About
We'd booked a table for 4pm but had a panic about parking with it being match day so popped in just after 3 and given a table early ๐ฅฐ The restaurant is small and had a steady stream of customers. The waitresses are wonderfully polite and service was incredible- and fast.

Super authentic Vietnamese food. We had summer rolls, grilled pork with betel leaves, rare beef pho, bun Cha, and special broken riceโฆ everything was perfect (meats for broken rice and bun Cha was grilled to perfection with hints of lemongrass) ; I wished there was a sunny side up egg served with the broken rice.

The waitresses are wonderfully polite and service was incredible- and fast! I'm not a pho fan but it was my husband's birthday and he loves it so I chose it for him- I wanted to keep it as a surprise but then I saw how extensive the menu is and had to tell him in advance so he could check it out! Anyway, onto the food which is the most important bit! Luckily for me there is more than Pho on the menu so I went for Braised Caramelised Belly Pork With Quail Eggs and boiled rice after a lot of agonising between that and the Crispy Duck Sweet and Sour. Husband went for Special Beef Pho, and we shared the Special Summer Rolls. We both agreed everything was absolutely phenomenal. The Summer Rolls were packed with fresh meat, prawns, veg, vermicelli noodles and wrapped in perfectly prepped rice paper. They were beautifully fresh and came with a gorgeous dipping sauce. I saved my second one for the end of the meal- perfect palate cleanser. My belly pork was excellently cooked and the quail eggs added a totally different texture. Husband's pho was a mix of rare and well cooked beef with a well seasoned broth and fresh veg was brought separately so you can add as much or as little as you prefer. He absolutely raved about it and said it was the best meal he'd had in ages. Drinks wise I had a strawberry tea which was wonderfully sweet, husband had Pennywort with Coconut milk which was both hot and cold and herby and he absolutely loved it ยฃ45 for everything, amazing. Definitely recommend!
We went here for the first time for my birthday and this place will not disappoint you if you like delicious, fresh and plenty of food. It was absolutely delicious. We ordered the spring rolls which was different to typical one that you get but oh my God, absolutely delicious. The salt & pepper calamari was so fresh and melts in your mouth. The special fried rice, beef noodle was really good as well. The staff recommended chicken with black pepper sauce and we could not get enough of it. This place will be our go to from now on. I canโt wait to go back and try other foods at Pho.
I tried a few dishes here and overall had an okay experience. The prawn salad was fresh and delicious, full of flavor and a great way to start the meal. The beef pho was just okay โ decent but not very memorable. The seafood pho, on the other hand, was much better, with a nice broth and a good mix of seafood. The special fried rice was also tasty and satisfying.
This is my first time in this restaurant and it was so good. Nice hospitality, warm and clean ambience, and off course delicious meals. The original pho was so hot and delicious. Definitely will be considering back.
