Chill Restaurant in Crow’s Nest is the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant I’ve tried on the North side.
I ordered the crispy skin chicken with tomato rice and let me say this is one of the best dishes I’ve had at a Vietnamese restaurant in Sydney. The chicken was very juicy, tender and the skin cooked to crunchy perfection. The salad was very fresh and the sweet fish sauce was the perfect addition to the whole dish. The sauce also had red chilli in it which I loved and added a nice kick to everything. Highly recommend getting the tomato rice with this (only $1 extra) as it added an extra level of flavour profile compared to the regular rice.
Chill also has plenty of gluten free choices as with most Vietnamese restaurants. My partner ordered the vermicelli with grilled lemongrass beef (pic 2). Even though the menu didn’t say it was gluten free we asked and they said it can be made gluten free. The dish was absolutely delicious as well and my partner who is coeliac felt completely fine afterwards. This is our new go to spot for Vietnamese food in the North Shore.
