After my pleasant experience at Red Lotus, I was keen to try the row of Vietnamese eateries along Cracknell Road in Annerley. Was too tired to cook the other night so we decided it would be nice to take a stroll out and grab a wholesome bowl of pho.
Phoning up ahead of time, I was informed that it was best to make a reservation in case it was busy, and the store was about half full when we arrived.
The menu was obviously very focused on Pho and the different variations filled up a whole page. I found the different tiers of soup and toppings fascinating and was keen to try out two different types to compare.
Sprouts came and they were fresh and ample.
This was the Pho Tai with standard soup. The noodles were fresh and generous but they weren't broken up as much as they could have been before serving which meant quite a few strands had clumped together. The beef was thinly sliced and not overly fatty. The soup was tasteful and light without any excess oil on top which was great.
I opted for the Pho Tai with Wagyu Brisket in Premium Soup. The soup was definitely more distinct in the sense that it had a lot more depth and a lot more sweetness and umami in the broth. The beef was again thinly sliced and tender. I really enjoyed the brisket too which was quite fatty and melt in your mouth soft. Would definitely come back for another chance to have the brisket and try more on their menu.
Value: 8/10
Service: 8/10
