I have mixed feelings about this place, although I live very close to Cabramatta I usually venture to Bankstown for Beef Pho, this place offers good tasting pho but the little cramped restaurant is non-airconditioned, stuffy and to be honest, rather dirty and grotty.
I live in Cabra and have been eating at Pho 54 regularly for at least 3 years, and, as I have a work history as a chef and have also travelled to Vietnam many times I will say without doubt this is some of the best Vietnamese food I have ever eaten. I have just returned from 2 weeks in HCMC and will be having breakfast there this morning.
To those who want "ambience", get over yourselves, this place is about consistency and quality and it has both in abundance, Highly recommended for anyone who simply appreciates great food in an original and non pretentious setting.
I love pho cos it's my favourite food and I love this kind of pho because it doesn't contain cinammon, is yummy and contains tender beef and the quality of the restaurant may not be much, but it is the food enjoyable.
I haven’t tried the pho but the broken rice is nice, and there is nothing over $10 here. But there is a limited menu here, also the waitresses English is poor. Even the menu on the wall, not all of it is in English. It's a small place, so walking past would be easy.
I really liked this place - I had the broken rice with pork chops , and my friend had the Pho. We both really enjoyed it - well worth it too ! Think it was about $7-$8 per plate.
Ambience is what you would expect from Cabra. So I couldn't rate it highly. Everything else is great! Love authentic Pho, and this Pho closely resembles my mum's, maybe that's why this is the only place my parents will eat. Great value for money. Definitely a place to check out if you're ever in Cabra for lunch.
Very typical Vietnamese pho place, busy bustling and very prompt service, no menus as you are expected to know what you want to eat and get out as fast as possible. Lovely place :). Pho is typical of middle Vietnam style (not sweet) overall good for the price ($7.50).
Have been going there for the last 15 years and will keep doing so. The best "Pho" for people who truly appreciate a beef broth, not too much of the fragrant stuff like cinnamon etc
Pretty much my 2nd place of choice if you want some nice pho or broken rice dishes with pork chops. Very good priced for the large or small bowl and quick service. I think I remember the large bowl being $7.50. Most of the time you'll have to share a table with someone but thats mainly because its always so busy. Don't expect a clean restauarant, tables are mainly sticky still from previous eater but other than that.. a thumbs up from me.
