Stumbled upon Dong Ba and recalled the name from a recent review discussion. Unbeknownst to me at the time of entry, this particular outlet was their first, and according to the Aunty at the counter, the best one of the lot!
We arrived at 2pm so the lunch crowd had long gone and staff were prepping for dinner service. In my haste, and having not received much help from the waitress who spoke very limited English, I ordered the first dish on the menu. Luckily this turned out to be their signature, and the one I had intended to try.
The noodles are not your standard flat rice noodles. These are reminiscent of spaghetti, albeit made of rice, and had a surprisingly similar texture. Not sure i...

We arrived at 2 pm so that the lunch had long since disappeared and the staff was ready for dinner. In my hurry, and after the waitress, the very limited English said, I ordered the first court on the menu. Fortunately, this turned out as her signature, and what I wanted. Grief

The noodles are not their standard RICE noodles. These remind of Spaghetti, albeit from rice, and had a surprisingly similar texture. Not sure if I prefer this about the traditional way, but I definitely lo...

The facilitated home resistance in Cabra is Dong Ba, which I have heard plenty. On my first visit, I wanted to try out her spicy beef noodle (which Dong Ba differentiates something that is something for the multitude of other Viet style restaurants in the area in the area of others). Grief

Cut into the persecution, I loved her "spaghetti" like spicy beef rice noodle 4/5. The rice noodle was blanched near perfection. Also orders the same W egg noodles, but preferred the 'Spag' rice noodle. No trips, no gut no offal, but with blood jelly. Beauty. Since I have a pretty tolerant (read: enjoyment) of sharp food, I needed her fresh chili sauce to lift the excitement. Grief

Located slightly off the main drag in cabra is dong ba, which i have heard plenty about. On my 1st visit, i was keen to try out their spicy beef noodle (which differentiates dong ba somewhat to the multitude of other viet style eateries in the area).
Cutting to the chase, i loved their 'spaghetti' like spicy beef rice noodle 4/5. The rice noodle was blanched close to perfection. Ordered the same w egg noodles as well but preferred the 'spag' rice noodle. No tripes no intestines no innards but with blood jelly. Beaut. As i have quite a tolerance (read: enjoyment) of spicy food, i needed their fresh chilli sauce to up the excitement.

It is incredible to have two shops in the same suburb from the same company differ so much. The John street Dong Ba was a forgetible experience but this branch is probably the best in Sydney surpassing my favourite Bankstown store.
The noodles are cooked perfectly. The meats are all cooked well as is the pigs blood and there is a good proportion of meat to noodles. The trademark layer of chilli oil on top was present and there was a good lemongrass flavour underlying the soup. The Bankstown branch sometimes tends to overcook their noodles so this experience is probably everything I expect in a good Bon Bo Hue.
Dong Ba is known for their bun bo hue which is beef/pork noodle soup. Their noodle soup never fails because it is the best place for noodle soup. The service is really fast and the environment is quite and big. The food tastes the same every time. It is affordable for casual dining and they have other Vietnamese dishes available.

I came here ordering pho and I found not one but two flies in my bowl! It was disgusting. I told them about it and ended not paying for it they didn't seem surprised and didn't apologise.. Never coming here again
