Best pho I’ve ever had! Recommend the special beef noodle soup and add fresh chilli if you’re a spicy food lover!!! Kind staff, good service, affordable prices!
Best Pho in the inner West. Nice big servings, good value, quick, easy, bliss! Recent change of owners saw prices rise (still cheap), with the simple fitout also updated with a fresh lick of paint and chairs replacing the old stools. Luckily that magical broth stayed the same!
Owner is a nice guy, always trying to help you out. Got a student discount without even asking for one or knowing about it. Food is decent and of good value. Fried ice cream is a bit weird, the fry is thick and spongecake-like.
great Pho place in Newtown， nice and yummy。 i love the spicy pho, and laksa. If u wanna have a causal lunch,it is a great place. and it is not expensive， gonna come to eat next time again
Absolutely love this place.
Sometimes the most understated restaurants can really punch above their weight. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s great to see that it is kept it’s consistency.
The crispy chicken and tomato rice is the bomb
The pork vermicelli also is outstanding.
Of course as the name suggests the Pho is great as well.
Pho was sooo good. Perfect for a cold winter day. Staff were friendly and service was great. This place is great for simple yet delicious viet food
Pho was good. Atmosphere was pleasing. Service was great. Can’t complain. They didn’t have a problem with me changing my pho to egg noodle soup and adding wontons in there. Anyways pho always taste the same everywhere.
It’s a really small place that’s quite easy to find. Their service is really friendly especially because I was alone and this is my first time being here. Their food is so nice!! Probably the best pho I’ve had (but that’s not saying much I don’t have much pho). The beef is definitely the highlight (I ordered the special beef noodle soup). Just beware- it’s not airconditioned properly and can get very hot.

I love my pho, and the taste reminds me of pho Ann in Bankstown. So I assume it's the msg I can taste lol it was okay service and it was quiet when we went
Pho 236 is a small Vietnamese restaurant in Newtown, which offers cheap Vietnamese food.
They have rice, pho and small dishes but there are not too many choices on the menu. The kitchen does not look very clean, and restaurant does not pay too much focus on decorations.
The #Crispy chicken with tomato rice# is OK, very simple but cheap. The dish includes vegetables. I didn't find much difference between tomato rice and normal rice.
#Seafood noodles# is very large in quantity. The taste is again very ordinary.
What do you expect in casual dining restaurant. Quick service, excellent pho with reasonable price, friendly staff. Keep going back regularly even i get discount 10% for take away order and no charge for any drink or food out there. Best Pho in Newtown but the cheapest one lol
Bang for the buck. I tried fresh beef noodle soup and the portion was big. The broth was a bit too sweet, I wonder if they put sugar in it cause it's quite impossible to make such sweet broth. Service was just ok, the decoration was pretry dull. But compare to other places, the food was good value for money.
Very flavorsome pho brought!!! Super yummy, I was not disappointed. However, I have a little regret that my soup was not as hot as I like it, especially with the wintery wind outside. Therefore, the raw I ingredients (soy, basil, chili) are not "melting" enough to release all their flavors.
Pho was really flavoursome. Definitely did not disappoint. The shop looks a bit old and small but the food was good. Spring roll was fresh served with a sweet dipping sauce. Price was alright.
Was in Sydney for a couple of days and decided to try this out due to all the positive reviews! We ordered the beef pho and the spring rolls and it was delicious!!
Service was good and prices were affordable. We ended up going there the next day too!
Above average food, it isn't no 3 hat restaurant but what do you expect for the price you're paying. Had the sizzling Mongolian chicken and the beef salad, great flavours and filling.
If you’re looking for tasty and affordable Vietnamese/Chinese food, including pho in Newtown, then Phở 236 will satisfy your hunger. It is understated in appearance, but if you’re after good food without the gloss, this is definitely a place to consider and try. To some pho connoisseur, the pho at Phở 236 might not compare to the pho of Marrickville or Cabramatta, but you know what – if it looks like pho, smells like pho and tastes like pho – it’s more than good enough for me.
I hadn’t had any of this dish to compare to in over a year but I thought the broth was quite fragrant and delicious. The standard sprouts with lemon and basil leaves which is almost always served with Pho anywhere you go.

