Brusque service aside, Long Phung serves up the best pho in Singapore, and short of flying to Hanoi every other week to get my pho-fix, the little spot will have to do as a viable alternative.
Service at the cash-only establishment was typically Vietnamese; you accommodate them rather than the other way round. Despite my repeated instructions to hold off all parsley/coriander leaves/spring onions/cilantro on everything, only 1 dish was parsley/coriander leaf/spring onion/cilantro-free; my chicken pho arrived laced with spring onions. When informed to the waitress, she tersely informed that there was no instruction to hold off the said herbs in "all of the dishes", and because she, like many Vietnamese women, was scary and fierce, I picked out every last speck of spring onion on my own instead of sending it back for a redo.
Oh well, as I see it, Long Phung provides a most authentic experience of Vietnam. And it's not like they charge for service anyway, so there's that.
We loved:
1) Cha Gio ($7) with 3 parts minced vegetables, 1 part minced pork, exactly the way it's done in Vietnam: Juicy and flavourful, this had a beautifully crisp rice paper skin.
2) Ga Vien Chien ($10): succulent morsels of Vietnamese-styled popcorn chicken
3) Bun Bo Hue ($7.50): a Hue-specialty of beef brisket hunks, pork leg sausage slices, in a heady deceptively fiery broth that balances the spicy with the salty and sweet, enlivened by a hint of lemongrass
4) Pho Ga ($7): pure wholesome goodness, with generous lashings of shredded chicken, and a deliciously delicate chicken stock. So good even if marred by spring onions.
5) Bun Thit Nuong ($7.50): dry-styled noodles topped with the most lusciously grilled pork ever, redolent of lemongrass, and served with a fish sauce-based dip.
6) Com Trang Bo Kho ($7): sumptuous French-influenced beef stew, with fork-tender brisket swimming in a mildly spicy gravy

 Place was simple and well kept with illustrated food dishes plastered on their walls. Though there were a handful of vietnamese around in the restaurant, these pictures aid patrons and gave them a better view of particular dish.

 Of all juices and drinks, I had decided to opt for the Thai coconut for its refreshing taste. Meat was soft and easily scrapped out from its husk. Sweet and thirst quenching under the heat.

 Jackfruit Smoothie was not a bad idea too. Simply love the sweet fragrant from the fruit itself and when everything was blended into smoothie, it is actually very soothing too for a hot day like this.

 My all time favourite again from the Vietnamese Cuisine! It comes in small or big portion where the small consists of 4 rolls at $7 while the bigger portion has got 6 rolls at $10.50. They termed it as their rolled salad with shrimp and pork rice nicely by the translucent moist rice paper. The dipping sauce played a big role in this dish usually, however the sauce over here in Long Phung was kind of let down as it reminds me of our local "Chee Cheong Fun" sweet sauce, not the kind of style I like.

 Pho Nam ~ Well-done beef's brisket noodle soup gave me the refreshing taste from its broth. It was light, however I find that the brisket were rather hard and at some part, the noodle has kind of funny smell which was not too pleasing.

 Looks like we are always stuck between these two familiar dishes and that is none other than their special noodle soup again. As compared to my previous bowl, the light tasting broth was delighting in its beef combination, herbs, eggs as well as garnishing.

 Beef ball over here was not too spectacular and taste run-of-the mill, something that you can get off the shelves perhaps.

 For two consecutive meal with Vietnamese Cuisine, even though Long Phung is considered as authentic, my vote will still goes to Mrs Pho for its environment and Pho. Do note that only CASH is accepted here.

 Vietnamese Spring Roll (Small $7) - 4 spring rolls wrapped with vermicelli, vegetables, bean sprouts, sliced prawn and pork. The rolls are extremely fresh and crunchy. The vermicelli is used instead of turnip which we usually see from the chinese spring roll version. The softness of the vermicelli in this spring roll is wonderful. The vegetables and bean sprouts adds crunch to the spring roll and if you are a meat eater like me, there are prawn and pork slices wrapped together too.

Dipped into the sweet brown sauce with peanuts bits for extra flavors and crunch.

 Chicken noodle soup ($6.50) - The clear broth is fantastic! It is tasty and not salty. Lots of garlic, onions and bones must have used to create this wonderful broth. The broth is not oily and with the Pho (kueh tiao noodle), it is simply delicious. Generous portion of vegetables and garnish. Really a comfort food!

