Excellent service, fresh food, consistently good and very reasonably priced! A great place to get a Phở fix!

Only reason I ate here tonight was because Tra Mi next door is closed for the holidays. I might be biased but I don’t think their Phở Bo holds up to Tra Mi’s — the broth is not as flavoursome and the slivers of beef are too thick. The chicken phở my friend had wasn’t up to scratch either — I think we’ll both venture next door when we’re in the mood again for cheap Vietnamese!

Yuuuummmmm! I love finding places like this: the tacky tiles, the cheap looking menus that go on forever, and the friendly staff with whom I can barely converse. And of course, the exceptionally tasty food! Try a phở, or one of the other thousand soups on the menu — they’re fantastic — though I’ve only tasted a few. How about deep fried quail… mmm… How about dinner for two for less than a 20? Take-away from here, or eat in if you’re that way inclined. Awesome.

The pork chop is really good– well marinated and tasty. But the phở noodle soup wasn’t that great. The depth and the broadness of the soup wasn’t there — if that makes sense at all. A good broth must be 3 dimensional — rich but doesn’t linger for too long as it indicates an overuse of MSG. On the other hand it should not be too thin that we have to use lots of sauce to richen it. We had fried noodle soup with gravy– not especially fantastic but it had a strong smoky flavor– if you’re into that sort of thing.

I seriously love this place. Marrickville has some great Vietnamese restaurants. I’ve tried a few, but for super tasty, super cheap and super quick take away I keep craving Huong Giang. I’ve never actually«eaten in» here. I love getting my bags and bags of separate containers filled with salads, sauces, meats, noodles, broths, lemon wedges and salts. Taking them home, opening all the little containers and assembling your dishes is like Christmas! I can never go past the Bun Bo Hue Dac Biet; a super hot and spicy noodle soup filled with pork, beef, blood jelly and mystery meat(as Anthony Bourdain so perfectly puts it). Sounds horrific but good lord it’s addictive. This dish sets me back $ 10. But of course my eyes are bigger than my stomach so I grab a serve of their crispy salt quail($ 12)… quite possibly one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life! The lemongrass pork is fantastic. Their rice paper rolls and Phở are also delish. I honestly don’t think you can choose a bad dish at this place. Most dishes are around the $ 10 mark and MASSIVE. Reminiscing is making me hungry…

Let’s get one thing straight: if you’re looking for a swish restaurant to take your date, this probably isn’t the place for you. In fact, if you want any sort of extra trimmings, you should probably side-step this place completely and pop in to Bau Trong or Yen for Viet down the street. BUT, if you want authentic, no-fuss Vietnamese food, welcome to Bun Bo Hue Huong Giang. This is the kind of real-deal restaurant that still operates under garish bright lights with tissue boxes on the table, but it’s packed with Vietnamese diners and that’s always a good sign. Meals are around the $ 10 mark, come in generous portions and are served by super friendly staff. The phở here is excellent. I love the chicken, served in a flavoursome broth and with a huge assortment of chilli and condiments on the side.
