About Pho Nam Dinh Leichhardt

Cut through the pasta-heavy hum of Norton Street for pure Northern Vietnamese comfort food. The beef pho arrives built on a simmered bone broth that regulars spike with table garlic vinegar and crisp orders of quẩy. For something off the spoon, order the crisp bánh xèo or the grilled pork vermicelli salad with sharp nước mắm. Weeknight regulars praise the generous portions and easy prices, while staff happily talk you through house specialties beside the dining room fish tank.

  • Authentic Northern Phở: Simmered bone broths served with table garlic vinegar, fresh noodles, and crispy quẩy for dipping.
  • Crisp Bánh Xèo & Bún: Crisp Vietnamese pancakes and smoky grilled pork vermicelli bowls balanced with tangy nước mắm.
  • Inclusive Dining Options: Extensive kitchen accommodations including dedicated gluten-free choices and hearty vegan tofu dishes.
