Pho 236: Vietnamese, Newtown (31 July 2009)

236 King Street, Newtown NSW 2042



Crispy & Tender Squid

This cheap and cheerful Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant has been serving up one of my favourite Salt & Pepper Squid dishes in Sydney — Phamish used to cook it like this but I don't find theirs as crispy anymore since their move to Palmer Street location. Good sized rustic cut pieces of crispy outer batter and tender squid inside. While dining I noticed it was also a popular choice for other customers. The restaurant is in a handy location for a bite to eat before visiting the Dendy cinemas if you're lucky enough to grab one of the tables. If you don't mind the bright fluorescent lighting it's a fairly cheap place to eat. For the first time I tried their toilets and discovered one of my personal pet hates of when a tap is set too close to the sink so you can't fit your hand under it properly. Nevertheless this won't stop me coming back again.
