Really tasty grilled pork rice vermicelli bowl. Pork was grilled perfectly and friendly staff.
Really authentic and fresh soup for the standard pho and tasty chilli beef pho too. Servings were abit small for the price which was on the higher end compared to other phos I’ve had. But worth the try regardless.
The place is a casual restaurant and great for a simple meal
IS this place still open? I just tried placing a phone order and Number is DISCONNECTED??? Why???? Best pho in Glen Waverley, terrible, just terrible
I ordered the bun vermicelli with lemongrass tofu and my friend ordered the com tam aka broken rice and the spicy wings.
Interior of the restaurant is nice, staff are attentive and the food was good.
The bun vermicelli was filling, the noodles and the lemongrass tofu were both cooked to the perfection. I thought that the flavour of the spring rolls had a unique twist to them, making this dish a little special.
Only thing, this dish would need is more sauce and more vegetables. But saying that, I’m sure they would refill your sauce.
Will come back to try more of their dishes someday!
We decided to try the place out today. We got the lemongrass pork vermicelli and the minced pork vermicelli. They came with spring rolls and salad which were presented well and tasted good. The lemongrass pork tasted better than the mince pork. A downside is that we wished they served a bigger portion of meat. We also got the spicy buffalo chicken wings which only came with 2 pieces and salad for $9 so it was expensive and passable.
Flavour, texture and ingredients are perfectly there for what you would look for in a hot bowl of pho.
Young and polite staff.
Will come back to try other food on the menu.
RIP Workshop Bros, will be missed but its replacement is sooo good. Yes it’s marginally more spenny than Springvale restaurants but this is Kingsway, and this is really good quality Vietnamese food. You can tell the conservative number of menu items let them focus on perfecting each one. The pork meatballs are to die for, definitely recommend ordering them.

Only one month open and yet Pho 97 seems to have bedded itself in nicely providing flavoursome Vietnamese dishes with a cool tunes and really friendly waiting staff. The one page menu has a heap of variety and also the odd special of two to help mix it up.
Tonight we started with a classic Vietnamese drink that out waiting staff admitted to growing up with. The three colour drink came with shaved ice, pandan, mung bean and red bean all swimming in a sweet coconut. Like a layered trifle in a cup with some amazing textures going on.
For entree we had the chicken and prawn spring rolls with all the trimmings, the Nem Nuong (Honey glazed pork balls) and the special prawn and pork dumplings in a chilli oil sauce. The absolute standout was the Nem Nuong which was full of flavour and juicy and was amazing wrapped up in lettuce with fresh mint. We had this dish recommended to us and so glad we tried it. I also really loved the chilli oil dumplings which had a satisfying chilli kick.
For mains we just had to try the pho and I chose the rare beef. The biggest of bowls arrived with a medium intensity of flavoured broth, shoots, basil, plus fresh chilli and lemon juice which I gladly added. I slurped this amazing dish up but it was so big I couldn’t finish it.
The lemon chicken bun bowl had amazing lemongrass flavoured chicken, vermicelli, fried shallots, fresh veggies and peanuts and the pour over sauce packed good flavour also. I only got to try a little of this as my wife took ownership of the dish and declared this her favourite. I’m sure she will be back for this dish in the future.
Our last main was a goodie also. The salt and pepper crumbled chicken ribs were Pho 97’s fried chicken option and came with fresh salad and red rice which both accompanied the pepper and
chilli coatings on the chicken nicely. Some seriously delicious chicken on this plate.
We really enjoyed the freshness and flavours of the dishes we tried tonight and the kitchen turn around time was impressive especially considering how short a time Pho 97 has been open for. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks so much for inviting us in.
Late Sep: Had a simple takeaway again as the previous experience is really good. Still love them 2nd time around.
Early Sep:We order takeaway and are pleasantly surprised, all food tasted good. Some food may be a bit saltier than my preference, but my friends and family had a wonderful dinner.
This place has all the classic Vietnamese dishes, loved the broken rice, in fact, best one I've had when compared to the others in CBD, Richmond, Springvale. Pork chop cooked over charcoal, a nice touch and different to all the other Vietnamese restaurants. Enjoyed the meal with an awesome ice coffee.
Classic Vietnamese dishes presented with a touch of class. All familiar flavours done very cleanly. Beef pho is meaty, sweet, strong on the herbs and packs a punch. The bun, beef on the skewer lacked smokiness that the charring suggested but the spring rolls were smashing. Taste to price ratio I'd go to Springvale or Richmond still but great for GWave.

