About time I review My Pho Bar. This was actually my first pho experience ever. I was always…read moreconvinced I would hate pho, but when I first arrived in Australia this place was one of the first restaurants some family members wanted me to try. I can officially say I'm a pho addict now. I love pho and I love my pho bar. I've dined in on both weekends and weekdays and have never had a bad experience. It is modern and clean, nice and airy as well. Always start with the spring rolls, they're always stuffed with flavour and perfect to snack on while waiting for your main. My favourite pho bowl is the "my spicy", the chicken and beef is always perfectly tender and the broth is to die for. It's not actually very spicy, so I take full advantage of the serve yourself chilli bar and add some heat to my bowl. The service can sometimes be a little slow but it's very rare to see more than one waitress at a time so I understand, and it's always worth the wait. There's a "Super Bowl challenge" which I have yet to attempt, check out the pictures on the wall of all the challengers, you'd have to make sure your stomach has been empty for days to beat this one!

A restaurant with one focus, and one focus only. Pho pronounced (fur). For those of you who don't…read moreknow what this is, it is vietnamese noodle soup plain and simple. And here, for $12 you can get a generous serving of it, with your choice of up to 3 toppings. The owners have just opened recently in the little shopping centre off Kooringal Drive right next to my favourite Sushi 79 and they are making a killing of it. No more do we have to drive all the way to Darra for our noodle soup, no more do we need to wipe the tables clean ourselves... no more do we have to ask dodgy or not dodgy? These guys are the real deal. They charge 3 dollars more than the places in Darra, but they bring you the cuisine with fresh ingredients, a clean atmosphere and elegant cutlery and bowls. These guys have put some thought into revamping the daggy noodle shop in the suburbs and on a Friday night the place is pretty busy. They are also the home of the SUPER BOWL CHALLENGE worth $35. Equalling 4 servings of the normal bowl of noodle soup, should you finish it in the hour, you get it for free, and your picture and name on the board of fame. Many have tried (2 women even) and none have succeeded so far... but give it time because the place has only been open for less than a few months. You need to call ahead to tell them if you're planning on taking the challenge but it's very exciting when someone does, they get an introduction with a microphone and everyone looks. It's a pretty big bowl too so it's not for the faint hearted. What a great little place, the western suburbs are looking up and putting themselves on the map with cuisine like this. Awesome Pho. Open 7 Days!

The Vietnamese food is decent, and that's saying a lot coming from someone who lives in an area with one of the biggest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. The spring rolls are great.

Was super stoked, but then was super sad as it doesn't taste the same anymore. We've been patronizing Kim Khanh for years now -- like close to 10 years, probably through several owners -- and it's the first time I was slightly disappointed with my experience. The portions have shrunk -- I'd much rather they raise the prices and leave the portions alone. I thought the bun bo hue was decent, nice broth and not greasy. The fresh spring rolls were not great. Bo luc lac was nice and tasty. We always get the banh hoi -- like I said, shrunk in size like by 30%. Hope it improves.... it's been our family fave for years now. Sad to see it go down hill.

Garden City and their new Town Square dining precinct have you covered. I was all set to keep to my usual stop at Motto Motto until I was assured I'd not regret a visit to dine at PH by Pho Hung (directly opposite the geometric prints of Motto Motto). I think my secret source knew her stuff. Set amongst clean white walls with black illustrations and yellow accents, PH is a more modern version of their well-known Sunnybank restaurant. Despite it's location they're serving a reasonably full sit-in menu with a few take-away options. Their tagline: "Vietnamese delight authentic food" rings true as each meal is made to order. Once sat by the friendly staff I opted for the beef wrapped in betel leaves and a grilled prawn vermicelli salad bowl. Note to self: you don't need anything else when ordering the salad bowl. These are huge and I'd dare to say enough for two and their special fish sauce is the star of the dish. If you're a fan of fresh flavours, fast and friendly service and a meal that leaves you feeling satisfied and full of health -- PH is your bet in this neck of the woods.

We've tried our share of other Vietnamese restaurants beyond our two favourites - Ca Phe Nam in West End and Pho An at Inala - and they always disappoint. Our favourites set the benchmark for taste, outstanding quality and value. And we now welcome Pho Hung Vuong to the favourites family. Two Phos, a Rare Beef ($20) and a Special Pho ($25), were superb with a boastful broth, fresh rice noodles and inspiring ingredients. The condiments too were generous, just the way we like and expect them, with plenty of bean sprouts, basil, chili paste and fresh red chilis, lime wedges and hoisin sauce. We made quick work of both phos and commented on how much we enjoyed them on the way to emptying our bowls. Sometimes spotting something by chance results in a welcome opportunity to experience something new. And, in this case, utterly delicious and beyond expectations. We'll be back, Pho sure!
