Cabramatta
Australia's Vietnamese food capital
Cabramatta is the real deal. Vietnamese immigration transformed this suburb from the 1970s onward and what exists today is one of the most authentic Vietnamese food communities outside of Vietnam. John Street is the main strip — pho, banh mi, fresh rice paper rolls, Vietnamese BBQ, boba tea. Go hungry.

Local Tips
Go on a weekend morning when it's busiest and most atmospheric. Most places are BYO. Cash preferred at smaller spots.
