I chose the classic pho tai to see how it would do compared to some of the other places I've been, and I must say I'm impressed! Though a bit more pricy (to be expected in Chatswood), the basil, bean sprouts and chilli were fresh and sprightly. The soup broth was flavoursome and just the right amount of salty. Complementary oolong. This is going to become one of my faves 'pho' sure ;)
Golden Bo is your classic Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant before all the trendy places popped up around Sydney and Chatswood. You tend to come here more for the Vietnamese dishes than the Chinese dishes as this is where they shine most. You would normally find this type of restaurant out west where they serve unpretentious good old fashioned Vietnamese cuisine. The only issue is the 'Chatswood premium' you pay being approximately 20% more than out west so it sits uncomfortable in this regard. However, this is not the west so you become resigned to that fact if you choose to eat here. I have frequented GB many times in the past and think their non soup dishes are far better than their soups. Com Tam Dac Biet - Grilled pork chop combination with rice. The Pork is marinated perfectly with hints of lemongrass and honey, char grilled well while the meat is still moist. It's served with steamed rice, fried egg, bei hoe (shredded pork skin), cha truing (steamed meatloaf/egg omelette) and salad. The Bei Hoe was dry and had a great chewy texture and flavour. The Cha Trung was not hard like most and had a good balance of egg, vermicelli, dried woodear mushroom that had the new omelette fluffiness. The nuoc cham (dipping sauce) was the standard fare and lacked a bit of lime but nevertheless enhanced the dish sufficiently. Overall, an excellent dish where every single element was cooked well. Banh Cuon Cha Lua - Steamed rice flour noodles with minced pork and woodear mushroom filling. The noodles were steamed well being translucent and retaining a bouncy texture and not too oily like many tend to be. It was served with cha lua (pork loaf) cooked bean sprouts, mint and salad and topped with fried shallots. Another traditional dish done well not skimping on quality or the many elements it comes with. Another tick for Gold Bo is the proper bird's eye red chilli they use where the heat is intense and the way it's suppose to be!
One thing you will notice about Golden Bo after flipping through the menu, are the above average prices. Compared to most Vietnamese restaurants you can expect to pay a couple dollars more for each dish. I can't remember the exact cost, but I'm pretty sure it has gone up from the current menu on Zomato even. However, they are generous with the serving sizes so that does make up for it, and most likely you will leave full or content. Food has always been pretty good, and I don't think I've ever been terribly disappointed with any dish. Service is also a bit better than your standard Asian place. It's difficult to expect amazing Vietnamese in Chatswood to be honest, and I don't even try. So if it tastes decent and everything else somewhat matches up, I'll still go. Sometimes you might be in the neighbourhood and feeling like some pho or vermicelli noodles, this can't be helped. Then Golden Bo isn't all too bad of an option. I just know I won't be stepping in if... read more
The best pho in chatswood, go there every week. great service too, my only choice.for pho so far, good potion, good taste, good environment and convient location
This joint has been around forever, needless to say we have been coming here forever????. Our go-to dishes have mostly been their grilled lemon grass pork chop w rice or vermicelli, sliced roast duck (boneless) w rice spaghetti (in soup), fish cakes to munch on while waiting for mains, crispy fried chicken w rice or egg noodles and of course their thinly sliced raw beef w rice noodles in soup. Always left with happy tummies after eating here.
