Vietnamese soup on the cheap
Why locals love it
In the years after the Vietnam War, Melbourne experienced a rush of immigration from Vietnam. As is often the case in the city, these new inhabitants added to the multicultural nature of Melbourne, and its great restaurants! In a city that’s filled with Vietnamese places it may not be the absolute best, but it certainly guarantees a great feed.
Why you should visit it
Pho is the classic Vietnamese soup which usually has meat, rice noodles and is served with basil, mint, bean shoots and lemon to taste. Pho Dzung Tan Dinh specializes in this classic soup, and that’s pretty much it. There are some other items on the big menu printed on the wall, but Pho is the star. And it’s delicious.
Special tip
For around $10 you can get a great feed from around 9am to 10pm. Service is not amazing, and they squish many people to communal tables.
