Solid for price and location, but be warned the 5 star reviews are because you get a free coffee in return!

Even though it is in a mall food court, it was one of my favourite places in CBD. The pho + banh mi combo is a great value and the food is very tasty! It is on the -1 floor (I spent ages looking for it on the 5th floor food court). Definitely recommend the beef pho and the crispy pork banh mi as those are amazing and I’d happily return for them any day!

Scrumptious bbq chicken Bahn Mi. So fresh and tasty. The bread was so nice and crispy on the outside and soft inside. Fresh ingredients and the best tasting Bahn Mi I have had in Melbourne. Loved it. Viet coffee was delicious too.

Flavorful Pho with tender meat ingredients! We were in a bit of a hurry and needed a quick dinner, so we decided to try Old Man Pho Emporium – Vietnamese Restaurant. I wasn’t expecting much, but their signature pho completely surprised me. It was so good I felt compelled to leave this review to give them the credit they deserve. I’ve had plenty of pho over the years, but this one truly stood out in terms of flavor and quality. The beef was tender and the seasoning was just perfect. If you love Vietnamese pho, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!
