Two years since our last meal here so it is time to update my review. Phuong Tran and I visit for lunch and our orders are ready in 15 minutes.
Combination Pho (Dac Biet) is served steaming hot. The Beef broth is good, pho noodles silky smooth and I see a generous serve of sliced Beef and Offal. The Spring Rolls are served hot from the deep fryer. Overall, a good lunch. Thank you guys!
I ordered the crispy chicken with rice for my kids and the only regret was I didnt order more! It was so good.. very juice yet still crispy when it arrived at home.
The dry noodles need to be mentioned too... we had with garlic pepper steak, where have you been all these times! Steak was juicy... served a clear soup to compliment the noodle and it was perfect match. It was a perfect #isodinner for us! Would definitely be ordering from you again. 😍
This local Vietnamese restaurant is one of our regulars. My favourite dishes here are pho, spring rolls and the combination broken rice. Service is generally very quick and friendly.
Definitely have to try their combination broken rice!!! This was my first time to try this dish. It’s a rice dish with grilled pork, thinly cut skin pork with shredded pork, fried egg, meat cake (not sure how to call it) and pickled veggies. All the dishes were mouthwatering, especially the grilled pork.
Outstanding food for the price. Fresh and delicious, where the standard continues to be good. Why my family continues to dine here. Recommend.

Did not realise that I have not been back to this Vietnamese restaurant for two and half years. Remember I had the Special Beef Soup (Pho Dac Biet) at my first visit, which was impressive. This time, we chose to have something change so we ordered the Crab Paste Tomato with Vermicelli (Bun Rieu Cua), Spicy Beef Soup (Bun Bo Hue) and Spring Rolls (Cha Gio). Both soup came in first to our tables. Although we particularly asked to have the Bun Bo Hue without shallots and onions on top of the bowl, it did not affect its spicy taste. Loved the ingredient, particularly the noodles. The taste just reminded us about the time at Hue in Oct. last year...so authentic. The other bowl of crab paste tomato vermicelli demonstrated its own flavour. the soup was clear but tasteful and the ingredients were generous. Following the soup came to the table was the freshly made Spring Rolls, which were crispy and I loved them using the vermicelli as one of the ingredients. While we were having the dinner, we noticed that pictures of meals on the wall were very beautiful and they were also indicated with their corresponding numbers ad showed on the menu...so clever. One more thing to mention, if you are fans of fresh sugarcane juice, they are served in this restaurant too!

This restaurant has been there for a while, I saw their opening and extension but only find time to visit on today's lunchtime. It is my habit to order the Special Beef Noodles soup for tasting the Vietnamese restaurant whichever I have not tasted before at the first visit. Set-ups in this restaurant are comfortable and spacious. The veg plate of herbs and bean sprouts are fresh and in reasonable quantities. I was impressed with the slices of raw beef on the top of my noodles which was definitely what I expected. Other ingredients of beef ball, beef tendon so, stripe and beef brisket were plenty. Importantly, soup base was so close to the renowned food outlet that I had in Hanoi last April.
They have changed to a slightly smaller sized bowl for medium pho. Taste is still good as usual with soup based just enough taste and strength.
The grilled pork with dried noodle is incredible, friendly service and really good food, I will definitely re attend as soon as I can, my wife loves it too
Food is served fresh and hot in 10 minutes. Friendly staff. I drive half an hour to get there, wt least teice a week. Eat like a king for cheap!
Our new favourite place for dinner! Great quality, extremely quick service and very affordable!! We usually spend $80 on 4 adults and a 4 year old who is obsessed with the dry noodles. We have started eating here at least once a month now
When we walked into this tiny restaurant we were overjoyed to see that the proprietor was the same guy who used to run one of our favourite Vietnamese restaurants in Darra (we stopped going there when it changed hands). The food was just as good as we remembered - lovely delicious flavours and very good value. It's also one of the few places in Brisbane that serves bun rieu - crab tomato noodle soup. Yum!!!
The chicken pho here was one of the most flavoursome I ever had in Brisbane. The soup had a hint of sweetness that comes with an authentically made chicken broth, which is quite rare to come by these days. The servings are pretty generous as well and the service was quick. I would definitely recommend coming here for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Pho Sai Gon is a Vietnamese eatery at Pacific Centre. The simple and clean restaurant is now well-established in Sunnybank Hills and has been a Tomcat family favorite for many years. We were there for weekend dinner and ordered: pho dac biet (special beef noodle soup) and bun thjt nurong cha gio (rice vermicelli with grilled pork and spring roll).
