Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After walking past this eatery for many years, and after a recent trip to Vietnam, we were craving, so popped in for lunch. My husband was happy with his satay chicken. My Banh Mi had no fresh chili, pork was very dry and crackling way too salty and there was hardly any of it on the roll. The bread roll itself was lovely and fluffy and large. But overall, it was really lacking sauces and flavor, other than salt. Not to mention, we were initially served someone else' meal and despite us saying we didn't order it, the chef seamed not to not believe us. It was apparently for the gentleman behind us, however, his soup (entree) took so long to come out, he ate his main, which they tried to give to us! Our mains came out about 10 minutes apart and then the spring rolls finally arrived after we were half way through our mains. So we didn't eat all of our spring rolls which was probably not such a bad thing as they were not very nice. To top it off, we spent $61.80 and when we asked for a container for our leftovers, which we always take home for our chickens (ie the Spring rolls) they charged us 50 cents. For one Chinese takeaway container!!! (or Vietnamese in this instance).

Pho Viet serves Vietnamese noodles, you can eat inside or out; the noodles are made from beef and noodles, plus raw bean sprouts and Vietnamese basil. The pho can be accompanied by chicken salad. We also liked Vietnamese iced coffee.

Ordered a stir fry chicken with the egg noodles, I got what looked like a pho without the liquid. I was expecting what the name suggested. Vegetables and chicken stir fried together then the noodles also tossed in with a rich sauce. What was served was clean noodles at the bottom of the dish with the vegetables on the side, the chicken on another side and some bean sprouts also clumped in the bowl. It’s like I had to do the stir part myself and they forgot to fry it.

We stumbled on this place by accident while we were wandering around Cairns. So glad we did. The lady who ran the shop was truly Vietnamese, you could see it in her looks, hear it in her voice, and taste it in her cooking. Amazing authentic Vietnamese food came out of this tiny kitchen, and you'd be struggling to find better food for a lower price anywhere in town.

My husband and I hoped to visit Pho Street while at the Cairns Night Market. Unfortunately, they were closed due to a family emergency. Hope the best for them. We happened on Pho Viet instead. The food was very good and very affordable. I knocked off a star because we waited almost 30 minutes for our food when seemingly every other person was served in 1/2 the time. Weird. Pro tip: approach with confidence! See a table? Sit at it. See a menu? Take it. Know what you want? Get up to the counter and order it.

While this small restaurant specialises in noodle soups, especially Pho, other popular Vietnamese treats are available including Bahn Mi, the popular and delectable pork roll. Prices were very reasonable... AND you can get a genuine Vietnamese iced coffee.

Disappointing chicken pho. We ordered takeaway. It was a small, bland serve. There was no chilli or other sauce provided, the broth was pretty boring and overall we were really disappointed with a relatively expensive soup ($16). I know we are lucky to get great pho at home, but I did expect more from a restaurant in a city that has many Vietnamese chefs.

Came to this restaurant for a reasonably priced dinner with good food which is exactly what we got. We ordered the Spring Rolls and Rice Paper Pork & Prawns Rolls (the restaurant calls then transparent rolls). Both were good. We wanted to ordered the Crispy Pork with Vermicelli however the restaurant was so busy there was none left, it was suggested we ordered the Marinated Pork with Vermicelli instead. This meal was delicious. Great friendly, helpful and fast service and staff. With 2 soft drinks cost under $40 dollars. Highly recommend for quick, tasty and cheap meal.

The food here is always delicious but for some reason they can never get take away orders correct. For example I was assured that sauces were in the bag but when I got home the nem nuong vermicelli was sauceless 😐 similar anecdotes have occurred to us previously. Like once we were charged over the phone and in the restaurant (someone else picked up for us). In short, be really sure what transactions and interactions you're having with them. However their food is excellent. Be aware over the phone they'll quote menu item numbers at you but their Web menu doesn't have numbers.

Great food at very reasonable prices. There is a good selection of food and you can sit indoors or outside on the footpath. e had he Pho and the crisp chicken with vermicelli and both were fabulous. Reasonably large servings at around $17 -20. If you want good food at a good price then I highly recommend this place. Be prepared for a bit of a queue though when it gets busy. You can also buy beer and wine on premises to go with your meal

We felt a bit unwelcome upon entering the restaurant and receiving our food. Pho and bahn mi came out quickly and was a good size for the price but lacked some flavour. Bahn mi bread was fresh as well given it was 3pm.

I wonder if we ordered one of their less popular meals ?. because it’s hard to understand anyone rating them highly. The 2 chicken stir fries we ordered consisted of chicken and a large amount of onion. A few tiny morsels of vegetables. Little if any sauce and a lot less for our money than another Asian takeout the next night that was superb.

I visited Pho Viet in edge hill/Pease street in late 2020, and both times the quality was terrible. Serverly dissapointed and I'll never go back. I obviously didn't learn my lesson from the first visit, and somehow the second visit was worse than the previous visit. I ended up feeding most to my dogs I was that upset with the quality. Plenty of better options in edge hill, go literally anywhere else but this place!!

I was a tourist visiting in cairns and I speak Vietnamese . I could not believe after ordering in Vietnamese at this Pho viet restaurant how incredibly rude they were with O customer service , no tables & the beef noodle soup noodles were hard to swallow . Impeccably rude staff with no service desk . Do not go here unless you want to fight for a table & serve yourself .

I like to think if myself as a Beef Pho expert. Having had it in multiple places in the land of it's origin Vietnam and a number of different restaurants here in Australia. The first thing I look at for asian restaurants is how many actual asians are eating there. I mean if it's not good, I'm sure they are the experts in this field and there will be very little to none eating there. This little restaurant had loads of asians just tucking into all different kinds if dishes and the aroma coming from inside I knew I had to go in and have my share of it. The Pho took about 10 minutes after sitting to come out. I eat with my eyes first and I knew it was going to be A1. The taste if the broth was outstanding. The beef was slices just the right thinness and the noodles were plentiful. It was just what I wanted...However, there were some minor...very minor I must say things that would have given this place a 5...Fresh Chilli..when the lime and sprouts come out.. Would have been great and fresh lemon or lime tea or other fruit tea would also be nice. Not just the normal popular Australian choices from the fridge.
