Located at 273 Swantown Street, Phong Son is a Vietnamese restaurant that is easily missed when you are not really looking.

Serving your traditional Vietnamese fare, you'll be able to find your regular Vietnamese favourites here - rice noodle soups, spring rolls, grilled pork with rice, etc.

I ordered my favourite combination with broken rice - consisting of a piece of grilled pork, fried egg, shredded pork and a traditional piece of pudding. SY ordered the sliced beef and tendon rice noodles.

A rule of thumb that we always try to follow is that we always need to try the rice noodle soups, as the soup is very important to determine how good the place is.

My bowl of soup for the rice and the plate of bean sprouts and mint leaves arrived first.

Melbourne Vietnam Noodle House is located on busy Swanston Street right in the heart of Melbourne city (in between Lonsdale St and Lt. Bourke St).

This place offers affordable meals under $10 and is generally quite busy during lunch and dinner times.

Let's take a look at some of the food that's available here.

This was the grilled chicken with steamed rice.

My earliest Vietnamese food exposure was at Hung Vuong 2 Saigon in Richmond.

This place is situated right in the middle of the busy Victoria Street Vietnamese district of Richmond (150 Victoria St).

You'd find that many people visit this place to have a quick meal of traditional Vietnamese noodles which is their main specialty here.

Anyways, we went to this place again on Sunday to have lunch.

Here's SY's sliced beef, brisket and tendon noodle soup.
