Husband wants to try viet, we are from USA Los Angeles, so we want to try and compared. Never had phổ Bồ ga before even in Los Angeles or Viet Nam.. doesn't taste different except just the chicken inside, should be beef broth. Service is good but very basic restaurant, and dated. read more

Pho Gia Hoi - Pho Bo ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Nice to find a good pho spot here down under. We came upon this spot after a bit of internet searching. It was quite busy for a late afternoon, a good sign for a good hotpot and lots of Asians inside, made it look more legit. We all got the beef pho, it was tasty as usual, a nice soup base broth. The usual veggies to make it more balance and the sriracha, hoisin and chili to make it even more flavorful. read more

Not as good as I'd like it to be. The service is efficient but it's different from Canada - people here don't work for tips so don't expect them to wait on you. I got grilled pork chop on rice - the portion was huge and was nicely plated. However, the meat was super dry and had minimal lemongrass flavour. I liked that their chilli was actually chopped up chilli pieces. Just an FYI, there's a 50 cents charge if you get a takeout container - something I'm not used to in Canada read more

What a great find. If you are hungry in the morning, head over to haymarket area (Chinatown, Korean town and Thai town) and stores are open and there are choices. I saved this Vietnamese restaurant in my Yelp and Trip advisor account. This Vietnamese restaurant is a things up. The bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) had the right vegetables and the soup was flavorful. You can ask for free hot tea. read more

The food here is OK, but certainly not for the price tag. Average, about $15. The food came and just looked bad, even for Vietnamese. My drink arrived after i had already finished my meal, 30min later. I will not eat here again. At least not voluntarily. I'd rather Go to MacDonalds. The meals are under $10. And they are everywhere. read more

I completely agree with others, that this is a great no-frills place for excellent pho!! For those from out of town, some of the pictures seem to be of a different location; the one on George street is a store front, not in a mall, and isn't anywhere near as fancy as some of the pictures. We all had the cooked beef pho which was perfect for the somewhat chilly, damp day outside. The broth is made in house per the story on the wall, and based on what I tasted, I tend to believe them! The portions are as huge as others have described, so I really doubt anyone will leave hungry! We also had some of the spring rolls which were good as well, but the pho is the star! One slightly quirky thing; instead of extra plates for appetizers that will be shared (such as spring rolls), and instead of paper napkins or paper towels, they put boxes of kleenex on each table. At first I thought the kleenex was for runny noses from warm, spicy dishes, but it became apparent that this was to be a multi-purpose box of tissues. My advice...do NOT put a springroll on a tissue unless you'd like to eat tissue with your springrolls! Might not be a bad idea to bring some paper towels or napkins from elsewhere when dining here. read more

Pho Gia Hoi - Cooked beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Went to Chinatown this evening to find some good Asian and walked by many restaurants but decided on this one. Smaller, more intimate, and not terribly busy (maybe 50%). After we were seated it took quite some time for us to get menus but a table next to us was seated well after us and they got menus immediately. By the time I was able to get someone's attention for a menu, the table next to us had their food coming out. So we ordered. I ordered the #81, pork vermicelli with spring rolls. My partner ordered his meal at the same time but his was very similar (noodles, pork, etc) but his came out within 5-6 minutes. I waited, too patiently, for mine and finally after my dining partner took his last bite I flagged someone down and there seemed to be total confusion. I told them I didn't want to wait and I'd rather have soup, which I picked the chicken noodle soup. After about 3 minutes my original order came out!? Anyway, I didn't think the food was really very good. I expected grilled pork and got pork patties (similar to breakfast pork patties). I ate half and was done. Wouldn't recommend personally. Have eaten at many (many) Vietnamese restaurants in Europe, Sweden, Germany, etc., and never seen a similar plate so maybe they just do things differently down unda. read more

