Pho S.a

This store is quite big so if you have a big group it's great to visit here. This place is fairly quiet compared to other stores. Service was excellent and the pho was served really quick, other foods usually take a little more time but it's worth the wait. Food is really good and flavourful, they have condiments on the side, so you can add those if you are finding it a little off balance for your palate. Everything was good overall and we enjoyed it.

If you like pho as served in traditional Vietnamese eateries since the arrival Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s, you will always be looking for tender, moist and mouth wateringly flavourful streaky beef brisket to go with your pho. In recent years due to the spike in popularity of Vietnamese street food, the ubiquitous appearance of Banh Mi, Bun bowl and Pho eateries at every street corner has resulted in 2 types of Vietnamese eateries. The contemporary modern type and the traditional type. Pho SA, like all the other modern Vietnamese eateries, offers beef pho where the beef brisket is 100% lean, and boiled to dry, stringy, insipid tastelessness. Pho, even with a good broth, is not pho without top quality beef on top. If you like pho like they used to serve it, I would recommend Khangs Noodles, Yen Linh and Pho Minh. All are located in the Vietnamese enclaves where the natives are not satisfied with anything but the best.

Ordered a large bowl Pho brisket (beef noodle soup), $13.50. Over-priced. Not that big to me if comparing to most Vietnamese restaurants around the world. Guess more soup than the bites. Didn’t feel full like how I would usually be for a large bowl of Pho Bo. I find the soup kinda salty, not tasty broth overall. Service was fine and fast. Was there around 6.45pm, no issue with getting a table. In fact many tables were available.
