Khoi Eatery

There’s no shortage of Vietnamese restaurants in Marrickville, but even so, Khoi’s got a fair bit going for it. It’s family-owned and BYO, for starters, and you’ll find many familiar hits – rice paper rolls, spring rolls, chargrilled skewers, pho and vermicelli noodles – on the menu, with ample vegan options in almost every category. Crowd favourites include the banh trang nuong, a pizza-like street food speciality with grilled rice paper for a base, as well as a classic broken rice with barbecued pork chop or lemongrass chicken. Be sure to keep Mondays and Tuesdays front of mind if you’re low on dough – a regular-sized bowl of pho only sets you back a tenner from open till close. Then again, most of the other dishes land at less than $15, so even if you come with worries, money shouldn’t be one of them.
