Located right next to Nickeldime Drafthouse at Novena Gardens, this casual Vietnamese eatery dishes out authentic staples, and may just be your next favourite spot to satisfy a pho craving. The Australian Beef Pho ($14) is a fail-safe choice, but if you’re okay with a little heat, get the Spicy Australian Sliced Beef Noodles (Hue Style) ($14) — instead of the usual flat rice noodles, this uses rice vermicelli, similar to the ones used in Laksa. Not only is the broth the perfect flavour and aroma, the generous portion of ingredients is also more than enough to fill you up. Swing by with your colleagues at lunch and take advantage of their value-for-money lunch sets. For just $12, you get a choice of a Big Bowl (any pho on the menu) and one spring roll (it’s usually the Fresh Vietnamese Prawn Paper Roll unless sold out). Complete your meal with either a dessert or a soft drink for just $2.
Avg Price: $15 per person

I'm usually not a fan of spicy soups, but this is definitely worth trying! The broth is so flavourful and intense, EPIC 😍 Love at first slurp. There isn't a lot of seats (two tables of four, one long table of eight and bar seats) so best to come in small groups or make reservations prior. Also, come for the lunch sets where you can get the pho bowls (this included) and ONE spring roll for $12. #burpplecheapNgood
