When your stomach starts to grumble, Bankstown is a safe bet for finding a satisfying meal.

This Western Sydney suburb has turned around its unsavory reputation of the past, and is now known as a popular melting pot of culture and cuisine. Here's our favourite restaurants in the Bankstown area!

AN Restaurant

There's only one thing on the menu here at AN Restaurant, and that's deliciously authentic Vietnamese pho soup. We huge fans of the rare beef, topped with their famous sate chilli sauce and a little bit of hoisin. Service here is lightning fast, which is a godsend as there's always a crowd waiting out the front. These big bowls of soupy goodness are worth travelling for!

Banh Mi Bay Ngo

Situated in the busy Bankstown City Plaza area, Banh Mi Bay Ngo has been voted Sydney's best banh mi by Good Food, and we can totally see why. Even with a line, the service here at Banh Mi Bay Ngo is fast and friendly. The ladies here are very generous with their fillings, and the ratio of meat to vegetables is higher than other Vietnamese bakeries around town. The vegetables are perfectly pickled, the mayo is super creamy, and the crispy pork is to die for!

Al Aseel

Al Aseel is probably the most iconic Lebanese restaurant in Sydney, and for good reason. Its menu is full of mouth-watering Lebanese flavours, served in big portions fit for even the biggest of appetites. Al Aseel's newest outpost in Bankstown Sport Club is the perfect place to bring a group of friends and share plates of delicious Middle Eastern food.

Hotpot City

Hotpot City in Little Saigon Plaza is arguably the best place in Bankstown for a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet experience. You'll find an amazing spread of seafood, meat, vegetables and noodles, plus they have a fully stocked sauce bar. Winning! With such a high turnover of customers the food is always fresh, and the staff come around to refill your soup when it's running low. Pick your soup flavour and get stuck into plates of all your hot pot favourites.
