I have been going to Pho No 1 for more than 4 years now. This place is my hidden gem as the broth is always flavourful and aromatic and has never let me down.
I'm not even kidding, every single time I have dined at theirs the rare beef pho is always the same flavour and great quality. I also love how they have complimentary onions for share.
Additionally, if you are the type of person who doesn't like busy restaurants or lining up, I highly recommend this place. It is very comfortable and not overly noisy like some places (Hoa Tran for example) in Springvale.
The prices are reasonable and the quantities are large. Thanks for the great service guys!
There's a pho shop around every corner in Springvale. My usual haunt was closed due to the lockdown so I had to go beyond my comfort zone to try the beef pho from Pho No. 1. With a name like that, how could I go wrong?
The pho was packed for takeaway nicely. The noodles were perfectly cooked but the broth was slightly under seasoned. They gave me a nice amount of fresh bean sprouts and sauces.
While it doesn't replace my all time fave pho shop, Pho No. 1 sure is a good alternative!
Pho No.1 is one of our go-to pho places. However, skip the pho and get the BBH! The BBH is awesome - spicy, flavourful, and a very generous portion size. Noodles are thick and chewy, and silky smooth. The dry vermicelli noodles with spring rolls are also pretty nice, and so is the broken rice if you’re not feeling noodles.
Very nice Pho, have many choices of pho to pick, the soup is nice and tasty, but my favourite one is Bo Kho ( Beef Stew ) , the size of dishes/bowls here are big, good value, the restaurant always look clean and friends are very friendly, very fast service, you dont have to wait for long to be served! If you go Springvale, try this 👍🏻
Came in looking for something to warm my stomach and found this perfect dish not your average BBH, 3 color BBH to be exact !! Chickpea and green pea noodles accompanied by the normal white ones very nice and chewy and the soup was fabulous definitely coming back !!!
Keep coming back to Pho No.1. Absolutely delicious and price range is FABULOUS. I always have beef combination add extra beef ball. Love it lol
Nice friendly service! Though their pho is not the best in Springvale, I would definitely come back here again. Really enjoy the atmosphere here!
Compared to its competitors it’s alright, it’s pretty decent for its price. The pho for me was served warm and not hot the way I like it, but was still enjoyable. It was a 10 minutes wait until food came out.
The fresh rice noodles rolls are a must try! They even come in different colours - naturally coloured with vegetables. We got the avocado and pumpkin rolls, freshly made and accompanied by a tasty dipping sauce (vegan friendly). Also couldn’t go past the thin rice noodle rolls filled with three types of mushrooms - a creative vegan twist on a Vietnamese classic! The avocado rice paper rolls were also freshly made with generous fillings inside. We were really impressed by how quickly we got our meals and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The seating here is spacious, clean and modern - one of the very few gems that ticks all the boxes in Springvale. Can’t wait to come back for more of these rice noodle rolls!!
Food - creative
Service - efficient
Ambience - spacious
Veg friendliness - come here for the rice noodle rolls!
Food comes fast and the Pho soup is very hot and fresh every time. To clarify for everyone, there is actually NO MSG at all, the soup is beautifully made with actual bones and delicate ingredients (personally been to the back and know the cook). The service is decent but due to the fact that it is quite new, the waiters are a bit slow.
Conclusion: Great Pho, best I've had so far and plenty of ingredients, very filling.
TL;DR
Food: 9/10
Service: 7/10
Money's worth: 9/10
Went for a family dinner, it was a nice and clean restaurant!
We ordered 3 large bowls of pho that was easily shared between 4 people!
The service was fast and friendly & the food portions were huge for the price which is awesome!
I would definitely recommend dining here, no left overs could be found as the food was delicious 🤤.
it is a new place and we stopped by near where we parked. It is huge bowl with look like less soup, less meat, less veggies. Taste was alright and staff and owner were lovely and responsive whenever we need something. Maybe I would say it is a fancy Vietnamese noodle shop. I would rather go to small busy shop
Ordered a large rare beef phó. Lovely beef soup base with fresh bean shoots, Asian basil and lemon. Friendly service and very clean. Family casual style restaurant.
One of the very few restaurants in Springvale that provide vegetarian pho! Really friendly service and the food servings are huge. Even if you are getting the takeaway, staff are very hospitable and will offer hot tea while you wait for your order to be made if it will take more than a few minutes. Setting is very modern and clean.
Edit: I've gone back a few more times to try out their other veggie options as per owner's recommendation and they are all amazing. One thing the restaurant also has is different types of pulses for the noodles which is definitely unique. Love the modern twist they put on food (sorry for the takeaway images). Never have had an issue with the service either. I believe there is a card surcharge/percent but it's not like they're charging you a dollar like some places when you're just buying a meal for yourself. One thing I wish they would have, is that their new menu is online!
Finally found my new regular pho spot. Friendly service and yes, they do take card payment which really is hard to find. Great portion size with lots of meat. The soup was spot on and the fried chilli (oil) had a lot of flavour. Looking forward to my future visits with out a queue :)
Good menu, all the vietnamese classics, we tried the bo kho(beef stew) with noodles and the banh cuon (ground pork) in rice batter. The broth for the bo kho was very flavoursome with good chunks of beef, the banh cuon was also very tasty and ideal for someone wanting a light meal. Restraunt was clean and service was fast.
Pho was quick to arrive and all the dishes had generous serving sizes. The grilled pork in the vermicelli noodle dish was pretty good but the spring rolls could have been better. Prices were reasonable. Good selection of dishes and drinks.
I love the pho broth. Very nice. Visited yesterday and Place looked packed and under staffed, but the foods still come out quick and hot.
