This is our go-to for pho in the inner east of Brisbane. It is consistently the better option of the few places in neighbouring areas. It did not disappoint when we fulfilled our pho craving there again today. We got the regular pho (there is a "special" version that adds brisket). Beautiful flavoursome broth with paper thin rare beef that wasn't fatty or gristley as we have found in the past at some other places. Served with lemon, bean sprouts and thai basil on the side and a range of condiments to add as you see fit. I also really love the young coconut juice - so refreshing and the right hit of sweetness after the savoury flavours of the pho.
I’ve been meaning to visit Vietnamese Mint in Bulimba since it opened. As you should all know by know, I am an absolute pho-fiend and love trying all there is in Brisbane. And around the world for that matter!. Anyway I heard that Vietnamese Mint had created some pretty funky and interesting salads so I went in to check them out. I ordered both (naturally) and a pho (obviously) and was impressed by all three! The Unicorn noodle salad was chicken based with a traditional vietnamese salad mix but with noodles infused with natural food colouring to make them look just like what a Unicorn would delicately eat before prancing about. The Magic noodel salad (my favourite) was a thai beef salad with noodles infused with Butterfly Pea Flower! They were gorgeous and blue. What I loved most about them, was that while they were fun and beautiful, they both still maintained their authentic, fresh salad flavours.
Good Char Kwe Teow and Seafood Laksa.
Pho was average for a vietnamese restaurant but the two above was cooked to my liking.
ps: if you like spicy, you can request them to cool it with fresh chillies.
THE BEST ICED TEAS
Seriously so in love with the drinks they make.
The food is great too with plenty of options and you can get almost everything vegetarian.
Personally wasn't a fan of the virmicelli noodle salad but my partner loved his.
God I love this place. Their Vermicelli Lemongrass Chicken bowls are so filling and the perfect dish when you're planning on having snacks during a movie next door. Service is always friendly and prices are pretty good for Oxford St. Portion size on "main dishes" can be a little hit and miss but the flavours pack a punch.
I love this place. Nice friendly service, tasty food and good pricing. We always get satay chicken noodles and spring rolls and they never disappoint! 😊
I ordered the Pho and my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Laksa. Very delicious and very filling- great value as they were only $12.95 each!! I actually preferred the Chicken Laksa, it said spicy on the menu but it's a very mild spice. Happy overall.
Possibly the best Vietnamese in Brisbane's eastern suburbs. I wouldn't mind slightly less noodles and a little more broth in their Pho but it's always a great meal. It's also quick and affordable.
Always a good go to if you live locally. Fast, fresh and tasty food. The staff and attentive and the pho is tasty. Definitely a nice addition to the area.
AMAZING FOOD! Nice simple restaurant with delicious salads and ice teas.
Lovely staff and nice vibe. This place is our go to for a good clean affordable eat and family friendly.
We take all our guests here and they all love it.
I really wish they would bring back the Banh Mi that they had when in their last location in Morningside. We used to go every week there. We only go every month or so now due to the lack of Banh Mi. So now we venture further afield.
Good & fast Vietnamese food. The Singapore noodles are delicious. Have been here a few times now and every time has been good. Very friendly staff and it is a cute little place. Can do quite a bit gluten free.
Food was so quick here forgot to take any photos! The salad was fresh, crunchy and not overloaded with soggy vermicelli like a lot can be. Chicken pho was a bit boring, but they had a lychee soda which was so refreshing in the heat.
Amazing Thai and Asian in Bulimba. We had Pho and Laksa and both were full of flavour with perfectly tender meat. Lemon iced tea to wash it down.
I live very close to this place and was a regular when they were in Morningside. They are a fresh addition to what I have found an underwhelming offering on Oxford Street. The Pho always seems to hit the spot. I've always had pretty good service here and it's nice to see young people in business doing well. Congratulations, you've scored a regular in me.
Having eaten at Vietnamese Mint when it was based in Morningside, we were expecting great things, this was compounded by the popularity and queues since it's opening in Bulimba.
Unfortunately the food didn't live up to the hype. The Phở was really very average, the broth was cloudy and not very tasty. There was too many noodles, not enough herbs and not that much beef, the balance was all wrong. The chicken satay stir fry lacked freshness and flavour; it tasted like a generic Asian food court style dish, lacking quality, freshness and flavour.
So disappointing. I really hope they can get it right as the potential there is great and should provide some difference to the usual choices on Oxford street.
Absolutely love this restaurant- have eaten here many times. I really hope that it reopens soon. The vermicelli salad with grilled lemongrass chicken is delicious as are the soups.
A good meal. From all the fantastic reviews on this restaurant that can be found on Urbanspoon, we had to go and try Vietnamese Mint for ourselves!
The prawn rice paper rolls were lovely - full of fresh ingredients and very generously sized rolls. We also ordered the deep fried tofu but was a bit disappointed both with the size of the dish and the size of the tofu cubes. We were expecting semi-hard tofu cubes; the small rectangles of hard tofu lacked flavour and were underwhelming.
