All is good here at the Mekong on Swanston. Authentic Vietnamese street food cafe . Pricing is good and not a rip off. If you want good Pho come visit. I've done Vietnam and this is as good as it gets

Steve

One of the oldest pho restaurants in Melbourne, been coming here since '96. Authentic and crowded , so if you are eating by yourself, be prepared to share a table.

Ludacus

Great vietname food, you can't go wrong with the beef pho . Glad I didn't travel here pho nothing. For you in-pho-mation, this places opens till 11pm on Friday and Saturday.

AManda HUang

Just get the beef pho . The broth was so flavorful. Quite a big portion for AUD10. Highly recommended if ur looking for some pho on a cold winter day/night.

Shazlan Sufian

I always make a point to eat here when in Melbourne. I love the pho here. I usually go for the number 10 (brisket & beef slices )

Special beef noodles is gd. Share d medium bowl if u r a small eater. The fried spring roll - while nice- is not the authentic type found in Vietnam . It's more like d Chinese Dimsum spring roll

William Hanlon

Cash only , crowded , messy, no frills & churn-em-out service... but a good bowl of pho and an authentic vibe. Known as Bill Clinton's pho spot, and probably worth a try if pho is your jam !

Zac

The restaurant boasts that even Bill Clinton ordered two bowls of their delicious Pho - agree totally with that! A must try in Melbourne!

Good value for money beef pho . Beef is tender. Portions r adequate (even for "small" version). Order at table service, with free tea . Soup has lots of MSG tho. Crowded , be prepared to share tables.

Gabby Webb

Definitely a bowl of beef pho ! I love to put some pickled onions in my soup , so yum! Small portion is enough for me. ????????

Yohan Gabriel Liutama

Loved the special pork chop with broken rice . Go there slightly earlier or you may not get a table.

Jordan McKenna

Cozy & authentic feel. Vegetarian options are limited but food was okay for $10. Make sure to add all the toppings to the vegetable pho to add flavour!

Samantha Ooi

Their beef pho is still the biggest bowl, great value . Service is quick to seat and prompt to serve. Need to be comfortable with a crowded place tho.

Jeffrey Mok

Beef noodles with bone marrow is my fav! Very aromatic & fragrant soup and the soft texture of marrow is very nice

Cheris Hoh

Super yummy broth, fast service . Pickled onions give an extra kick which makes it tastier.

Gillian Ong

Opens till late on weekends so if you're looking for a spot of comfort food , this is the place to be.

Grace

Very awesome viet food in Melbourne ! Do not missed it when you are here !

Lars Yencken

Excellent pho , rice paper rolls and noodle salads . Top it off with a four colour drink or custard apple smoothie .

Edbert Prathama

Huge size for one portion, delicious rice noodle and you should try the chargrilled pork ! It's great! The prices are not really expensive !

Pruedence Pung

Had the chic fillet pho noodles soup . The chic breast is too huge. Prefer it in smaller pcs. Think the beef pho is more appetizing . Overall taste is quite good. Rating:5/10.

Cool McCool

The best place in town for rice paper rolls , spring rolls & pho . The chilli oil is the bomb

Robert Pascoe

The pho is said to have healing qualities and served as a hangover cure on many a Monday. I have also noticed a significant improvement in my bad knee and hair regrowth after a few visits.

Soham Adwani

The beef pho and rice paper rolls are beyond delish. Best place for pho in the CBD

Agnes Lim

Love their slice beef pho .. If you are up to it.. Add some pig 's blood..

寧.和零

Food is good.this is pork special. Try the beef noodle , is their signature ..

Keith Lee

Free tea with any order. No need to order any drinks. Great taste too for their pho !

Dale Escueta

Place the sprouts, basil and some chilies in the soup , then squeeze some lemon in. Stir and savor the broth! Perfect for a cold autumn/winter night.

Shazlan Sufian

The beef special is awesome. Love the beef & brisket too.

Flynn Jones

Least romantic lighting I've ever seen? My next tip will be more informed and less judgmental because I do plan on giving this place a chance; I just hope I don't accidentally break up with my lady.

Kristen Trappett

If your vegetarian there aren't many options. Vegetable pho is quite bland. Very busy but if you don't like sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers slurping soup , this isn't for you.

Jesse Stratford

The pho is great, but also consider he broken rice with pork chop . It's simple but fantastic.

Nino Condò

Very good vietnamese. Tasty pho and rice paper rolls .

Sky2404

Jacky Chan n many HK star pay a visit here,the beef noodle really nice

Jacky Yan

I didn't visit during peak time and can see staff having their meal. Service is ridiculously terrible and I feel so un-welcomed when I ask for a menu while the food is only on average.

KT

Pho is good. Can add some chilis in if you like spicy

Fuad Huat

Beef special bowl is da bomb.

Ronak Moussavi

The chicken soup is great but I think they have traduced the amount of chicken in the soup ! so we had to order a side of chicken .

Joachim Ooi

Pho with Beef Slices was good but did not change my life. MSG detected as I was literally very thirsty after drinking the broth. Would I come back again? Maybe not. -Penang Kia Food Critique-

S In Straya

Chargrilled chicken pho os monumental . $5 VBs as well

Patrick Ng

Chili Oil for $2.50

Daven

One of the best places to find Pho in the CBD and Melbourne.

Michelle Kea

I always and only get the special beef pho , da best in town

Chan Q Jovial

Very good taste

Sabrina Goh Shan

Great pho , and rice rolls .

YL YL

All noodles and rice . Good price

Charlotte Williams

Lovely Pho

Marco

Best Vietnamese so far. Clinton once dined here.

KT

Ironically, I would recommend only to go during peak hour. Service is already mediocre during these times, it is, quite simply, dreadful outside of these hours. I find the food quite good, though.

Wesley Li

Good Street food , cheap and yummy !

Sam

This place is quick, food is traditional and they are licensed.
