About Illawarra Pork Roll
For a pork roll in Marrickville, this is a name that comes up often. Illawarra Pork Roll sells banh mi and pork rolls across the counter, and the word locally is that the bread is the thing: crunchy outside, soft inside, with generous fillings and pickles that taste properly made rather than just grated. The crackling pork is a favourite, and one local reckons it holds up without going soggy. The lemongrass beef banh mi and the pate also get a mention.
It's often compared with the better-known pork roll shop down the road, and we've heard plenty say it's just as good with a shorter wait. Prices are in line with the neighbours. Counter service can depend on the day. One more thing: the iced Vietnamese coffee has drawn the odd grumble about being heavy on the ice.
You can order takeaway or delivery, or shop in store, and coffee is on the menu. Payment is easy with cards and tap-and-pay, and there's free street parking and a free car park nearby, which helps in this part of Marrickville. Hours run across the whole week, though it's worth checking before you head in.
