Specialises in Malaysian cuisine. It used to be a total hole-in-the-wall restaurant that wouldn't have looked out of place in Malaysia, but has been renovated and expanded. It still is pretty cramped, but the food is as good as ever. Take your pick of dishes from the many pictures on the wall, though a must try is the deep-fried karipap as a starter. Their daily specials are also a good place to start, and Albee's is one of the few places selling Assam fish head curry in Sydney. Other branch in Cabramatta.
An all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant, with quite a wide selection of food. The lack of proper ventilation means the place can get pretty smoky, but it goes along with the dining experience as you grill your meat. The banchan (side dishes) are great too, so come with an empty stomach. It gets pretty busy during weekend evenings, and a booking may be best if you don't want to wait.
Serves Bun Bo Hue, a spicy noodle soup, which is a change from the beef pho more commonly found all around Sydney. The noodles are springy and there's a generous portion of meat. There's another branch in Cabramatta at Park Road and one more in Bankstown.
One of the best pho to be found in Sydney.
Crispy chicken, served with noodles or tomato rice.
This huge club, complete with imitation Italian piazza, rainforest, and train station and carriages, takes kitsch to a whole new level. Massive car park, walking distance from the station.
Try the Vietnamese iced coffee - thick, dark and very strong, sweetened with condensed milk and made with plenty of crushed ice.
This renamed Formule 1 motel delivers what it says on the pack. A room, clean bed, TV, and a night's sleep.
The largest shopping mall in Fairfield, which features a Big W, Woolworths and a large food court.
Second largest shopping centre in Fairfield, featuring a Kmart, Coles and outdoor cafes
A small shopping mall in Smart Street (but can also be entered from Ware Street).
