PHO MINH — Restaurant in Adelaide

The food and drinks here is really good and very fulfilling. But aside from the food and drinks, the actual restaurant is pretty bad in terms of hygiene.

There was a lot of food on the ground such as greens, tissues and even meat. I was wearing white shoes so it was pretty hard to keep my shoes clean as the ground was really dirty. When sitting down, there was food under the table near my feet so i had to put my feet in an uncomfortable position the whole time to avoid stepping on something. Not only that, but the tables aren’t cleaned properly. Once sitting down at a table, you could see some oil and parts of food on the table still and even on the sides of the table.

When trying to move my bowl of phở closer to me, a lot of oil and grease went onto my fingers from the sides of the bowl but luckily the chopsticks weren’t as dirty. Yes, the oil and grease could’ve been from the broth of the phở but I’m pretty sure it was from the bowl itself.

There’s more to it but overall, the hygiene isn’t the greatest.

Please keep in mind that I’ve been here multiple times before so it isn’t just a one time thing,...

My friends love this place, they almost come here every week. So when I caught up with them today, they recommended the place to me.

When we arrived at around 11:30am, there was a line outside already. While we were waiting outside, the lady gave us a menu to look at and ordered the food from outside. When it was our turn to sit at the table, the vegetables came almost straight away. We all ordered a pho. And the pho came pretty quickly too.

The vegetables were for 3 people, it was just enough for us and they were very fresh. Pho has a good size. The broth was quite nice too. They have different sauce on the table you can help yourself.

It is a very small restaurant with lots of people. If you don't want to dine there you can get takeaway too. But as a slow person I feel like I was rushing to finish the food very quickly, nobody kicked us out but I feel like I need to eat quickly to empty the table for the next person. So it was not a very relaxed dining experience for me. But I understand busy business are like this. Overall the food...

Always recommending and telling others how good the pho is here.

One of the best in Adelaide in my opinion. Authentic. Local. Family Restaurant. Been here for the longest time. The interior, layout, seating has been the same and has not changed much at all, not necessarily a bad thing, but would definitely need a makeover. It does get busy here on weekends and some people have to share tables, wait outside and or take away instead. It it quite normal to share with strangers, but when you’re there for the good food, who even cares right? We all share the same passion for the love of food, but if this does bother you, I suggest coming in early before lunchtime peak hours.

You will not regret trying their pho. You will know what true authentic pho is.

They have a good variety range of other food too, however it is decent, average and is slightly better than most Vietnamese restaurants in the area.

Oh the smoothies are quite good too,...
