An Chut Chut

Located behind the Wollongong town hall, nestled in the shade for large trees with a little park in front of it, An Chut Chut is quite unassuming.

There is a hand written menu on several blackboards outside the front of the restaurant and little to indicate what is in-store for patrons and to entice new customers to the place. For those who are well travelled, they might notice that the menu is quite limited, reminiscent of South East Asian street food stalls. This is a good thing, as you'll soon discover what they serve, they do very, very well.

There is no table service as you order at the counter indoors. Your order is served to you quickly with a very polite and smiley staff.

If you order the bahn mi, it is served in a fresh warm and crunchy bun that's soft in the centre, and filled with a tangy salad that's well balanced with the protein of your choice.

Trying the rice pancakes? It's served on a paper lined basked woven plate. The pancake is crisp and crunchy, and topped with a wonderful salad. On this occasion I selected the salmon and it was cooked to perfection and laid on top of the salad enticingly.

Both of these dishes are amazing in execution. Finely balanced flavours and textures, leaving you totally satisfied but not making you feel heavy and full.

The Vietnamese style ice coffee is strong and sweet. Great flavour and complements the dishes well.

Sit indoors or use a table in the park. It's a wonderful area to enjoy your meal and drink.

You'd be a fool to walk past this place and not give An Chut Chut a try.

Totally give 5 stars to the restaurant because of delicious food, cheerful and fast service attitude. Cozy space suitable for relaxing and enjoying delicious food with family.

Love this place. Always busy. Inside and outside seating. The rice paper rolls are the best in town.. 🔥🔥

A must try Vietnamese food. Their stir fried noodle is a must ordered + beef pho🍲

Great atmosphere with outdoor seating. Loved their vegan pancake, cracking pork noodles and salted kumquat drink. So happy they’re open on weekends now.

Tucked away at the back of the courtyard between the Wollongong Art Gallery and Performing Arts Centre is a hidden foodie gem!!!

An Chut Chut serves up traditional Vietnamese food with a wonderful twist.

Whilst the venue has limited seating inside the proximity to the large public courtyard means that alfresco dining is the order of the day. Fair weather dining sees lunch time office workers pour into this tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Crown and Burelli Streets. The varying incarnations of seating add to the street food experience that makes this such a fun place to eat.

Everything on the menu is fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Servings are generous and packed with flavour. Service is fast and friendly and meals come out quickly which is great for those on a tight lunch break.

On the day we visited we opted for the Vietnamese pancake and noodle salad.

The noodle salad was served with delicious thick noodles that everyone loves. Warm and coated in a beautiful sauce then covered with fresh crispy salad and perfectly cooked pork pieces. The two spring rolls making a great dish even more enjoyable.

The stand out, must try, dish at An Chut Chut is the Vietnamese pancake! Put all your ideas of what a Vietnamese pancake should be into the old and boring box because what is served in this pancake is way outside the box and bloody terrific.

The delicate rice flour pancake is crispy on the bottom and moist and sumptuous on the flip side. Loaded on top is a burst of fresh salad and herbs and the meat (veg options available too) of your choice cooked in a subtle but complimentary marinade. The addition of freshly desiccated coconut and bubble tea style popping pomegranate all combine to make this a fascinating and delicious feast!

The way to eat this dish is to get into it with your hands, breaking off a piece of the pancake base and loading it up with the salad and meat; it’s a fun and intimate connection between food and foodie that makes the world a happier place 😀.

We washed our meals down with a refreshing ice tea and a sensually sweet Vietnamese iced coffee. Both delicious!

This little gem just hit my favourites list!! I will be back, over and over again!

One of our favourites! Delicious food and great customer service.
They are now open for lunch on the weekend which is great news to those who don't work in the town area.

Delicious and descent price. A lot of places in the area use MSG - meals were flavoursome, yet natural. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options.

One of our favourite eateries. Authentic Vietnamese food with very friendly service.
Edit: They now have a printed menu.

Try this tasty street Vietnamese restaurant. Eat out under the trees in the precinct. You can crunch on crispy banh mi, slurp on super rich pho (beef or pork). I tried the rice paper rolls with chicken, the baked bao and a tapioca dumpling. It’s a treat to have this in Wollongong. And try one of the really unique teas. Worth two visits.

My favourite lunch spot in Wollongong CBD. Self serve tea at the door entrance. The food is very authentic, really yummy, i usually go Traditional Vegan Meal (made up of 5-7 mini bowls!) , its simply devine, very generous servings. The service is quite fast. Really friendly owners and staff. Outdoor and indoor eating. You will want to visit here more than just once!

I highly recommend This restaurant. They can be busy sometimes and the restaurant is quite small, but there’s sit outside. The food are yummy, unique, classy and cheap. The staff are amazing and friendly. They’re Always checking on us and feeling sorry because it was a little bit of rain. Just be careful for kids some food are can be spicy my son ate some spicy. They only open weekdays and 11-3pm. Good luck

Went for a late lunch yesterday for New Year’s Day and it was amazing 🤩🙏🏻✨so fresh and delicious 😋 also the environment is beautiful! We loved everything from the food to the service and the energy vibes , thanks ☺ we will be back soon, happy 😃 2024

Small family dining room experience , delicious food and service resembling visit to a family. Their pho is especially refine and simply delicious.

Absolutely superb beef & pork pho with vegan spring rolls so crispy. If you like pho you have to try An Chut Chut for authentic Vietnamese cuisine

Amazing food.

Stir fry is amazing and love their spring rolls and rice paper rolls. Dumplings are top quality but they sell out super fast 😳

Daily menu can change but always has options for vegan & meat eaters - option a full range of options for everyone - vegan, chicken, pork, fish, beef.... The food is interesting, fresh, incredibly tasty and very well priced.

No neon lights and blaring music - which is a nice change from most other places. Tucked behind the always busy Lee & Me and looks out to the IPAC and the back of the art gallery.

Food is available to take away & the containers & cutlery are eco friendly.

This delightful Vietnamese cafe is a hidden gem with a vibrant atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The beef pho was a flavorful masterpiece, and the crackling pork Bahn mi was a crunchy, savory delight. While the staff were attentive, it was the food and ambiance that truly stole the show. A must-visit for those craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a charming setting.

Can recommend the rice noodle with egg stir fry. Wasn't the most filling but it was good.

One of our favourites for Vietnamese pancake, pho and noodle salad.
