Strings Premium Vietnamese Noodle Bar

The place is good! Recently opened, it looks nice and fresh. Beef soup is incredible, portions are big, they also have a lot of meat in the meat ???? We really liked this place and will definitely be back to get another part of the famous cattle soup. You only need more employees in Eat. A person did everything the orders are taking and serving a meal.

Strings are a charming new addition to the busy King Street Restaurant of Newtown. It offers authentic Vietnamese dishes and specializes in noodle soups. Sydney certainly has no shortage of Pho places, but strings are quite unique; This is about the broth. Just take a look at the menu and you will find that the different brews are cooked here for 6 to 12 hours and made with a wealth of herbs and spices. Grief Grief The aromatic spices in combination with the wealth of the bone marrow and the ox tail in the soup create an insanely tasty basis for the classic beef brush soup (PHO BO). The rare beef is melt-in-your-cent tender and the crispy fresh vegetables together with the hot soup make this dish the perfect food chuck. We tried the 10-hour Vietnamese crab noodle soup and the 10-hour central central Vietnam spicy lemon racial beef noodle - these two are less than very traditional local dishes in their average Vietnamese joint.

Had the Vegan Pho and it may be one of the most authentic tasting spray I had! I had the big (and it was really big, the broth was supple, but seemed quite greasy. All in all, it would recommend. The staff is also super friendly!

I got a table in the corner, close to the window that overlooks King Street, for an early dinner of beef pho (plain) on a Monday night. It's apparently their most popular dish though I'm not surprised since their menu boasts that the broth is a result of a dedicated twelve hours simmering time.  It came fairly promptly with the mint and beansprouts already heaped on top, followed by a small wedge of lemon and two sauces on the side that are optional additions. I made sure to submerge the raw beef, mint and beansprouts under the warm broth and mound of rice noodles to let them cook and meld with the broth, squeezing some lemon in whilst I waited. The result? A mellow, well-rounded bowl of pho, verging on the sweet side, with perfectly cooked rice noodles, several tender beef pieces and bites of crunchy beansprouts. Overall a good meal but I did find some flaws. My biggest gripe is that I wish the broth could have been served a little hotter. Not sure if it's just the cold front cooling down my bowl faster but the beansprouts were still semi-raw as I got to the halfway point of the bowl. Other small points were that the beef pieces weren't really uniform in size so some smaller pieces ended up chewier and more cooked through, a shame since the larger pieces were deliciously melt-in-your-mouth. Another handful of beansprouts on top would have been well-received too. On a personal note, I'm not a massive fan of their broth. It's light and sweet which is lovely if that's how you like it but my go-to Vietnamese place does a more robust and hearty version that I personally prefer.  Also, maybe it's because I went alone that I ended up being distracted from my food by the outdated Top 40 covers playing on the mini tv mounted above the counter, mostly because they seemed out of place in String's very hip setting. It's a little bit of a shame since I love their quirky decor in all its greenery: a little floating hedge, some dangling vines from the ceiling and leaves peeking out between the spokes of a bicycle mounted on the wall. Their service is exceptional as well, really friendly and genuine.  So conclusion, would I go back? My cute new loyalty card to Strings says a strong maybe though I might make some of the "soup-less wonders" my priority next time.

Really tasty Pho (I tried both the beef and vegan options in the middle streets of Newtown. The staff are super friendly, the restaurant itself is simple, but that adds only to the charm. It can be a new addition to King Being Street, but I hope it stays very good for a while.
