Vietnamese New Year 2023 at Ngon

Overview

Vietnamese New Year is upon us for 2023 and, as it does every year, Paddington's Ngon is celebrating. When you're a family-owned neighbourhood Vietnamese eatery that goes big on traditional flavours, but with a fresh twist, this occasion is always going to be a big event — and it clearly is for the Nguyen brothers.

This round of festivities includes a week of feasting from Tuesday, January 24–Saturday, January 28 — aka reason enough to eat, drink and be merry on Given Terrace.  Make a date for dinner across the week and you'll firmly be in New Year's mode.

The food menu goes big on family favourites, as the restaurant's cuisine does anyway. So, get ready to tuck into traditional skewers on coal, including beef with betel leaf; nem nướng, aka grilled pork sausage; corn with scallion oil and squid with green chilli sauce.

Bookings are necessary, and calling is recommended less than two weeks out.
