Country Pho

Specializing in traditional pho and other Vietnamese classics, this cozy restaurant is a true gem for anyone craving rich, aromatic flavors and hearty portions.

The menu at Country Pho is thoughtfully curated, featuring standout dishes like the Marinated Grilled Chicken Egg Noodle Soup and the irresistibly crispy yet tender Crispy Skin Chicken Noodle Soup, both served with fresh vegetables and your choice of egg or fresh noodles. For those seeking something lighter yet equally satisfying, the Gluten-Free Vermicelli Noodles In The Bowl is a refreshing option, bursting with layers of textures—from crunchy pickled carrots to fragrant herbs and a sprinkling of crushed peanuts that add a delightful crunch.

Don’t miss their authentic Banh Mi offerings, with fillings like Marinated Tofu, Grilled Marinated Chicken, and Crispy Pork, served on freshly baked, warm, and crunchy rolls. A particular favorite praised by patrons is the crispy pork banh mi, complemented by juicy pork and a generous portion of crackling—an addictive combination that lingers on the palate.

To end your meal on a sweet note, indulge in their signature desserts such as the Country Fried Ice Cream with delicate filo pastry or the velvety Country Black Sticky Rice Yogurt. These treats perfectly balance flavors and textures, creating an unforgettable finale to your dining experience.

The atmosphere at Country Pho is warm and bustling, reminiscent of a traditional Vietnamese country cafe where vibrant conversations and laughter fill the air. The lively energy is contagious, though some guests appreciate a touch more quiet to truly savor their meals. The friendly staff strive to offer attentive service, often accommodating busy periods with a genuine smile.

Many diners have raved about the authenticity and generous portions, with one visitor describing it as “the best Vietnamese in Geelong,” while another highlighted the fair pricing compared to Melbourne’s more expensive venues. The fresh ingredients and expertly balanced flavors demonstrate the chefs’ dedication to quality and cultural authenticity.

Whether you’re stopping by for a comforting bowl of pho, craving a fresh banh mi, or seeking a place to gather with friends over flavorful Vietnamese fare, Country Pho promises a heartfelt culinary journey that leaves you yearning to return. A visit here feels less like a meal and more like a warm embrace from Vietnam’s vibrant food culture, right in the heart of Geelong West.
