Pho Gia Hoi

Absolutely cheap and good! A big bowl of beef rice noodle only costs you $ 12, which can be $ 15 in other stores. So does the crispy chicken rice noodle.
The tastes are good, with soft rice noodle, well cut beef and crispy chicken.
The foods are full of Vietnamese tastes which I can easily tell, and I like them.

In one word? Yummylicious! I came here a day after trying the next door Pasteur, and what a difference! The good reviews don’t lie. This place is a little gem, with super fresh ingredients and tasty Vietnamese food.
I ordered the prawn and pork rolls rolled up in moist rice paper, they were perfect. It was hard to put them down. What was cool here is that unlike some places, you can order just 2 for $ 5 and not be stuck with extra food and pay extra when you’re just one person dining.
I also got the raw beef soup. It was a treat. Although the broth was not what I’m used to, it was still very nice, and the beef was so tender and fresh! The fixings you get — bean sprouts etc, we’re all very fresh as well, as you would expect from a good Vietnamese phở place.
I saw they have some interesting drinks here but I didn’t try any because I felt like having a coffee rather, however, others do recommends their shakes and beverages.
The prices are very fair as well, all across the menu. One person will spend no more than $ 20 AUD here for a starter + main. Bring cash.
Good experience overall, glad I came by to fix the bad taste left by the next door spot. Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is my personal all time favorite in Montréal (Canada) — the ever amazing Phở Lien! Try it if you’re in Montréal, it’s on Côte des Neiges boulevard.

In a nutshell, if you are looking for good, cheap, no-​frills Vietnamese food, then look no further. This place is awesome! Not just to reiterate, this is no-​frills kind of place. So if you are looking for a nice place to seat with views — then do not come here. But if you want really good Vietnamese, and don’t want to pay ridiculous prices, then trust me look no further.
Having a large selection of dishes, each one being a big size portion you won’t complain. Most of the dishes average around $ 12. And I promise you are going to get your money’s worth and more. But because it is cheap and good, this place is sometimes popular. So it might be hard to get a table. If you are unsure what to order, get the Bun Dac Biet, which is vermicelli with everything on top.
Also, if you are feeling adventurous they have an assortment of shakes. If you want different, they have an avocado shake — which is like having a guacamole shake.
So come and try this place you will not regret it.

If you’re looking for phở, this is the place to go. I have been coming here religiously and they never disappoint. For $ 12 you get a huge bowl of phở, I always order the raw beef, and it’s good quality and thinly sliced with the right ratio of noodles. They are generous with additions which include thai basil and bean shoots as well as fresh sliced chilli. The choice of condiments is vast and includes hoi sin and chili jam which are my go to. They bring the phở quickly, but I recommend having an hour to enjoy it and eat/​sip it slowly. A great way to have a quick dinner alone, or as a meeting spot with friends before a movie.

Craving on Vietnamese food, so I decided to have Bun Dac Biet for the second time this week.
The dish is consist of pork meat ball, shredded 1 870 159 0786pork, minced prawns, grill pork, spring roll and rice vermicelli, on top of that fried onion to make your taste bud goes wild!
It will cost you $ 14, but hey it’s cheaper than go to vendor by the side road in Hanoi (plane ticket already cost to you $ 800 .)
The dish bring back memories of my food journey while I was travelled to Vietnam earlier this year.
Flavor as good as I experienced back in Hanoi,
I wish also they serve egg coffee.
I did order durian and avocado shake. Oh my.
So good I have to order 1 more for take away…
I’m happy with over all experience, less than $ 20, and not bad for food and drink they are serving

We call it the orange place. And really — that’s what it is — as well as a restaurant. This franchise serves very passable Vietnamese fare at very good prices. If you’re walking by, like Vietnamese food and are hungry then there should be nothing but deeply entrenched food-​racism from restricting your entry. I suggest anything on the menu. I did ask a number of Vietnamese friends who have frequented the place whether it was traditional and pleasing to the palette of an expert — but they’ve all stopped talking to me now. Interpret that as you will.

ive been here about 47 times in the last 10 months. i only ever get the vermicelli with pork and pork rolls; it’s delicious, it’s inexpensive, and it fills my american stomach. what more can you ask for?
to be honest, though, i just learned the name of this place. i usually only look for the orange sign and bright-​coloured interior. if they ever changed colours, then i would probably never find it again :(
highly recommended if you are around and looking for a quickly-​served feast.

Three friends and I stumbled upon this place around 9, after strolling around Darling Harbour. It wasn’t busy but I’m sure it’s more crowded in the daytime, especially since it’s in a mall.
I ordered the vermicelli with spring rolls ($ 13), which is my go-​to dish at Vietnamese restaurants. It’s a little different than the food I’m used to having in the Viet restaurants in Brooklyn, but it was pretty good.
The service was kind of bad though. Each time we tried to get the waiter’s attention (or he could have been the owner — he had that boss attitude about him, and not in a good way), it took at least two tries until he finally decided to look in our direction. It’s like he couldn’t be bothered with our petty requests.
They messed up my friend’s order, brought it back and it still wasn’t right. But at that point, she was so hungry that she didn’t even care anymore and just ate it.
My advice? Get the food to go (if possible). That way, you can get the food without having to deal with the service.

