“ Hands down the best crackling pork banh mi I’ve had in Brisbane for $12. Price wise it’s consistent with everywhere else at the moment. There’s a public holiday surcharge of 10%, not sure if there’s a card surcharge as well because I paid in cash. Shop doesn’t have many seats it’s more of a take away kind of restaurant. Tables could be cleaned after patron has left but I guess staff were busy at the back cooking. Customer service was alright, took a while before I was served even though they sale me walk in. Flavour wise this banh mi hits the spot. Highly recommended! ”
“ Excellent crackling pork. The bread was so fresh, pork cooked perfection and good amount of salad in the roll . Definitely will be back to try other dishes. ”
“ Amazing food!! Pork crackling bahn mi + 2 suck baos were the perfect size for dinner. Delicious sauces, meat cooked to perfection and balanced flavour. Super quick service too. 100% happy about it ”
“ Roast duck fried rice is so delicious! I love how the rice has the perfect amount of crisps to it. Banh mi is also one of the best I have in Brisbane. ”
“ 10/10 every time and i have been going here for years! The vegetarian pho is incredible! I also love having the vegetarian rice noodle salad over the summer time too. So soo good! I recommend it to everyone and everyone that takes my recommendations on board agrees. My partner loves the banh mi rolls. ”
“ Randomly visited Crackling while passing through the area, and glad we did! My wife ordered the Wonton & Pork soup, while I selected the Roast Duck Noodle soup. Both were excellent, with silky, delicately flavoured broth and plenty of ingredients. I counted at least six decent chunks of duck in my soup, probably more, and we both left full and satisfied. We were that impressed that we returned again the following week. I stuck to my duck guns, while my wife gravitated towards the Crispy Skin Chicken Noodle soup. Again, lots of protein received, with the chicken actually being served on a separate plate. Considering other businesses will simply add shredded chicken to their meals, this was impressive. And filling! Overall, Crackling is a humble business that provides decent service and wonderful meals. It's money well spent, especially on these cold winter nights. I'm glad we found them and we will be back. ”
