What User likes about Pho:
very friendly service and personal. Very helpful and nice to me.I was a bit lost when you look at the menu, it has very tradition product names with a fusion drink menu. I just ordered the simple beef pho. The noodle and suppe was very good, but I think the beef differs from the traditional pho. The beef is in small strips instead of the traditional rare beef sauce. View all feedback. What Catherine C doesn't like about Pho:
I went here for lunch because it was near my workplace, had a deep-fried salt and chilli squid starter and carrot, apple, ginger juice which was lovely. However I when I got my main Pho tai; the noodle tasted perfumey and doughy. The broth lacked the traditional flavours of a pho. Where was the cinnamon, the star anise and black cardamom flavours? It was a plain meaty broth soup without the spice. Go to kingsland roa... View all feedback.

Just arrived in London and stumbled across this Little ripper. Reminds me of some of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Springvale/ Melbourne/ Australia.

Nestled in a quiet corner of London, this restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful dining experience. While the vibrant starters, like the deep-fried spring rolls and betel beef leaf rolls, receive rave reviews, the main dishes present a mixed bag. Many patrons noted the pho lacked the layered flavors and depth typically expected, with a broth that felt flat. However, the establishment shines in its smoothies and attentive, friendly service. Though prices are on the higher side for a casual meal, the enticing menu and calm vibe beckon diners seeking comfort food in the heart of the city.

One of the most delicious pho bo that I ever had. I would not change anything on this food. I've tried it with beef steak meat.

Nice Vietnamese chain restaurant. Decent food. All the typical things. I'd prefer to support real Vietnamese people rather than a corporation like Pho.
