Phat Pho — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Work lunch. Super quick. Not a Vietnamese fan so had a chicken and coriander roll. Can't remember their proper name. Water on table quickly with glasses for everyone after we all sat. Sometimes have to ask for table water at some places so that was great. All my work mates chomped down on what they ordered. Duck salad. 3 had the soup and all bowls empty. My roll was lovely and fresh. My only problem is the chicken I only eat and like is white chicken breast. This was not breast so a bit chewy. Still ate it all. Look I am sure this place is fantastic for their street food but I am not an expert on this. Menu seemed very well priced. Nothing...

Hong is an absolute legend.

My first order was a Fried Rice and I couldn’t decide if I wanted pork or chicken. When I asked if she’d make me a mixed fried rice (the best kind, IMHO), her words were ‘if it makes you happy, why not?’

Fairly quick service ensued and when I tucked into a gorgeous bowl of steaming fried rice with generous chunks of pork and slivers of chicken, the fresh coriander leaves served with this fried rice bowl elevated the dish.

Phat Pho gives you a choice of serving size, which makes it easier to enjoy as well.

And that’s how I wrapped up a lovely Saturday...

I recently had the opportunity to try the roast pork Bahn Mi and was a bit taken aback by the $14.50 price tag. While it's on the higher end for a Bahn Mi, I decided to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit underwhelming. The baguette was petite and lacked sufficient filling, making it difficult to taste the full potential of the dish. The taste itself was just okay, lacking the bold and satisfying flavors that are usually associated with this classic sandwich. Overall, I was disappointed with my purchase and feel that the price did not reflect the quality...
