About I Love Pho

Victoria Street regulars head straight here when only a restorative, steaming bowl of noodle soup will do. The kitchen runs on breakneck timing—bowls hit the table within minutes, loaded with tender sliced beef and springy rice noodles in an aromatic nước dùng that stays light and clean. Diners spot staff hand-rolling crispy prawn and pork spring rolls right in the room, balanced by plates of broken rice and grilled pork chops. Every table gets a thermos of complimentary hot tea, ready before you even touch the fresh herbs or home-style chilli.

  • Masterful Broth: Aromatic, light beef broth simmered to be clean and oil-free, served over tender meat and rice noodles.
  • Hand-Rolled Spring Rolls: Crispy prawn and pork spring rolls rolled by hand right in the dining area.
  • Rapid Service: Bowls frequently land on tables within minutes of ordering.
  • Complimentary Table Tea: Every table receives a bottomless thermos of hot tea upon sitting down.
  • Generous Plates: Heaped servings of sliced beef pho, broken rice, and pork chops at pocket-friendly prices.

  • Fresh Hand-Rolled Spring Rolls

    In-house kitchen preparation ensures spring rolls arrive super crispy and freshly made, hand-rolled right in the dining room.

    The prawn spring rolls were absolute standouts—crispy, flavour-packed, and we saw them rolling fresh ones while we were dining in, which is always a good sign.

    Kitchen speed is fine-tuned to deliver piping-hot noodle bowls almost immediately, fitting seamlessly into tight lunch breaks.

Beloved Vietnamese noodle soups and freshly rolled appetisers served piping hot

  • Special Beef Pho

    We ordered 2 medium size of the Special beef pho bowls ($17 AUD each). Medium size was more than enough for us. It was really a good value. From the broth to the noodle and the variety types of meat (there were a lot of meat), everything tasted authentic and so yummy.

Before you head over

Practical pointers on spice levels, serving sizes, and table inclusions

  • Add the table chilli cautiously

    Fresh chillies and house chilli oil provided at the table pack an intense punch—test a small amount first before stirring it into your broth.

  • Portion sizes are exceptionally generous

    Portions are substantially filling, with medium bowls offering plenty of meat and noodles, while large sizes or single bowls can easily satisfy two sharing.

  • Help yourself to complimentary table tea

    Enjoy the complimentary hot tea served at your table—often kept warm in a thermos—alongside your steaming bowl.
