About Pho Thin Australia (Pho Thin 13 Lo Duc MELBOURNE)

Noodle soup purists skip the cluttered southern bowls and head straight here for unadulterated Hanoi-style phở Bắc. No bean sprouts or basil—just springy rice noodles drowned in a clean, savory broth heaped with fresh spring onions. The real draw is the signature beef, seared hard with garlic before hitting the bowl to lend a smoky depth to the soup. CBD regulars ducking in from the chill pair their order with crispy quẩy to dunk straight into the piping hot broth, table-side pickled garlic within arm's reach.

  • Authentic Hanoi-Style Broth: Broth comes deeply savory and clean, served Northern-style without bean sprouts or basil and showered with spring onions.
  • Garlic-Stir-Fried Beef: Tender beef is seared with garlic to infuse the soup with a distinctive smoky aroma.
  • Crispy Quẩy for Dipping: Crispy fried dough sticks come alongside steaming bowls, built for dunking directly into the rich broth.
  • Brisk CBD Pace: Efficient ordering keeps table turnaround brisk, with hot bowls arriving minutes after seating.

Why Diners Choose Pho Thin Australia

Authentic Hanoi-style garlic pho, specialty red wine broth, and crispy dough sticks served fast in Melbourne CBD.

  • Garlic-Seared Beef and Savory Broth

    Beef is stir-fried with garlic before being combined with savory broth and scallions, delivering deep smoky aromatics rather than a standard sweet profile.

    Their signature move is stir-frying the beef in garlic first—it gives the whole bowl this incredible smoky depth.

  • Specialty Red Wine Pho with Dough Sticks

    The kitchen prepares red wine beef stew alongside fried dough sticks designed to soak up the concentrated soup.

    The red wine pho + cakwe is a must.

  • Ideal Warm Meal for Cold Evenings

    Warm, steamy noodle bowls provide satisfying comfort during cold Melbourne weather in the CBD.

    Broth is nice and flavourful and good amount of shredded chicken. Service was quick and we only waited 1-2 min for a table for 2 on a Friday night. Food came quickly and had sides on the table. Great spot for a quick dinner on a cold night

Before you head over

Practical advice on Northern Vietnamese traditions, signature sides, and fast-casual CBD dining

  • Authentic Northern-Style Garnishes

    Unlike Southern pho, Northern Hanoi-style pho is served strictly with chopped spring onions and herbs in the bowl, with no bean sprouts, fresh basil, or hoisin sauce on the side. Expect garlic-stir-fried beef and use the tabletop pickled garlic to adjust flavors.

  • Order Fried Dough Sticks (Quay) for Dipping

    Complete your soup by adding Vietnamese fried dough sticks (quay / cakwe) to your order. They arrive in portions of two and are traditionally dipped directly into the savory broth to soak up the garlic and beef flavors.

  • Fast-Casual Counter and QR Ordering

    Tables can fill quickly during peak meal times, but turnaround is fast. Order and pay promptly via QR code or at the front counter, and note that drinking water and cutlery are self-serve before food arrives.
