Neighbours to Lai Huat Seafood and just steps away from Non Entree Dessert Cafe, this chic space comes decorated with metal tables, neon lighting and graffiti walls — a great spot to visit the next time you and your friends are craving good Vietnamese food. Unlike Mrs Pho (its sister outlet on Beach Road that specialises in noodles), this eatery focuses on dishes meant for sharing. Excite your tastebuds with the No Star Where Salat ($7.90), a less commonly seen salad made with starfruit and tender slices of beef tossed in a sweet, spicy and tangy sauce. Also share the Mrs Pho Cockles ($10.90), a simple but delicious claypot of cockles stir-fried in garlic and pork lard, as well as the Con Heo Chop ($9.90), two perfectly grilled slabs of tender pork chops. Have it with the excellent homemade chili that takes everything to another level! Wash it all down with a cup of Viet Coffee with Condensed Milk ($4.50) at the end of your meal. Pro tip: Reserve one of the two round tables available if you're coming in a group of six to eight — it's partitioned off by beaded curtains, making it more intimate.
Avg Price: $20 per person
