About Pho Ba Ria 2

Pho Ba Ria 2 simmers deep, balanced broths that draw noodle seekers from across Adelaide to Hanson Road. The kitchen takes its time with the stock, coaxing clear, nuanced flavor without heavy grease or excessive salt. Patrons dial in their appetite across small to extra-large bowls, packing the dining room for fragrant beef combination pho alongside rich laksa and spicy beef noodle soup. Beyond the classics, the menu ventures into Vietnamese street eats like grilled street pizza and crab-rich bún riêu, washed down with fresh lemon soda or creamy durian smoothies. Tables fill quickly with multigenerational families digging into sizzling claypot rice and crispy spring rolls.

  • Flexible Bowl Sizing: Soups come in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes to suit light lunches or massive appetites.
  • Regional Street Specialties: Find rare regional dishes like bún riêu and Vietnamese street pizza alongside long-simmered beef pho.

  • Hard-to-Find Regional Soups

    Patrons can savor niche regional dishes like Bún Riêu that are seldom found on standard Vietnamese restaurant menus across Adelaide.

    One of the few places in Adelaide that have Bun Rieu and you absolutely have to get it.

    The slow-simmered pho broth provides deep comfort with a harmonious balance of sweet and savory seasoning that satisfies cravings without heaviness.
