Vietnamese Food in Australia is Better than in USA! Sydney & Melbourne Food Heaven Tour!

[@kyleledotnet]

Thank you so much for watching! The list of the places I visited are in the description. Come back soon for the next video, where I reunite a daughter from Indiana with her father in Sydney!

[@daisy9910]

Next time you need to come to the Blue Mountains. The Laughing Elephant in Wentworth Falls does the best Banh Mi rolls I've ever had.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

A paddock is a grassy rural field, a fallow unfarmed field. Really happy you had such a great time, we take our food VERY seriously in Australia 🌏 😁

[@andrewvolf2916]

Mate, should have stopped in Dickson in Canberra.

[@CeasefireNow2024]

This is what I love about Australia man said he is Lebanese, Japanese, English and born in Australia and his wife is Vietnamese. ❤

[@andrewvolf2916]

Agreed. I love how asking where someone is from isn't a bad thing. People actually interested how you ended up in Australia as we all have a story about how we got here.

[@rachkate76]

@@andrewvolf2916don’t speak on behalf of everyone. I’m Australian born, 48 years old and have lived here all my life, and racist Australians have the cheek to tell me I’m a Sri Lankan just because ONE of my parents is from there and lived there 60 years ago. Non whites don’t do that. Other cultures genuinely want to know, but racists do it to wrongly tell you that ‘you look different so you’re not one of us’.

[@slcinaus]

It’s really like that here 😂 I’m Lebanese, Palestinian, Aboriginal and Irish and was born in Sydney 😅

[@lukemckee2255]

​​​@@rachkate76 uhh mate ever been to Japan you'll never be accepted there unless your fully japanese alot of countries are exactly like that

[@the_tersorium]

@@andrewvolf2916 I don't do that anymore as it's not PC, but I only ever enquired out of genuine curiosity and it is a way to connect with people as well. Being of Scottish and English heritage isn't very interesting in Australia.

[@jolo6539]

The Lebanese guy spoke Vietnamese so well! Welcome to Australia Kyle 🇦🇺

[@tallaganda83]

Im Australian when I worked in France the thing I missed most about Australia was the Asian/Indian food, its truly top notch. Cabramatta is Vietnamese food heaven.

[@ChiNguyen-st2ur]

That group of friends seemed so much fun! Had the biggest smile watching the interaction.

[@naranja1972]

yea that's really cool they live in different parts of the world now and make time to have a trip together.

I love seeing big friend groups that last, especially when they're from across the world

[@ZootZinBootZ]

Wow man this is making me so proud. Im in Sydney , my parents just got back from 3 weeks in Na Trang & Saigon 2 days ago ... My mum has travelled lots but she came home beaming about the situation in Vietnam. Particularly keeps saying the Vietnamese men are the most respectful, most polite and helpful people she comes across wherever she is .... You are a lovely young man.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Banh Mi shops in Australia are DOMINATING Subway 👍 ❤ Banh Mi !!

[@DungarooTV]

I 100% agree with you - the Vietnamese food in Australia is very good!

[@kyleledotnet]

The pho and that mi were two of my favorites.

[@DungarooTV]

@@kyleledotnet good to hear from you bro - I've followed you for many years. Have you finished your college studies yet and what's your chosen career path? Good luck with everything and stay safe. Kevin from Australia

[@ll_spud]

​@kyleledotnet Yes. The pho noodles in Australia is better because it's fresh. My sister moved from Australia to USA and doesn't like the pho there

[@joshf-w9602]

@@ll_spudI think Australia has the best pho in the world, I’ve been to Saigon multiple times and still yet to find a place that’s better than what I get in Sydney. The spices, noodles, and even techniques are similar but the beef in Australia is much, much better

[@Jeni10]

Australia has lots of laws protecting our fresh produce - growing, gathering, storage and cooking - making everything safe to eat and because our standards are so high, the competition is strong and leads to better and better restaurants.

[@liemle82]

I went to Sydney in 2010 and was told this by a local after I told him how delicious all the foods were. I'm glad things are still like this today. I hope someday I can visit again.

[@retrospect4549]

We really appreciate the vietnamese food and culture in Sydney, its our honour to respect it and welcome you here 🙏

[@hihai_TV]

Over a decade later still supporting your channel, glad to see you thriving bro 🙌

Nothing better than being recognised for the things youve done, and not to mention in Aussieland. Hope you had a great time here kyle

[@lukeblythman1893]

So weird to see Pho Chu The in your videos as someone who has been watching your content for quite a few years! As a Western person that speaks Vietnamese I’ve always found your videos helpful to expand my vocabulary and listen to real conversation.

3:32 it’s a ibis we call them bin chickens as there always eating out of bins

[@gex1983]

I yelled “bin chicken” the moment I saw it.

