I’ve been thinking about this gem @phoqueuepdk ever since my first visit. I’ve had this #bunrieu for the third time and it never disappoints. I’m obsessed with the flavour of this broth! The luxury blend pho is also my favourite. If you are ordering pho, the extra two dollars to upgrade to luxury blend are definitely worth it.
Are you ever tired of Vietnamese food?? While writing up this post, I just realised that we seemed to be eating out in Vietnamese restaurant. I have been to Pho Queue twice and the first visit was to catch up with Simco! He had recently relocated back to Brisbane from Tasmania and it was so nice to meet up with this old friend of mine.
Very very good pho. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. The bowl is massive for 10 bucks. My pho tai has perfect ratio of the amount of noodles and broth, very brothy yum. The wait time was quick and the service was very friendly. Authentic Vietnamese food made by vietnamese family is a plus. Will be coming back. Totally satisfied my pho craving.
I don’t understand why the rating is so low here. It’s a very decent place with great food and nice service. It’s true if you order some special dishes , it may take up to 20-25 minutes to serve but they are really SPECIAL! I will definitely go back and recommend to my friends! 😋
Delicious, will have to visit more than I already have to try different soups on the menu. Can’t go wrong with their Pho, which they have different regional versions of.
Pleasant casual dining with Asian dessert bar & Vietnamese influences. Simple modern interpretation rather than authentic flavours--catering to the local hipster crowds. Enjoyable lunch nevertheless.
Good Vietnamese food
We dropped into this sophisticated looking eatery for dinner on a Friday night. We ordered the com ga nuong (smoked honey lemongrass sesame chicken) and the hu tieu khou (dry noodle with bbq pork, quail egg,prawn and chicken). The chicken was grilled to perfection and the noodles were good although a bit too sweet for my taste. Both dishes were a little short on vegetables, fresh salad ingredients and herbs. We also a couple of desserts from the beautifully presented dessert cabinet. Prices were reasonable and BYO was plus.
Regulars at O’Mai we wanted to try Pho Queue. Yum! Delicious prawn and pork crepe that you can no longer get next door. Sophisticated decor and airconditioned. We’ll be back.
Cafe O Mai and Pho Queue (love those pun names) are located side by side and are owned by the same family. Pho Queue is a bit fancier, opens from lunch through to dinner time, has a glorious open dessert kitchen to sticky beak into and produces some wonderful French desserts. Mr Fork has a preference for Pho Queue because they offer normal washable chopsticks instead of wooden disposable ones, and he prefers to eat with those so we probably frequent Pho Queue slightly more because of that.
This place was pretty cool. Nice fit out. We came in just before lunch. I ordered the banh khot - prawn pancakes - these are the best things I have tasted in a long time. Crunchy pancake, prawn and spring onion- it was soo good. Writing this makes me re-crave a plate full of them.
I also had a chicken banh mi, without sweet chilli and it was also phenomenal. The warm crispy skin on the chicken, in a roll was heaven. Everybody else seemed to really rate their meals too.
One weird thing- We were promptly served however the coffees were made next door and took a while as next door was really busy. I’m more likely to come for dinner and byo to be honest it wasn’t a big deal.
Will I be back? As long as those prawn pancakes are there, oh yeah I will!
