“ We ordered beef pho noodle and pho laksa soup chicken and it was okay. I wouldn’t say great but they give a big portion. Laksa was different than any malaysia or singapore laksa I ever tasted, a bit salty but good think they provide some sauce condiments. Tho more of that kind of thing would be helpful, like chilli oil or fresh chilli. ”

“ One of the best Asian food we had along the Great Ocean Road! Beef noodle and chicken noodle tasted so good and it felt so warmly having a hot bowl of soup during a cold winter. Staff were friendly as well and food was served very quickly. Didn’t have to wait long. Plenty of free street parking available Food prices were decent too. Reg Beef and chicken noodle both cost the same $19 ”
“ This Vietnamese noodle spot is lovely with a fresh, blue-themed decor. The Tom Yum noodle soup is delicious—rich and flavorful. Their Vietnamese beef noodle soup (pho) is great too, with super crisp bean sprouts that add a nice crunch. Overall, the food is really good. A tip: order at the front desk. The QR code ordering system charges a service fee ”
