Points for: amazing pho

Pho Hung is the only other place I go to for pho in Springvale - it's still very busy but usually you don’t have to wait long (if at all).

Pho comes out super quick - one of the differences I like here is that when you get the combination special, you also get the round beef sausage, young chicken eggs, and whole liver pieces.

The liver is so good - it's soft, crumbly, irony and perfect when you chase it with soup.

Very cheap at $11 for a regular, and that's all I expect from an awesome cheap and cheerful restaurant!

Craving a hot bowl of pho on a cold rainy day. Ordered the large beef and tendon pho. There was plenty of meat. The broth was quite flavoursome. Food also comes out quickly.

Yum! The pho here is really authentic and is one that I go to quite regularly! I believe they are one of those restaurants that only have pho on the menu , my fave is always sliced beef or the beef special

Our favourite place for pho in Springvale! We are here atleast every month. The portion sizes are large enough that depending on how hungry you are, you can share a large between two for less than $14.

This place is always busy which shows how popular if it's. Service is very fast and efficient!!

Venue is a bit out dated but it's the good that counts and it's highly recommended!

Store layout very basic. Cosy and a little noisy. Quick and friendly service.
Ordered rare beef and beef ball pho and it came within minutes. Meal was nice to begin but had a strange after-taste towards the end. Might've been something I mixed into it though.
Overall would recommend.

Welcome to our Springvale blitz (Part 1 of 7)! We began our exploration of Springvale on an early Saturday morning at Pho Hung. No queues, no worries.
We were seated quickly and noted that the menu was on the wall....no messy or dog eared menus to deal with, another plus.
We ordered the beef special and the chicken and beef combination but with spicy soup (50 cents extra). The prerequisite condiments were on the fairly clean table.
Our phos arrived in record time and both were of generous portions with fresh bean sprouts on the side. The broth was tasty and we did not experience any side effects from MSG so yet another plus.
A lovely start to our Springvale adventure. We then headed to Golden Lake Cake & Roast (Springvale Central) for part 2 of our Springvale blitz....see you there!

We had a pho here which was very tasty and flavourful. We both ordered a medium size and a big generous portion size. Reasonable price and the service is quick. The place accept cash only like most other Vietnamese restaurants.

I have bad memories of Pho Hung, a broth just full of MSG. I don't mind MSG here and there but when they use so much you know that the flavour profile of the broth is lacking. A revisit was in order, mostly because everyone wanted something different. Friend's broken rice was missing the steamed egg cake, I guess they just don't do it here. My pho bo dac biet was:

* Broth - suprised, I was ready to nod and say, "yep it's rubbish" but it was actually decent. Whether I now have a trained palate or the other two times I had it was during dinner and the soup had been reduced down so much it got way too salty. Drank the entire bowl, I had a small bowl as I wasn't that hungry.
* Noodles - okay, not that silky or thin.
* Meat - the sliced beef wasn't sliced that thin or as tender as I'd like, also I found some gristle which is a first for me in the realm of pho. Everything else was good.
* Condiments - holy trinity of sauces were available for dipping meat or if you are a heathen like my friend you can use it to desecrate the broth.
* Value for money - good, $11 for a small and $12 for medium (I usually get medium).

Medium bowl of pho was quite large. Everything on the menu were reasonably priced. The broth, noodles and meats were tasty. Staff members were friendly and the service was quick. Would definitely return for future pho cravings.

Despite the local favourite being Pho Hung Vuong, Pho Hung is our pick for the best pho in Springvale given their consistent broth and always generous portions. Oh and you never have to wait in line here!

Best pho in town! Growing up in Springvale I have tried pretty much every restaurant that serves pho from Hoa Tran, Pho Hoang Dakao to Pho Hung Vuong. With so many restaurants to choose from, Pho Hung really stands out above the rest. Their bowls of pho come hot out the kitchen and the wait time is usually less than 5 minutes! The broth tho, man. Clear and full of flavour with so many combos to choose. Rare beef, brisket, tripe, tendon, beef meatballs, sliced chicken, all the good stuff! Aside from the pho, they do broken rice and grilled pork which is also tasty and the pork/prawn spring rolls are a must too! If you truly want a super satisfying meal every time you’ll definitely become a regular at Pho Hung.

As a regular customer of Pho Hung's Preston branch I was naturally excited to find one on my visit to Springvale.
The shop is fast paced with quick service, no printed menus except those on the wall, and only the popular dishes are offered.
The pho was great, perfect broth and good value for the price. Always a crowd favourite.

Great Vietnamese food, affordable prices. 

My go to place when i'm down at Springvale. Generally I would order atleast the Bun Bo Hue in a small. Why small? cause you got to save room for other goodies around the area and beef noodle soup is generally a very filling meal already. 

The Bun Bo Hue is is amazing, great flavours and packed with greens, truely a spicy refreshment. 

