About Pho Tau Bay

Cabramatta noodle hunters head straight to Pho Tau Bay for deep bowls brimming with fragrant broth and hefty cuts of beef. The queue out front turns fast—tables turn quickly thanks to efficient staff. Locals swear by the rare beef pho, paired with blanched bean sprouts and silky rice noodles swimming in an aromatic broth that needs no hoisin. But the seasoned regular's order is the tapioca noodle soup with blue swimmer crab, pork knuckle, and fried fish-prawn cakes. Finish the meal with a dark, icy cà phê đá.

  • Deep, Aromatic Broths: Fragrant, well-balanced broths paired with blanched bean sprouts that need zero extra table condiments.
  • Crab & Pork Knuckle Soup: Specialty tapioca noodles loaded with blue swimmer crab, pork knuckle, and fried fish-prawn cakes.
  • Generous Meat Portions: Bowls packed chock-full with generous portions of rare beef, brisket, meatballs, tendon, and tripe.
  • Rapid, Welcoming Service: Fast-moving lines and attentive service that accommodates families, children, and longtime regulars.

  • Swift Turnaround During Peak Rushes

    Despite persistent queues on busy Cabramatta eat streets, fast-moving service gets guests seated and served within minutes.

    We arrived to find ourselves 4th in the queue, but the line moved quickly—we were seated in just about 10-15 minutes.

  • Accommodating and Family-Friendly Service

    Attentive front-of-house staff make family dining effortless, showing patience and warmth when seating toddlers and multi-generational groups.

    The uncles and workers there are always very understanding (especially when you bring kids), very patient and helpful when you're indecisive with orders.
