CRAZY DELICIOUS PHO. The best pho I have had in Melbourne. The broth is perfectly beefy, the beef is perfectly beefy, and the noodles are perfectly chewy-yet-soft... and beefy. I love this bowl so much.
Pho with everything: 10/10
My score 3.5 stars (avge of 2 visits). Marks off because some dishes too sweet, plus fresh herbs/peanuts/chilli/shallots seem in short supply (some of our fav Viet flavours/garnishes). J and I had lunch here on Wed 30th Oct. Pleasant and helpful timely service. Free tea. Roomy and airy interior.
J got a Papaya salad with fried tofu ($16) - A generous serve. Plenty of tofu, but a little bit chewy. Topping of peanuts and fried shallots was miniscule. No herbs (mint would have been great). Papaya crunchy and delicious. Dressing of lime and fish sauce a bit sweet. 6 large non-oily prawn crackers were crunchy and nice.
I had Salt and pepper chicken ribs on tomato rice ($11.50) - 5 generous nicely spiced ribs, quite dark/well done, but moist inside (messy to eat though). Nice accompanying pickled carrot/cucumber; plus veggie spice mix (chilli, onion, etc) but not enough of any of it! Tomato rice interesting. Good value, but I’m glad I could have some of J’s salad.
Lunch NYE 2018. Place was clean and quite nice inside. Service was swift, staff lovely. Free tea.
We shared: Prawn spring rolls > Quite good - generous lettuce cups!
Stir fried tofu and veg chilli lemongrass noodles > Noodles a bit chewy, but nice tofu and PLENTY of veg for the non-carnivores - sauce a bit sweet unfortunately and not spicy enough.
Vermicelli salad w fried tofu > Nice amount of crisp tofu, wider vermicelli than normal, really good spicy fish sauce dressing. Downside was too much lettuce and not enough other veg/peanuts, plus NO herbs!
My favourite Vietnamese restaurant of all times. Not exaggerating, every single dish is absolutely delicious! Including the special homemade chilli, I’m obsessed over it, been buying their jars to bring home. Love how every meal goes with pandan tea. Staffs are courteous, service is fast, restaurant is clean, and music is relaxing. Can’t ask for more, deserves a 5 star!
