I had soup with The Mug Punter today. We were going to go to Mekong. Instead, we decided to try a place a few doors up, calling its self plainly, Melbourne Vietnam noodle House Pho Bo Ga. The Menu here is far from plainly Vietnamese noodle soup. I’m not sure that’s a good thing. I find it disturbing when restaurants broaden their menus to temp more customers. It’s much better when they stick to their specialties. These guys had all soughts of things on the menu. The Mug and I ignored most of it, and went straight for the Phở Bo. It wasn’t bad at all. The medium size was generous and the soup was reasonably rich and flavorsome. Only $7.50 a bowl. They only gave us one plate of salad stuff though, and I accidentally used all the basil, leaving The Mug a withered twig.
No mirrored walls here. They seem to be going for a slightly modern look, but it’s a thin veneer.
