Vietnamese New Year at Ngon

Overview

Vietnamese New Year is upon us for 2024 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 focuses on a night of feasting on Saturday, February 10 — aka reason enough to eat, drink and be merry on Given Terrace.  Make a date for dinner for the evening and you'll firmly be in New Year's mode.

Costing $70, the food menu goes big on family favourites, as the restaurant's cuisine does anyway. So, get ready to tuck into Vietnamese sausages, dumpling cakes, prawn pancakes, Vietnamese chicken curry, baby barramundi with papaya slaw, pork belly and quail eggs, and more.

Bookings are necessary, and calling is recommended. The night starts with arrivals at 6pm, with dinner beginning at 6.30pm and lion dances from 7.30pm.