We also had the pork broken rice, pretty standard dish among the Vietnamese restaurants. Its a safe bet and always nice (in most places you go to)

You must also get a Cafe Sa Da (Ice Coffee) it compliments the Pho/Bun Bo Hue, and completes a fulfilling lunch. 

Overall this place is a great little place, don't expect much service, as it is quite a "street" style type kind of establishment. 

Highly recommended!

Always come to this one whenever possible. Generous portions on the meats as a pho diet bac (chicken and beef special) should have lots of stuff. Unlike some shop only put in some sliced chicken breast and chicken giblets on top of a beef special...... I want my chicken blood, liver and all other goodies!

Never disappoints in my last 16 years (where the prices were still $7 $8 $9 for sml reg lrg)

Pho #1 was on the mark. Tables are squishy. Spring rolls were average at best. Beverages were fine. Would come back for the pho only.
What is with the grilled pork on rice? Is that the poor man's broken rice?

Occasionally .....

The occasional Broken Rice Pork Chop but mostly their Pho Beef & Tripe and Three Colours, occasionally Vietnamese condensed milk drip coffee.

No nonsense service, choose your bowl size and within 5 minutes it will be served. It has been consistent for years, it used to be part of the big Pho Dzung conglomerate that was set up in Richmond and Footscray.

Simple, Vietnamese Pho shop common Vanilla interior, quite neat and reasonably clean.

The floor team has been serving for years, always attentive, full of smiles and pleasant. A joy to come back ..... occasionally, quite far now.

There's nothing that can quite beat a hot bowl of pho bo that comes out on a cold day, with that steam in your face and that beautiful hearty smell of the broth intoxicating you. Pho Hung dishes up the goods, and portions are more than enough to suffice. Service is the generic Vietnamese standard in the hub of Springvale. While it isn't the most amazing pho I have had, it is still quite nice.

Massive *regular* size 🤤🤤 Pho Hung is my most go to pho place in Springvale! Always blasting on air conditioning it feels cold inside even in 38 degrees summer days. I also luv the free phresh bean sprouds, mints and lemon to go with it! But I'm a little sad about price increase😞 I got regular size pho for $12 😗 O well

Cons: Cash only!

Thank you Pho Hung for satisfying my pho cravings 😌

I absolutely loved the pho. Flavourful broth and the ‘beef combination’ and ‘rare beef’ were all wonderful. We also ordered the prawn and chicken spring rolls, which were yet again awesome.

Food was great and the food was ready in 3 minutes. Only problem (expect with these places) is that it’s cleanliness level. Floor and room just feels a little dirty. Reasonable pricing. 11 for small. 12.50 for medium and 13.50 for large. Very filling and is definitely value for money.

It was a coincidence to pick restaurant because it was pretty close to where we parked the car.
Ordered broken rice and beef rare noodle soup recommended by the waitstaff.

Surprisingly they were pretty good, actually it is considered as one of the best broken rice we ve ever tried before. The grilled pork was nicely done and it was cooked well.
The noodle soup was pretty generous and the beef was very soft.

We really enjoyed having our dinner here and recommended for these dishes.

Unfortunately the place wasn't really convenient as it is too hot inside and i think they need to have better air circulation. Also the table wasn't properly cleaned.

This is chain restaurant at Springvale, plus Pho Hung 2 had at least 5 groups waiting outside on the weekend. We decided to eat at one of regular place here, yet it was full and got the last table. There is menu on board and ordered medium size beef, chicken pho and prawn spring rolls. They are all good and I can only taste natural fresh flavour and plenty of meat. Some people may think tasteless but I prefer has no artificial flavours.

Probably one of.my favourite places for broken rice. Although the price has increased, the flavour remains the same. The meat sizing and egg aren't consistent. One dish had a cooked egg whilst the other was sunny side up and the meat proportions vary. Service is alright you may want to take into account if you have an inside table, don't be surprised that the waiters will be leaning over your table to give.the inside table their food.

My go-to for that PHOnominal pho fix! I've tried all other places around the area and have gone back several times based on people swearing "such-and-such has the tastiest pho"...but none of them hits the spot like at Pho Hung. Consistently good no mattet time of day. They must be doing something right to be busy right from morning opening time.
Hubby doesn't like pho so he is happy with the crispy fried chicken here.

SERVICE: 3.5/5

Having been here for the past 7 years or so, the one thing I can vouch for us the consistency of the pho. Waitresses come and go, but the taste is pretty much the same. That is, consistently good. The only thing I personally did not like is the use of MSG in the broth.

Any choice of pho will not leave one disappointed. I think it is a matter of personal preference. Special beef combination is my thing. And the crispy skin chicken rice is also seriously good too, but only when combined with the sauce that comes with it. Another non pho dish that stands out in my opinion is the broken rice. Having tried from a number of shops in Springvale, Richmond and St Alban, this shop is still tops in my book.

The rest of the dishes like the spring roll and others are pretty much standard fare you find in any restaurant.

The place could do with a bit of better cleanliness. And they should really stop their indiscriminate price hikes ever so often. $11 for a rice dish is a tad high for example.