Pho dac biet consist thin sliced raw beef, brisket, beef balls, tripe, tendon & onion. First taste of the soup and I was overwhelmed by the intensely beefy and bold flavours. Paired with the perfectly cooked flat rice noodle and tender beef cuts, it is hard not to put a smile on your face. Minor disappointment was the slight saltiness of the soup base compared to previous visits. 4/5
Rice vermicelli came next with grilled sliced pork, spring roll and shredded veggies. Mixed together with the provided fish based sauce you have a refreshing bowl of happiness with a flavour punch. The pre-marinated pork was sweet with hints of chargrill flavours. Spring rolls contained decent amount of carrot and minced pork fillings. Combined with the fresh veggies and perfectly cooked vermicelli, I was taken to comfort food territory. Bravo! 4.5/5
Hint: Their freshly made sugar cane drink (full ice) comes highly recommended. Broken rice dishes tried so far is a 3.5/5 on average.
Being an indecisive person, it took me a long time to figure what I felt like for dinner. Since Sai Gon was near where I live, thought it was a good idea to revisit the eatery :)
Beef Pho is my go-to on their menu. The portion sizes are good and the flavours are tasty. The food always comes out quick and hot. Staff are attentive and friendly!
Perhaps on my next visit, I should venture out of the 'Pho' section and try their Vermicelli or Rice Paper Rolls instead :)
I always go here for their beef pho. Delicious as always. Staff are fast and very helpful. There is also a water/tea station in the corner of the restaurant which you can help to yourself. Can be busy at times but the food is worth it.
Pretty nice place for Pho noodles! Portions sizes are quite big! I enjot their freshly grinded sugar cane juices!! :) Surley you'll enjoy a meal from here. The atmosphere is more of a small and cosy dine-in, but the good food speaks for itself.
Have been going here for years and travel from Northside just to have the Pho. Always fresh, well balanced and flavoursome. Can never fault the food and take friends here who continue to frequent Pho Sai Gon.
Still one of my favourite Vietnamese joints for good pho, bun and springrolls. Good value meals and service is always responsive and friendly.
the best spring rolls around,not too dry a tiny bit moist juicie and crunchie.all the dishes are of a generous serving.service always quick.The meals are delicious and filling.Prices are extremely fair.You want to try authentic vietnamese for the first time go here.Good tasting honest food that warms the soul.
these guys make the best bun bo hue, The big fella is also more than happy to swap the dish around as i ask because i prefer the flat rice noodle instead of the round noodle and chicken instead of beef. (Grilled Chicken on the side)
If you ever want to try great Vietnamese food then you have to give this place a go
I went here for a quick lunch through a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I had the classic beef pho and it was delicious but even ordering the small ($10) there was no way I could finish it.
The service was quick and friendly and the time from ordering to getting our food was at the most three minutes! I can't wait to go again and try more of the menu.
The decor is simple with indoor and outdoor seating available. Service is quick. Decent range of Vietnamese food, soups can sometimes be a little too salty though. The Cubed dice beef with rice is delicious as is the broken rice with egg, shredded pork and pork chop.
My favourite Pho restaurant in southside. The pho & spicy beef noodle soup are delicious. Prices are reasonable & if you dine late its even cheaper.
Crispy Chicken Rice. Perfect crispness that I never get tired of ordering again and again
Excellent cheap food. Great pho and friendly staff. Have found my new Favourite Vietnamese restaurant
Authentic Flavouring. Dingy looking place but Authentic pho and bun bo hue broth. Fast and cheap too
Regular Customer Here. I absolutely LOVE the Grilled Chicken Dry Noodles. The serving sizes are extremely generous and the taste is superb, every time. The service is also quite fast. You really get your money's worth here.
The atmosphere is average, but then again, this is one of the places you'd go for kick-ass food, so it really doesn't matter.
What a great find. The food was spot on with flavour and the service was very friendly.
Fast and yummy. We have been here a few times now and it is always yummy. Crispy skin chicken is divine. Fresh rice paper rolls are yummy.
Happy staff and very quick service.
We go out of our way to eat here when we drive to Brisbane.
Pho Sai Gon is small and doesnt look really special. But the food there is delicious. I had the Lemongrass chicken (think its number 24) and to be honest: this is one of my favourite dishes compared to all the other food and restaurants around calamvale. The portions are really big and the taste is authentic. And for 10 dollar it is a really cheap meal. I can just recommend it.

+4.5
This place has no MSG and always dont feel that "thirst" after eating there. Small little run-down feel to the place, but good pho. I rate it 6/10
Will be back. Great pho, quick service, good value for money
Had a great lunch here yesterday. The pho is the best I have had in Brisbane. Service was also great and friendly.
Great Pho! I go often with friends, always quick service!
