Saigon Pho is in Footscray. Its near the Little Saigon Market outside of Sen. There is a second one in Carlton.
About five other people have written about it... so far no one has blogged about it in 2013. So here is my review.
They opened just before 9am in the morning. Oddly enough it wasn't all that busy. But the market was though.
The guy that served me looked really surly. Maybe he just got up.
The bathrooms are out the back and for the ladies you had to get a key. I have no idea why they keep the door locked at the ladies when they don't for the gents. Inside was dirty.
There was free tea but I was more hungry than thirsty
I had the vegetarian pho. They come in three sizes: small ($8), medium or large. I chose the first one as I can never finish a medium, let alone a large. The broth needed a lot more flavour in there. It was really bland. But the veggies and tofu was cooked perfectly though. Oddly enough the noodles was a tad bit overcooked that they broke.
It was a tad bit better once I put some sauce and lots of onions in there.
Seeing as this is in Footscray, I was expecting a lot more. If this was in the city it would be passable, let alone Moonee Ponds where everything is westernised.
I wouldn't come back here again, but I'd be happy to try the Carlton one though.
