If you are looking for something new, what you haven't tried before {as we did}, go to Pho!! The food is delicious and healthy. We had some sommer rolls with prawns and 2 soups with spicy stock and beef....Really recommend to try...

We'll be back Pho!!

Fantastic stuff! These guys really have got it right. It's not only consistently great food, but with the staff and atmosphere, a consistently great night out. Long live Pho!!

Went with two friends and loved it: inexpensive, fresh produce and delicious and well presented food. Service was good too. We had to wait for a table for a while which shows how popular it is - and for good reason.

Really really very good. A bunch of us dined here a couple of nights ago and had a blast. Very good noodle soup and summer rolls, right up there with the pho joints in LA where I come from, friendly and attentive staff, cool music and a general ambience that makes you want to stay all night long. A real find.

I went to Pho last night and it it without a doubt the worst Vietnamese meal I have eaten. The crepe was greasy and tasteless and the curry bland- the only flavour in it was watered down curry paste. The wide selection of Vietnamese beers was it's only redeeming feature. Any of the Vietnamese resturants on Kingsland Road are far superior.to Pho,

My wife and I went to Pho last week after a friend had reccommended it to us. We have been to various Vietnamese restaurants around London, mainly on Kingsland road, but this restaurant has been the best experience so far.

We chose a chicken and prawn crepe to start, I had the Pho Tai and my wife had the spicy prawn Pho.

I have had various beef soups before but didn't realise how bland they were until I tried this one! The stock had a delicious aroma and the steak was very fresh as it was served raw and thinly sliced to cook in the stock.

To finish we shared a combination of strawberry and basil and mango sorbet.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, overall a relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely be reccommending Pho to my freinds.

Absolutely delicious. I was there for the first time and I will definitely come back.

Food is light, healthy, freshly prepared and very tasty. I had a spicy prawn soup and my friend had a spicy beef soup {new dish in the menu} with shrimp paste on side.

The portions were huge and they came with herb plate on side.

Our bill was less than £21 including two freshly squeezed juices {carrot, apple and ginger}.

I will be back and I recommend to all...

I came here for a lunch with me friend and it could not have gone better. The food was outstanding - as is the service. The food was clearly freshly prepared. We ordered summer rolls that were served with sauce on side - absolutely delicious! As a main dishes we had a spicy chicken and prawn soup that were served with herb plate on side. The bill came to £23 including 2 freshly squeezed juices {carrot, apple and ginger}.

We would certainly eat there again.

We had dinner on tues evening in this great little gem of a restaurant. Went with 2 friends and the had the prawn summer rolls and the vietnames crepe which was huge to start, both were so fresh and tasty.I could have had the crep for a main. Fantastic. We did not know alot about vietnames food but the waitress explained all the dishes really well but in the end we all went for the pho noodle soup. I had the hot and spicy chicken which was just great on a cold winters night. My friends both had the pho with fillet steak, which they loved.

Will be going back here very soon. Loved it

Gourmet Chick - 6/10

Friday, May 08, 2009 - The ability to personalise your broth is a real plus at Pho and allows a feel of authenticity. However, this is clearly pho for Westernised palates and all the cuts of meat used are lean without any of the delicious fatty flavoursome bits that you find inside a bowl of pho in Vietnam. Of all the varieties on offer at Pho the standard Pho Chin containing beef brisket is the top pick. The meat could be more tender but it offers the crisp yet understated taste that is the hallmark of Vietnamese cuisine. The same can't be said for the Pho Bo Vien which contains dull meatballs which lack flavour…
