If you’re looking for a cleansing yet filling meal to satisfy your lunch break, Subiaco’s Rokeby Road has three popular Vietnamese restaurants and cafes serving up well-loved Pho, rice paper rolls and other favourites.
Fee Fi Pho Fum
This Vietnamese and Chinese kitchen serves a combination of Pho, Vietnamese salads, soups, rice paper rolls, stir-fries and fried rice, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. They are known for their Pho, and there is a self-serve bar full of bean sprouts, sauces, spring onions and chillies to spice up your bowls.
Their Pho can come with beef, duck, pork, chicken and tofu, with a choice of rice vermicelli and egg noodles. Their most popular dish is the Special Beef Pho, a true delight for meat lovers. However, there are also vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options on offer.
If you are up to it, try their “pho-nomenon” challenge with their Giant’s Bowl. If you can finish this bowl of Pho jam-packed with a litre of broth and a kilo of veggies and noodles in 20 minutes or less, it’s free! If you can’t stomach it, you’ll be set back $50.
Fee Fi Pho Fum’s are currently open for lunch and dinner Monday to Friday, with the weekends reserved for dinner only. Soon they will be able to resume to normal trading hours, from 11am to 9pm every day.

If you’re wondering why Subiaco’s Phoever is not on our list, it is because they have unfortunately closed down permanently.
