Story summary

Com Ga Ba Nga Hoi An, a popular Vietnamese restaurant known for its soul-warming specialties, has opened a new branch in Bankstown. The expansion comes largely due to its signature dish: Hoi An-style com ga (chicken rice). Located near the Bankstown station, the restaurant is cash-only, so patrons are advised to use an ATM nearby before dining.

The restaurant's success stems from dishes such as turmeric-tinted rice and free-range chicken that is pulled behind the counter for freshness. Other highlights include papaya salad, sweet stewed offal, and pho ga with a clear broth and poached drumstick meat. The menu also features crisp snail spring rolls served with house-made nuoc cham.

Located in Bankstown, this new branch mirrors the perpetually packed shopfront in Cabramatta. Patrons can enjoy iced "soaked crocodile water" tea or apricot soda to complement their meal, and take home portions for breakfast the next day.
