    Whenever I have Vietnamese I always make a joke, being the humorous guy that I am, and I say, "What? We're getting Pho Soup? Why not get real soup!" I know, hilarious! I thought so. (Pho because it sounds like faux which means fake.) Just in case you didn't get it. I got it. I think it's hilarious! So we met up for some Vietnamese, myself and some school friends and we went to a place in Newtown called Pho 236. We sat down at the table in the homely settings, white tiles and white walls. It's a 'nothing fancy, but the food was good', type place and we sat and drank water and then when the waitress approached, we ordered. We caught up on what we were each doing, as we ate and some drank our Pho. We laughed (laughed at personal things, I don't think anyone laughed at my pho joke... I did.) and then it was time to leave. The pho was really delicious and the service was prompt. It's a very simple layout and a good place for friends. And if you go, feel free to use my cracker of a joke, you're sure to be a hit.

    Order placed ...... now we wait !

    Excellent and cheap pho! Especially with healthy addition of the bright red chiles in little bowls on the tables.

    Cheap and really really bad food. Full of GMS and all the nastiness you may want to eat perhaps after a heavy hangover or while drunk.

    Made reservations online. We were 30 mins early and they were able to accommodate us as they…read morealready had a table saved for us. They're located in the world square shopping center. Scan the QR code in the table and place your order through your phone. The food was prepared quickly and brought to our table in less than 15mins. Everything was great except there was too club batter on the calamari rings. I have a low tolerance for heat and I can say that kung pao chicken was not spicy but the spicy dumplings were a little too spicy for me. Definitely recommend the truffle fried rice, pork dumpling, and kung pao chicken.

    The Din Tai Fung name is very big in the states. I hear about it from friends but have never tried…read moreit. During this trip, I happened to want soup dumplings so thought this would be a good time to try. My husband and I were there as soon as it opened so had no issues getting seated right away. Ordering was very easy. I just scan a QR code and can place my order online. For food, we made to sure to get soup dumplings (xiao long bao). We also got shrimp and pork dumplings and one with Sichuan Mala flavor. For the sides we got some garlic stir fried veggies. I thought all the dumplings were okay in taste, flavor, and texture. I really was not a fan of the Sichuan Mala one. It was gamey in taste. It actually made me think I was eating lamb instead of pork. Veggies were standard. This is a place I can say I've tried but don't plan to try another one.
