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.

    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.
