Cabramatta is a suburb in south-western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Cabramatta is located 30 kilometres (19 mi) south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Fairfield.

Cabramatta is colloquially known as 'Cabra' and has the largest Vietnamese community in Australia. It is also Australia's largest non-Anglo-Celtic commercial precinct. The population demographics are reflected by the many Vietnamese-Australian businesses. As a result, the suburb is considered a gourmand destination for Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian and Chinese cuisines.

Cabramatta used to have a longstanding image problem, primarily due to its reputation as a point for drug-dealing. These drug activities began from the early 1990s (to late) as drug addicts were drawn to the area. However, since 2002, the problems have receded after an anti-drug crackdown was enforced by the NSW State Parliament.

Having one of the biggest Vietnamese communities in Australia, makes Cabramatta a delicious eating suburb. It's easy to get lost in the many arcades, just remember John Street is the main thoroughfare and Freedom Plaza, guarded by the lion sculptures of the Pai Lau – Freedom Arch, is in the centre of it all.

Things to do in Cabramatta

Shop, for food and fabric. As well as an array of Asian specialty stores stocking fragrant herbs and spices, this is where Sydneysiders flock to for fabric. There are just as many haberdashery stores lining the arcades as there are grocers. The shopkeepers are friendly, if you're not sure what you're looking for just ask and they'll happily explain.

If it's too overwhelming to explore on your own, join a food tour, such as Gourmet Safaris or Taste Cultural Food Tours, and learn about Vietnamese food and culture, meet locals, shop for ingredients, and savour lunch. I Ate My Way Through’s tour explores the area's culinary treasures on a progressive lunch.

Most restaurants in Cabramatta specialise in one or two dishes, so it's worth going on a food crawl to cherry-pick the best. Phu Quoc is famous for goi cuon, DIY fresh rice paper rolls made from Vietnamese herbs, vegetables, vermicelli noodles and grilled meat or seafood. Tan Viet is known for its egg noodles and crispy-skin chicken.

Order the pho, a noodle soup with a fragrant broth at Pho Tau Bay and head to Viet Hoah Bakery banh mi, otherwise known as a Vietnamese Pork Roll. Thanh Binh is another local institution, try a fresh salad of jellyfish, prawn and chicken with mint, pickles, lotus root and lemon topped with crushed peanut.

While Vietnamese is the predominant cuisine, there are also Chinese, Thai, Laotian and Cambodian restaurants. Try Golden Harvest Seafood for yum cha (dim sum) and Iron Chef Chinese Seafood, known for its pipis tossed in chili and XO sauce. In nearby Canley Heights are more fabulous dining options, such as Holy Basil and Twelve Spices.

Cabramatta is an easy day trip less than an hour by train from Sydney’s city centre. If you don’t have enough stomach space and want to stay a little longer, there's also accommodation available.
