Best Vietnamese I've ever had. The price of their dishes are such good value for money. The beef pho is the best I've ever tried and BYO license makes it a great place for a quick dinner with friends before heading out.
Food: One of my favourite places to eat a bowl of delicious bun. (This place refers to it as ‘Vermicelli’ though.) Pho is average.
Decor: Furnished rather plainly, but as a regular, I don’t pay much attention to my surroundings when I’m devouring my bun!
Letdowns: Not a fan of their spring rolls. I’d avoid them.
Absolutely love this place. The chicken pho is amazing, true to the Vietnamese style with chicken breast and full of flavour. The BBQ pork, chicken ribs and curry puffs are also on regular rotation for us and never disappoint.
What a delicious experience!! We ordered the fried tofu and spring rolls for entree, a lemon drink, ginger prawns with noodles and beef pho and a banana fritter each and the whole bill came to $66! The food was simply divine! The service is however where I have to mark down a little, had to ask for water twice, had to wave them down for desserts and they kept trying to take our plates away before we were finished but there was no huge problems and I will definitely return again, the prawns were to die for!
I had the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle @ $13)
The broth was so good, not too salty, delicate, and rich in flavour.
Meat and noodles were amazing too, good texture and not over cooked.
HOWEVER, the beef was very dry and had no flavour, bit of a let down but would still come back for seconds :)
Service was 3/5 as they did get our order wrong, gave us small instead medium pho even though the server had confirmed the order, and to fix the issue they just poured the small pho into a medium bowl? With no extra noodle or meat
This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Melbourne! Even when I was in Southeast Asia I was craving the food here at Pho Kha Tran! I live 30 minutes away from this restaurant but I still come here at least once a week because I love it.
Service was excellent, food came out fast and was delicious. Our table ate the spring rolls, crispy chicken bun and salt and spicy squid. No complaints, everyone leaving happy and full.
Pho is quiet big in portion. Sweet broth, decent amount of meat, balls and noodles.
Crispy noodles has a generous amount of toppings. The sauce is just enough to make the noodles soft yet keep the noodles crispy.
Ambience wise, quite noisy as the staff were having a meal.
Chicken Pho was spot on and pork rice paper rolls were delicious. Not the best customer service but nothing less than what you'd expect in any similar restaurant. Pretty authentic. Definitely would return.
The restaurant is clean and wait staff friendly. We arrived early at 5pm and the place is busy with regulars. We had the XO sauce fried rice, Chinese broccoli pork and chicken special, tomato fried rice with lemon grass chicken and standard beef and beef ball pho. All were pretty good and flavoursome. A great alternative to the usual around Melbourne suburbs for Vietnamese food; will be back!
Nice and comfortable seating for a bowl of pho, not too crowded which is great 😊
Orders prawn and pork pho & vermicelli with springroll and roasted pork, both tasted yummy!
Quick service, lots of free parking next to it, lots of food selection, will revisit 😋
Best Pho & bun Bo Hué broth this side of Vic
Friendly staff, awesome food, fast service and relaxing environment.
We have been eating at Pho Kha Tran for a couple of years and the food is always consistently good and the restaurant is very clean. Their Beef Pho is one of the best in the area and one of us always orders it... They also have the most amazing home made dim sims which are so good we actually buy a couple of dozen frozen to take home to stash in the freezer... Crispy noodles are also delicious... Highly recommended... 😋
