Joe Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Efate

On the beach side of the road and gets a fair amount of passing trade. Nice big place that serves wonderful Pho. Probably nowhere else on the island quite does it like these guys do. Must be good because even the locals seem to come here. The menu is good with plenty to choose from. Had Pho and was in heaven. Something tasty at last. Portion size was good. Staff were very friendly and eager to please. Wheelchair friendly....

Below average fried noodles with beef; and 'vegetables' = lots of bok choi only, really tasteless, so 2* is quite generous! Vietnamese iced coffee was basically instant coffee over ice. Nothing Vietnamese about it. My total was almost 3000VT or $35AU, so absolutely extortionate for what I got. Service from ladies was nice. Bloke behind bar was rude. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're rich...

The staff were extremely helpful, and able to accommodate some dietary requirements. We ordered a simple dish, and the portions were decent, and it was presented well. Perhaps the beef was a little tough or stringy in parts of the curry, but otherwise it was a good dining experience. Tourist prices, but that is to be expected on the main strip...
