The environment is pretty aweful , pretty dark and filthy . Waited for half an hour still no food and I ended up late for work. The taste of the food is below average but it’s so far the best in geelong . if you compare it with the pho restaurants in Melbourne it’s really not good .
The dinning area is smoky like in the kitchen .no fresh chill
I think this restaurant has changed management, as it’s now charmingly run by a sister and brother duo. Popped in for lunch today after a train trip from melbourne and a short hunt for lunch. In the mood for some sliced beef pho, I ordered a bowl along with a serving of prawn and pork rice paper rolls.
I’ve eaten ALOT of pho and a measure of good broth is flavour (without it being overpoweringly salty) and clarity (without it being cloudy). The broth was some of the best I’ve had, and the flavour was amazing, which helped carry the fresh ingredients. The rice paper rolls were similarly fresh with a yummy dipping sauce.
Would definitely be back if in the area again.
Amazing food! So authentic, spring rolls are just like you get in Vietnam.
Don’t judge a book by its cover because the food is so delicious.
I was dying for Asian food and this really hit the spot!! Definitely recommend the pho! My only recommendation is use FISH sauce for the spring roll instead of sweet sour sauce~
No fresh herbs with my Pho? Really?
The beef broth was overly salty and mono-dimensional. It had no resemblance to the balance and subtlety of a fine, restorative complex broth. The rice noodles were all broken up to about the length of matches and were texturally indistinct.
The Bean shoots looked slimy and in need of at least rinse, and again no herbs Really?
The rice paper rolls were so tough (fridge cold?) and with no herbs within the Vegetarian rolls, just Vermicelli, carrot, iceberg and a tiny amount of tofu they were so disappointing.
It just seemed like the food was prepared without effort or care and left the table disappointed.
Hate to sound like a broken record but where were the herbs?
Cant see myself returning or recommending. Super mediocre.
Having tried many Vietnamese restaurants in my lifetime, the portions served here are one of the smallest that I’ve ever seen for similar prices. The basil and bean sprouts given along with the Pho don’t look fresh and I feel like they may be reused. Not the very best Pho I’ve tasted but enough to settle the cravings.
Food sizes are too small.. I love Vietnamese food and I went tonight and ordered ‘sweet and sour pork’. When i returned home i found that there was 1/4 pork (no vegetables) and 3/4 rice in the container for $11!
A few vegetables would have been fine however to have 3/4 rice was a joke. I’ve eaten ‘sweet and sour’ from almost all Asian restaurants in Geelong and this was by far the most disappointing.
Owner- you should have just said sorry and given me some more pork in my ‘sweet and sour’. That’s all i really wanted.
