Great food at great prices
Will definitely go again
Best Vietnamese food anywhere in the area! Consistently high quality
Quick and friendly service, easy to order and food is delicious! Favorite local cheap eat!
Best pho in eastern suburbs!
Don't be filled by the mediocre rating, I'm not sure how it's lower than the other pho place at boxhill
One of the best pho places around and it's usually quite busy. We always choose the rare beef pho which comes in small, medium or large. The broth is so flavoursome and the beef is in nice thin slices. The pickled onion on the table makes it even better.
When in Box Hill, this is the only place for delicious pho and impressive bun bo hue. Their silky smooth pho noodles swim in broth with a low MSG count. Their ingredients are always very generous in portions and service is very good. The highlight for me though is their bun bo hue...that addictive spicy soup ladened with lemongrass is just too good!
Pho Huong Viet is a great vietnamese restaurant in Boxhill. Generous sized bowls at reasonable prices. The pho was delicious and would recommend!. Essentials for Pho. Pho Chicken and Beef Combination (small) $10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!. A very clean and fragrant broth. Tender pieces of meat. Delicious! ★★★★
Pretty good pho. It's in an area that is mainly renowned for Chinese food so pho is almost the odd one out. I go the spring rolls and special beef combo, this consists of offel, tripe and other off cuts. Soup is good, delicious and cheap.
If you’re really craving Vietnamese and you stay in Box Hill - this would be a convenient spot to check out which is located super close to Box Hill Central. The pho came out pretty quickly, had to wait a bit longer for the pancake but that is normal for that dish!
The pho here is one of my favourites and it is good value for money. The food always comes out fast too. The staff are polite and there’s lots of seating.
Food 4/5
Service 3/5
Environment 3/5
In this restaurant, the Pho is taste different than others in Vietnam areas such as Richmond or footscary, very valuable. A lot of beef on the top and the soup not like the others taste sweet, their soup like Chinese beef soup, the spicy flavor so strong and feel perfect as well.
The lemongrass pork taste good as well.
Had the beef and beef ball pho. Condiments including fresh chilli were already on the table, and the waiter came out with the obligatory bean sprouts and Vietnamese mint with lemon. The broth was a nice complex flavour and the sliced beef tender.
The prawn and pork rice paper rolls weren't great - the stuffing was quite dry.
I'd go again for the pho though that's for sure.
Super happy with our meal here. My lemongrass pork vermicelli was delicious and meat was well cooked, flavoured and very tender. Pho soup base was great and a very generous serving size! The place felt very clean compared to many other Vietnamese restaurants and service was fantastic. Would definitely come back. It is up there as a great local joint in Box Hill!
It’s the best pho in Mel! I think the rate is too low to match the food and the service here! I don’t know why it’s rate is so low... I have tried a lot of pho but I think it is the best over Melbourne!
Consistently high quality pho and other Vietnamese favourites. This is the only Vietnamese restaurant outside of Springvale, Richmond, or Footscray that I frequent. The pho here beats quite a few offerings in the more predominantly Vietnamese suburbs. Highly recommended!
This is my favourite pho restaurant in Melbourne. Great for no carb diet too if you have cravings on the beef pho flavours. Good papaya salad and the traditional Vietnamese street food selections.

Could this be the new 'best pho shop in Box Hill'? It has a lot going for it, that's pho sho!
Entering through a sneaky side section, we were worried we'd not get a seat - until the lovely friendly-and-smiling man invited us through to a whole other space out the back. Our youngest gleefully said 'closer to the kitchen!'. Before we knew it another smiling face, this one I would come to know as the 'lady with the beautiful-genuine smile' gave us our menus. So much more than pho on offer, but pho was why we came. Three sizes of bowl, small, medium and large. First to drinks, a thermos of good tea already on the table (along with chopped chunks of fresh chilli, slices of white onion, fish sauce, chilli sauce, hoisin and chilli oil/paste, tissues, cutlery (giant spoons) and chopsticks. We ordered some extra drinks and they came quickly.
We glaced up regularly to see staff carrying trays, trays and more trays of delicious food - most of it pho, to a restaurant of loud and happy diners. I quite liked the 'scuse me' call as the 'beautiful-genuine' smile and others, navigated around little kids, the elderly and other servers.
She checked on us at every pass, until we confirmed we were ready. Order taken, it seemed like less than a handful of minutes and our steaming bowls of aromatic pho arrived - and a couple of other treats.
We quickly realised that a 'large' here is more than we can handle, conceding we'd not finish, and perhaps an individual serve of medium will suffice in future. The broth, scented so wonderfully is not clear as many pho broths are, but the flavour, the hints of spice and meaty goodness was all there. Plenty, plenty of meat too. Sadly we order pretty plainly, no 'adventure' in beef pizzle at our table. Rare beef, beef and beef ball, rare beef and brisket and a beef and chicken combo. Lots of gorgeous herbage, bean shoots, lemon and the assorted extras mentioned earlier, we were free to build our own. I was sad when I knew I could eat no more. The rare beef was delicious though, and the little condiment bowls on the side ensured no -one fought over condiments.
