Decided to take a huge gamble today and visit Gia Hoi over my favourite place in Bankstown serving the same thing Dong Ba. Sadly, the gamble didn't pay off and in fact resembled my first experience here many years ago. Simply put, the soup was not flavoursome enough for their signature Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Chilli Beef Noodles). The soup lacked richness, and aromats to give complexity.
It was a shame because the place looked very clean, the service was friendly and efficient and the noodles came out in record time. The bowl was huge and the quality of the ingrediants were spot on and the noodles were not overcooked as Dong Ba sometimes does but as with any Vietnamese noodle soups, the hero lies...

If you're going to chose to eat at Gia Hoi, I would advise eating at the Canley Vale one. This Bankstown store is so cheap on the noodles and meat. The bowl looks huge, until you delve in and find you could probably finish the bowl in two or three bites. Also, the broth isn't as flavoursome.
I've tried the bun Rieu, hu tieu and the egg noodle soups... All to be very average and slightly bland. I would rather eat something else here or go elsewhere.
However, they make nice rice and vermicelli dishes. My favourite is the grilled chicken. Very highly marinated but very succulent. The boys eat this dish when they want to treat themselves to rice and chicken.
This is my local Vietnamese restaurant I go to regularly for my fix of traditional tasty Vietnamese food. Good variety of dishes that are very fresh and tasty. My favourite dish is the sugarcane prawn with rice vermicelli you can make your own rice paper rolls with - delicious each and every time. The crispy chicken with tomato rice or noodle soup is also a must try! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Good value for the portions, decent hearty warm soupy meals for cold weather. Meals were nothing out of the ordinary but can definitely recommend the Vietnamese iced coffee. Not many cafes or restaurants do a good mix of the coffee but this restaurant nailed this drink ????????✨
Ordered the bun bo hue. The serving was large, and food came out within a couple of minutes. The broth was full of flavour and the various meats in the bowl were delicious. And the fact that it didn't hurt my wallet was the icing on the cake. One of my favourite places to eat.
Pho is not my only favourite here but avocado milkshake is thumb up too
Pho with avocado milkshake (prefect match)
Gia Hoi got many shops across Sydney but I only like the one in Bankstown. Staffs are friendly and foods are the best among all
My pho was so-so this time, size was good but I just wasn't feeling the noodles or the ingredients all that much, it's like the pho didn't lift me the way it should have, this place does have a good vibe when seated though
Bye Gia x

A famous Vietnam restaurant in bankstown. I love their spicy beef noodle soup and spring roll. The portion of them is very big and the taste is so delicious. And staff are friendly too. I love it
