Warm Your Soul with the Best Pho in Sydney

If you're looking for the best comfort food in Sydney, look no further than a piping-hot bowl of pho. This Vietnamese noodle soup has become a national addiction, known for its hearty and healing qualities. While the core cooking technique remains consistent - extracting natural flavours from meat and vegetables - differences in northern and southern Vietnamese regional cuisine make for varying saltiness, spiciness, and sweetness in each bowl.

If you're craving the ultimate bowl of pho, we've got you covered. Our team has scoured the city to find the best pho in Sydney. Get ready to slurp through our carefully curated list and discover your new favourite pho spot.

Only available on select Mondays, a rotating menu of noodle soups warm customers from the inside out. Taking it further than your regular beef pho, these bowls are layered with egg or rice noodles, spices, proteins, wontons and more. Follow on socials to find out which soup is next, and when!

Cam on Vietnamese Restaurant 

This is an achievement if ever we've seen one. Cam on Vietnamese Restaurant in Market City is now home to the world's largest Pho. We've never been prouder of our city.

If you're feeling extra hungry, swing by Cam On's in Haymarket and you can attempt the 4 litres of soup, 2kg of noodles, 1.5kg of meat and 500g of bean sprouts. And it's no basic recipe, either. This one has been passed down through generations! Not so hungry? They do normal sizes too.

Great Aunty Three

Great Aunty Three is a classic, fresh, award-winning Vietnamese eatery serving delicious dishes, including rice paper rolls, banh mi, and 12-hour roast pork. However, the real standout is their authentic and aromatic pho, made using a recipe passed down by Chef Michael Le's grandmother.

The broth is flavoured with basil and star anise, resulting in a mouth-watering taste to satisfy your cravings. In addition to their traditional beef and chicken pho bowls, Great Aunty Three also offers vegan pho topped with soy chicken or tofu.

Pho Tau Bay is the small, unpretentious, sometimes overlooked noodle house that's been serving delicious pho since 1980.
