So Pho, The Woodleigh Mall

Claimed

So Pho is a halal Vietnamese restaurant. There were no queues when we arrived around 7pm on a weekend. Staff was especially courteous, efficient and helpful. One gave my helper dates while waiting for food after breaking fast. We observed that noodle dishes were served much faster than rice dishes. Noodle dishes were served in about 10 minutes. Rice dishes took around 20-30 minutes. The bun noodles had a good mix of ingredients, including meats, lettuce, basil leaf, carrots, cucumber, sour vegetables, peanuts, fried shallots and spring roll. I ordered beef bun noodles. I found the beef to be a tad salty and tough, though well stir fried and seasoned. I felt the vegetables were typical at best. It isn't that fresh. The sour vegetables weren't too sour and soggy. The spring roll was relatively crispy but too oily and a tad salty. The noodles are well executed with good texture and moisture. Taste was a little lacking. However, by mixing the egg yolk, it was really flavourful. The chili sauce mix was a bit sour and not spicy. It also complemented the noodles well. I tried some basil beef and lemongrass beef too. Both beef are prepared in similar styles but with different sauces. I found the basil beef had better and deeper flavour. The lemongrass beef had a lighter taste. Rice was relatively tough and the keropok was average at best. Their salted and pepper prawns were also typical at best. Prices after GST and service fees are a tad steep, but not out of the ordinary for restaurants at shopping malls. I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here. Nonetheless, it's definitely a fine restaurant especially for halal food. Kudos to their staff for exceptional service and thoughtfulness for Muslim guests!

Love the food & service here!! Staff are super friendly and the food is just so good? My friends & i are avid patrons of this restaurant Our go to orders are the sliced beef pho, the spicy is super good too Hahahaa..

It was always good. You absolutely have to order the summer roll. Pineapple drink is so delicious and refreshing. But when I went on Sunday, the meat had a bad smell so I couldn't eat it.

Had lunch at So Pho and it was a delicious experience! The food was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere was nice and chill—probably because it was a weekday. It was also our first time visiting Woodleigh, and we really liked the calm vibe of the neighbourhood. Definitely a great spot for a relaxed meal.

Service was amazing! Staff were truly very kind and efficient. Special thanks & appreciation to May!!! ??? Food was really nice & the hotpot is truly value for money
