Pho Tau Bay

Preston's go-to pho. giant bowls, proper broth, and owners who treat every regular like family.

A modest, casual Vietnamese restaurant on Preston's High St with a neighbourhood warmth that punches above its setting. The space is clean and functional rather than designed. the draw is the food and the owners. The husband-and-wife team running the front of house create a genuinely personal atmosphere; multiple reviewers describe feeling welcomed like family. Busy at lunch and dinner, but not noisy. the energy is convivial rather than loud.

Husband-and-wife owner-operated. Unusually generous pho portions noted across many reviews (medium size described as 'huge'). Licensed. Broad Vietnamese menu beyond pho. bun, vermicelli, stir-fries, fried noodles, rice dishes. Tofu substitutions accommodated for dietary needs. Open six days a week (closed Sundays).

Owner-run Vietnamese restaurant with the pho broth highlighted as authentically prepared. praised by Vietnamese diners and those who have eaten pho in Vietnam as capturing the correct flavour profile. Bun bo hue, com tam and other regional Vietnamese dishes on the menu signal genuine breadth. The menu also includes some SE Asian dishes (laksa, char kway teow) beyond core Vietnamese.

Strong value. medium pho at approximately $16.50 is praised as great value for the portion size. Generous serves across the menu are consistently noted. Under $40 for two people is achievable and considered excellent value by most reviewers who enjoyed their visit.
