Vietnam House on the restaurant strip of the Westfield Mall in Woden is very popular for lunch on weekdays.

Most diners are ordering noodle soups which are a great choice for a cold day.

Pho Tai – rare beef noodle soup $12.50 small ($13.50) comes with accompaniments

Pho Ga – Chicken noodle soup $13.50 small ($14.30 large) is an alternative

Serves are large but sharing is not really an option as there is a minimum charge of $10 per person.
