About Pho Vien

Pho Vien brings simmering, interactive Vietnamese dining to Ashfield with simmering tabletop pho hot pots and deeply steeped broths. Gather a group beneath the lantern wall and simmer thin slices of beef, leafy greens, and noodles right at the table. Regulars swear by the short ribs pho—the meat falls off the bone with an unmistakable smoky char—while bowls of spicy nutty beef broth offer intense warmth. Fresh prawn rice paper rolls, crisp banh xeo, and soft bao round out the table, complemented by containers of house pho stock chilling by the counter for home cooking.

  • DIY Tabletop Pho Hot Pot: Interactive tabletop broth service paired with fresh beef cuts, crisp greens, and rice noodles cooked right at the table.
  • Specialty Ribs & Nutty Broth: Tender, fall-off-the-bone grilled beef short ribs and hearty spicy nutty broth options.
  • Take-Home House Stock: Packs of signature house pho stock and frozen ready meals available to take home straight from the front counter.

  • Interactive DIY Tabletop Pho Hot Pot

    Diners can prepare their own ingredients at the table, boiling tender meats and fresh vegetables together in richly flavored broth.

  • Tender Grilled Beef Short Ribs Pho

    Noodle bowls feature premium cuts such as fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs grilled with rich smoky flavors.

    The short ribs pho was insanely tender — the meat just falls off the bone and has a smoky, grilled flavor.

  • Distinctive Spicy Nutty Beef Pho

    Specialty noodle soups offer bold, robust options like creamy and spicy nutty beef broth paired with fresh herbs and raw beef.

    If you love meat and spice, the spicy nutty beef pho is a must-try—add extra raw beef for that melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

  • Deeply Comforting Broth and Generous Servings

    Steaming, deeply seasoned broth and generous bowls deliver a genuinely satisfying, heartwarming dining experience.

    The pho was authentic with a rich, flavorful broth, and the Vietnamese mini hot pot was delicious and comforting with generous ingredients.

Essential tips on portions, takeaway packing, and arrival

  • Share the Hot Pot Set

    Even the small pho hot pot set provides generous portions with fresh beef and broth that can easily satisfy two diners.

  • Note Takeaway Box Fees

    Takeaway containers carry an extra charge, so plan ahead if you intend to pack up remaining broth or noodles.

  • Plan Around Tricky Parking

    Street parking near the Liverpool Road shopfront can be tricky, so consider walking or planning extra time to find a spot.
