AN Restaurant [Restaurant Review ]
Where should you go if you want the best PHO? Apparently to AN PHO Restaurant in Bankstown, they say it's the best PHO in Sydney, and my friend Filomena who took me there absolutely loves it! Her favourite on the PHO menu is the PHO topped with cooked beef. I was about to go for the PHO topped with chicken & eggs and the waiter asked me if I was sure about my choice, which made me "chicken out" and just ended up going for
the plain PHO topped with Chicken (no eggs), and that's what it was pretty plain! Although I must say, a healthy tasting light meal.
The portions are huge. You can choose between Small bowl $9.70 or Large bowl $10.80, and the small is pretty large! I ended up helping my friend eat her PHO topped with cooked beef, which I do agree was much tastier than the chicken.
PHO is a traditional Northern style Vietnamese special rice noodle soup. Traditional Northern style Vietnamese specially prepared rice noodles, topped with fresh beef or chicken, fresh picked herbs, bean sprouts and served in a steaming hot secret rice soup. And at AN PHO Restaurant that's all they have on the menu! PHO!!! So don't Go if you don't want PHO, because AN won't serve you anything else.
AN PHO Restaurant is quite a large place, with much seating. The feeling is like a noodle bar/school canteen style. I was kind of impressed with their high-tech facilities, sliding doors (even for the toilets), and touch screen ordering tools. The service was super fast and it's a great place to have something (that something would be PHO) quick to eat, with a bunch of friends or family.
If you go to AN PHO at during the day/weekend, you may as well take a stroll in the Bankstown Plaza (China Town), Just behind AN PHO and check out the food/fruit markets and hidden plaza's with more little Vietnamese eateries, herbal remedy markets, fish markets, fruit and Vietnamese grocers, with many interesting ingredients and traditional food you'd feel you've stepped into another country. If you've been to Cabramatta well Bankstown China Town is similar but at a smaller scale. A great cultural experience!
