Mama Tran

Great spot for lunch, plenty of seating from table for two or you can fit a large group in here. Place was clean and tidy, great customer service! Food was good, reasonable prices and a great choice of items. Love the complimentary tea from the area they have set up. Also great selection of condiments, fresh beans, chili, lemon and the like, help yourself. Well set up place for good value meal that is very welcoming.

Super friendly and efficient service, really large servings. Got a bonus spring roll for waiting slightly longer for my food to come out, which was nice. Beef pho soup was really tasty - among the best in Perth! Slightly let down by the beef being slightly tougher than it should be and noodles a little too soft. Stuffed chicken wings were okay, but not the tastiest - definitely benefits from dipping in some Sriracha. Overall would recommend :)

The broken rice wasn’t too bad but the Pho was a disappointment, basically they filled the bowl with mountain of noodle with not much meat in it and no character taste to it, just a fish sauce taste. It’s not bad if you’re in rush for a quick lunch but for the price, I would go to a proper Vietnamese Pho restaurants.

I’m looking forward to trying Mama Tran a second time. I had the Rare Beef Rice Noodle soup and it was good, but just missed the mark. The rare beef was not quite as rare as I expected, there was no red left in it. But it was not over cooked either. The broth base was very tasty and the best part about the soup. I just felt that it was missing the strong infusion of flavours it needed, especially for $13.5 This being said, this place is clearly an institution. It’s lunch time on a Wednesday and there is a steady stream of business professionals coming and going and enjoying their lunches. Long communal tables inside and a small selection of seating outside gives you at choices of seating wether it’s lunch for one, of Friday Funch Day with the whole office. So, I’ll be back to give them another shot. I’m keen to try the Vietnamese Rolls and one of their coffees to see if I can improve my rating.

Not a bad place at all. Service was fast, and it’s obviously a popular spot for locals, it was bustling. I had a bowl of chicken pho, a meal I eat in America regularly as it’s one of my favorites. The bowl of pho was not bad, but I think I prefer a richer broth, as well as I never did find any Basil. And they did have a wide variety of common Vietnamese meals to choose from. I think I will venture to another shop to compare Perth’s Pho.. I wish I had time to hit every spot.
