AI Summary

Beachfront Torquay pho bar famous for fusion broths and crispy spring rolls.

Casual share-table beach-shack energy right on the Torquay esplanade. busy, bright, and loud when the swell (or the marathon crowd) is in.

QR-code table ordering, ocean-view outdoor seating with heaters and clear blinds for winter, and occasional live music.

Openly a fusion take rather than a traditional one. some reviewers loved the creative sukiyaki and tom yum pho twists, others found it not authentic pho.

Historically seen as fair and generous, but several 2026 reviews report shrinking portions for the same price. a recent sore point for regulars.
