I was craving pho at work near Alexandria and used Uber eat to deliver the goods. I am disappointed on the pho, it lacks flavour but it was edible, Although it was fresh and it came quick from the restaurant. The iced coffee was really good, I am impressed on how strong and sweet it was.
Not a bad vietnamese restaurant to go to if you are nearby. I chose this and almost all the food are well made. The grilled pork i love very much. Lots of salad, and also the bread roll is good. Reasonable price and lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Easy to park right in front of the restaurant.
I was on a lunch break and discovered this place, they make pretty nice beef noodle soups, i will try and get back at lunch time because i got to try the Vietnamese bread rolls, nice pho quick service friendly staff. 👍👍👍
Certainly one of my favourite casual Viet restaurants in Sydney. The dishes that we got: Special vermicelli salad $14. Rare beef pho (large) $13. Pork roll $6. Great quality food. Good ambiance. A decent amount of seating.
The pho had a tasty broth with lots of herbs (maybe cinnamon) and the beef was good but not rare enough. The rice paper rolls (with a great sauce) and Vietnamese iced coffee were better. Strangely, the basic pho is fairly cheap starting at $11 but everything else is standard Sydney Vietnamese pricing. Plenty of seating inside and out.
Pho is always my favorite dish of Vietnamese cuisine. I’ve been to Vietnam and the taste of the broth here is same par with Pho in Hanoi. Here also serve Northern Vietnamese dishes like Bun Cha Hanoi (grilled lemongrass pork in light sauce and serve with noodle and herbs)
I lived around the corner of this restaurant and everytime i go there i always get constantly good foods with friendly service. My favorite was grilled pork chops with fried rice
The crispy chicken pho was absolutely delightful, and excellent value for money. A bit out of the way for me but otherwise I'd definitely go back!

Photown is a hidden gem in Alexandria. It would be so easy to drive past and not realise that 1) it existed and that 2) given its location, it would serve delicious food befitting the weekend as it has the appearance of a weekday lunch spot for nearby workers.
Serving Vietnamese food, the menu is vast from banh mi (bread rolls with usually pork or chicken and salad), pho (beef noodle soup), other noodle dishes (such as laksa and bun bo hue) and vermicelli salads. What really caught my eye though was their specials board, which boasted of a new dish – ‘bun cha Hanoi’ which is basically a grilled pork vermicelli noodle salad with the meat left basking in a fish sauce dressing. It was served with vermicelli, bean sprouts, fresh herbs and pickled carrot. The meat was amazing – it had a slight charcoal flavour, was well marinated and after soaking in the fish sauce, was ridiculously delicious and juicy. Aside from grilled pork, there were also 2 pork meatballs in the bowl – they were peppery and nice, but not the star of the dish in the same way the grilled pork was. Overall, I’m keen to return to Photown and try some of their other dishes. A truly great find on the streets of Alexandria.

Great food quick service love this place! Eat here at least once a week and have tried many dishes from their menu, never disappointing always tastes fresh :)
I have been to this place many time, they have the best Pho and Banh Mi in the area. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. They also introduced new stewed beef Pho and crispy pork roll which are yummy too
The first Pho I ever had was from here and now Im hooked, there nothing better than having one of their crispy chicken Pho on a cold winters day. The only thing I will say is the opening hours are quite random and can be hit and miss at times
Delicious Pho. Everything I needed in a good beef pho. Super tasty and very flavoursome. It was easy to find and lots of parking nearby. The staff were very efficient and the lady (perhaps the owner?) was so friendly and welcoming. We will be back!
The best Vietnamese pork rolls! And such good value. The staff are friendly and even the little dog outside is pretty nice too (sneaking him a bit of pork seems to help!) We go here at least once a week. A real gem
Brilliant! Excellent food. The vermicelli is excellent and the vietnamese rolls are good too
Just like from the streets of Vietnam. The Food and Service here is just wonderful. I have been back phoooo many times since it first opened, for lunch and dinner, weekdays and weekends. Go to dish is the Crispy Chicken Pho!! But everything else I've had there has been fresh and tasty. Simple restaurant, inexpensive and friendliest smiles in Sydney. www.munchmunchmunch.com
I first visited Photown the day after they opened. Since then, I've been back many, many times. Why? It's simple: good, tasty, fresh food, served by the friendliest, sincerest, loveliest owners you could come across. My favourite dish is the eye-fillet diced beef (com bo luc lac), though all their dishes, including pho, are just yum. It's not flash or glitzy, and prices are very affordable for even the tightest budget. It'd be easy to walk or drive by this little gem completely by accident, but that would be a big mistake. Keep an eye out for it and make sure you try everything they have to offer. You won't be disappointed.
Great vietnamese food. Had the poached chicken pho and my partner had the beef pho, both very full of flavour and fresh. Also had the pork and prawn rice paper rolls which were fab. Good friendly service. Will definitely be back!
