PHO Hung Vuong Saigon: Where Tastebuds Take a Joyride! Picture this: you're at PHO Hung Vuong Saigon, standing in line that's as long as the Great Wall of China. You might question, "Why am I here?" But hold onto that thought, and let me take you on a flavor-filled journey. The moment you sink your teeth into the mouth-watering food here, you'll understand why this place is as popular as a sell-out concert. Every dish is like a symphony of taste, with the ingredients playing a harmonious tune that dances on your taste buds. The pho, in particular, is like a culinary masterpiece - the broth sings a soulful ballad while the noodles and toppings chime in like a perfectly synchronized choir. One spoonful in, and you're no longer at a bustling restaurant, but floating down the Saigon River, soaking in the vibrant flavors of Vietnam. The queue you endured will suddenly seem like a small price to pay for this delectable experience. The only thing that stops me from giving PHO Hung Vuong Saigon a perfect score is the long wait due to its popularity. But, as we all know, the best things in life are worth waiting for - and the food here is no exception! So bring along your patience and your appetite, and prepare to embark on an unforgettable gastronomic adventure at PHO Hung Vuong Saigon. It's not just a meal, it's a journey that your taste buds will thank you for!

I had such a bad day today, traffic sucked, cut off, no parking and forgot my jacket. All of that disappeared as soon as the beef broth touched my tongue. Like an addict entering intravenous ecstasy, I floated into a warm sweet embrace from a Vietnamese auntie. I was aggressively quite sceptical in regard to the hype of PHV but my doubts were instantly put to rest. Food is always subjective but the brother was objectively beefy. Saturated in-fact. I’m not going to do a breakdown of what I could taste but the sweetness of the broth was so different to what I’m used to (as compared to the usual rock sugar sweetness) in a good way. If I could put my finger on it might have been a hint of a sweet root vegetable which hit the back of my tastebuds from every angle. Quite pleased that this bowl made my day better. Shame that it is a cash only establishment however it was worth the hit at $16 for a bowl. The bowl itself doesnt scream “best bowl of pho” but in instance, once you get through the front cover you realise how much depth there is and how generous PHV is with the broth and noodles. Thank you for feeding my addiction.

The best pho restaurant in Springvale. We were recommended by one of our friends and read the review 8 years ago before our initial visit. We never went for another one in Springvale afterwards. For many years, we never even went to another restaurant for pho. The broth is always tasty, there is always a generous amount of meat. It is a fast-paced restaurant, we found the staff there are generally good. They take my preference of the pho very seriously and cook the bean sprout for us. Personally really enjoyed their chilli oil as well, one of the best chilli oils. During busy hours, there is always a queue. The taste of the food worth the wait. We generally visit the place once or twice a month. We missed the place so much during Covid as we live really far that it is over 5 km radius (more than 20km away from our place). We always prepare cash before we go as it is a cash-only business, and this could be the only downside of the restaurant. Hopefully, they will get their EFTPOS soon. Overall, it is a great place for pho. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

ORDERED: 🍜 Small Beef Special (Bò Đặc Biệt) ($15.00) REVIEW: The line is long outside, but moves quickly. There's an aunty that goes outside periodically to ask how many people you're eating with. Then she arranges the tables and calls you in appropriately when there's a table available. When you sit down, you're barely given a breather before you're prompted for your order. Choose fast! The menu is on the wall and considering it's limited, it doesn't take too long. Once the pho is out, dig in. Delicious broth that is flavourful, not oily, that is classic and traditional. Make sure you add in a generous helping of the fresh herbs. The pho noodle is generous and the small size was definitely enough for me. If I didn't find the hair in my meat, and my friend didn't find a thick short curly hair in hers, it would be a solid 4 stars. Cash only.

Don’t get me wrong for the low rating, I love the pho here especially the broth. The reason for this rating is because I found two hair strand in my soup. I found the first hair strand when I started eating but chose to brush it off since there is just one but upon finishing the soup I found another strand of hair and told my friend and guess what? she said she found one strand in her soup too and chose to brush it off since it is just one until I brought it up. We brought the issue to the waitress (short hair with black glasses) and she told us that she will relay the message to the kitchen. We did waited a while for a response but to our surprise there is no apology and response from them. So, we just proceed to pay and left. I am very surprised, is this how restaurant is treating the customers these days?

Jan 2019 Current comments are based on 3 separate visits... most recent today.. soup base is crazy salty and high in msg!! Noodles served are in small pieces!! Need a spoon. The side herbs given is a joke!! I small branch each person!! Am on to my second litre of water!! One year ago... this place seems to be getting a cult following. Pho is decent here and the table turnover is high so don't be put off by the crowd of people waiting out front. It only seats ~25 I'd say. Tiny space. So expect to be sharing tables during lunch rush. Broth tastes great. They pride themselves on supposed "no msg"??? Hard to believe but yeah I guess I wasn't thirsty afterwards. Soup is piping hot and full of flavour. Not high in aniseed. There's nothing I don't like here except for a lot of elbows touching.
