Our Story
Bà Năm served phở in Tây Ninh, Vietnam in the 1970s. Today her grandson carries those same recipes to Adelaide: unchanged, unhurried.
Passed down through generations, unchanged since the 1970s.
Bone broth simmered for 18 hours, the way Bà Năm always made it.
North, Central and South Vietnam — all on one table.
Modern comfort wrapped in the soul of a family kitchen.
Signature Dishes
Three house signatures to start with, and plenty more on the full menu.

Guests Say
The broth is incredible — it genuinely feels like being back in Vietnam. My go-to in Adelaide.
The bún bò huế is the real deal — not watered-down Vietnamese. Properly spiced, properly proper.
The cơm tấm took me straight back to Saigon. Tastes exactly like it should. Thank you, Bà Năm.
Best prices through the Bà Năm Restaurant App. Also on Uber Eats & DoorDash for delivery.
