    It's hard to find good pho in CBD. Dont think that pho in food court must not good. This one is very nice! Tasty Pho and Drink with reasonable price. You can take fresh chilli as much as you want!

    For me, I Love Pho Express in Emporium is my favourite pho in Melbourne. That probably sounds like an overstatement to a lot of people but I love eating here. The staff are so accommodating and lovely and they cater to my specific tastes so they keep me really happy. I like the food court atmosphere, I love the flavour of the broth, the chilli is fresh, the banh mi are delicious. I always come here every time I want my favourite pho and Vietnamese cuisine. Highly recommend!

    Ordered takeaway pho with beef soup, slice ans tendons. I'm surprised to find raw meat in my bowl, and of course the soup is not hot boiling anymore after i reached home. So i had to tuen on the stove and cook, which contradicts the point of ordering takeaway. Also the mint leaves aren't fresh, I had to pick out the brown leaves.. taste of the soup itself is nothing special. not recommended menus is as of 1 Dec 2022

    The Pho was ok but the cutlery was too small. Small spoon and flat fork and not so easy to pick up the pho.

    Good serving portion and delicious. I got the Liven deal for $20 which gave me a further $20 credit. Ended up with a $40. Got 2 pho for $15 each and a 6 prawn spring rolls for $10 😁 even though it is located at the Emporium food court, it is worth the money for a hearty delicious meals.

    Excellent broth and very reasonable lunch. Conveniently located, swift service and hearty food. Seems to serve a lot of single ladies eating by themselves.

    We ordered prawn spring rolls, beef and chicken pho and lemongrass chicken vermicelli noodle salad. All of the food were delicious, especially the lemongrass chicken noodle salad. Salad and vegetables were fresh, a delight to eat. Only one thing for suggestion is that they should be serving the pho not on takeaway bowl, as the broth can get cold quite fast, should be on a normal porcelain big bowl, so customers can enjoy more of the soup.

    Decent pho but not as tasty as I would’ve liked. Could at least be served in a proper bowl instead of a paper one.

    Great Pho very good for a quick lunch and well located in the Emporium top level food court.

    Prefer this to its mothership in Richmond, much nicer n cleaner seating area, food just as good if not better. This together with other food stalls make Emporium our first choice for lunch in CBD.

    Ordered Banh Mi with lemongrass pork. Average, and doesn't feel like eating Vietnamese style banh mi. Probably we should stick to pho (Vietnamese noodle).

    Amongs all pho i tried, this is the most plain flavour. Dipping sauce meant to be siracha and hoisin, but the one they have was hoisin and random chili sauce. Spring roll got not much flavour, so does the peanut sauce. Also for The guy behind the counter, if you dont have customer service skill please dont look after front house, just stay at the back.

    I'm a big fan of I love Pho but how can you serve Pho to eat in, in a takeaway container? It ruins the experience completely. This is why I only go to the Richmond store and elsewhere in the CBD for pho.

    Pho is not bad. However, you can barely see the chicken, as the portion is getting smaller.

  • 4/5 Charles 3 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    15 dollars for a massive chicken pho that always fills you up and tastes amazing! also is always done within minutes of ordering. the struggle is finding a seat to sit down at, usually all are taken. they also used to have porcelain bowels and metal utensils but swapped these out for disposable ones 😔
