Hidden away behind the Virgin Active at the bottom of Collins Street Pho Nom has made queuing for food an efficient process. Twin registers and the Ye-ole-vibrating-pager when you meal is ready makes the short wait time all the more easy. I have generally always grabbed the pork belly Bahn Mi which I have always enjoyed but today tried the lemongrass chicken which was a step up again and sizeable for $9. The chicken was generous so fragrant and the chilli that I opted for gave a real zing ( and a watery nose). Will defiantly keep coming back here.

The bahn mi here was quite delicious. I could taste the shallots which they added to the bahn mi, which made all the difference. Ordered a crispy pork bahn mi via the hey you app, which came with a sweet 20% discount. For $6, this quick lunch was quite a winner. The bread is crispy, but perhaps it's less healthy cos they coated the crispy pork with some form of mayo. All in all, would def come back cos of the good location and pricing.
Im a fan of noodle soup, thats why i never hesitated Vietnamese noodle here in melbourne. The soup is more flavorful and the meat is more tender and plenty than the one i tried in the philippines. This dish is not complete without schiracha, chilli and fish sauce. A must try!
Banh mi is pretty good, fried chicken and sriracha mayo banh mi was a nice change to the traditional. Decent sized rice paper rolls.. the pork belly com is a substantial sized meal for lunch. Can’t go wrong here, will continue returning.
Pretty good meal I had here- Salt and Pepper chicken ribs! The place was super busy but it didn’t take too long to get my food, staff were rushing around but were friendly. Great for lunch.

Went here for lunch, its a hidden spot behind the Virgin Active building on Collins. Ordered the Pho Bo Hanoi - sliced rare beef and Banh Mi with crispy fried chicken. I like the idea of self serve of herbs, sprouts and chilies. They have different sizes for Pho would not suggest ordering small if you are really hungry. Quick service and friendly staff.
Points for: efficient service, flavoursome pho
Dine Time: Weekday lunch
Quite pleased with the Pho Bo Saigon here - the rice noodles aren't cooked to mush, still has a slippery bite to it. The soup itself, while I wish it was hotter, had good, fresh, beefy depth to it, without it tasting overly artificial, like other places can.
The beef balls are cut chunky, with a good chew to it.
I do wish they had the "special" version with the round sausage meat and tripe - don't be afraid to add it to the menu guys, even for a trial season!
Came here for lunch with a friend. There was a queue at the counter but we also managed to nab a table. I ordered the rice noodle with chicken and spring rolls. It was delicious and I definitely feel that the flavours were more authentic than other Vietnamese eateries in the CBD. Definitely would come back.
This is the perfect place to get your pho fix. The service is so efficient and the staff are very friendly. I normally go for the pho bo Hanoi which is delicious and great value for money.
LIT⭐️!: been here twice and everything had a flavour punch each time! The curry bun, the chicken rice and even the slaw. The bread of the banh mi was so crispy and warm just how you want it. Come for the food, stay for a good mood.
NOT SO LIT: wait for ice to melt a bit before you have the iced coffee
Grabbed a late lunch here… the food was good, it took a little while but I was there shortly before closing. Perhaps the baguette could have been crunchier but over all I really enjoyed it.
Only been in Melbourne for two weeks and work near the Deloitte building on Collin street and didn’t know where to start for good food. Came across Pho Nom and their Pho broth is super tasty and perfect to have on a cold weather and together I had the cafe su da (traditional Vietnamese ice coffee). My lunch buddy got the $12 deal which is on the top left of the Pho noodle, which came with a drink, traditional rice paper roll and mini pho bo (beef noodle in a cup).
Ate the Salt and Pepper Chicken Ribs and the Pork Springrolls, both were tasty and reasonably priced at $15 for both.
