This Vietnamese eatery is undoubtedly one of Dickson's culinary calling cards, offering authentic meals at giveaway prices. Nestled amongst a collection of Asian supermarkets, Pho Phu Quoc is unpretentious and unassuming. The brightly lit room is simple, with round plastic tables and artificial palms, but it is the food that is the showstopper here. It's the real thing, and the reason why Pho Phu Quoc has become such an institution in Dickson. The extensive menu boasts a selection of house specials, as well as dishes of beef, chicken, pork, seafood and vegetables. Favourites include campfire beef (which is presented in a clay pot over flames), crispy skin chicken with ginger and the salted squid. To wash it all down, try a coconut juice or one of the fresh fruit shakes available. Groups are also well catered for with a selection of banquets available, ranging from $15 to $25 per head.

Also disappointing
We usually find this place mixed- we have had some good and some just OK meals on different occasions but tonight it was terrible with the braised beef with peppercorns stringy and undercooked. Sometimes the staff are helpful but the waiter this evening was not very interested. The search for a reasonable and reliable Vietnamese in Canberra continues...

Very Disappointing
I do not usually write reviews, however after the experience of dining at this particular restaurant I might start.
The atmosphere was quite nice but the staff did not smile, they were not helpfull and our meals and drinks were just slammed on our table.
We ordered a salted squid dish and grilled chicken. Both meals came out with a powdered gravy - we know it was powder as the kitchen had not stirred it at all. Both our dishes were inedible due to the amount of salt used. I would not recommend this place to any of my friends.

The best rice dish
The best dish to order at Pho Phu Quoc is their Vietnamese combination rice. This dish can be order with broken rice or red rice (red rice is rice that has been cooked with tomato sauce). To enhance the flavour of the dish you can ask the waiter/waitress to add a sunnyside-up egg.
