About Cliff Cafe & Pho (Pho HoHoHo)

Steaming bowls of homestyle beef pho deliver genuine simmered depth right opposite Arncliffe station. Regulars treat this unhurried pocket as a neighbourhood secret, skipping trips to Cabramatta for tender brisket, golden spring rolls, and fragrant broth served with fresh bean sprouts and proper Thai basil instead of substitute mint.

  • Traditional Herb Plate: Steaming bowls arrive with authentic Thai basil and fresh bean sprouts rather than common mint substitutes.
  • Station-Side Enclave: Steps from the train platforms, providing generous bowls and vermicelli salads without cross-town travel.
