Best Bahn Mi in Australia. I work locally and come here for lunch a couple of times a week. The pork crackling bahn mi is always perfect. All the staff are very friendly and the place is decorated in such a cool rustic way. When I get asked for suggestions on places to eat, this place is at the top of my list.

The Vietnamese food are better than the standard Vietnamese restaurant and have a good variety of dishes including búng riêu (crab vermicelli soup) and hủ tiếu lâm nam vang (combination pork noodles soup). Most restaurant I have been to onlu serve phở as a main dish so it was nice to try something different. The crab meat are stuck together instead of being easily broken off so I wasn't used to that. I preferred it being broken off when served, but otherwise both dishes met the standards. The atmosphere here is also really cool and I love the modern decor. If you're in the city, this is probably the go to Vietnamese restaurant. Regards @fooderarri

Amazing! Tried their pho dac biet (regular $17.90). Broth was rich and flavorful but the amount of ingredients seem to be lesser than expected for $17.90. I should have added another $2 for the large option. Great vibes in the restuarant too! Was reminded twice that the shop's lunch service closes at 3pm when we arrived at 2.30pm, that was fine.

I love the food, always so fresh and very tasty. A wide assortment of food on the menu from all parts of Vietnam. Funky atmosphere and decor, service very friendly and helpful.

Phonatic Restaurant on Hindley Street is a true gem in Adelaide's dining scene! This bustling Vietnamese eatery consistently draws crowds for good reason. The extensive menu offers an impressive variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes that satisfy both traditionalists and those new to the cuisine. Their pho bowls are enormous and brimming with fresh herbs, tender meat and flavorful broth. Despite the restaurant being packed (always a good sign!), the staff remained remarkably attentive and friendly, checking in regularly and offering helpful recommendations. The value for money is exceptional - you'll likely have leftovers to take home given their generous servings. If you're craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Adelaide with friendly service and portions that ensure you won't leave hungry, Phonatic is a must-visit spot on Hindley Street.