[@ericamary6778]

I'm glad you made it to Australia, Kyle. Hope you enjoyed it ❤

[@antonc81]

3:30 that’s an ibis also unaffectionately known as the “bin-chicken”, due to its affinity for rummaging through garbage bins.

[@eeveee9530]

I'm so happy you love our Viet food! We are very proud of it 😊

[@sydneysider386]

I didn't know you were in Australia. That must be a few months back as it's winter now in Oz. Glad you had a good time and yes we follow you and we know you 😁 Keep up the good work Kyle.

[@lusimyer]

Cool...Ive been watching you for a while. I am in Melbourne Australia. I am so surprised you were here..nice! I love the vietnamese food here, its good to hear a Vietnamese say Australia has really good Vietnamese food. Glad you had a great time in Oz. ❤😊😊

[@iancremmins4727]

aaaah it finally clicked to me, i watched your video because KZbin presented it to me and it had Australia in the title but at the end links came up for more of your videos and it was there that i realised i have watched your video's before, i can see why those other people were excited to meet you because i love your work also. glad your stay in Australia was a positive one.

[@kyleledotnet]

Thank you!

[@stormasiandragon]

Jack definitely impressed his wifes parents, i always love it when other people learn and speak our languages.

[@tuanlesg]

I was in june this year in Sidney. Banh mi in Sidney is the best. Better than in Houston. And the people in shop in Sidney are more friendlier than vietnamese in Houston. Well done the people in Sidney

[@Dr_KAP]

Sydney 😊

[@DuncanLu]

I also agree that Vietnamese Food in Australia is incredible...largely due to the ease of access to top produce such as Aussie wagyu and the seafood from our pristine waters.

[@MinhNgo-f2c]

thats amazing man!! yes its true the beef and seafood in australia is another level and i go to socal/oc area a lot because my grandpa lives there hahah

[@angelareimann6433]

Of course it's awesome! Australian Vietnamese are the best. They fit right in, work hard, love family, and enjoy a beer. The food is fantastic.

[@jayyy2458]

Yes unlike a lot of other immigrants. Vietnamese love to have bbq, drink VB, talk smack and dont let religion get in the way. Love it or leave it.

[@rachkate76]

Hope you defend minorities when your kind heap racism on us. Otherwise it doesn’t really count for anything by just taking our food and cultures.

[@DavidtheFoodie]

[@kyleledotnet]

They have many little Saigon’s!! The really famous one in Cabramatta will be featured in the next video!

[@rachelkillcare5203]

I have been searching and never found Vietnamese food in Australia anywhere near as good as Vietnam!

[@emyrdaniela6037]

this episode warmed my heart.

[@booklover555]

That chance second meeting at the gas station happened because it was meant to. I loved hearing you say that that moment is inspiring you to follow up their long distance 45 year friendship story with a Kyle Le documentary. I’ll be anxiously waiting for it.

[@kyleledotnet]

I would love to, but a third meeting even a scheduled one would be extremely difficult and even more difficult to produce a documentary, but who knows, stranger things have happened.

Wow! I grew up near bankstown and I never new to go eat Hu Tieu at that restaurant you went to. Loved this content! To the comment above about how Vietnamese are always comparing food 😂 WELL, I grew up amongst all this good Vietnamese food. And then I went abroad to several places and missed it so much. I’m still here in the US and maybe it’s because I haven’t lived by the big viet communities, but I’m always comparing it against Cabramatta as a standard. The Banh mis aka pork rolls are incomparable!

I have not tired US Vietnamese food, but between Perth, Sydney and Melbourne, I reckon Melbourne has the best Vietnamese food

[@mdee8784]

Australia is basically an Asian country really so the food is everywhere

[@just_passing_through]

To be totally honest, it’s not just Vietnamese food which is better in Australia. ALL FOOD in Australia is better than its American equivalent. In my opinion it’s because, although we do ‘adapt’ cuisines, we do not try to completely reinvent them in the way America does. We actually embrace the differences in the food rather than try to homogenise it.

[@kyleledotnet]

Makes sense to me!

[@afroabroad]

Yeah. Even Thai, Korean, Japanese and Mexican too. Also soul food and Cajun you can’t forget how much better Caribbean, Nigerian and Egyptian food the aussies make is so much better too. Can’t forget barbecue either. Mm mmm 🤣🤣🤣

[@just_passing_through]

@@afroabroad Bastardising foreign foods sky,d never work here as we have too many people from these countries living her, who know better, and would boycott any attempt at changing time honoured dishes. We keep it as authentic as we can, and we are all better off for it.

[@afroabroad]

@@just_passing_through Yeah because America isn’t diverse at all. Never had immigrants from Cuba, Jamaica or Honduras. And there is no possible way ‘Merica could ever have more Vietnamese immigrants than Australia. The same with Aussie bbq or steak that doesn’t need seasoning it’s so good ya just cook it without any seasoning at all.
