Lido Restaurant Northbridge - Perth

Not the same as I recalled it when it was up the road...no ambience, food is ok but mandate and same as the standard average Vietnamese casual restaurants...price not even competitive. Venue is needy. Nice people but.... Unlikely for me to recommend this one amidst the many other alternatives and options. Sorry Lido...things are just not the same anymore, it's not you it's probably me, now spoilt with choice and high standard of availability.

Light and tasty food for healthy souls. We had the prawn chicken salad which had Vietnam written all over. Then duck rice rolls zero frying oil. The shaking veal was tender and salty and tasted of Hanoi in summer. For a bit naughty unhealthy treat we had the deep fried prawns soaked in salty egg yolk cholesterol laden but utterly ridiculous tasty. Served on a bed of deep fried crunchy noodles. No carbs tonight. Just fibers, veggies, protein and frying oil. Burp!

There are so many reasons to love Lido! My friends and I call on this long-lasting Asian eatery when we need access to a comfortable meal before a night out on the town. I never feel rushed to finish my meal here. Drawn out, social dinners are pretty much customary. The restaurant can accommodate big groups with lots of large round tables, ideal for food sharing. It's BYO so you can bring your wine or beer and nick the cost of drinking out afterward. The staff don't care how rowdy you get either. Everyone seems to be drinking and eating and having a good time, and the noise only makes for a fun and lively atmosphere. There is not a huge requirement to book and you can generally get a table just by rocking up. The service is snappy and food is out in minutes! There's a constant flow of staff scurrying to and from the kitchen window and hot plates of sizzling meat are rested at tables at every interval. The food itself is Vietnamese with a smear of Chinese and a tone of tastiness. The stir-fried scalllop dishes are a good choice. Cooked in a few different ways, the scallops themselves are cooked to perfection and melt away in your mouth. The satay hot plates go down a treat too, and the Kai-lan is an appetizing way to increase your greens quota. Lido is a Northbridge and a William Street icon. It really sets you up for a night full of amusement and good times. I recommend it highly.

This Vietnamese restaurant in Northbridge is a neighborhood gem especially since it stands out as a classy clean restaurant on a dark corner surrounded by dodgy establishments. Though it is a Vietnamese restaurant with the most expansive menu I've ever seen ever heard of salty lemonade or a drink with durian and longan , the set up looks quite Chinese. We ordered the duck paper rolls 2 pieces as our entree for 9 dollars that arrived with a delicious sweet sauce. For our main, we ordered the Japanese fried tofu with spinach and mushrooms and the spicy lemongrass fish. We also ordered steam rice for two. The food was delicious with huge portions huge we had so much leftover rice . And all for 47 dollars. What a bargain. Only downfall is that the food tastes quite Chinese rather than Vietnamese. Definitely going back but in a group. Their banquet is only 30 per person. :

Cheap Asian Food, BYO, the friendliest staff ever, huge tables, what more could you want! We love to come here in big groups for birthdays or just drinks and a meal before heading out for a dance. The staff are so accommodating and friendly, I have never had a bad experience here. Love the roast duck noodle dish and it is only $14! what a bargain!
