I Love Pho

Victoria Street royalty. When Melbourne’s most obsessed noodle hounds crave a flawless bowl, they point straight to this vibrant dining room. The draw? A masterclass in nước dùng—an exceptionally clean, deeply rich broth simmered with serious skill. Bowls arrive lightning-fast, packed with perfectly textured rice noodles and incredibly tender beef. Add a hit of their ferociously strong chili and you’re in business. Beyond the soup, the kitchen cranks out blisteringly fresh prawn spring rolls, rolled right in the dining room, alongside crispy banh mi and massive plates of pork chop on rice. Wash it all down with ice-cold nước mía or fragrant jasmine tea sourced directly from the owner’s family in Vietnam. Fast, fiercely authentic, and run by the warmest crew in Richmond.
