Pho @ My's Vietnamese, Canberra

I'll just come right out and say it: best pho in Canberra.

Until I tried the one at My's I thought Pho Phu Quoc in Dickson was the best pho in Canberra. When assessing a good pho, I look out for three things: the noodles (they have to be fresh\and they have to have a bit of integrity and chew—soft mushy noodles is a no no); the beef (it should be super thin and actually rare/raw when the pho gets to the table); and most of all, the broth (it should have a depth of flavour and you should be able to taste the spices—cinnamon, star anise etc).

The pho at My's ticks all those boxes but at $14.95 a bowl, it is kinda pricey for pho, perhaps even by Canberra standards. Still, that and the fact that Weston Creek isn't exactly close to where I live are definitely not enough for me to turn me off—evidenced by my going back for a second bowl only a few days after I had my first.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend their other stuff though, the two other dishes we tried (their beef hotpot and caramel pork) weren't exactly spectacular.
