About Nguyen Pho & Banh Mi

Hand-pulled pho noodles, house-baked bread, and simmered beef broth turn this Docklands stop into a midday staple. Bowls land in minutes—ideal for beating a tight lunch break without the sluggish post-meal slump. Broths skip MSG entirely, drawing their deep flavor from traditional spices, tender beef brisket, and rich bone stock. Crusty banh mi rolls come packed with crackling roast pork, while the side bakery turns out flaky, gravy-filled meat pies. Wash it down with a slow-drip Vietnamese iced coffee before heading back to the office.

  • Handmade Rice Noodles: Rice noodles are cut fresh by hand on-site for every bowl of noodle soup.
  • MSG-Free Broth: Traditional pho broth is brewed without MSG, delivering clean, soothing beef flavor.
  • In-House Bakery & Pies: An adjoining bakery counter serves house-baked tiger bread and chunky savory meat pies.
  • Office Lunch Pickup: Bespoke team spreadsheet orders are packed and ready to pick up right at the counter.

  • Clean Comfort Without the Post-Lunch Crash

    Simmered without MSG, the traditional broth provides full savory depth without mid-afternoon drowsiness.

    The pho is super delicious with a complex broth, but still really clean and fresh and doesn’t leave you feeling tired after like a lot of pho broth can.

  • Soothing Warmth on Cold Days

    Steaming, aromatic broth and tender beef offer comforting relief on brisk Melbourne workdays.

  • On-Site Bakery and Hearty Savory Pies

    In addition to Vietnamese noodle soups and rolls, an integrated bakery supplies full-crust savory meat pies.

    Their meat pies are bloody brilliant. Actual chunks of meat, or if you have the meat and mushroom, juicy cooked mushroom and the same chunky meat.

  • Roast Pork Bánh Mì

    the roast pork and chicken used in the bánh mì have improved significantly — they are more flavourful, better marinated, and served hot and fresh compared to before.