Fast, friendly & PHObulous. What I like about this place:
- Great, tasty pho and bun
- Everything on the menu is 10 buckeroonies and comes out in massive bowls
- Service: quick and efficient from the friendly operators
Wonderful Pho. Just to shit-stir I have a friend who pronounces this wonderful soup "poo", however the example made at this establishment is anything but. The soup has great body, clarity and flavour and they aren't mean with the condiments. Just about the perfect lunch especially when washed down with an iced milk coffee, sitting outside in the shade with a gentle Easter breeze wafting past every so often ... why are you people located so far from the city ?!?! **shakes fist at God**
Equal best!. I am a huuuuggee pho fan... pho-natic? My favourite has always been Hien Vuong at Sunnybank Market Square, I am often reluctant to try different pho places because I know I will be disappointed - and I usually am. Eventually my partner convinced me to try this place based solely on the excellent Urbanspoon rating... I trust Urbanspoon, so we did!
Wow! I was not disappointed, it was equal if very slightly better than Hien Vuong, which is the biggest props I can give any pho place. The broth is what makes a good pho for me and the broth here is spectacular, I would find it indistinguishable from Hien Vuong but the beef (I get rare beef) was in slightly nicer pieces than the beef at Hien Vuong. We also tried the spring rolls, these were very good, quite oily but yummy. I definitely recommend this place, the service was probably a bit nicer than at Hien Vuong but I don't expect service from Vietnamese restaurants, just delicious soup and bottomless tea.
Closest you'll get to Vietnam. My mum (who is vietnamese, AND visits vietnam on an annual basis) loves this place. The pho is solid and the closest you will get in Brisbane to pho in Vietnam guarenteed. It's quick and cheap and the owner is friendly. Rumours are true, he came from a restuarant in Darra (our old favourite place - we followed him all the way to Sunnybank Hills). His dad used to own pho restuarants back in the day. This pho is legit!
NO REGRETS!. Want viet but dont want to go to the darra or inala hood! Here is it. Affordable! Tasty! Simple! Fast! Clean!
Rumours are that the boss has made a move from Inala to S/B hills. No doubt that this place is here to stay. From the time they open.. they have expanded adding more seats to the dining area to cater for the popular demand.
Everything is pretty much round figures at 10 bucks or you can order some sides for 6.
My usual order is the spicy pho and some extra fried chicken. Rather delicious and filling for a young lady but may need more for a bloke with an appetite. Staff is friendly and tends to your needs.
A must try if your in the area!
Authentic Vietnamese. I have tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Brisbane (Inala, Darra, West End) and this one is the most authentic. You are not going to get any better Pho soup elsewhere!
Garlic Pepper Steak Rice. Best garlic pepper steak I've never had.
Aside from being disappointed by the long waiting time, it was a fairly positive experience. I'd like to go back to Pho Sai Gon to try their other food.
sugar cane juice was amazing! but my tofu banh mi was a huge let dowbn. had a few bites and didnt eat anymore because it tasted extremely ordinary. the sauce tasted not great, tofu had no good flavour...
Amazing food. Very friendly service. Freshly squeezed sugar cane juice. Highly recommended
Took my partner out for dinner date tonight and both first timers at Pho Sai Gon and everything we ordered was so so DELICIOUS!!! 🤤 it’s a MUST TRY if your south side.
We Ordered & demolished :
- Egg Noodle Soup w/Lemongrass chicken on the side
- Pho Tai/Beef noodle soup with sliced Beef
- side dish of Crispy Skin Chicken &
- Spring Rolls
Big portion sizes good for your coin $$ & the BROTH was so yum! 😋 This place knows there food! Finally a good Vietnamese joint to go back to. 👌🏽
Always delicious food. I've had their Pho, Bun Bo Hue and Vermicilli with Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls. Portion sizes are great and food is always delicious. Only downside is that they've drastically increased their prices. Always my favourite place to go
We ordered the grilled porkchop with broken rice via Ubereats and it was delicious! My husband said it was the best pork chop he's ever had. It was tender and the flavours were super tasty. Will definitely be ordering from here again.
Been here since they first open and when they changed owners. The food is still nice both Pho and Bun Bo Hue are still great choices. However the price has gone up a lot. Compared to other Viet place it is on the higher end.
Even though I live around this restaurant, I even did not notice there was restaurant back side of this building. I do not understand why they do not have signboards?!
I randomly found this restaurant while I was web surfing. I had egg noodle with chicken and my partner had rice noodle with lemongrass chicken.
Noodles were not that extraordinary but just okay.
But chickens were so nice!! Besides price was too good!! I will definitely visit here again and explore other food. I was a little bit worried about old lady who got a lot of negative reviews but thankfully boss(male) served me and he was too good
One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. Always like their crab meat tomato soup , homemade ice lemon tea. The new dish, Sai Gon crisp chicken with rice, yummy!!!The chicken is crisp, tender and juicy. Very recommended !
