Yen Linh is famed locally for excellent Viet food, not limited only to pho and Viet sandwiches, and I confirm the rumours. Clearly fresh ingredients, excellent presentation, good value, fair prices, clean interior design, and swift service all round out the experience.

As always, the food first: I've had pho everywhere with the high expectation of clear broth, true natural quality, no artificial anything to masque its natural flavor, super fresh sprouts and lime and mint (not basil) leaves on the side, freshly cut beef, al-dente noodles, and perfectly clean wares. Yen Linh met all traits. I especially appreciated the speed with which it comes out because the timely freshness from putting the beef into the hot just boiling broth is a key determinant in pho's goodness. Carry-out pho is a serious no-no unless all ingredients are separately packaged which is wastefully unenvironmental, so always have it in-house. Competitive Viet restaurants abound nearby but I found Yen Linh first upon recommend so I stay.

Alcohol is available, an assortment of Western and Eastern beers. Interior design is sparse with simple tables and chairs, namely the thinner laminate kind, but no worries. Next time I'll report on the sandwiches and fried goods, another major realm of Viet cuisine in Adelaide to say nothing about the menu's many seafood dishes. Service is quick and attentive with the whole family of presumably one related to the owner chipping into make it all work quickly. While I went at non-peak hours intra-day, they act quickly enough to be confident in their handling evening rush. Didn't use restrooms or ask for other amenities like high chair, booster seat, etc. Billing is customary, no cash only rules, TV is there as background accompaniment. Neighbors are typical suburbaney strip mall-like handling, parking is easy afront mere meters from the door, and carry-out is available for all items.
