At a glance Viet-Thai looks like and average local miscellanious Asian takeaway restaurant. The facade's lack of appeal stopped me trying the food for many years, despite living in the neighbourhood for sometime.
In fact, I don't think I even noticed it was there for the longest time... lucky for me some foodie friends reccommended we get take away from Viet-Thai the other night much to the groups chagrin. We had a large group and were sharing, so I got to try quite a broad range of dishes. Even a spring roll, which I would just about never order for myself but they were huge and tasty! You could actually taste the filling... which is rare, as I tend to think of them as crispy deep fried empty calories.
All of the food was fresh and flavoursome! In fact I'm in a rush to go back again it was so good and the prices were really affordable, I think the most expensive dish is a seafood one at $13.90!! Standard pork, chicken and beef dishes are just $9 (bargain basement for a city slicker like me).
Real standouts were the prawn dishes, the prawns were large and perfectly cooked, popping perfectly in the mouth. Goong Choo Chee (prawns w/ curry and coconut milk) was part way between a wet and dry dish andparticularly impressive. read more
