Pho and the chilli oil are the stars here. Great Vietnamese for the Clayton locals with ample car parking lot out the back.
SERVICE: 4/5
Waitress was attentive and always checking in that we were okay. The older gentleman behind the register who I presumed was the owner filled in anywhere he saw where help was needed whether taking orders, bringing out food etc. Service was pleasant throughout and would happily return.
FOOD: 4/5
Growing up with Springvale food, I wasn’t sure about a lone Vietnamese restaurant in Clayton where it is mainly known for Indian or most recently, Chinese fare.
After reading reviews about the pho here I was happy that it lived up to the expectation!
Pho Dac Biet – available in two sizes but the large not being THAT large so grab that size unless you’re not very hungry. The broth was steaming hot and a beautiful depth of flavour. Whenever it’s this tasty, I always contemplate whether to add any sauces…but of course I have to. The condiment station on every table is complete and CLEAN! That chilli oil was so good I couldn’t stop lathering it on everything! Plenty of noodles and beef in the bowl as well, very happy girl here!
Seafood Fried Rice – pleasantly surprised how tasty this was as it came out looking so bland. It had the fabulous wok flavour and saltiness from the seafood although I will say that it only consisted of some prawns and diced fish cakes. Either way, with copious amounts of that chilli oil – I finished the whole lot.
Spicy Salt Calamari – least favourite dish of the day. It definitely didn’t look like the picture. The batter was so dense that it was almost rubbery in texture. The photo looked like delicate rice flour dusted calamari which this was not.
DECOR & AMBIENCE: 4/5
I appreciated the spacious dining area that was clean and although stereotypical to have food photos on the wall, I do like to see the dishes when ordering. I would be happy to take my family here for a meal.
KID FRIENDLY: Definitely yes, plenty of space and comfortable environment for a family meal out.
Had been meaning to come here for a long time and was not dissatisfied in the least. Head waitress was very pleasant and explained the menu options with patience. Menu quite various with lots of pictures to aid selection. Food arrived promptly and Very fresh and well presented. Will definitely come again and recommend to others! So many tasty options to try!
