I like Nha tranh but there's a couple of things they could do better. The phō is my go to. The broth is nice and beefy but the actual levels of beef could be better. There's not as much meat in there as I've had at other places and it's over cooked most times too. If they sliced it a bit thinner and put it in raw it would be a lot better, but it's still good. They should also do a phō with the lot IE rare beef, meatballs, tripe and tendon coz that's my favourite style and it's not on their menu.
We've been here a couple of times and the summer rolls, plump with vermicelli, lettuce, mint, prawn and pork are always fresh and tasty, served with a delicious plum sauce. The grilled chicken fillet, fragrant with lemongrass is served with salad and pickles, but on our visit, was missing the homemade fish sauce accompaniment advertised in the menu.
While the food is nice, be prepared to be slugged for all the "extras" - rice is $2.50 per serve, and even extra lettuce will set you back $2. I find this a bit miserly, and quickly adds up on the bill. Maybe we should have requested a $2 discount for the missing sauce from our chicken dish!
We ordered Saigon vegeterian crispy crepe and combination wonton soup (they add more vegie :) ). We also had Nha Tranh pork ribs. OMG, its really yummy (i forgot to take photo :( ). My husband really doesnt like much the asian sauce (especially hoishin), but he really enjoyed the sauce for rice paper rolls (or they call summner roll). Next time, we will order Caramelised prawn and tamarind fish soup. Definitely we will come back.
P.S: they also have BYO. And the boss told me that they can make catering for the meeting and organise for small party. (Good idea for my birthday)
