Pho Ben Thanh — Restaurant in Melbourne

Stopped in for a bite after installing a fish tank. Bahn Mi is my comfort food and I would say I am a bit of an aficionado. I think this wa one of the best. Lettuce was a new addition for my palate and I sis not note the usual inclusion of cucumber. Regardless, this bahn.mi was refreshing and had a pleasant mouthful. The pate was not overly moist and the bread was of a pleasant, crispy nature. The meat was superior quality with no over the top fatty notes. The crispy skin was applied in abundance, coriander applied with generosity. The best thing to note, $11. Bahn Mi has become popular and having something this good at this price is a Rarity. Paired incredibly well with the home made lemon iced tea Staff were incredibly pleasant and welcoming of slight variations to the dish (no spring onions because it makes my tummy hurt)

We went for a nice walk with the dog along the CS Lake and then stopped by here for dinner. They have outdoor seating so our dog was welcome to sit with us while we enjoyed our dinner. The Bun bo hue was great, full of flavour, good quality meats and the broth was perfect. Vegetarian options were great. Pho was good however I would recommend the Bun bo hue instead. Good and welcoming service and the only Vietnamese restaurant in CS. My only complaint was the menu is a bit overpriced. Overall, great food and...