When it comes to cheap, quick and tasty Vietnamese food in Newtown, nobody comes close.
This cheap and cheerful Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant has been serving up one of my favourite Salt & Pepper Squid dishes in Sydney — Phamish used to cook it like this but I don't find theirs as crispy anymore since their move to Palmer Street location

Pho 236 on King Street Newtown has been serving Vietnamese street food classics for ten years or so. Pho 236 is your basic hole-in-the-wall joint and has to be one of the best value feeds in Newtown. The food is good though not on par with the Vietnamese
You're craving a quick and tasty Vietnamese meal in Newtown and you've turned your pockets inside out and found just 10 bucks and a few coins.
Great sizzling prawns!. Came by and had lunch here today. I had the sizzling garlic prawns, which were cooked well and was delicious. The vegetables were not bad either. The place is quiet and the service is great. The staff are friendly the prices are cheap: max $15, for a main meal.
Seriously good pho! Fresh, tasty and generous for $7.80 The rice noodles in the pho were so good.
Fast service. I love the fast service and the food is always consistently fantastic! The prices are completely reasonable too. I go here often with my friends in Newtown and it is always a great decision when we do.
Awesome!!!. This place is awesome :) great cheap prices and fantastic food. Their beef pho, chicken soup and fresh spring rolls are Devine, u can't get it anywhere else. I've been here literally 20 times and will keep going back. Try it, I'm sure you won't b disappointed.
Enjoyed a casual cheap meal in this popular spot. Ordered wontons and pho. Attentive and friendly service
Cheap and cheerful! Could do with some fan/aircon though, sweltering inside on a cool night
Best fast food in Newtown. Fast take away- call and it will be ready in 15 minutes for pickup. Eat in- cheaper than I could cook it myself, methinks.
One of the best cheap eats in Newtown
Cheap and cheerful. Love this place, it's cheap and cheerful and BYO! The beef pho is my favourite.
Great Every Day Ffood. No nonsense, good, authentic & cheap Vietnamese, if you want to eat in be early! It'salways full.
Cheap and tasty. Very quick and lovely service, and the pho is very nice. I wasn't a huge fan of the other food but it wasn't terrible either.
Best Pho Out!. I'm a Pho Ga addict and I've had it all over the world, but Pho 236 is my favourite. To be fair - it's not the most authentic (they typically don't have that many delicious veggies, for starters), but it's still the tastiest I've had.
The Beef Vermicelli is great too, and the salt and pepper squid is also good.
A regular fix for us. Sure its nothing to look at but the soups, squid and summer rolls are great.. They could use some new teacups though quite a lot are chipped...
Simple and easy. Good chicken Pho and delicious salt and spicy squid.
Other reviews mention "cheap food"! Well, d'uh!!! That's what we WANT! And who cares about the decor when you can get large, tasty fresh spring rolls, a huge plate of delicious and tender Salt & Spice Calamari, a big tub of rice and 2 cans of soft drink for just under $25 - enough to feed 2 (large!) people!!? I'm ALWAYS going back to this place!
It's great qualily for the price. The fresh spring rolls are really good and so are all of the soups.
Phone 236 has great rice paper rolls, yummy hot pots and the Mongolian beef is good too. A regular favourite for me at great price. Highly recommend.
Best beef Pho on King Street & really cheap.
Great fresh beef noodle. Just got back from Vietnam and look for pho all over. This resturant was better. Fresh spring rolls are fantastic as is the salt and leper squid
Fantastic if you know what to get. I highly reccomend the fresh beef noodle soup. It is the best in the inner west and for 7 dollars you can't go wrong
Vietnamese theme, cheap and cheerful food. Friends and I bought 2 entrees with 4 mains totalling $49.50. Nothing flash but fills a hole.
Fresh, complex flavours, great atmosphere - definitely eating here again! I am constantly craving Vietnamese vermicelli salads and eat them very regularly. I was so pleasantlysurprised by the quality of the food at Pho236. Apart from that, the staff were very friendly and the restaurant was immaculately clean and had a really soothing atmosphere. Will definitely return to try more on their menu!
Ordered the Bun Bo Hue for lunch. The broth was a little watery but the flavour was right for the most part. Service was good and they even had Vietnamese mint in the bowl - no particularly bad points but some Vietnamese condiments on the table would have been nice (garlic and chilli in vinegar and sugar, etc.). Still probably my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Newtown, but there's always room for improvement.
Lovely spot to have a meal. We had the beef pho and the chicken pho, they're great. The fresh rice paper rolls were good too. Friendly service.
Finally found a go to Pho place near my home. Already been there twice in a week. One of my friend who had bad experience having pho before, also loved it! The food feels so refreshing. Now I feel like going there every week.
What more can you expect from the weekend when it ends with having a delicious dinner at Pho 236. We were looking for a good Vietnamese place and finally we found one. Ordered Singaporean noodles and Pho - both of them were delicious. Not to mention avocado shake which was yum as well. Will definitely visit again!! Thanks for the food and great service..
Noodle is very much tasty and restaurant looks very clean! I would say it's a bit overpriced in general given the portion ($15). But the taste is really great
