Iron Knob Bakery & Deli — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

So far, one of the great Pho in Canberra. My wife and I liked the taste of Pho and Vermicelli salad. Two Vietnamese?owner seemed doing proper hygiene as they don't throw spoons and chopsticks on the table. Also one Vietnamese man was cleaning the floor which gave me impression of tidy restaurant.

Second, the portion seemed a bit smaller than normal portion as I and my wife were not quite full after the meal.

Barista/owner is not friendly at all & don’t expect a smile or thank you from him. Pho I ordered was quite nice but portion was quite small for the price at $17 a pop. Ordered a hot Vietnamese coffee but it was overly sweet with too much condensed milk added & stirred before it was served. The coffee did not taste right at...
