Book NowAbout Pho Moi
Steaming, aromatic bowls of noodle soup make Pho Moi the ultimate cold-weather refuge in Katoomba. After a brisk day exploring Blue Mountains lookouts, diners pack this buzzing corner spot for ladles of clear, fragrant pho broth and generous heaps of tender beef. The kitchen handles rich cravings just as smoothly with plates of crispy pork over broken rice or spicy bun bo hue. Those facing brisk evenings outside stay warm under electric street heaters, while an unexpected, dedicated gluten-free menu takes the anxiety out of ordering. Finish with a glass of drip-brewed cà phê sữa đá over condensed milk.
- Heated Outdoor Seating: Guests warming up after cold mountain walks can sit outside under electric heaters when indoor tables fill up.
- Dedicated Gluten-Free Menu: A dedicated gluten-free menu offers clear, safe options across noodle soups and classic plates.
- Generous Vietnamese Staples: Hearty bowls come ladled with clear, aromatic broth and generous cuts of beef or chicken, alongside crisp pork rice plates.

Before you head over
Practical guidance on wait times, heating options, and dietary menus
Anticipate Peak Cold-Weather Waits
Peak lunch and dinner rushes frequently draw queues of 15 to 30 minutes in cold mountain weather, so arrive slightly off-peak or dress warmly for waiting outside.
Ask Staff to Activate Outdoor Heaters
If indoor tables are packed when temperatures drop, opt for outdoor street seating and ask the team to switch on the electric patio heaters.
Request the Separate Gluten-Free Menu
If navigating gluten sensitivities, request the separate gluten-free menu at the front counter to order safely from a dedicated selection of dishes.
