Newish springvale eatery that specialises in local dishes from Hue Vietnam. I've had a lot of viet…read morefood and thought I knew it all. I guess not!!! It took me time to go over the menu as I had never heard of some of the things / variations offered. I guess it is the regions take on some of the popular Viet dishes... There is a section on the menu for Kitchen's Specialisation... As I was going through this, the owner who looked like a reformed viet gangster came across and started talking to us. Nice guy.. :) Went for #137 (Bánh t), #5 (Banh Loc) .. and the broken rice on a hot plate. cus the dude suggested it. I told him that there is no where in Springvale that serves good Com Tam anymore.. and asked whats so special about his broken rice... he said try it... you wont regret. serving it on a sizzling plate tastes better he says... I couldnt agree more. The sizzling plate also makes the broken rice a bit harder at the bottom, almost like a claypot. Which was an interesting twist. The Pork.. I haven't had this good in a while. Not the best I have had as it still lacked the flame grilled flavour. But great all the same. Banh Loc - I've not tried this before... very similar to most of the "banh" style dishes but wrapped in banana leaf and not heavy. Banh Uot - is very similar to the normal banh cuon (translucent rice noodle rolls) that I am used to however this variety... the "uot" (opaque rice noodle rolls) which means wet banh uses a thicker noodle sheet as wrapper and the filler used was small amounts of pork. I think marinated grilled pork.. the 'cuon' uses those ear mushroom / fungus thingies. and the pork is finer. Arrrggg .. Anyway... bottom line... its frekn YUM! just go try it! :) and no I dont have shares there and the reformed gangster owner has not threatened my family or anything!! PS: the observation of the dude is in jest only! please dont track me down. :)

The side herbs given is a joke!! I small branch each person!! Am on to my second litre of water!! One year ago... this place seems to be getting a cult following. Pho is decent here and the table turnover is high so don't be put off by the crowd of people waiting out front. It only seats ~25 I'd say. Tiny space. So expect to be sharing tables during lunch rush. Broth tastes great. They pride themselves on supposed "no msg"??? Hard to believe but yeah I guess I wasn't thirsty afterwards. Soup is piping hot and full of flavour. Not high in aniseed. There's nothing I don't like here except for a lot of elbows touching.

A tiny place, not the best for a big group, but they definitely serve up a good bowl of pho!…read more Service is quick and people are in and out fast so the wait went pretty quickly (5-10 min), I came with a group of about 12 and we ended up getting split into about 3 tables. The menu on the walls is not in English, but I got a "small" bowl of the beef brisket pho. The amall bowl is actually pretty filling, I can't imagine what the large is like. Tender beef and plenty of rice noodles swimming in a bowl of the best pho broth I have ever had. Very savory, flavorful, and tasty, I can see how people eat this stuff so quickly. It's served with basil and bean sprouts and can be flavored further with chili sauce or chili oil or one of the other condiments they have on the table. They also serve it with a thermos of hot tea which was good for washing it down. By the time we finished eating there was a larger crowd waiting by the door, staring at us while we ate... You may be asked to share a table as it gets packed. Definitely a great place to stop by for a quick and delicious bowl of pho!

Have u ever done something that ur head just knows is wrong? But u still did it anyway!…read more Well this was one of those times that I wished I was at band camp instead. an almost empty restaurant on a busy Thur night should've given it away... It seemed like a gd idea at the time.. It was late and a bit of a chillie night.. n all the other places that were still open were packed.. Anyway checked out the menu.. Nothing out of the ordinary to try.. so just ordered the chillie beef noodles and the beef n chicken pho. both were MSG ed to the max! Well not that bad I've had worse in northern China! My mother taught me not to waste food otherwise would've just left it. Used an empty plate to take noodles out of soup to eat! *mental note* stick to pho joints that are clustered in the same area if want to try a new pho place. Bad ones don't survive!!

Service here was great. Food wise was good too but it depends on what you order. We ordered the…read morecoconut crusted prawns starter, the Saigon pho and Hanoi pho. The difference between the phos were that one came with chicken and the other beef. Our favourite dish of the order were the prawns starter. The prawns were just yum. Cooked just lightly to give it the golden brown colour while the prawn itself was sweet and tender. The pho noodle soups however were only average. Flavour wise a little plain and lacking. The order came to ~$50+ and for that you're really just paying for a nicer venue to dine in.
