Phamous Kitchen

Quite simply, this is one of the BEST restaurants in Balmain. Dear God, the food is extraordinary. The service is fantastic. I travel from Wollongong to eat here. You will not be disappointed at all. Highly recommend the pork belly w chilli jam, the rendang and the scallops. You need to eat here!!!

Eating here is always a delight. The food is fresh and super tasty. The team are super friendly and make the dining experience perfect. We always over order. Leaving here super full is a must!

We ordered 5 dishes for dinner today: sunkissed scallop, crispy prawn toast, lotus shoot salad, wonton and tamarind duck. Unfortunately I did not take photos of them. But they all tasted heavenly amazing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definitely come back.

I wanted to give this restaurant more stars as the food was good however it is just way too overpriced. This is made worse by the small size of some of the appetisers as well as the fact they charged us $1 each per takeaway container (without telling us - we realised after checking the bill).

It’s great to be able to wine and dine again at this little boutique restaurant. Beautiful food and warm and friendly staff. This particular meal is one of my favourites. The fun part is making your own rolls of course!!!

Super fresh, super tasty. The best massaman curry, pork chilli jam, pad thai I have ever found in Australia! Using all fresh ingredients. Been several times. And byo too

Tonight wax my second visit to this Vietnamese Restaurant and certainly won't be the last of may more. Great menu items, Wonderful tasting foods, i wondered if the food would be of the same standard on my second visit but it exceeded my expectations again. I look forward to my next visit again soon.

The food here was absolutely delicious and came with unique flavours I hadn’t experienced before. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very relaxed, perfect for a night out with a loved one where you want to be able to chat easily over dinner. The staff were friendly and were easy to get a hold of.
We were thankful they were open as we dined on a public holiday. They charged an extra 10% because of it. This wasn’t a problem but it would have been nice to have been made aware of the additional charge up front, rather than when we got to paying the bill.

Very unique and tasty take on traditional Vietnamese dishes. The dishes were full of flavour and definitely mouth watering. Amazing ambiance and customer service would highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Restaurant was clean and busy late In the evening. I had wagyu beef with rice,,, yummy

Wincing a little at the spelling of the name, I entered Phamous Kitchen with some trepidation. I'm not a big fan of Sydney's Thai Foon of Thai Riffic restaurant pun names and I feared that Vietnamese restaurants were about to become just as Hanoi-ing... Luckily, in this case the name is simply a reference to the owner and chef, Thanh Pham. He lives in Bankstown - pretty much the heart of Sydney's Vietnamese community - but has brought his cooking skills to bear in Balmain.

The restaurant is situated on the highly competitive restaurant strip opposite Balmain Hospital and Gladstone
