Weโve tasted ALOT of Pho Bo, from North to South Vietnam and this was decent. Northern style, clean clear broth. Flavorful. The rare beef, although visually unappealing, when separated was very tender. Nicely presented with a side of Thai Basil, bean sprouts, fresh chilli and fresh lime. The serving size was larger than a typical size in Vietnam, some would say on the smaller size here in Australia but perfect size for us. The only thing we would critique is the rice noodles. Prefer fresh noodle versus packet which was almost translucent versus strong white. They just arenโt as tasty and have a different texture. Service was fast although it was very busy. Will most definitely return for the Pho and keen to try some other dishes we saw come out. Recommend :-)
Food is good, but if you order pickup via their website, be aware of the wait time. I ordered for pick up at 7:30pm. They didnโt start preparing until I was there to pick up resulting in further wait time (around 20mins extra wait).
This is usually a really good local option for some cafe style viet food. Tonight though is a bit disappointing. The duck maryland was very bland. The sauce was tasteless & there should have been more of it. The presentation was nice though. The special pho was just ok but really lacked the depth of flavour you'd expect from this classic Vietnamese dish. It's not terrible or anything but just kinda underwhelming. Again the presentation was nice enough. Spring rolls are homemade which I appreciate & not bad but again lacking seasoning & flavour. The sticky rice dessert was lacking as well. The food altogether was just not what it was last year. Its a shame & I hope they can get back to where they were before. The restaurant is not nearly as busy as it once was. Also the service is speedy but just not very pleasant. You shouldn't roll your eyes for a simple table change request. & berating the junior staff in front of customers just leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Junior staff member was fast & very polite. Overall just a bit disappointing tonight but I still have hope for this place and will still probably give it another go
Seems to be a really popular hangout place and was highly recommended by locals. Went for a dinner and wasn't disappointed. We ordered a cooked beaf pho, a raw beaf pho and a raw papaya salad. The salad was light and refreshing. The pho was quite bland, piping hot, hearty and made for a very comforting meal. The portion size was on the bigger side. Had a very relaxed and comfortable experience. Looking forward to eating here again!
Good potion size. Taste good. Pretty much the best Vietnamese restaurant in Townsville at the end of 2019 early 2020. Iโve been recommended this shop to people at work (no complaints so far). I really hope they donโt start cutting the herbs and veggie portions in their dishes like most restaurants I see in North QLD. Vietnamese cuisine relies heavily the wide varieties of herbs and veggies. Cutting them will drastically change the flavour profile. I donโt want another generic Asian food shop, thanks.
