This place is a favourite of mine to walk to on any day of weather. The bun bo hue is a regular order of mine but they offer so much more than broth+rice noodles.
Their snack bo la lot is tops too, imagine a fermented sausage but in lieu of a stomach casing its wrapped in betel leaf and grilled. Aromatic, kinda funky, paired with the decently balanced of the dressing this is a winning entre.
They also have a variety of vegetarian dishes that aren't necessarily the slouches of the menu.
This is my local Vietnamese fix when I don't want to go to Footscray.
The place really blows my mind on different level, the biggest score would be that fact that they offer wide range of food from Vietnam that you might not get a chance to try before.
I love the Vietnamese noodle, the rare beef salad, Paper rolls, and their speciality soft shell crab noodle (like I said, you can't really find this anywhere else!)
And they also offer amazing selections of drinks and desserts ❤❤
A small restaurant that serves up a nice spread. We shared the mince meat vine leaves and the shrimp and crab net spring rolls. I preferred the spring rolls out of the 2 entrees, they were nice and crispy with a lot of flavour packed inside.
I had the beef pho soup, the beef was nice and tender and cut thinly as I like. The broth also very nice and there was a generous amount of the usual ingredients that are added to pho.
Service was ok, we weren't given any side plates and had to ask for water a couple times.
A good local and I will be returning soon.
Loved this little gem tucked away in the little corner of the Flemington showground village. This place has also been rated as one of the cheapeats option by Good Food. Love how they have a decent variety on the menu and the soft shell crab tapioca noodle soup is a must try if you are visiting for the first time.
They do have a good variety on the menu with specials on the board as well
Love love love their crab net spring rolls and chefs special cold coconut udon noodle dish! Nice little place, nothing to fancy, but clean and inviting.
Probably the best pho I've tasted in Melbourne. Broth had heaps of flavour and was very well balanced. Beef was also nice and rare when served and serving size was very generous
Wonderful little find! The noodles here were all quite good - be it the satay noodles, curry noodles, pho, or non-soup based vermicelli rice noodles. The salads were average and needed a bit more refinement. Otherwise, a descent cheap eat in Ascot Vale to try out.
Love this place with its very clean, modern Vietnamese dishes. Always fresh and tasty. Very moderately priced and polite service. Today we had the quail which was delicious, not too salty and very meaty for a small bird, use your fingers with this one! The crab net spring rolls are a mist wrapped in fresh lettuce and herbs.
What an absolute gem. Awesome food in a small and warm venue. The food is delicious and is the best vietnamese in the area. Highly recomended

My score 3.75 stars. J & I had lunch here on Tue 26th Feb. Slightly hard to spot – H27 is nestled b/w Bamboo garden & Epsom Rd. A nice set up, low stools but comfortable – bag baskets underneath (which is a nice touch). Cutlery, etc was nice.
J had Vego pho > Huge (nicely shaped) bowl, a bargain at $11.80 👍! It contained nice interesting mushrooms (poss King oyster?), largish carrot - but properly cooked (so ok), snow peas, broccoli & wombok (nice). The fried tofu slices were a bit bland & there weren’t heaps of them. There were PLENTY of flat rice noodles, which were very silky (yum), but pretty soft (anymore & they would be too soft – it was borderline). It also had 5 spice flavouring (which I thought unusual?) - although not my fav spice, it was perfectly in balance so was ok! Accompanying sides were: bean sprouts, Thai basil, lemon (not enough) & chopped red chilli. Although written on the menu, the waiter was nice & asked if butter was ok in the dish (re: being a vego dish). 👍👍 Overall J enjoyed it!
I had Vermicelli salad w Shrimp Surimi (prawn mince wrapped in bean curd sheet & deep fried - YUM 😋)! > It also contained julienned carrot & cucumber (prefer bigger – didn’t have a lot of impact), peanuts, fried shallots, a few bean shoots, HEAPS of shredded Iceberg lettuce (didn’t like really – too much). Dressing was good & VERY spicy!!! NO HERBS so pinched a few from J’s pho. Despite this, overall it was still good due to the dressing & surimi! 👍
Quarter of a star taken off for cleaning a table nearby with strong smelly chemicals 👎!
Quarter of a star added back for the fab instrumental piano background music - “We are the champions” being the highlight 👍.
We’ll be back…