The food was pretty bad on Sundays. we ordered some soup and ended up having an upset stomach after.
Staff weren’t really friendly.
Having said that, the food selection was good. Food came out really quickly. Affordable with the right amount of meat.

I like this place for the Bun Bo Hue (the Spicier cousin for the Phở/​Beef Noodle Soup) as this is one of the few places in Chinatown that serve it.
It’s a nice alternative to have Phở right in the city which is good for city workers, and out of town visitors.
Pricing is decent and portions is plentiful.

One of my ‘go-​to’ phở restaurants in the city, customer service is great, food is good. There’s not much else to complain about to be honest, this restaurant is only getting a 4 stars just because of it’s interior is a bit… Less classier? Than others. But yeah, would highly recommend to anyone.

3.5 — extra half star for value compared to lunch prices nearby. $ 6.50 for a decent sized roll and a drink. I wish the meat was warm or kept warm — I think that would make the banh mi sandwiches better. The bread roll is quite good — nice and crispy toasted, but also not warm. The vegetables they use in the sandwiches are pretty fresh tasting, which I guess makes this a relatively healthier fast food option than the others. Overall, not the best banh mi ever, but quite decent and satisfying!

This is becoming my preferred franchise for Viet spciy beef noodle soup in Sydney. The other branches include Canley Heights and Eastwood. The house special is Bun Bo Hue — spicy beef vermicelli soup. Although nothing ever compares to mum’s version, Phở Gia Hoi is a decent alternative. The broth is flavorsome and full of goodies like and the plate of vegetables include herbs, shredded cabbage and lettuce. At $ 12 for a large bowl, it’s a good meal especially on a cooler night or those harsh winter days in Sydney.
I have tried a few of the entrees at this place including the spring rolls and rice paper rolls and have to say they are ordinary at best. The rice dishes aren’t bad but I really don’t rate the Phở at all. Stick to the house special is my suggestion.
Service is fast and efficient however the kitchen does get backed up during peak periods for certain dishes. Stick with the noodle soups and you’ll get your food pretty quick. Like most Asian ‘fast food’ joints, do not expect your food to come out at one hit or in any particular order if you’re dining with a group. Just eat when your dish comes out instead of waiting for the others as your meal will get cold!

Food is solid. 4.5÷5 for the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup). ⁴⁄₅ for the com thit nuong (rice w/​pork). A bit over priced. $ 5 for a banh mi (sandwich)? Hmm don’t think so — should be $ 2 – 3. Would definitely come back since there aren’t really THAT many options around and it’s actually decent. *sigh* take me back to Little Saigon (in LA).

Phở Gia Hoi in Eastwood is one of my favourite places to eat at and I was expecting the same quality here, or even better as this is the older and more established one.
I ordered my usual crispy skin chicken with the orange rice and both the chicken and rice were very bland compared to the same dish served at the Eastwood branch. The complementary tea was tasteless too, it was like drinking plain hot water. The only plus I can give was they gave my friend a bowl of their soup/​broth when she asked even though it was not meant to be part of what she ordered.
I hear the pork rolls here are pretty good but I think they are only available during the day.

Price is quite the same with Phở Pasteur but then quantity is much higher. Just 1 bowl of Phở and I am so full. They also have a more variety of traditional Vietnamese noodle which remind of my hometown. I gotta taste all in their menu !

Grew up with a Cambodian mother and a Vietnamese dad so I know what authentic South-​East Asian dishes should taste like. Homesick during a 3 month stay in Canberra, AU — I decided to venture out for some South-​East Asian comfort food.
Phở — most places lack the essential ingredient of ox-​tail. And most do not even let the broth stew overnight. Most places I’ve tried in Australia lack a flavorful broth and you must rely on hot sauce (Sriracha)/hosin sauce/​and lime wedges to have a decent bowl. This place was one of them. The appetizers somewhat made up for the lack of a flavorful brother. It is enough to get by but definitely not a suitable replacement for good authentic phở.

I decided to try a standard phở noodle soup here on my first meal in Australia. It was okay but I’ve definitely had much better before. At least the service was efficient and prompt which is great for a restaurant like this. Interior décor is simple and gets the job done. I liked the added touch of hot tea on the side of the table which you can pour yourself.
Hopefully I can find a better Vietnamese restaurant soon, but if not this will have to do.

Great phở place, just follow the orange brick road…
My cousin took me her when I first moved to Sydney. She loves Vietnamese food so I trust her taste in most food. This place is very orange — all the décor — and the wait staff all wear bright orange shirts.
We ordered the Rare Steak Phở and it was pretty tasty! The rice paper rolls are also nice. Tried the Buong Bao Wei — Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and its also good. Would say one of the better phở places in the city.
