That said, if you’re more of a northern phở purist, you might prefer other places. Phở Gánh’s take is distinctly southern — sweeter, richer, and unapologetically bold in flavor.
The vibe of the place feels authentic and comforting, and the food always comes out fresh and steaming hot. You can tell they put real love into the broth.
One little thing though — the door. The screeching noise when it opens is unbelievably loud and a bit distracting. Please, please, please swap it out for a quieter doorbell or something else that doesn’t make everyone jump when someone walks in.
Food? Perfection. Service? Warm.
Door? Needs a fix.
But beyond that, Pho Ganh is 100% a must-visit in Melbourne.
Portions are generous without being silly. If you like texture, add tendon or tripe and the broth holds it all. The sides are worth a look too. Fresh rice paper rolls were neatly wrapped and full of herbs, and the fried spring rolls stayed crisp to the last bite. Vietnamese iced coffee lands strong and sweet, exactly what you want with hot soup, and the hot tea is a nice reset if you are taking it slow. Everything came out quickly and piping hot, which is half the comfort.
A few tips. The lunch rush is real, so swing a little early or late for a relaxed seat. Ask for chili on the side if you are testing your heat tolerance, and do not skip the house chili oil if you like fragrance with your spice. Tables turn fast, prices are fair for the quality, and the room stays tidy even when it is busy. It is the kind of place you return to when the weather turns or you just want something honest and warming.
Will definitely come back next time to try their Bun Bo Hue as recommended in many reviews.
Such a hidden gem in St Albans. It could have easily fooled me with its quiet outlook.
Highly recommend
A Vietnamese restaurant with strictly pho on their menu and different sorts of meats to have with it. I went for their fatty brisket, beef balls and rare beef to go in the mixed pho order. Had a Vietnamese black coffee as a drink and oh it was definitely stronger than your usual ones!
The pho broth is great and so were all the meats and noodles, the fatty brisket was a little chewy but I guess that’s how it is. A very fulfilling lunch for a chilly and windy day! Thanks for the pho, Tonkin!

Beef was tender, soup was hot and fragrant. On the table you have the usual sauces with the added bonus of pickled sliced garlic.
I also ordered the donuts which you can dip into hot coffee (something I used to have as a child with the parents) or you can simply add to your soup. Donuts are so fresh and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Absolute delight.
