I was surprised to find out I haven’t blogged Madame Nhu’s before. Like it’s sister restaurant Xage on Crown Street, which has now become an Asian fusion pasta bar, it’s been around for a long time, making dependably delicious Vietnamese food. If I’m alone, I’d go for the pho, but it was good to be out with a friend this particular evening, and split a serve of their delicious summer rolls, partake in their steamed chicken, and we also had an interesting dish, not pictured, with beef and crispy sweet potatoes.
I loved Madame Nhu. As I approached, from the street on a wet night, it looked warm and welcoming. The decor is relaxed and inviting. The staff all smiles. I was on my own and seated at a comfy spot in the lower dining area. The place was buzzing, service was fast and always with a smile. I had the vermicelli salad with veggie spring rolls and a glass of house white. The salad was packed with flavour, the herbs looked and tasted like they’d just been picked. The net spring rolls hot, crunchy and super tasty. I’d like to up the veggies and reduce the noodles but not a big deal. Everyone looked to be enjoying their meals. I’ll return when I’m back in Sydney. Go there !
I have never eaten a better pho before. Everything were so delicious. The staff was helpful and lovely. I wish I was living in Sydney. I would go there every week.
Came here on a weekday night and omg it was still packed. At first I walked in with 3 friends and thought this restaurant was bit too small but it wasn’t actually bad. Waiters are very careful when they walk pass each table so they don’t bump into any customers. Food came out very fast even though the restaurant was full.
Would definitely come back.
Definitely a tastey broth!

This beef pho Saigon style is the bomb.com!
Beef broth was tasty, yummy and very addictive, perfect for lunch on cold Sydney day!
I choose no 23 from the menu, beef portion was generous and serving just right, not too small nor too big!
The side dish to accompanied this pho was fresh been sprouts and some Vietnamese basil leaves, wedge of lemon and green chilli.
All this condiment was goes well and basil leaves bring some more aromatic fragrance to the soup.
Place was packed during lunch time, service was quick and friendly!
This is one of those places that not only serve delicious pho but also have a cozy ambience to share a red wine with one’s friends. The staff is just lovely and their pho “collection” is full of variety. Spice level can be altered per request and the restaurant by corner has two floors for seating. It’s usually crowded during lunchtime due to offices nearby but early dinner serves as a nice night out.
Dined at Madame Nhu on a Sunday night and after a big weekend we were looking for a light and healthy dinner! Half of the restaurant was shut off with only the downstairs operating but still a fun, intimate setting! We shared fresh summer prawn rolls, banh mi chicken slider and spicy pho vegetarian option with added tofu (and asked for not too spicy). Without a doubt, the standout dish was the pho! So warming on a cold night and possibly enough for 2 to share easily! Madame Nhu has been feeding Sydneysiders since 2007 and it is easy to see why this place is so popular!
Delicious, fresh and great variety. Madame Nhu is a bustling hub of life as you walk through the front door. We ordered the prawn rice rolls, lotus stem salad and slow cooked chicken with ginger rice. Would’ve been nicer if the lotus stem salad had more lotus stem, otherwise the ginger rice was the high light!
Absolutely love their pho here. I wish they delivered! It’s a very savoury tasting broth which I love, not too sweet. The spicy one I am yet to try but it looks awesome too
It was such a lovely delicious dinner.
Beef curry excellent.
Crispy Chicken really good!
Service was fun. Girls were not so busy as it was a very quiet night so we felt like Royalty..
Thank you Madame Nhu
THANK YOU for this AMAZING LUNCH!!!
We both had the signature pho, I choose the spicy version. The meat was super good and the broth was tasty and not too salty! We loved every single bite of it.
The service was perfect and polite.
We also took a coconut juice which was very tasty and made for a good desert.
Amazing food, amazing service, real value for money! These guys deserve a tip!!!!
You get more for what you pay for. You can’t go wrong with a delicious Pho and Madame Nhu knows just how to make your tastebuds happy!
