PHO 888 Box Hill: Reviews & Ratings

I don’t know what the other reviews are but every time me and my sister come here, our food is always so good. We’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years already and we’ve always enjoyed our food. Me and my sister usually get a medium or large pho with rare beef, and I get the addition beef balls with spring rolls. The soup of the pho is so flavourful and the noodles are perfectly chewy. The spring rolls are to die for; perfectly crunchy skin and they soak up the soup so well. Adding in the bean-shoots, mint and a bit of chilli makes the pho so much better. The interior of this place is great too. It reminds me of Malaysia. I hope this place sticks around for a long time so I can keep coming back and enjoying a delicious bowl of pho and spring rolls.

Authentic rare beef pho. Service was good. Some of the rare beef a bit overcooked. The broken rice is nice but portion size could be bigger. Cash-only is a problem in a pandemic. Prefer contactless payment.

Located in the heart of Box Hill South, PHO 888 Box Hill stands out as a genuine gem for lovers of Vietnamese pho. This cozy restaurant at 552 Station St offers a vibrant menu that showcases the depth and nuance of traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Known for its Rare Beef Pho and Salted Chicken Pho, PHO 888 excels in crafting richly layered broths that balance aromatic herbs, tender noodles, and fresh, quality meats.

A standout dish is the Rare Beef Pho, where the broth is intensely flavorful without being overpowering—the perfect harmony of beef essence and fragrant spices. The noodles boast an ideal chewiness, complementing the silky texture of thinly sliced rare beef. Accompanying this iconic dish are the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, praised for their crisp skin and ability to soak up the pho broth, elevating each bite to a satisfying crunch and burst of flavor. These small but expertly executed rolls reflect the care and authenticity poured into every item.

For those seeking heartier options, the Special Broken Rice and Spicy Beef Bun Bo Hue offer robust flavors that hold their own alongside the more delicate pho options. The menu also extends beyond traditional fare, inviting diners to explore unique beverages like the Three Colour Drink and Ice White Coffee, which provide refreshing and sweet counterpoints to the savory mains.

The ambiance of PHO 888, reminiscent of Malaysia's casual eateries, adds to the comforting dining experience. It’s clear why regulars keep returning—there's a consistency in quality and a warmth in service that makes this spot a go-to for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Melbourne. While the cash-only policy may be a hurdle for some, it does little to diminish the genuine satisfaction of a well-prepared bowl or the joy of biting into fresh spring rolls paired with mint and a dash of chili.

PHO 888 Box Hill is more than just a pho restaurant; it is a place where tradition and flavor meet in every bowl, offering a true taste of Vietnam that continues to win the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
