How we read reviews →Chapel Street's most celebrated pho. aromatic broth, cosy space, real Vietnamese soul.
Small, cosy Vietnamese diner with warm timber tables and a neighbourhood feel on Chapel Street. Compact space that feels intimate rather than cramped when it's running well. Licensed with cocktails. Decor is modest but comfortable. a working local restaurant rather than a designed destination.
24-hour marinated lemongrass chicken pho is a house signature. Cup-size pho option offers a lighter serve for smaller appetites. Cocktail menu alongside the traditional Vietnamese beverage list. QR code ordering system (with some reviewers noting early teething issues). Tables inside and outside.
Described by multiple reviewers as authentic and traditional Vietnamese. The pho broth earns praise for depth and complexity. One long-time Vietnamese food enthusiast with Richmond restaurant comparisons rated the pho highly. House-made chilli adds a genuine kitchen touch.
Opinions are split: most reviewers find it good value for the Chapel Street location with generous servings. Critics point to $22 pok pok rice with limited meat and $98 dinner bills for two as pain points. The cup pho option and lunch set represent the best value entry points.
