Stephen and Juliette Wall opened Pho in June 2005 after they travelled to Vietnam and fell in love with the food. They made the decision to start a restaurant serving pho while sat on high stools, slurping pho bo, in Ho Chi Minh City. 15 years later, Pho is still a family-run business serving great value, healthy Vietnamese street food that is cooked fresh daily (no central kitchens!).
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. From the management: 'Our chicken meat and chicken wings are halal. We cannot guarantee that our chicken broth is halal, so if you order a chicken soup, please ask for vegetarian broth.'
Score reflects a halal certificate on file.
The food was okay i liked the pho like i usually do. But sadly they didnt serve us pancakes saying they ran out already, but they served the table right next to us. I dont know why pho chains aways run out of pancakes or just refuse to serve them. We didnt like the betel leaf beef as it was very dry meat. And the chicken wings at this branch were not good, no flavour and not cooked properly. Usually we go to the Chiswick London branch and they are always amazing but the ones here were not good. Same with the summer rolls, these had a thick layer of ricepaper at the bottom and less filling compared to other branches I have tried.
I remember when it opened we had been there. So today we went there after such a long time. We didnt have reservations but the staff were very helpful and we didnt waited that long. The food was amazing, loved every bit of it and so tasty and freshly cooked. They explained what to do with the noodles soup as the herbs came separately but again everything was delicious and freshly cooked. Their curry was amazing and I think will be visiting again to eat their curry. Would highly recommend this place and will reserve the table before going in there.
I would like to give a special compliment to our server Anik. He provided excellent and thoughtful service throughout our meal. He was very polite, patient, and attentive to our needs. Anik also patiently introduced the dishes to us, explained the ingredients and flavors clearly, and gave great recommendations that suited our taste. He checked on us regularly to make sure everything was fine and always responded quickly. His professional and warm attitude made our dining experience very pleasant and comfortable. We highly appreciate his great service and will definitely come back again!
Very good pho spot! I typically get basic pho so I decided to mix it up and I got the brisket curry pho which was a really nice mix between the soup experience of pho and the full flavor of curry. It was packed with herbs and the brisket was nicely cooked, though a bit bland. I got the chicken wings as well which were fantastic! Really good dry seasoning and the sriracha for dipping was good as well. It was a nice setting in there - not too fussy but not a hole in the wall. The servers were helpful and kind and the food came fairly quickly.
Our server Akin was great. Amazing food as usual and our go to place as perfect for coeliacs! The cocktails were our first time trying and they were gorgeous