Three friends and I stumbled upon this place around 9, after strolling around Darling Harbour. It wasn't busy but I'm sure it's more crowded in the daytime, especially since it's in a mall. I ordered the vermicelli with spring rolls ($13), which is my go-to dish at Vietnamese restaurants. It's a little different than the food I'm used to having in the Viet restaurants in Brooklyn, but it was pretty good. The service was kind of bad though. Each time we tried to get the waiter's attention (or he could have been the owner - he had that boss attitude about him, and not in a good way), it took at least two tries until he finally decided to look in our direction. It's like he couldn't be bothered with our petty requests. They messed up my friend's order, brought it back and it still wasn't right. But at that point, she was so hungry that she didn't even care anymore and just ate it. My advice? Get the food to go (if possible). That way, you can get the food without having to deal with the service. read more

Craving on Vietnamese food, so I decided to have Bun Dac Biet for the second time this week. The dish is consist of pork meat ball, shredded 18701590786pork, minced prawns, grill pork, spring roll and rice vermicelli, on top of that fried onion to make your taste bud goes wild! It will cost you $14, but hey it's cheaper than go to vendor by the side road in Hanoi (plane ticket already cost to you $800 .. ) The dish bring back memories of my food journey while I was travelled to Vietnam earlier this year. Flavor as good as I experienced back in Hanoi, I wish also they serve egg coffee.. I did order durian and avocado shake.. Oh my.. So good I have to order 1 more for take away.... I'm happy with over all experience, less than $20, and not bad for food and drink they are serving read more

Great pho place, just follow the orange brick road... My cousin took me her when I first moved to Sydney. She loves Vietnamese food so I trust her taste in most food. This place is very orange - all the decor - and the wait staff all wear bright orange shirts. We ordered the Rare Steak Pho and it was pretty tasty! The rice paper rolls are also nice. Tried the Buong Bao Wei - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and its also good. Would say one of the better pho places in the city. read more

This is becoming my preferred franchise for Viet spciy beef noodle soup in Sydney. The other branches include Canley Heights and Eastwood. The house special is Bun Bo Hue - spicy beef vermicelli soup. Although nothing ever compares to mum's version, Pho Gia Hoi is a decent alternative. The broth is flavorsome and full of goodies like and the plate of vegetables include herbs, shredded cabbage and lettuce. At $12 for a large bowl, it's a good meal especially on a cooler night or those harsh winter days in Sydney. I have tried a few of the entrees at this place including the spring rolls and rice paper rolls and have to say they are ordinary at best. The rice dishes aren't bad but I really don't rate the Pho at all. Stick to the house special is my suggestion. Service is fast and efficient however the kitchen does get backed up during peak periods for certain dishes. Stick with the noodle soups and you'll get your food pretty quick. Like most Asian 'fast food' joints, do not expect your food to come out at one hit or in any particular order if you're dining with a group. Just eat when your dish comes out instead of waiting for the others as your meal will get cold! read more

In one word? Yummylicious!! I came here a day after trying the next door Pasteur, and what a difference! The good reviews don't lie. This place is a little gem, with super fresh ingredients and tasty Vietnamese food. I ordered the prawn and pork rolls rolled up in moist rice paper, they were perfect. It was hard to put them down. What was cool here is that unlike some places, you can order just 2 for $5 and not be stuck with extra food and pay extra when you're just one person dining. I also got the raw beef soup. It was a treat. Although the broth was not what I'm used to, it was still very nice, and the beef was so tender and fresh! The fixings you get - bean sprouts etc, we're all very fresh as well, as you would expect from a good Vietnamese pho place. I saw they have some interesting drinks here but I didn't try any because I felt like having a coffee rather, however, others do recommends their shakes and beverages. The prices are very fair as well, all across the menu. One person will spend no more than $20 AUD here for a starter + main. Bring cash. Good experience overall, glad I came by to fix the bad taste left by the next door spot. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is my personal all time favorite in Montreal (Canada) -- the ever amazing Pho Lien! Try it if you're in Montreal, it's on Côte des Neiges boulevard. read more

The only good meal here is pho. A little bit disappointed. But in downtown they are best.

