Vietnamese Mint

This is our go to for pho in the inner east of Brisbane. It is consistently the better option of the few places in neighbouring areas. It did not disappoint when we fulfilled our pho craving there again today. We got the regular pho (there is a 'special ' version that adds brisket). Beautiful flavoursome broth with paper thin rare beef that wasn 't fatty or gristley as we have found in the past at some other places. Served with lemon, bean sprouts and thai basil on the side and a range of condiments to add as you see fit. I also really love the young coconut juice so refreshing and the right hit of sweetness after the savoury flavours of the pho.

I’ve been meaning to visit Vietnamese Mint in Bulimba since it opened. As you should all know by know, I am an absolute pho-fiend and love trying all there is in Brisbane. And around the world for that matter!. Anyway I heard that Vietnamese Mint had created some pretty funky and interesting salads so I went in to check them out. I ordered both (naturally) and a pho (obviously) and was impressed by all three! The Unicorn noodle salad was chicken based with a traditional vietnamese salad mix but with noodles infused with natural food colouring to make them look just like what a Unicorn would delicately eat before prancing about. The Magic noodel salad (my favourite) was a thai beef salad with noodles infused with Butterfly Pea Flower! They were gorgeous and blue. What I loved most about them, was that while they were fun and beautiful, they both still maintained their authentic, fresh salad flavours.

Good Char Kwe Teow and Seafood Laksa.<br/ <br/ Pho was average for a vietnamese restaurant but the two above was cooked to my liking. <br/ <br/ ps: if you like spicy, you can request them to cool it with fresh chillies.

THE BEST ICED TEASSeriously so in love with the drinks they make.The food is great too with plenty of options and you can get almost everything vegetarian.Personally wasn't a fan of the virmicelli noodle salad but my partner loved his.

God I love this place. Their Vermicelli Lemongrass Chicken bowls are so filling and the perfect dish when you 're planning on having snacks during a movie next door. Service is always friendly and prices are pretty good for Oxford St. Portion size on 'main dishes ' can be a little hit and miss but the flavours pack a punch.
