It’s a humble establishment, but it’s neat, clean and tidy.
Went with the Beef Pho which looked delicious.
And it was, perfectly sliced beef, tasty broth and fresh noddles and sprouts.
Quick and friendly service as well.
And only $9, what great value!
Omg 😮!
Service 5/5 they are quick and polite!
It’s really fast 💨 💨 💨
That’s why they call themselves as ‘ Fast Pho’
Ambience: 4/5
There is a really local Vietnamese feeling and the room is quite spacious, bright and clean.
Food (Pho)
Special beef pho 🍲! 4.5/5
The waiting time is less than 2 minutes! The thin slice raw beef put into the hot special pho soup and serviced with chilli and spring sprouts. Excellent!
Crispy chicken noddle soup 🍜!
Quantity 5/5 quality 4/5 taste 3/5
Omg! It’s half or quarter chicken I suppose! And only $11! Really good deal! But the soup is non-taste... lol, no worry there are plenty of sauces you can choose.
It seems that there was a change of owner. The menu looks the same but quality went down little bit. But still good fast serving and recommend for lunch.
Most meals here are less $10. Even though recently $1 gone up, still really cheap.
I had combination noodle soup and spring roll. It is good for price.
Two words. Cheap. Consistent.
I have eaten here many times over the past 2 years and the meals are always consistently nice. I have tasted the pork chop rice, crispy skin chicken, pho, and vermicelli.
Every main here is between $8-10. The servings are large for what you pay. The taste is good enough and I always walk out of here satisfied.
Service is fairly quick. You walk in and sit down. You get a menu and order. Everything else is self service!
Onto some of the actual food...
Their pork chops are thin but still tasty and not fatty. I always am trying to get all the meat off the bone. The flavour is just right and the meat is cooked perfectly. My experience with some pork chops have been overcooked and hard to bite.
The special beef noodle soup is not full of flavour or fragrant like other places but that is made up by the amount of meat that comes with. The bowl is huge and you cannot argue with the price.
But for the price I would rate this a 3. :)

Take note that this is of course all based on my unqualified opinion!
My considerations: 1. Food 2. Value 3. Service 4. Atmosphere
Excellent cheap pho fix. You get a huge bowl of beef noodle soup for only $8! Have been here far too many times to count, and have taken almost all my friends here. The crispy chicken with tomato rice is also an excellent alternative when Sydney does get quite hot. Spring rolls do their job well. The rice paper rolls could be a bit more refined, but can't complain too much given the price. They give free fruit often too! The cash-only rule can be a nuisance at times, but seems to be a common theme in such places in Sydney.
Located on Mountain Street and close by to Broadway Shopping Centre. As the name suggests, they do pho 'fast'. Not only does your food come out quickly, it is great value for money.
I entered this place and it was slightly busy when I visited but it got quite busy with people looking for a cheap feed. Most meals here are $10 or less. They only accept cash only but perfectly understandable for the prices they were charging.
Had Spring Rolls ($5), Beef Noodle Soup ($8), and Vietnamese Ice Coffee ($3). All were tasty and decent food. Only quibble could be the noodles could've had more beef in it.
True to its name, let me tell you that Fast Pho serves up your dishes really fast! We never wait more than 5 minutes for our food. Nothing on the menu is over $10 making it the perfect go-to for affordable Vietnamese eats. Its location is also perfect to go to from uni or Central Station. The $8 beef noodle soup (pho) is super delish & another recommendation from me to you is the crispy chicken with tomato rice. That crispy chicken is probably the best I have ever had in Sydney and it is always so consistent!
I LOVE Fast Pho, I eat there 1-2 times a week. The food is delish and super fast, I mean it's not fine dining but it's what you need right now, trust me. It's healthy too - if you order the right stuff.
