    Without a doubt one of the best restaurants I've visited in a long, long time. I've visited a few times now and it's almost as if it gets better with each visit. The food is perfect every time. Full of flavour and depth as well as plenty of earthy bases (with certain dishes) that really make for a brilliant food experience. The staff are all very friendly and make sure you're happy without going too far. With a friendly greeting as you arrive to quick and easy service the staff do not disappoint. The value for money is second to none. Unlicenced so take your own drinks with a small corkage to pay on beers and wines. Even after a few bottle of wine and starters and mains for a couple, with tip and a satisfying meal you can expect to pay under the £50 mark. A real gem of a place. I'd recommend to anyone visiting they try the coconut sizzling dish before any other but it's great to have a few things treat yourself to many varieties of such great food.

    The food was delicious. I had chicken coconut sizzling with rice. It was amazing. I will definitely go again and you save a fortune on taking your own wine.

    Wonderful low-key restaurant with authentic and delicious food. I can understand why they have won so many awards and accolades. Food was great, service was excellent and the atmosphere was just right to talk and catch-up. Amazing value for such a great restaurant and if I was back in the area I would make sure I dropped in.

    Delicious food, good value for money! Review edited as this is now the third time I've been here! Love the food, love the iced coffee. The summer rolls and salt and pepper beef were amongst our favourites. Mains-wise the crispy pancake wins.

    I have been going to Mi and Pho for many years, and my family and I have visited dozens of times and had many good meal experiences. I've also left 5 star reviews in the past. However, this visit fell well below the standards I've experienced before. We arrived at the appointed time but the main part of the restaurant still had the majority of tables occupied by diners so we were led to Table 13 (Unlucky for us!!), in an area beyond the main dining room which was absolutely freezing (so cold in fact, that we had to keep our coats on for the duration of our visit). We were then told, by the rather impolite waitress, to order 'immediately' because the kitchen was about to close and informed that we also had to have our starters and main courses served together. We quickly ordered and after a few minutes some of the starters and main courses started to arrive but it was inconsistent and some mains were arriving before the starters. I ordered summer rolls, but they were very badly made and were literally falling apart on the plate, so there was no chance of picking them up to dip in the sauce. The main that I've ordered previously (Bun chicken Combo) was served in one bowl with all the ingredients just piled on top of each other. I don't know if this is now the standard way of serving it now or just "cobbled" together because the staff were in a rush to finish. I went to pay the bill and was asked by the man who took my payment how it was. I explained it wasn't as good as previous visits, but he made no attempt to check what the issues were as he swiped my card. So unfortunately, after this latest visit,  I don't think I'll be coming again based on this poor experience.

    Delicious!!! We’ve been here 3 or 4 times, never disappointed. Veggies in the food are fresh, crunchy, beautifully cooked or stir fried, portions are fantastic. I enjoyed every single bite. Prices are moderate, staff are cordial and respectful, if you don’t know what to order they always kindly make a suggestion. Very IMPORTANT‼️They allow you to bring your own alcohol, Yeepee 🍺🤸🏽‍♂️

    A return visit with friends and it was just as good as I remembered. Great selection of dishes and the food tasted so good. Service was lovely and friendly.

    Really really lovely spot! It’s one of the best places I’ve been to period. I particularly love the chilli and lemongrass, and at £7.50 for the tofu version it’s an absolute steal! The spring rolls are also delicious! And it’s always worth a look at the specials board. The stir fried beef is the current favourite of my partner.

    Tried their vegan pho at escape to freight Island yesterday evening. It had no flavour. Tasted like deep fried tofu and vegetables floating in freshly boiled kettle water. The broth was just terrible.

    Lovely food and the two young male and female staff members were lovely. Only downside is that the front door is knackered and won’t shut, when you’re sat next to it in the freezing cold and have to keep shutting it, it’s not a great experience. The waitress kept running to close it behind every time someone went out (when I wasn’t doing it). If the owner has a Tesla and a mi and pho private reg you should be able to spend a few quid on the front door

    Reasonable pricing and friendly staff. Food, especially the starters such as the squid and spring rolls, were delicious and came out on time. However, the main dishes did take a while to come out and some were cold. Nevertheless, the pho, which I was trying for the first time, was quite tasty.

    It was my first time and already I will come back, I feel it like a home, and the food is tasty and crazily big portions!

    Had a delicious Vietnamese iced coffee& coconut curry which was delicious ( didn’t take photos of those though). Fast and friendly service

  • 5/5 Thomas F. 8 months ago on Google
    Truly a hidden gem! The food was first class and a great selection on the menu. You can bring your own wine, always a plus. Service with a smile from the staff and it was quick considering the place was rammed. Prices are remarkably low - four starters and four mains less than £80. If you're thinking of going, I'd book in advance. I can't rate Mi & Pho highly enough.

  • 5/5 Anny C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious!!! I also asked if they could put half noodles and half rice because I did not want to eat just noodles, and they were really nice to do that favour for me. The attention was also really nice. You defenetly have to go and try it yourself because it was fantastic!!!!

    Had an incredible meal here! Beautiful small place with some atmosphere on a Friday night. Had the salt and pepper ribs and wings which were really nice but the mains were something else. The seabass with mango is insane, the pho was great but the star of the show was the braised pork belly, I could have run into the back to give the chef a hug it was immense. BYOB is just the icing on the cake too, allows you to spend some more on having another main or two to share.. We'll most definitely be back, hopefully regularly!

    Used to be one of my favorite pho restaurants in Manchester, very popular in local so make sure you book a table!

  • 5/5 sharvari m. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing dining experience. The menu is easy to understand and choose from even for a first timer. The food is flavourful and fresh. Orders came in pretty quickly and I loved the cosy ambience. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

  • 5/5 Grainne M. 1 year ago on Google
    What can I say.. Only that this place makes incredible food! We had starters between two and a main each.. Out with a group of 6. They turned off all the lights and all the staff sang happy birthday to my friend! Its a BYOB.. Close to a tesco if you forget! And to top it one of the cheapest restaurant meals I have had in a very long time.. Coming in at £16 each with tip.. You do need to book as it is always busy.. And for gokt reason!

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
