I think this is one of the best Pho restaurants in Melb CBD. Fast service, you can choose your own sauces and chili. Good service. Not much to say, but definitely my go-to-place when I crave for Pho.
If you don’t mind food court seating, this is a great choice for some quick and wholesome pho. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The chicken pho I ordered was pretty substantial - the ‘shredded chicken’ pieces were more like chunky juicy chicken bits! The veggies tasted fresh and crisp. A good food court choice for sure.
Vietnamese eats in Emporium foodcourt.
Ambience: There wasn't much to say, as it is one of the stalls inside the foodcourt. The foodcourt itself is big though, and pretty nice though most of the time it's packed with people so it gets bit noisy.
Service: There was a line so i queued for a bit before being served. Staffs were friendly, and everything was fussless. Was given a buzzer and it took some time before it buzzed. Cutleries and napkins are self serve.
Food: Their pork vermicelli noodle salad was first of all, generous. The vegs were fresh, the vermicelli were just well done and the meat was soft and flavorful, pretty generous as well. Served with it was the usual sweet and sour fish sauce which I honestly think i need more than one container (which gives the flavor), so i asked for some more and added a bit more to the noodle (it depends on individuals though). Overall i enjoyed the bowl, and it was filling and satisfying.
Price: Reasonable for the portion and quality.

The pho soup is really good. It has standard beef taste, not too thick not too bland. I love their spring rolls it’s not dried but crispy enough.

It makes sense to get the larger bowl for $1 extra really $12 vs $11. For that you do get a nice large serving of meat (chicken in my case) the broth is of high quality here and minimal sauces are required to bring the flavour, unlike some watered down ones I’ve had at other places
Tried several times here, really nice pho. Very traditional soup with fresh beef and chicken. The staff is friendly. Good choice for a fast meal.
Easy to order, and friendly, helpful staff. Food tastes great (had the chicken pho and spring rolls). Will definitely be ordering here again!
Finding good pho in the CBD is rare. I know a few people including my parents who enjoy the pho at their Richmond branch so I was eager to try their express one.
* Broth - it was okay, I could taste my lemon more than I could taste the beef. Missing beefiness but still easy to consume.
* Noodles - not the greatest, very basic and not silky.
* Meat - on the upside, I got their beef special which came with some tender rare beef and a generous amount of beef brisket. No mystery meat to be found but tendon was nice and meaty.
* Condiments - no pickled onions but on their counter was a sauce station. No chilli oil which is a real shame as that gives a lot of fragrance to your dipping sauce but instead is replaced with crushed chillis.
* Value for money - considering it's in the CBD it was alright and filled me up, not a bad choice if you're after a quick meal in the Emporium.
pretty good pho and springrolls. better than any other pho ive tried at any foodcourt in melbourne with a decent price. however, the service is quite poor as the staff are not friendly.
They served a generous portion of combination pho noodle soup. The soup was a bit bland, but that easily fixed with a dash of fish sauce. Done!
The best part was, I helped myself with all the condiment and chili! That's an a+ from me!
It was delicious and the soup was authentic.
It's real Vietnamese food.
For me, I Love Pho Express in Emporium is my favourite pho in Melbourne. That probably sounds like an overstatement to a lot of people but I love eating here. The staff are so accommodating and lovely and they cater to my specific tastes so they keep me really happy. I like the food court atmosphere, I love the flavour of the broth, the chilli is fresh, the banh mi are delicious. I always come here every time I want my favourite pho and Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommend!
Dumpling prawn egg noodle soup.👌
It's hard to find good pho in CBD. Dont think that pho in food court must not good. This one is very nice! Tasty Pho and Drink with reasonable price. You can take fresh chilli as much as you want!
Really amazing vegan pho 🍲 fresh and tasty! Staff very friendly and accomodating to dietary needs! Spring rolls tasted very fresh and piping hot.
The orders take awhile since there's there's only 2 guys who does the preparations but the food was okay..
