Phở is a popular street food in Việt Nam, consisting of 8hrs slow cooked beef broth, linguine-shaped rice noodles called “bánh phở”, a few herbs and meat, primarily served with either beef or shredded chicken. Originated from the North; but the Hanoi and Saigon styles of Phở differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs. Our take is a blend of both region!

Race into Flemington for Vietnamese cheap eats that go way beyond a bowl of pho
Flemington might be best known for hosting the race that stops the nation, but mere metres away from the racecourse is Hem 27, a Vietnamese eatery in the Showgrounds Village shopping complex where you can bet on a winning meal for less than $20.
The 6 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Melbourne
Hem 27 was listed in The Age Good Food Guide 2017 as the Best Cheap Eat in Melbourne. The menu is full of must-try meals, including thick soft-shell noodle soup and aromatic Vietnamese style beef stew, as well as recipes passed down by owner Michael Nguyen’s mother.
Melbourne’s best pho and noodle soup restaurants 2016
They’ve whittled out the Chinese dishes usually found on lengthy Vietnamese restaurant menus and expanded on the Vietnamese offerings, which means you’ll find not-everywhere dishes here
The Age Good Food Guide 2017: Full list of award winners
Fitted out like a swish Saigon street stall, Hem 27 is a classic cheap eats all-rounder.
Full review on August 4th
I am willing to suspend reality and go with the Saigon alleyway vibe they’re going for here, but the service is too good, the drinks and desserts too polished, and the place too spotless to make me think I’m hearing the buzz of Honda scooters
Melbourne’s top 50 cheap eats 2016
This place is likely to make most pho-goers rethink their definition of a Vietnamese restaurant.
Hem 27 delivers authentic Vietnamese
I recently returned from Vietnam where I learnt that pho is the country’s blandest noodle soup. Sacrilegious, I know, but it led me to Hem 27, which specialises in regional noodle soups.
Melbourne’s best BYO restaurants
Sleek Vietnamese cafe with top shelf noodle soups, hefty hawker snacks and a chilled approach to bringing you own? Lock it in. They do a mean iced coffee, too.