 Grilled Pork Vermicelli ($8.50) - Slightly more expensive dry noodle but it comes with fried spring roll and grilled pork chop. A bowl of slightly sweet syrup is given to add in the mixture for easy mixing. Lots of ingredients such as fried onions, peanuts, bean sprouts, cucumber and cabbage are added into the vermicelli as well. The dish itself taste superb. The syrup makes this dish slightly sweet which make it very appetizing and refreshing. The amazing part is the fried spring rolls and pork chop which are fresh, not oily and goes well with the other ingredients. Really a must try dish.

Verdict: 4 /5

Good food, fast service and affordable pricing. This is really a good place to visit if you have not do so. Try it, you may change your mind about Vietnamese cuisine. They are much more delicious than what you think.

Do try the spring rolls and fried quail too. The spring rolls are exceptionally fresh and goes well with the vietnamese sweet sour sauce. The fried quail is well marinated in honey and very tasty.

Good:- Ordered beef pho. The beef tastes soft and easy to bite while the soup is flavourful and fragrant, not too salty.- Chilli, bean sprout and lime is placed at the side of the bowl for you to add in at your own preference, which is great.Not-so-good:- A short walk from the mrt station is needed.- Limited carparks along the roadside.Overall:Would return to eat again one day when i am around that area.

The list of menus printed does give quite a bit of Vietnamese dishes to choose from, but to try authenticity of the food I decided to choose the most significant one - the pho. I had the chicken pho, or Pho Ga in Vietnamese. Comes with chicken chunks and pho, the soup base of it tasted more to the sweeter side instead of the saltier side. I kinda enjoy the soup broth though, as least something different. The pho is smooth and cooked well and the chicken chunks have absorb the pho soup based which gives it a very fragrant taste. Portion is generous as well but speaking of authentic-ness of the place... I guess something is still lacking in the place and dish to impress me. Food wise however is reasonable and not bad tasting.

Finally I have tasted great vietnamese food again! After more than a decade upon my return from my studies in the US where many vietnamese immgrants have set up restaurant serving good authentic food. I was disappointed when I could not find anything close in Singapore and have basically gave up. After many good reviews by friends, I decided to give Long Phung a try. Upon arrival I noticed many diners of vietnamese decent and I thought to myself, this have to be good because they know better.

The raw beef pho could be better. The satay cockles was nicely done with the matching salt and lime sauce simply tasty to match with. The fish stew is also another dish to try. The rice dishes are normal thou.

I definitely be back to try out more of the others..

Having never visited Vietnam, I'm not sure Vietnamese iced tea is supposed to taste like. Though light and refreshing, the tea had a bittersweet aftertaste which didn't go down well with me.

The place is air-con with fans but did not feel very cool, as the front entrance of the shop is open with no enclosed door to lock in the air-con. The good thing is this corner shop is situated next to a public car-park.

It is simply decorated with table and chair, the walls is lined up with A4 sized photos of the dishes in the menu both in Vietnamese and English name. They play Vietnamese music in the background.

The waitress that serves us could speak Mandarin but you should not have problem as the menu has both languages and picture. You could easily point to the items you want to order.

 The Prawn roll is rice paper roll wrapped with lettuce, prawns and rice noodle. It is plain on its own but goes well with the dipping sauce. The accompany sauce taste like Hoi Sin sauce with chopped peanuts.

 The Grilled Pork comes in dry rice noodle or rice. We ordered it with rice noodle which look like Bee Hoon and topped it with net-like spring roll ($7.50). The yummy & fragrant char-grilled pork chop is well marinated with lemongrass and fish sauce.
It is tender and they even served it cut into small pieces. It comes with a fish sauce mixed with cut chillies. You pour the amount of sauce you like into the noodle and mixed it before eating it. The net-like spring roll is crispy and tasty, you can ordered it as a side dish, if not for addition $1.50 it comes with the dry noodle.

 Member Chicken is tender pieces of chicken wrapped in beancurd skin and deep fried. The outer layer is crispy and inside tender. It is like the Vietnamese version of chicken nuggets. I guess it will go well with beer.

 We tried the Ice Tamarind Juice which was refreshing on a hot day. It is not too sour or sweet and has roasted nuts inside which gives it a crunchy taste.

I wanted to order Sam Po Long as a drink but was not available that day. I will be back to try their crab noodle soup and ice dripped coffee with the family next time.

I love the food here except that it is situated in the sleazy part of Joo Chiat. It is open late at 1pm for lunch and close in the early hours of 1am. So better to go for late lunch or early dinner if you want to avoid the pub going crowd.
