The clearest broth in Sydney can be found here at Pho Phung. A hidden Pho gem that has been in Cabramatta for many years (probably over 20). Also great if you don't like coriander :D. Their sate that you get on the table is quite delicious and adds to most of the dishes here - do give this place a try.
The pho here is delicious. Broth is dark and rich in flavour whilst being so clear. I enjoy coming here when I’m feeling like a pho that is rich and heavier in flavour. Service is also really fast!

My regular Pho restaurant
Pho Phung is a Vietnamese restaurant offering a variety of noodles served quickly and piping hot if its a soup dish. It is located at the top of the shopping strip of John Street, Cabramatta.
I don't often walk up to this end of John Street, unless I eat at Pho Phung or Tan Viet (personally my favourite place for crispy chicken). This is the only place I enjoy a consistently good bowl of Pho. I've tried many places and no place satisfies my appetite than this place does. The restaurant has been recently renovated from green outdated furniture to more modern furnishings with different shades of brown.
I always order the same thing without fail as Pho is what they do best. I ordered a large bowl of Special beef noodle soup with a lemon soda drink. You can also order a regular sized bowl and just beef Pho. Each bowl of Pho comes with a side of bean sprouts with a variety of Asian mint and lemon. I don't eat the mint nor use the lemon so I requested not to receive them and to have my sprouts cooked.
It wasn't long after placing the order that I received my food. An advantage of eating at Cabramatta is that its fresh and quick, great for people who are time poor. My Pho came out piping hot and was topped with sliced onion and shallots. The broth did not have a layer of oil which I had experienced once and wasn't impressed. My Special beef Pho came with thin rice noodles, a slice of sausage, beef balls, tendon, tripe, sliced beef and fatty sliced beef that was soft and yummy. The broth had the right balance of flavours and was next level yum when chilli sauce and hoisin sauce were added. I always put the bean sprouts in my bowl pushing it to the bottom to further cook.
There is often a jug of complimentary tea, a box of tissues, cutlery and condiments on the table for you to customize the taste of your meal. It takes up half the table but necessary.
Not many places make nice lemon soda drinks and this is one restaurant that does. It was slightly tangy, sweet and refreshing. A nice way to cool the spice in my mouth from the chilli.
Verdict: Order the Special beef Pho if you are more adventurous and lemon soda drink. I'm definitely coming back.
Came here because Pho Tau Bay was closed and was pleasantly surprised. I always have the special beef noodle soup and the broth was tasty (without being overly MSG-ed). Noodles were smooth and there was a good selection of meat. My only gripe is there isn't enough meat and servings were on the small side. But otherwise, I was content
My draft review of this place got deleted with the latest app update so going off my memory......
I came for lunch and there is no menu,you just order off the wall!
My fiancé beef pho,she thought it was great,the cut the beef into thin slices and she liked it this way
My broken rice combination was good quality,good size pork chop but the pork floss was a bit cold as if they just took it out of the fridge
My main gripe was the jackfruit shake. Tasted sweet,the way I like it by the way but they need a new blender as I could not suck up the shake thru a straw. There was small chunks of ice in there and it made it hard to drink
Apart from this we were both quite satisfied with our meals
As you can tell this restaurant specialty is Pho. I had rare beef and beef balls and the flavour was really nice plus the soup was so clear. The only downside is that they did not have a menu for me to look through all their other food
I love this place , rarely go to other places. Heavily msg . Cheap, $10 per bowl . Customer service is great and noddles have a very particular taste 👌👌
Fresh, delicious, cheap Vietnamese food. Interior is basic, but the food definitely makes up for this. I had the pork and spring roll vermicelli salad which was nicer than more expensive ones I've have had in the city centre.
Another pho joint in Cabramatta? How does it rate in comparison to some of the best pho shops in little Vietnam?.
Pho Phung slid its door open a few years ago in Cabramatta, probably the most competitive pho scene in Australia; Pho Tau Bay, Pho 54, Pho Ann, Pho Minh, Pho Thien Loi… the list goes on and on.
I typically order beef and beef ball, as the combination of lean beef slices and the firmness of the ball complement each other very well. Oyster and chilli sauces are obligatory dips for me, although your mileage may vary. I always add in sprouts and copious amount of squeezed lemon (careful not to drop any seeds in as it will make the soup bitter). There’s a good balance of noodles, vegetables and beef.
