Pho (St John St)

This is a great little place with lots of choice and a cosy atmosphere.

The only thing I would say is that it doesn't cost £25 per person as suggested in the london-eating review!! More like £10, so a bargain too.

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!!

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...