Beef Pho - The beef pho is my regular fav, would recommend ordering the 'raw' beef pho (note it's not on the menu and it costs a $1 more) $8
Duck Noodle Soup - The second best soup item on the menu, but boyfriend who usually gets this says its 'hearty' and warming and like a big hug $9
Vermicelli noodles with pork and spring rolls - Really delicious, make sure you pour the tangy sauce over the noodles or they're a little plain $11
Fried Chicken with Tomato Rice - This is my go to when I feel like something deep fried. I have to sadly say that the tomato rice isn't great though, chicken makes up to it. $9
Come here regularly. Pho to fast and tasty. Recommend sticking to the Pho. The other noodle soup dishes is not as good as other places. For the price it's very good value
Fast Pho lives up to its name and is indeed fast! (I swear we waited maybe 3 minutes max for our food) The beef pho for only $8 is truly a steal for a good, filling lunch. The soup base could be developed a bit more, as can the serving size compared to stores in the south west, but it was decent considering the price. Can't say much about the ambience considering I got takeaway, but it seemed friendly, albeit a little dark. The beef was a tad too overcooked for my liking, but I would still happily recommend this to anyone looking for a quick Vietnamese meal in their lunch break.
Possibly the best value restaurant in Sydney.
The staff are very friendly.
Could not find any faults.
Possibly except for the water machine haha.
The crispy chicken is so nice that I haven't had time to try the other dishes.
Cheap, quick and tasty! The beef pho is a steal at $8 and the tomato rice with chicken won't break the bank at $10. This is very good value for a decent and filling meal. I recommend the coconut juice as a sweet and refreshing accompaniment to your meal! My only gripe here is that it's another cash only place, so be warned to withdraw beforehand!
Great find in broadway for a good Pho fix. The broth of the Pho is tasty and has depth! Also try the grilled porkchop with tomato rice. The char grilled taste is simply beautiful. Been there twice in the last week.
I noticed this Pho place around the corner from where I worked and was slightly reluctant to give it a try knowing that a lot of these places are quite bad in quality due to its lack of authenticity. You can imagine my surprise and shock by how decent the Pho is here. I guess the other sign is that this place at luynch time gets its fair share of customers despite not being in the best location and among other food places as well. The Pho is quite on par with something you’d find in Cabramatta. Everything here is self service though… so at the counter you can grab your sauces (unlike at other places where the sauces are on the table) and there’s even boxes of tissues at the counter as well. The price is quite fair for what they’re offering and its also of a decent size as well. The service is polite enough.
Cheap and delicious pho. Quick cheap pho. The crispy chicken with tomato rice is also very delicious!
Fast Pho offers delicious, quick and cheap Vietnamese food with friendly service.
They live up to their name. The food is great and is prepared and served 'fast'! The staff are very polite and friendly and they always serve you with a smile.
Recommended. Delicious cheap fullfilling vietnamese food. What more do you want...
Delicious cheap eat!. I'm always lazy cooking dinner for my family and Fast Pho is just the perfect place for fast cheap eat. Their beef pho used to be $7 but at $8 it is still worth it. I love their crispy chicken!
Pho is good (beef, original and the best). Crispy chicken done well, just don't get it with noodles as it's not quite the right broth/noodles. Spring rolls are average. Lovely people who run it.
This place is amazing! The pho is fresh and only $7. Vermicelli is great too. I highly recommend this place... Amazing value!
Simple and yummy pho and Vietnamese Salad. Has vegetarian options. Cash only. Pretty cheap! Their service is very friendly and accommodating. A lot of variety in chili condiments. Their walls don't look dirty to me so maybe they were painted :)
Literally a new favourite restaurant.
I went there in the afternoon and the owner was taking a nap, but she still made this meal for me. Great service 🙂
I ordered Crispy Chicken Noodle, $11 for a good portion. Chicken is crispy and the noodle soup tastes nice.
Will definitely come back to try other options.
Honestly best & most authentic pho I’ve found in Ultimo 😍 so good & so cheap. Veg & tofu pho for $10.... yes please!!!!
I looked inside and saw large pictures of the dishes on the wall. I went in and was the only white person there which is a good sign. i had the pork soup and spring rolls and it was excellent ! look at the prices, very reasonable. Going back later this week, recommended. A very casual restaurant with excellent food. We live locally and my partner and I love this place. Quick and delicious food every single time. Nothing over $10 in the menu.
Hidden Gem! $8 for deliciously fresh Pho! Staff are friendly, food is great and prices are astounding what more could you want!? Its quite a small little restaurant however the food compensates for this! Gets very busy at peak times so get in quick! Have had nearly every item on the menu and continue to come back!