Bo la lot was good, Hanoi spring rolls ditto, but it's the pho - and the service that call us back.
Pho is fast and tasty. Portion sizes of the other dishes are larger than expected. In particular the grilled chicken. Great place to go if you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food in box hill. Ambience isn't as good as its competitors on carrington,
Thus place is good to have light and healthy meal. It was quite busy. We ordered spring roll and rice noodle soup. Soup was amazing and spring roll make me feel healthy. But waiting staffs do not have good knowledge for their food. Rather than that this is great place for lunch.
The pho here is definitely one of the better ones around town. Viet pho is everywhere, but I found that you get more meat compared to places closer to the city. It is generous and the prices are similiar to over in Springvale. Around $12 for a medium bowl.
I don't like getting a large bowl at Viet places since they overload the soup usually. By the time you are halfway it has cooled down due to the larger surface area exposed from the larger bowl. Medium I find stays hotter bit longer.
The quality of the beef is very good. They are not too thinly sliced and well sized. In terms of service you got to call them over by making your presence known!
This is becoming one of my regular Pho restaurants. Not as good as the ones in Richmond, but still good standard in the outer eastern suburbs. I had the large beef special Pho for $13. Large proportion and the noodles were smooth and soft. Broth was boiling hot and tastes authentic. Staff will get you seated quickly and the food was out in a flash.
It's our family favourite place for pho, the broth is really good! Their beef lemongrass salad and springrolls are to die for!
Service is reasonable, however I found the place needs to be spruced up a little bit, floor is quite greasy.
Enjoyed the pho and the beef here, as well as the vietnamese pancakes. Have been here a few times. Quite tasty broth and generous portion, good value. The vietnamese coffee is nice also here.
I've been here a few times and they recently moved down a few shops to the other side of Whitehorse Road. You order from a chit sheet and once you have finished, you need to ring the bell and a staff will come and collect your paper.
The pho here is really nice, with authentic vietnamese quality. The broth is spot on, nice and sweet with big portions. Adding some of the condiments they had made the pho even better, a bit of chilli to spicen the soup up and pickled onion to add some sweet and sourness.
The ice vietnamese white coffee is relatively small but suits my taste.
Highly recommend this place, which serve high quality pho at a reasonable price.
Friendly staff, Super quick service, recommend special beef combination
Vietnamese techno doof doof in the kitchen, can't go wrong
Eat your heart out
We've eaten here a couple of times - I had the chicken pho the first time and the stir fried Mongolian chicken noddles the other time. Both dishes were tasty, rich in flavour with plenty of vegetables. They also have one of those menus you could get lost in if you're not careful with a great variety of Vietnamese as well as other Asian dishes.
Also serves a handful of different types of beer and wine.

I went here today for lunch. I went here years ago when it was in the old location and I remember I wasn't impressed with the broth, there was also a really annoying winger of a child and his grandmother didn't tell him to shut his mouth. Luckily today there were nice children, one even held the door open for me. Today I ordered the beef and tendon pho 🍲. I tried the broth and it was tasty and interesting because the star anise really stood out. I enjoyed the soup and I thought the tendon was nice and soft but the beef was a bit chewy. I was a bit disappointed when my table didn't have all the condiments I had to borrow sauce from another table and I didn't realise they had pickled onion, I don't normally like pickled onion but I like a little bit in my pho. I also ordered a 3 coloured drink 🍹 but they had run out, that's ok because straight after ordering it I realised I wanted to watch my diet and save a few dollars but I would've been disappointed if I was craving 3 coloured drink. The interior looked nice, it didn't look tacky like some other pho places I've been to and the staff here were nice. The staff were apologetic when I told them my table didn't have all the condiments. I'll probably bring my friends back to try it and see what they think. I didn't take a photo because I forgot my phone, maybe next time.
Thought we'd try this place again in its new location. We had a very good dining experience. My partner had beef pho, which he enjoyed (and he's super fussy). I had a papaya salad, which can be a bit of a risky selection, but I was very happy with dish. Thankfully, I love chili, as it was quite hot, and I was hoping to share some of it with my toddler. Very fresh and flavoursome. The new location looks good. Service fast and friendly. We'll return if we're looking for Vietnamese in Box Hill.
Since this place moved to its current location, the quality of the food has been amazing!! Esp the Singapore chilly soft shell crab!! What a fabulous idea!! For the last meal we had there, the food was as good as any that we had in Vietnam. Keep up the quality please, this is our favourite weekly meal joint atm.
Fabulous food, polite friendly service. Everthing fresh and beautifully cooked. Highly recommend the 109 prawns on eggplant with sichuan sauce! My husband and daughter had pad thai, great balance of noodles veg and meat, very tasty. Dont expect tables to be cleared promptly, they are incredibly busy. Excellent value for quality food. We'll be going back!
NOT AS GOOD AFTER THE RENOVATION!
This used to be my favourite pho place until they had a renovation. I was very disappointed when yesterday I tried their beef and beef ball pho and it tasted different. Their broth used to be delicious and their noodles used to be amazing but now the broth taste different and not as good. Their pork with broken rice is not as good anymore as the rice is not even broken and they reduced the amount they gave to us. After the renovation all the prices have gone up but the standard of food has gone down. Very disappointed and wish they didn't have the renovation but the food is still decent but not as good.
