Right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Enmore and Surry Hills, you’ll find two Vietnamese street food cafes that go by the name of Great Aunty Three. Both are owned by Michael Le, a Sydney chef and fitness model, B and I recently had the pleasure of meeting. Michael was born in Vietnam and came to Australia when he was just eight months old. He comes from a family of foodies – his dad and grandmother both were chefs, and many of his uncles and aunties own restaurants and bakeries across Sydney. After spending ten years on the corporate ladder – and despite the hardships his family endured due to the strain caused by his father’s takeaway shop – Michael knew that opening a Vietnamese...
I recently dined at a charming Vietnamese restaurant located in the lower end of Surry Hills, near Elizabeth Street. The restaurant has a very casual, almost takeaway-style atmosphere, but also offers seating for those who wish to dine in. The menu features a variety of Vietnamese dishes such as banh mi, Pho, and rice bowls. I opted for a rice bowl which was served with a side salad, a fried egg, and the choice of protein. Unable to decide between pork and beef, the kind lady working there suggested a mix of both so I could determine my preference for next time. The beef was exceptionally tender, while the pork crackle was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying and healthy meal....
In search of best quality Pho during winter time, I decided to come to this place after running errand.Big bowl of soup cost you $13, and I think it's worth for you to try.What I think of is this dish is a national dish in Vietnam, along with some fresh roll and banh mi, this shop claiming that family recipe that's been practice more than 100 years.Meat are slice a little thick compare to another Vietnamese shop, which was ok to me.Beef broth was rich and sweet, but addition of hoisin sauce and some chilli sauce makes this dish is very enjoyable.Don't forget to squeeze lime on your broth to lift up the flavour
This restaurant serves modern Vietnamese street food. The pork bahn mi was made with a crunchy bread roll, slices of carrot and cucumber, coriander, juicy pork, and crackling. It's a modern twist on the traditional street food favorite. Instead of thinly sliced pork, this bahn mi was filled with fresh, coarsely cut pieces of 12-hour roasted pork. The best way to enjoy it is with your hands. For an extra $2, you can order double the meat. Don't forget to ask for some fresh chili to add to your roll.

Great Aunty Three is one of our all time favourite cafes and their special seafood roll being one of our all time favourite rolls however it was not permanent. So today we opted to get their 'Vego ' roll $10) which consisted of tofu, tomato, cucumber, avocado and a slightly spicy dressing. The ingredients were all really refreshing combined together and it was an overall really great Vietnamese roll. We 'll come back soon for their Pho and Rice Paper Rolls!
Walked past and the aroma was to die for! It led me right in! I ordered a Beef Pho and three rice paper rolls. The rolls were delicious, not cheap I may say but worth the try. Perhaps will only buy one next time if I'm REALLY hungry. The pho was very nice however the size was very small and the price was anything but. A good try however I will go elsewhere for Vietnamese, but again if I'm ever in Newtown!
It was clear to me, just from a quick glance, that this restaurant had the right concept for the right location. Right next to the immensely popular Chat Thai in what was once a grocery store that unusually sold Latin American ingredients, Great Aunty Three opened with an ironic, modern wink to Sydney, serving traditional Vietnamese street food, but with a modern twist.
I discovered this restaurant after my return from a trip to Vietnam. Although the prices may seem high if you have just come back from traveling, the delicious combination of flavors, spices, and crispy rolls make it worth a visit.

Probably the best bahn mi you can get. They've really taken the humble roll and jacked it up to a new level of awesomeness. If it wasn't for the price, I'd be here for lunch all the time
Barramundi Salad with X O Sauce was absolutely amazing. The Sauce is mind blowing. According to my colleague Bernard Wong : this place is actually improving unlike other places .
