It’s been a while but we finally got over our fear of the gansta westside and ventured back into Sunshine this time (or as the locals lovingly call it – Scumshine).
What did we eat?
Pho Tai Nam x 5 in various sizes.

This time we even splashed out and got some coffees, an advocado shake and a sour sop shake. Living it up post GFC!
What I liked:
- It’s clean!! Now, if you’re anything like me, you would have read that and scoffed as there are generally no clean places with good tasting pho…I mean where do you think all the flavour comes from? However, not only was this place tasty, it was actually clean too (disclaimer: clean by the average pho restaurant standards).
- They have home made satay sauce which is different from all the other pho places that we’ve gone to – and it’s quite tasty.
- You don’t have to manually wipe the chopsticks and spoon with tissues – they come pre-wrapped!
- The Mt Everest size pile of bean shoots we got was also amazing – seriously, look at it compared to the size of the spoon.


What I didn’t liked:
- From RayZha: “they need 4 pho sizes: small, medium, large and massive.” Clearly the large wasn’t big enough to tame the beast.

Top Tip:
- Try mixing the hoi sin & satay sauce together as a dip for your beef.
Rating: 8/10 Great pho and a convenient location but Pho Kim Long manages to just stay in the lead based on taste!
