Vietnamese Stall – Sim Lim Square Food Court

One of the things I am always craving are Phở and Bun Bo Hue so when I went to Sim Lim Square form some electronics accessories, I was happy to see that there was a Vietnamese food stall in the basement, part of the Broadway foodcourt.
I got the Spicy Beef Noodles Soup which I assumed would be Bun Bo Hue. I believe it was but it lacked depth and the different sorts of beef (i really missed the pork knuckle and the black pudding) which make me love this Vietnamese noodle soup so much. But hey, it was only 6 S$, so I’ll be forgiving and forget the fact that it was a tad salty and greasy for my liking and highlight that it came with a sizable portion of beef, something which is not common in foodcourts.
Would I eat this again? Not really, only if I happen to pass by this foodcourt again as it did not look like other options were much better but I would certainly not go out of my way for this.
Arguably, I’ve never been to Vietnam so maybe I am not entitled for having an opinion on how Vietnamese food should taste but I have spend considerable parts of my life eating Phở both at my Vietnamese friends homes and in Vietnamese restaurants in Paris, SoCal and Philly, all of which have sizeable Vietnamese communities so sue me for having an opinion… Or send me a message if you know where to get a delicious Bun Bo Hue or Phở in Singapore!

This is great food! The Phở Boa is as good as you would get from Vietnam. With Phở, the most important thing is the soup. If you got that right, all else follows and they have it perfectly.
The other items are also good. The spring rolls and egg rolls are made to order so they taste fresh. The beef stew is fantastic. Tender and flavourful. This is good simple food at good prices.
I also should say, the owner is very nice and sweet. She always has a big smile and works hard. Love this place!

This is a review of a early dinner from the Vietnamese Stall at Broadway Food Court in the basement of Sim Lim Square.
This food court is almost always clean and neat. Tables are quickly cleaned and cleared by the staff. Even when busy, I am usually able to quickly find a table to squeeze into. For whatever reason, choping is not as common here.
While not necessarily friendly, the staff is fast and efficient. The stall is kept clean and neat.
They serve a number of Vietnamese staples from phở and bun bo hue to banh mi.
Spicy Chicken Noodles — I ordered a chicken with noodles dish. I quite liked it. it had a nice pep to the spice level. The chicken was tender. The noodles were well-​prepared. The portion was relatively generous.
The cost was $ 4.50.
Overall — If you live in the neighbourhood or shop at Sim Lim. I consider this a nice option for quick bite to eat. It will fill you up. It will not empty your wallet. It is fast. Plus, it is pretty darn good.
