Good Pho U — Restaurant in Adelaide

Good Pho U on Kensington Road, across from the Errindale Shopping Centre has been here for some time, but the first time I've managed to pop in for some early dinner. The rare beef pho comes highly recommended, but I opted for the Lemon Grass Chicken with Broken Rice. It came with nuoc mam dipping sauce and a clear chicken broth - ala Hinanese chicken rice (style), and was delicious. Prices were on par with other Vietnamese restaurants in the inner suburbs, but expensive when rated against Vietnamese restaurants in Vietnamese populated areas, but I guess this is to be expected. The shop looked like it pumped out some seriously great tasting food, but it looked somewhat dirty. There was no discernible menu for me to find, so I had to ask if they did chicken rice. I decided to eat in and sat next to one of a number of uncleaned tables with buzzing flies, it was late afternoon, and it wasn't like the place was busy, they should be cleaning tables. Additionally, they don't bring the meal to the table, they just yell when your order is ready and you go up and collect it, along with your cutlery and uncovered, dry and fly buzzed condiments.

The food was really good, however, the restaurant felt unclean and clearing tables should be a priority, as it's the very first thing you notice when you walk in - extra stars off!

Tried 3 different takeaway Pho tonight and some cold rolls. We loved all of it. My kids loved their number 1, I got a 9 & my husband got 6. So much food and it was so cheap. The pork in mine was soooo tasty. The satay dipping sauce with the cold rolls is delicious, and the cold rolls are way better than any I've had. Good Pho U is definitely on our list of takeaways from now on. We really wanted something like this as our toddlers love noodles & soup! And because it's winter, we're sick often and need this comforting food. Tried it on a recommendation from a colleague at husbands work (chef). Husband said they made it all fresh in front of him and he seemed very impressed (which is rare). He took our 3yo son & he thinks the lady who served them was just fantastic. Thanks for the great meal, looking forward to tasting more of your food and finding...

Yum! Really really yum! The pork roll, whilst lacking pate (not sure if it's an option) is still one tasty roll... a bit stalky with the amount of coriander stalks, but I don't mind it, I get why some might not agree... Whilst not overflowing with pork, the roll still allows for all the other flavours to be present.. am easily able to slot this roll in my top 5 in Adelaide. Glad we've moved into the area!

The pho, whilst not overly flavourful as some I've had in the past, still presents well and is quite filling. My takeaway didn't come with hoisin or chilli sauce, but luckily I had some at home and was able to add to the pho, and it took it to another level.... very, very yummy pho...

Well done! Am going...