Been in Sydney only for one full day and missed the Los Angeles Vietnamese food. Had to stop by Chinatown in Sydney to try the highest rated Vietnamese restaurant and found it to be good but not great like Los Angeles, CA. However, this place will do. I had the Pho and my wife had he wonton soup and both are ok. In any Asian establishment, never expect great service and this location is one of them. It is busy during the lunch rush and it could be a 15-20 mins wait if you have time. Would give it between 2-3 stars if this restaurant is in LA. Would not recommend going out of your way to stop by here, however, if you are walking distance and walk pass this site, stop by. read more

Amazing!!! Great price, great help. Fresh ingredients. Fresh condiments. Great coffee & tea. The bun bo hue dac biet was super good and they even offered to make it less spicy but it was perfect with a nice cold one. The staff showed us how to properly eat and very politely waited to see if my friend and I needed any further assistance. Authentic food from my Vietnam experience. read more

I like this place for the Bun Bo Hue (the Spicier cousin for the Pho/Beef Noodle Soup) as this is one of the few places in Chinatown that serve it. It's a nice alternative to have Pho right in the city which is good for city workers, and out of town visitors. Pricing is decent and portions is plentiful. read more

Delicious food with good service and reasonable price! Highly recommended! It is a very clean restaurant and toilet is clean as well! read more

This place is right next to the Pyrmont bridge, right at the entrance of the harbourside mall. They serve hot tea on the table, so you can just pour yourself. This place gets busy when there is an event in the area. Overall the food is okay. Not good, but not too bad too. Nothing really stands out! Oh... Forgot to mention, this place provide a good range of sauce on the table with hot sauce, chill oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, hoisin sauce, and peanut sauce!!! read more

Pho Gia Hoi - Special Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Disgraceful to Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the special broken rice with pork chops and fried egg today, not only did it take 1 hour and a half to prepare but also when it was delivered the quality was unexpectedly shameful. Rice was very very hard I feel like it scratched my gums and was literally impossible to chew properly, feels like it has been in the fridge for days and weren't heated thoroughly. Pork chops came in 3 small pieces, dry and hard as well. I couldn't finish because I would indeed break my jaws if I continue. I haven't left a bad review to a restaurant before but this is indeed my worst experience, would not recommend. read more

In a nutshell, if you are looking for good, cheap, no-frills Vietnamese food, then look no further. This place is awesome! Not just to reiterate, this is no-frills kind of place. So if you are looking for a nice place to seat with views - then do not come here. But if you want really good Vietnamese, and don't want to pay ridiculous prices, then trust me look no further. Having a large selection of dishes, each one being a big size portion you won't complain. Most of the dishes average around $12. And I promise you are going to get your money's worth and more. But because it is cheap and good, this place is sometimes popular. So it might be hard to get a table. If you are unsure what to order, get the Bun Dac Biet, which is vermicelli with everything on top. Also, if you are feeling adventurous they have an assortment of shakes. If you want different, they have an avocado shake - which is like having a guacamole shake. So come and try this place you will not regret it. read more

3.5 - extra half star for value compared to lunch prices nearby. $6.50 for a decent sized roll and a drink. I wish the meat was warm or kept warm - I think that would make the banh mi sandwiches better. The bread roll is quite good - nice and crispy toasted, but also not warm. The vegetables they use in the sandwiches are pretty fresh tasting, which I guess makes this a relatively healthier fast food option than the others. Overall, not the best banh mi ever, but quite decent and satisfying! read more

The food was pretty bad on Sundays. we ordered some soup and ended up having an upset stomach after. Staff weren't really friendly. Having said that, the food selection was good. Food came out really quickly. Affordable with the right amount of meat. read more

