A taste of South East Asia with a focus on fresh, local produce. Think big steaming bowls of pho & laska's, whole coconuts, delicious cocktails, Asian beers, fresh colorful dishes, healthy and tasty, lighthearted and most of all FUN!
19 Kitchener Dr 800, Darwin
Done well: - Clearly marked vegan options - Nice atmosphere - Vegan Laksa 4/5 Vegan Bun Salad - not fresh at all, missing key elements like fresh chilis and vinegar in the dressing. - Noodles overcooked clumpy mess (90% of the dish) -Not enough veg and herbs (fresh lime would be a good touch too) - Spring rolls had a good flavour!
Authentic Vietnamese food with lovely tropical bar. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Very busy on Saturday nights but still maintain good service. Reasonable price. Recommended for casual dining with hungry crowds.
I had fried rice. It was nice, with a good location too!
Really tasty as usual ($15 chicken pho).
Best spot at the waterfront for dinner.
I went to chow for dinner 19th June 2021. There was a waitlist and we waited for our number to come. We did get our seats which I am thankful for however what followed after was really disappointing. Our mains were being brought 10 min apart from each other. The food lacked any flavours, if I wanted to eat bland food I might as well have just made simple soup at home. We had ordered Veg Pad Thai and Pork. The Pad Thai was super greasy with no sauce of any kind. Anyways we decided not to make an issue out it and decided would take the food home and add some sauce and extra flavour to the food and eat. When we got home we found a chicken piece along the tofu in our Vegetarian Pad Thai. If I wanted chicken I would have ordered chicken, I am vegetarian for a reason. For the entre we had vegetarian rice paper roll, there was no vego in there, all I could taste was vermicelli noodle wrapped in rice paper roll and to our surprise we found freaking potato chips in our Vegetarian Rice paper roll. I guess the Chef just wanted to surprise us with his/her take on modern South East Asian Cuisine. It really is very frustrating and disappointing regarding the whole situation. Well if you ever crave Vietnamese, this is the last place to go. I would suggest anyone reading this to go to your local store and buy the ingredients and it would still taste much better than what CHOW serves to their customers. Never going back again!!
Nasi Goreng was very nice, Spicy Beef with bamboo shoots was mild and a little bland, Garlic Prawns was light on as far as garlic is concerned and a couple of prawns needed the shells removed. However overall it was good wholesome food. I would go there again.
It started with the prawn crackers, they were soft, not even crunchy. And then the spring rolls, they looked and had the taste of frozen stuff. But the best was the main dish, fried seafood dish, absolutely disgusting, inedible. I wouldn't recommend it. The good point was the daiquiri cocktail. This restaurant is to avoid from my point of view 🙃
The food and service was amazing!!! Had seafood stir fry- first class, pad Thai- delicious. Staff were lovely, had a fantastic experience
This was recommended to us, and it did not disappoint! The food was quick and really tasty!
