Pho (Westfield)

Dissapointed. They claimed not to do take away and had to be convinced to give me a takeaway box. Woman was very rude and slammed my food in front of me, I then had to transfer my food from a plate to the box as they refused to do it. Got back to the office and the noodles are bland, really not worth the £8 i spent on them. Oh, and there was a long queue. Better off sticking with a burrito from 1910 next time.

Tried Pho (Westfield) for the first time today and had a good experience. There was a queue but you didn't feel like walking away as it moved along well. I didn't have to wait long for the tofu and veg noodles and whilst in the queue watched the staff preparing salad and also spring rolls.

It was very clean and friendly and although it was a food court version Pho and not a complete restaurant, I still found it to be enjoyable as there were plenty seats to choose from with lots of people there.

If you like Wagamama but want to try something slightly different, try Pho! Well worth it after all that Westfield shopping!!

Those who gave good reviews for Pho are people who don't know what taste good and have never tried authentic Vietnamese cuisine. How dare the owner call this authentic Vietnamese food! Pho noodles are TASTELESS! Like instant soup. Spring rolls are awful. I truly have never tasted such bad Vietnamese food.

My dad and I went to Westfield a few weeks ago and wanted something 'healthy' for lunch so decided on Pho. The queue was huge but actually went down quite quickly, within 10-15 mins we were served. We ordered two fresh lemonades, noodles with tofu and noodles with beef. It came to around £18 for everything. I really enjoyed the food, I thought it was delicious and fresh and so did my dad. We weren't really keen on the lemonades and I do think it is overpriced for what it is!

I also like the fact that they give you a mobile-type thing (can think of no other description!) which beeps and vibrates when the food is ready, therefore you can go find a seat in the meantime and not hang around the food stall.

Next time I'm in Westfield, I will certainly eat here again!

I tried Pho at Westfield for the second time since it opened and the food was not that great. I ordered the Chicken and Prawn stir fried noodles. The chicken was borderline. The standard was much lower than I expected and it was overpriced at £7.75, the juice was also overpriced at £2.95. I would not eat there again and would definitely not recommend it.

I was dragged (kicking and screaming..) along to Westfield by my daughter at the weekend, and although it is somewhat impressive, I am not a fan of giant shopping centres, but I was very impressed by Pho. I thought the food was absolutely delicious.

The queues were long, at which point I tried to convince my daughter we should leave Westfield altogether, but she was adamant that I should try the food from Pho. Again, I gave in...

After our wait, we found seats in the balcony area, and my daughter gave me the run down and how to eat our Vietnamese soups. We had a lovely side plate of different herbs, so we could decide ourselves how to flavour it. I liked this DIY touch. There was basil, mint, coriander, lime, fresh chili, beansprouts, and another couple of things which I didn't recognise.

I had the prawn soup with a chicken stock, and my daughter a tofu one, with a spicy veggie stock. We both thoroughly enjoyed them, and my daughter the fact that she had been right in that I would love the food at Pho.

I will definitely be back, though I think I'll go to their restaurants in town as opposed to Westfield next time... More to my tastes...

This place does not serve authentic Vietnamese food, the pho stock tasted like instant noodle soups! Awful!

Big queues, great food. An impressive food offering for a shopping complex and Pho is the cream of the crop. I especially like the fact that the kitchen is completely open and all food, rolls, juices are made right in front of the watching queue. The food continually impresses.