If you happen to be in the vicinity, you have to try this at least once. Otherwise, why bother coming to Springvale in the first place. Arguably, there is another pho shop that rivals the taste department with this place, and they do not use MSG to enhance their broth. However, this other shop is a pho-only joint, hence you don't get the choice of other dishes which can be a bummer if you are going with a few other people and not everyone likes to have pho for a meal.

As a person who has literally almost eaten every single bowl of pho in Melbourne (it's been an intense 21 year effort), I don't mean this lightly when I say this pho is my ride or die. The soup pretty much elevates you to the heavens and beyond and cleanses you of pretty much every sin you've ever had in your entire life. 
Spring rolls and vermicelli also pretty decent, but honestly the pho is the only reason worth coming here. 

Only complaint about the pho is that they need to stop increasing the price and reducing the meat within the pho. Not cool bro.

Still one of the best pho places in Melbourne. The broth is authentic, the ingredients are fresh and plentiful, and the rice noodles are very slurp-worthy. The place is busy for very good reason. Prices have gone up slightly over the years we've come here but that won't stop us from visiting. Highly recommend the beef 'special'.

"PHOMAZING" This was heaven and may I say it ( Oh My God Amazing )I'm not normally one to use "OMG" in a review, but Pho Hung has blown my expectations out of the water. Pho Hung's true authentic pho is what pho is meant to taste like. I can see why the place is always busy and it truly is so worth anyone's time to travel out here to Springvale to find out for themselves with how pho should really be tasted,enjoyed and in my opinion celebrated.My tastebuds are still singing in what I can describe as a heavenly chorus of hallelujah. Despite the fact in the end I was full with my giant sized medium order, I just couldn't resist the pho's charm and just had to finish, as to me it would be such a crime against nature to waste in what I would describe as saintly deliciousness. I can't wait to come back as this has really been such a nice and wonderful surprise for today. I can honestly say with true joy that it also has put me in a fantastic mood. It has great service, very fast and efficient and prices you can't look past for being so incredible affordable. Huge thank you for my friend May taking me here for this wonderful treat.

I came here with the girls. Both were cravings for some pho and I wanted to eat some of the BBQ pork on rice so I decided to get that. The two ladies I went with both had the beef pho and we also added some spring roll. I was satisfied with my BBQ pork on rice and the other two finished their pho with gusto, and the spring rolls were delicious. The food came out pretty quick and the service was not so bad at all. If you are looking for something quick and easy then you are on the right spot.

Can't say I'm a pho soup person so I can't comment on that, but I'm sure it's great considering the enormity of reviews. I love their grilled chicken on rice for $10 bucks (As of Oct 2018 it is $12.) You cannot go wrong, flavoursome chicken, nice rice and a generous sweet chilli dipping sauce accompaniment. They also give you a complimentary broth in a separate bowl with it, which I find really accompanies it well. I really like the dish. One of the few Viet restaurants I go to in Springvale.

Great little place for some good pho. I had the usual, a beef and tripe noodle soup.  The soup was quite nice, as usual.  The beef was rare, which then got cooked in the soup.  The service is very fast and the food comes out like a bullet train!  The only down side to this place was the Chicken slice pho that my mum ordered. The chicken was dry and chewy, and she couldn't eat half of it. Overall a good place for pho.

The staff was very nice, the outside door was locked but seeing that we brought a baby, he opened the door just for us so we wouldn't have to walk further to the door inside the shopping center. The pho was very nice, the broth was leaning to towards the sweeter side but I actually prefer that rather than saltier broth with lots of MSG in it (pho dzung in Richmond). They were generous with the coriander leaves, it was just perfect with the soup. The beef were sliced quite thinly, just how I like it, but they could probably be a bit more generous. I also liked the prawn spring rolls as well, crunchy and I could taste the prawns' sweetness. Price was a bit more expensive than other pho places I've been to (like $1 to probably $2).

We decided to try this place based on Zomato's "What the Pho!" collection. We regularly visit Hoa Tran in Springvale but thought it might be good to try something different.

So to the Pho. It's good. It's Springvale so you'd expect it to be good. But it's not great... it's not better than Hoa Tran. In fact the soup was sweeter and with less meat than you get at Hoa Tran. Plus the place is small and doesn't have a menu apart from the soups and 4 rice dishes, so if you're after an entree with your soup you're out of luck.

High quality pho and other well known dishes served with lightning speed, this place and all its sister restaurants define the standard in Melbourne for me. The broth is so flavoursome I often drink half the bowl. Generous portions including the meat, good value food in a down to earth setting. On the way out, we were amused by the two adjacent stickers "cash only" and "no cash kept on premises". 😉

Pho. Unpretentious Vietnamese beef noodle soup is what pho hung is famous for and it delivers. Service is quick and on point but were here to eat pho. Finish it off with Vietnamese ice coffee and you have a great winter meal. Did i say the broth packs a massive punch?
