    Best pho I’ve ever had. I seriously appreciate that this place has gotten Celiac GF accreditation. That’s awesome and means a lot to a celiac diner. The flavors are amazing. Staff is so nice. Location is convenient to spitalfields market. Lovely spot for a cozy lunch or dinner.

    We were looking for pho in London, and I found this pho restaurant not very far from our hotel. Everyone in our group is so excited. The restaurant had a long wait when we were there. We waited for more than 30 minutes to get a table. But the good food they have is worth the wait. We were happy to have excellent meals even though we had to wait.

    Relaxed friendly service, good wine choices, resonably priced. Best of all is the food The crispy vietnamese rolls are to die for and the Vietnamese chicken Curry is totally delicious, rich and aromatic. My friend had the Pho - fantastic broth very genorous portion. This will be our new regular asian food restaurant.

    It was my first time trying Pho out, and I could not have picked a better place! No one recommended, I was simply passing by and looked inside through the windows, it looked cozy and clean, so I walked in. The hostess was incredibly kind, got my a table for one and explained how the menu worked, even got me a bib so I would not make a mess of myself. The waitresses were super helpful, friendly, efficient and lovely. The food, well let’s say I will have to add Pho to my diet ! the prices are adequate and the place is comfortable, friendly. Coming back soon!

    Wow. Came across this place after visiting London for an exhibit. The service is fast and friendly which is just a bonus.......THE FOOD!!!!! The food is the best Vietnamese I've had the pleasure of in years......the portions are very generous. We shared the pork and lemongrass meatballs, squid, brisket curry and chicken vermicelli noodles......each dish was just superb. Have pegged on maps to come again if we're in the area.... HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👏 thank you and well done guys.

    A very atmospheric place with tasty Vietnamese Pho. We love this network in London. And ordering their food often for delivery. Great Spicy chicken and spicy beef brisket pho ;) highly recommended

    An absolute delight of a Vietnamese gem, a little north of the City. Very spacious across two floors, we stayed at the first, by the window. The venue has this gastro pub feel, super friendly staff, but the most important, truly heavenly Vietnamese food! Started with a Sauvignon blanc from South Africa that was lightly fragrant, fruity, chilled, suave, just right! Skipped started, as it was a business lunch no time... Had the prawn curry, so good looking dish! See the photo! Was fabulous! My colleague, chicken noodles, and he shared that it was equally excellent! Totally recommend, and will be coming back many times I am sure! Thank you Pho! ^_^

    Great atmosphere and excellent food. We had a few curries and pho’s and they were all delicious. As a spicy lover, I especially recommend the Hot and Spicy with Beef brisket. Superb taste, and the extra sauces available made it even better. The waitress was also very helpful with recommendations on what to have.

    This restaurant is a peaceful escape, even during busy times. Their Chicken Curry Pho is a flavour explosion. Generous portions at great prices, yet surprisingly healthy. The attentive service and delicious starters, especially the spring rolls, make it a must-visit.

    Very reasonable for 2 with a bottle of wine. I ordered the veggie spring rolls and plant based wok noodles - delicious! Great atmosphere n were not bothered by the serving staff to move us on. Been here before we'll be back 😁

    This place has kept its excellent quality over the years. Delicious pho and friendly service. I’d especially recommend vegetarian mushrooms & tofu pho for its great taste. The herbs and greens that go with it are first class.

    We always have the best time here. We had our first date at this very restaurant 8 years ago, and we come back every year to celebrate. The food is always phenomenal and the service is amazing. Just as last year we were today served by Lewis who is so sweet and service minded. The vegan options are absolutely brilliant and we’ve never been disappointed in all eight years we’ve frequented this place.

    All went well during the meal, staff were pleasant, atmosphere was nice, food was tasty. However, something was bad with the food and without getting into too much detail i did not sleep that night and was back and forth between my bed and the bathroom

    The food is so amazing. Lots of flavours , colourful and hot. It was so needed . This place was recommended and definitely we weren't disappointed. I could give 6 stars for the service. If you read my review visit this great place

    Ordered from this branch second time and the soup smells so bad even haven’t tried it. Amount of beef is tiny as well. I had a better experience before but this time is different. Will never order again for delivery.

    Love Vietnamese food, and this was a great lunch. Lost a star though for not having any spicy broth available? Everything else was good. Fast service. Stir fry Chinese leaf spicy recommended as a side!

    A cosy spot for healthy Vietnamese food. The ambiance is wonderful and the food is utterly delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly - great hospitality! To our pleasant surprise, they are dog friendly too! The staff were very kind to give my dog a bowl of water whilst we enjoyed our yummy meals.

    I tried Pho after seeing it on Deliveroo and I was extremely disappointed. The quality did not match the price on this occasion. For me, the brisket was dry and quite flavourless, I had to put the Núóc Chãm Sauce on it to give it some more flavour. The summer rolls were okay but not exceptional.

  • 3/5 Lafoem O. 1 year ago on Google
    I think the pancake is a bit salty. The price are reasonable. Pho is really good. Vegan choices are only tofu & mushrooms so it is like a bit limited. In general, this is not authentic!

  • 5/5 Kimberly A. 1 year ago on Google
    The most amazing and tastiest vietnamese soup I‘ve ever had! The vegan Bun Chay Hue with Pho noodles is from now on my top choice! My boyfriend had the chicken curry, which was also very good!

  • 4/5 Juliana G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is very tasty but I have to deduct a star for the ambient noise that is so loud a you have to literally shout to be heard by the person next to you. They have pretty decor but no sound absorbing features, loud music I guess to try and remedy the noise but it just adds to the audio pollution inside the space. They have an upstairs area but it was closed so everyone was crammed downstairs by the kitchen and it was just uncomfortable. They also serve cocktails so there were some groups of people there having drinks, which in my opinion just doesn’t fit, different public and different vibes to the ones that hope for a cozy space to enjoy delicious wholesome meals. But again, food is very delicious.

    Sweet potato aubergine curry and chicken mushroom rice were very delicious. The vegan mango salad was nice and fresh. The barbecue bao burger, beef noodles soup, grilled aubergine and the fried bao dessert were all good. Beef spring rolls was fresh but dry. The restaurant gets so crowded after 18:00, so it’s better to go earlier unless you have no problem to wait outside.

    Went to Pho for the first time last night (a Thursday night) for dinner after work and it was a great experience. Greeted well and the service was very cheerful went taking our order. When we received our food, the following person knew the food and menu so well, they gave us a little tip on eating our starter which incorporated all of the different items and took it to a whole new level, amazing (recommending the spring roles and also the meatballs on skewers! Get the peanut sauce too). The main course was also excellent and a really generous size. Overall it didn't burn a hole in my pocket, in fact the opposite considering London prices too, and we come away saying we'd definitely go here again!

    During our trip we've been twice in Pho on Brushfield St. and with pleasure I will come back next time! Very good food, friendly staff and magic place. I tried 2 Classic Vietnamese noodle soup (Beef combo and the next day king prawns), both delicious. Very good choice is with herbs and additional chili on the side so you can do it as hot as you want :) We love Marta the manager - she was more than hospitable and took her time to explain everything and recommend the dishes for us, which we were totally undecided but with her help with big smile that was a good choice! We enjoyed also rolls for starter and sorbet for dessert with vietnamese coffee. Thank you Marta!
