3 days in a row. Bun Rue. Pho very different lighter soup than Queanbeyan Saigon or northern Viet Nam restaurants like Tudo which seem to cater more to western tastes by adding more MSG. They don't advertise hot green tea or jasmine tea but it is available. Family run restaurant it was full tables all the 3 lunch times I was there. Good sign when you see local Vietnamese customers there.
Food was pretty poor especially if you compare it to Vietnamese restaurants in Chatswood, Sydney. The presentation of the food was terrible, they didnโt even try to make it look good, the rice was crunchy for some reason and not properly cooked and the meat was undercooked for in the beef stir fry, would stay away from here, no wonder I was the only customer in the restaurant when I ate.
This is a true hidden gem. Very quiet and unassuming place. The staff are friendly. I got a chicken stir fry. It was delicious and huge. It had many different vegetables. Very happy with this place.
If you compare them with Sydneyโs Vietnamese restaurants, you will be disappointed. ๐ฌ Their pho broth was bland and the rice noodles were rough not silky. ๐ The grilled pork in Grilled Pork with Clear Rice Noodles was dry and hard. The clear rice noodles were stuck together made it very difficult to eat. ๐ The only positive thing about that dish is serving was big. The grilled pork covered the whole bowl but at the end of the day quality over quantity. ๐ We ordered Stuffed Boneless Chicken Wing for entree. You only get 1 piece for $10. The stuffing was dry, same problem with the grilled pork. The stuffed chicken wing came with a Thai sweet chilli sauce was very unauthentic, fish sauce would be more appropriate. ๐คจ Food price was on a high side. They charge $20 for an ordinary bowl of noodle. It seems they are running a family business as a little boy took our order without any smile on his face. He was probably thinking why all his friends were playing outside on a Saturday but he got stuck in his parentsโ shop serving customers. The younger teenage girl brought out the food was more polite with a professional manner. ๐
An unassuming place for good Vietnamese cuisine. Enjoyed their noodle soup and stir fry. Ample portions, you will never leave hungry. Host was super friendly and ready to help. Street parking available but you have to plan a bit as it gets busy during rush hours. If you like good Vietnamese food give Pho a try you won't regret it.