UPDATE 20/12/2016
New location, new and improved everything .......
Went by to check out the new location, apart from the confusing entrance all are on song.
Better service, better interior, better set up and most importantly much better food.
It seems that there are more on the Menu and not just Vietnamese Pho noodle soup, got a bit of Thai, Indonesian/Malaysian, etc.
Taste are on the upside for the price that they are charging, around $10/meal.
Keep up the great work.

Not as impressive as the other cousins around Melbourne ....
Correct me if I'm wrong that they are part of the Pho Huong Viet group ...... however this one in particular their Pho soup broth is not like the rest, not as fresh, not quite stale, but just not quite right.
Love this place for Pho, really love the Tom Yum soup! Haven't tried anything else on the menu, but it seems pretty busy all the time, quick service, great place for a quick Asian dish I guess!
Best pho i ever had, love the springroll, rice noodles cake......go there 3 4 times a week
My favourite vietnamese restaurant
Yumyumyumyumyum
Always a good meal here. Well priced and portions are fair. The Pho is standard however always delivers and also the Bun is well above average. The best asset is the hand made rice paper rolls that are fresh and delicious.
Am a regular customer here. I think we need to be fair about expectations when coming to a restaurant like this. In general the food is decent and cheap, and there's always a table available even if you have a large group. The beef pho is nice, the soup has a rich beef flavor and prices are good ($9-11 for rare beef, small medium large). Although the vegetarian one lacks in flavor - I'll never get that again! Customer service is acceptable, staff are not particularly friendly but aren't rude. Overall it's a decent pho place if you're a local.
For craving of pho this is the better one in box hill. Can't compare to establishments in Richmond or Springvale but it will do.
Cheap food. Massive serving. Quick service. Free tea. This is my pho spot in Box Hill! Spring rolls aren't that great though and they have tissue boxes for serviettes which is a little odd...
Clean, fresh and affordable. I have pho every week. Staffs are nice and friendly. you just cant be wrong spending time here. Plan your time to come here as its always busy at peak time (lunch and dinner). Recommended!
My usual order of Pho Special Beef ($9, small) had an incredibly flavoursome soup that boasted a rich beefiness. The spice levels were a bit lower than you’d expect, and I suspect there’s a decent whack of MSG in it as well, but that didn’t change the fact that the broth was delicious. There was a disappointing lack of tripe and sausage, and only half a beef ball, but there was plenty of rare beef and brisket to go around. The overall flavour is noticeably neater than what you get at most pho places, but it was a satisfyingly slurpable bowl of noodles, especially with the spice and tang from a good squeeze of sriracha sauce.
Simple but good. Simple Pho that hits the spot on a cold Melbourne night. Nothing more but very good.
Like their food ,pho is nice in here!
A Standout on the Hill. There is certainly no shortage of restaurants in Box Hill and among Vietnamese cuisine, this restaurant offers outstanding value for exceptional dishes.
So far I have tried a few dishes over 4 visits and will be back to smash through the rest of the menu.
The staff are very friendly and the service is darn quick. Even when I accidently BYO’d beer (despite it being “Wine Only”, they were terrrrrrrifically nice about it, and I got to enjoy some cold brews, which is just awesome with Viet food!!!!
Favorite Dish: Lemon Grass Char grilled pork .... WTF? How do they make it sooooo gooood
Service: Pretty Quick
Staff: Really Nice
Food: Outstanding Flavors
Prices: Outstandingly good value
Authenticity: 5 Chilies out of 5
Coffee: Have not tried yet
Décor: Not bad, Food is too good to notice it anyway
I don't know why this place has bad ratings? Pho is always great; fresh, nice garnishes, reasonably priced. Also consistent service and good drinks selection.
It's OK. I have not had any Pho in Melbourne that has impressed me (apart from Dandelion, but that is expensive!!!). Huong Viet makes a decent Pho - not outstanding, but it is good enough. Portions are generous for what you pay. Do not order the large size because it is large enough to grow a pot plant in. Service is quick, attentive, and courteous. Nothing wrong with this place - I just wish the broth was more flavoursome.
Had fantastic pho here today. Plenty of meat and lots of flavor!
Come here for the best buck of pho in town
Good service and food.Always return there for a nice bowl of pho!
The beef pho at huong viet is really good. The broth is very aromatic and flavoursome. My friends really enjoyed the pho, even drank all the broth. Downside was the chicken beef combination ~ there were over 10 chicken hearts included in my friends pho. The restaurant itself needs a bit of cleaning, floors were extremely slippery for a non rainy day and tables were not cleaned after customers left, staff were just standing and chatting amongst themselves ignoring customer attention.
Holy hell this was an incredible meal! I read on someone else's review that the pho bowls are very big and they like to get a small and a side. Very glad we did get small as a very large bowl came out. We looked around and the medium and large bowls were ginormous! The pho had a rich fragrant smell and taste, and the supplied herbs were fresh. Love love loved it!