This place used to be Workshop Brothers. The interior is still the same. We ordered bun bo hue and prawn and chicken spring rolls. The spring rolls were delicious and piping hot and crispy when they hit the table. They came with some lettuce leaves, mint and pickled carrots so we wrapped them up and dipped them into the sauce and they were delicious. They were $9 for 5 spring rolls which were on the pricey side though. The bun bo hue was very comforting. I have never had it before but the stock soup was well-balanced and very tasty. There was quite a lot of meat and pork trotters and ham - more than the noodles. I would have preferred more noodles than meat though. The pork trotters were really delicious and falling off the bone. It came with really spicy fresh chilli and we asked for chilli oil as well. We had to ask for tea as none had been served but the tea was good tea and fragrant. I will come back and try different dishes next time. Ps: best part is they don’t have extra credit card charges!
Worth the drive!
Tasty food (we had beef pho, broken rice and spring rolls) and killer 3 colour drink! Ratio nailed :) Good looking space!
Will be back :)
Lovely place and nice food. I had Bun Bo Hue, 90% the same to the taste in Vietnam 👍. I will visit this restaurant again next time to try the Pho. When I was there, the aroma of the Pho was so nice and so tempting 😋
Saigon quality Vietnamese food at the heart of glen waverly! So happy to finally have Vietnamese so close to home, defs try the Bum Bo Hue and the Banh Canh Cua !
Newly opened and quickly becoming popular among the locals.. I came here to sample the vermicelli noodle with springroll. There is a selection of either lemon grass chicken/beef/pork grilled meat on stick, tofu or nem nuong (pork glazed pattie). I chose the lemongrass beef to accompany my bowl. It also came with salad and a few springroll pieces. The lemongrass beef was fantastic! For $13.9 lunch, it was refreshing and satisfying. A tiny bit higher in price compared to other vietnamese restaurants; but given the prime location, can’t complain. Service is friendly and reasonably fast. It was a full house at lunch time and my order came within 15mins.

I had a good meal with my friend here last night. Flavour in the pho was nice, and a good serving size too. The spring rolls were good, but I wish we got served more than 5. Also ordered the 3 colour drink (not photographed), which had good flavour too. Staff took a while to serve us, but other than that, overall good experience.
Finally a pho place in Glen Waverley. Menu has a good range to satisfy your cravings of all sorts. Good value for money, delicious pho and viet ice coffee. Will come back to work my way through the other items on the menu... And maybe give the 1kg pho challenge a go :D
Been a couple of times now. It's just what Glen Waverley needs, a Viet eatery! Tasty comfort food. Grabbed a good lunch special today: honey pork viet roll and a strong iced coffee. The broken rice dish was very satisfying too. Thumbs up.
Bloody good pho!!!!
This place was previously workshop Bros. Same owners I was told. Will definitely be back for more.
Pho was delicious, especially when the rare beef is fresh and the texture is more juicy than the thinly sliced ones from Springy. The price is good for the portion and you are satisfied unless you're a big eater. The Buffalo Wings are also packed with flavour and every element on the dish is quite harmonious. Best Pho place thus far at the Glen.
The large pho was indeed large as expected. We ordered the rare beef and received the rare beef with meatball and tripe instead. It was still quite tasty.
We also ordered the lemon chicken vermicelli and it was very tasty but for roughly $14 only had four bite sized pieces of meat in it. Overall I’d come here again and split the pho with a friend again.
Good service. Rare beef Pho soup is good. Space age atmosphere. Nice music!! They new, so one little thing - Vietnamese meals come with tea thermos and the Pho soups should have more on the plate. Im sure they will balance that out. Wifi would be good.
Delicious, freshly cooked, home style Vietnamese food. Good service and reasonably priced. The fresh salad greens and purple cabbage make a delicious addition to the Pho garnish plate!
