Pho Bien Vietnamese Reataurant

I have been going here for a while now as Pho Bien is my usual go too place. Usually when people ask food suggestion’s in West Auckland, I ALWAYS tell them Pho Bien! Pho Bien is very welcoming with the service and staff, and is always delivering top notch meals every single time. All my friends and family i’ve brought here were never disappointed with the hype that I had anticipated for this place, and the best thing that I love about this restaurant is the feeling of home, the feeling of mothers cooking through their dishes and food! Being a student away from home, Pho Bien has always be the go too which causes such a sentimental value for this delicious place. Very much recommend !

The food is awesome and it never fails to make me full! But sometimes I feel that the portions are just too big. The service it great as well, I know many people that work here so it’s easy to ask for orders. The wait time is a little long though. The atmosphere however, is very comfortable for me. I like the music choices— the setting of the room. It’s all very nice! I will most definitely come here with my family every few weeks.

We are regulars here for a number of reasons. The food is consistently impressive; the freshness, flavours, authenticity & presentation. The service is friendly, plus portions are generous & well-priced. We’ve brought anyone we know here, to dine, since discovering it ourselves! A hidden gem out West. The Summer Special Bahn Mi is outstanding!

*When a customer is waiting right by the front door, it’s much easier to just hand it out instead of waiting for them to come in because they won’t know when food is done. :) Great Pho here! If you want something healthy this is a great place to go for, it’s got both flavor and quality. Must try: the beef pho(Vietnamese rice noodle, a mild rice flavor but with the combination of soup base it brings out more flavour), the beef rice noodle(great flavour too), I haven’t tried the hotpot yet but it seems good. Opt for extra beef and noodle so it’s more filling! Also try: Deep fried spring rolls(although expensive and personally I don’t really like the dipping it comes with, it tastes good on its own or with the sweet chili sauce on table. Had the pork noodle once and never again lol. Overall, good price, great atmosphere, clean tables.

My fiance's meal was better than mine, so have to branch out more next time. But then maybe I don't understand Vietnamese food enough. The summer rolls were outstanding. Really cheap too. Couldn't help thinking what a great school lunch they would make. The staff were very friendly. It seems to be a popular place. Fifteen years in the area and I have never tried this road for food before. I would recommend that everyone try this road for food. There a lot of options. I hope to go back to try more of the options and find out why they have such a high rating. They kind of need to tell you what the most popular dishes are before you order.
