About
This unassuming place in the busy Newtown offers authentic northern Vietnamese style foods. The place was all packed during a Sunday dinner but lucky we got to secure the last available table. I would recommend you to reserve in advance especially if you come in groups. Nice ambience but could be quite loud during peak hours. No fan/ac was turned on so that night our dining experience was humid and a tad hot. Food came quickly after we placed our orders and it has a good portion size. Bun rieu o

Emmm you can order this pungent crab and snail noodle soup here which would repel other patrons and flies. Plenty of salted snails and beef slices. The use of tomato wedges was a bit strange to me.

No fan/ac was turned on so that night our dining experience was humid and a tad hot. Food came quickly after we placed our orders and it has a good portion size. Bun rieu oc (snails vermicelli soup) surprisingly has a strong and pungent shrimp paste smell and taste which is authentic. Bun dau mam tom (vermicelli salad with fried tofu, young green rice patties & boiled pork dipping in shrimp paste sauce) also offers a traditional flavours to the plate. Nice experience overall but taste is a bit too salty for my preferences.
The food here is great - weโve come back a few times and tried different dishes, and everything has been delicious. Prices are reasonable too, especially for the location Since itโs a family-run place, there can be a bit of a wait during the dinner rush, but the staff are always really polite If youโre after authentic northern Vietnamese pho, this is definitely the spot - easily one of the best around
Best Vietnamese food in Sydney. Crispy chicken skin and juicy inside and mixed noodles are very yummy. Everything else is very good, can't complain about anything.
Little place in Newtown serving some real tasty and authentic Vietnamese fare. The place was teeming during Sunday lunch time, but we managed a table somehow. Service was no-nonsense and quick. No time for put on niceties. We tried the Pho Ga (Chicken noodle soup), the Pho Bo Sot Vang (red wine beef soup) and the spring rolls. Delicious. The red wine beef noodle soup was a revelation. The portion sizes are massive and you don't need to take out a bank loan to feast here.
