What’s on the Pho Thin's Menu?

Pho Thin, originally established in Hanoi in 1979, has extended its culinary legacy to Australia, bringing authentic Vietnamese flavors to locales such as Melbourne and Chatswood. The Australian branches uphold the traditional recipes and introduce unique offerings to cater to diverse palates.​

Signature Dish: Phở Bò Tái Lăn

Central to Pho Thin's menu is the phở bò tái lăn, or stir-fried rare beef noodle soup. This distinctive dish features skirt steak stir-fried with garlic before being immersed in a meticulously simmered broth, resulting in a rich and aromatic flavor profile. The soup is garnished generously with chopped spring onions and coriander, reflecting the Northern Vietnamese phở style, which traditionally omits bean sprouts and Vietnamese mint.

Beyond the signature phở, Pho Thin Australia offers a variety of dishes to satisfy different preferences:​

  • Phở Options: Diners can choose from beef phở, chicken phở, mixed beef and chicken phở, and a tofu and vegetable phở (note: the broth remains beef-based). ​

  • Entrées: Delicious starters such as spring rolls are available to complement the main courses. ​

  • Vietnamese Donuts: These golden-brown deep-fried dough strips are perfect for dipping into the broth, offering a delightful textural contrast. ​