The special beef pho had great flavour and was very light, not too salty. However, without the tripe and tendon which is usually found in other special pho bowls around Brisbane, we felt that the dish was missing something.
Overall, a solid meal, with the pho broth in particular being on par with some of the best pho broth we've had in Brisbane.
Always a hit. Have been here quite a few times now and have not once had a bad meal. Favorite is the lemongrass chicken salad and I'm one of those awful people who get heaps of substitutions and it's never a problem! I get cravings for the coconut water with jelly pieces in it mmmm
Best Vietnamese in Brisbane!!. This place has the BEST and freshest Vietnamese food! I highly recommend the Pho, Vietnamese Spring Rolls and Lemon Soda! I come here at least twice a week but could eat here everyday!!
It's so good I eat here on average twice a week. I try to work my way through the menu but the beef pho is just too good. Add some of that special fried chilli and it's unbeatable. So glad I found this place! The owner is a champ too.
Delicious!. Walked straight past it without much heed, though I definitely noticed the tasty aroma from within. Discovered an entertainment book deal and realised it was the same place, so cruised over with hubby to try it out. We had vietnamese spring rolls, spicy beef soup, and honey soy noodles. All were delicious! Spring rolls were light and enjoyable, not heavy/greasy as some tend to be. Spicy beef soup was beatifully flavored, and spicy! Not your standard aussie two-chili menu option that's still mild, so be mindful. Noodles were delicious with just enough bitter leaves to offset it becoming too sweet by the end. Standard meals are $10 ($12 for large) so very reasonable also. Clean and open restaurant, a very nice change to the clutter of many store-arcade eateries as well. All up we were very impressed and would highly recommend!
Great little find!. Tried for the first time last weekend, got the chicken ago rice paper rolls, spring rolls and satay noodles, all so fresh and delicious. Rice paper rolls game with a yummy dipping sauce. we will be back to try the pho!
Great fresh and fast food.. I ordered takeaway last Friday night and was greatly surprised by the great quality of the food.
We had a mix if entrees and dishes,The calamari and Vietnamese springs were good as wall the pork rice paper rolls. we also haf the lemon grass chicken salad, satay chicken and a pho The PHO was exceptional !!!!
Really great little find!. The Coles that this little hole in the wall is next to is my local supermarket so I've been aware of it since it opened a few months ago. Today during lunch I got a hankering for pho for dinner and did a search of Vietnamese in Morningside. Surprisingly, this was the only Vietnamese restaurant for a 3 suburb radius! Buoyed by the exclusively positive reviews, I decided to talk my partner into having it for dinner. We ordered the salt and pepper calamari, vegetarian spring rolls and for my main, spicy chicken soup and for him, spicy beef noodles. When we got home we dug in straight away and were not disappointed! The calamari was hot and crisp, the spring rolls were stuffed full of veggies and so hot and crunchy, not oily at all. My order was incorrect and i got beef, instead of chicken but it was so delicious I really don't care. It was spicy and the noodles were plump, the beef sliced thinly and it was just so yum. I ate the whole thing and it easily could have been two serves. Great value for $12! Boyfriends noodles were also a hit and he ate the lot as well! We're so full right now but happy! Will definitely be back to try the pho and bun!
A great local Vietnamese!. Located up the back of the arcade, I was so happy to find this clean, friendly establishment. We ate heaps - all fresh and well priced! Not a huge menu but has all the popular dishes. I must be honest and say I don't know many other Vietnamese restaurants in this area but now I don't need to. I'll just go here!
Fresh and Tasty. Rice Paper Rolls were yummy and fresh. Staff were friendly. Plenty to choose off the menu.
Found this new noodle shop outside Coles and was so impressed by the cleanliness of the shop / kitchen and lovely service.
Best Pho & Ricepaper rolls I have had in ages.
Will be back soon.
comprises a few entrées (cold rolls, spring rolls etc), some cold noodle salads, a couple of stir fries and of course, phở. You choose from the menu on the wall, order at the counter (small $10, large $12) and take a seat whilst they prepare your eat in or takeaway meal. We’ve enjoyed cold rolls ($6) and small phở (can’t imagine how big a large must be), char kway teo and broken spring roll salad on various occasions and have
Very nice. Pad Thai chicken & chicken & basil. Wonderful. Very friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommend 👌 😋🇻🇳
Had a good time here, honestly it seems more like a “pan-Asian” restaurant than a specifically viet place, but quantities are hearty, ingredients fresh enough, and the staff are accomodating. Pricing is pretty fair - I would come here again!
First visit today, I had Singapore noodles, husband had Satay Chicken.
Servings were very generous, tasteful and delicious.
Very helpful girl who served us, as we requested not too spicy.
Bonus was the green tea in a thermos nice and hot till the end.
Thank you for a delicious lunch, we look forward to a return visit.
Great service, fabulous food - fast and incredible flavours. Highly rate the Seafood Laksa 🌶 🌶 Some Vegetarian and GF options but they’ll adjust the menu where possible 🍃 🌾
Friendly staff, food was super fresh. Pho portion was massive :)