Largest mediocre pho I've had. I got the make our won combo , crispy chicken and rice noodle. While the chicken was crispy and flavorful it was a bit on the cool side, obviously precooked, chilled and fried. The soup was bland and probably just canned stock with bits of onion, no other aromatics. Was definitely missing the anise and cinnamon flavor I'm used to, could also use more greens. read more

I decided to try a standard pho noodle soup here on my first meal in Australia. It was okay but I've definitely had much better before. At least the service was efficient and prompt which is great for a restaurant like this. Interior decor is simple and gets the job done. I liked the added touch of hot tea on the side of the table which you can pour yourself. Hopefully I can find a better Vietnamese restaurant soon, but if not this will have to do. read more

Grew up with a Cambodian mother and a Vietnamese dad so I know what authentic South-East Asian dishes should taste like. Homesick during a 3 month stay in Canberra, AU - I decided to venture out for some South-East Asian comfort food. Pho - most places lack the essential ingredient of ox-tail. And most do not even let the broth stew overnight. Most places I've tried in Australia lack a flavorful broth and you must rely on hot sauce (Sriracha)/hosin sauce/and lime wedges to have a decent bowl. This place was one of them. The appetizers somewhat made up for the lack of a flavorful brother. It is enough to get by but definitely not a suitable replacement for good authentic pho. read more

Absolutely cheap and good! A big bowl of beef rice noodle only costs you $12, which can be $15 in other stores. So does the crispy chicken rice noodle. The tastes are good, with soft rice noodle, well cut beef and crispy chicken. The foods are full of Vietnamese tastes which I can easily tell, and I like them. read more

Pho Gia Hoi in Eastwood is one of my favourite places to eat at and I was expecting the same quality here, or even better as this is the older and more established one. I ordered my usual crispy skin chicken with the orange rice and both the chicken and rice were very bland compared to the same dish served at the Eastwood branch. The complementary tea was tasteless too, it was like drinking plain hot water. The only plus I can give was they gave my friend a bowl of their soup/broth when she asked even though it was not meant to be part of what she ordered. I hear the pork rolls here are pretty good but I think they are only available during the day. read more

ive been here about 47 times in the last 10 months. i only ever get the vermicelli with pork and pork rolls; it's delicious, it's inexpensive, and it fills my american stomach. what more can you ask for? to be honest, though, i just learned the name of this place. i usually only look for the orange sign and bright-coloured interior. if they ever changed colours, then i would probably never find it again :( highly recommended if you are around and looking for a quickly-served feast. read more

One of my 'go-to' pho restaurants in the city, customer service is great, food is good. There's not much else to complain about to be honest, this restaurant is only getting a 4 stars just because of it's interior is a bit... Less classier? Than others. But yeah, would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Food is solid. 4.5/5 for the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup). 4/5 for the com thit nuong (rice w/ pork). A bit over priced. $5 for a banh mi (sandwich)? Hmm don't think so - should be $2-3. Would definitely come back since there aren't really THAT many options around and it's actually decent. *sigh* take me back to Little Saigon (in LA). read more

After the Vietnam noodles I used to love to visit was closed and then I found this one. Worth to have lasting taste for it

Disappointed. The bun rieu noodles (crab noodle soup) had no crab at all. The broth was thin and lacked any complexity. For the pho, the noodles were flatter and thicker than what I expected. read more

We call it the orange place. And really - that's what it is - as well as a restaurant. This franchise serves very passable Vietnamese fare at very good prices. If you're walking by, like Vietnamese food and are hungry then there should be nothing but deeply entrenched food-racism from restricting your entry. I suggest anything on the menu. I did ask a number of Vietnamese friends who have frequented the place whether it was traditional and pleasing to the palette of an expert - but they've all stopped talking to me now. Interpret that as you will. read more

Price is quite the same with Pho Pasteur but then quantity is much higher. Just 1 bowl of Pho and I am so full. They also have a more variety of traditional Vietnamese noodle which remind of my hometown. I gotta taste all in their menu ! read more
