  “Had a fantastic meal here yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious and arrived at the table looking fresh and well-presented. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor. The Bia Saigon beer paired perfectly with the crispy chicken wings, which were cooked to perfection. I really appreciated the attention to detail in the presentation, especially the generous portion of fresh herbs and bean sprouts served with the soup. I cannot wait to come back. It is a great spot for anyone looking for a high-quality, satisfying meal on Botanic Avenue.”

  “Food is very enjoyable, chicken in the chicken pho was slightly dry, but tasted very good when combined with the broth. Vegan pho was very nice, no complaints. Cocktails are very nice and affordable. Service could have been faster both for clearing tables and taking the initial order but thats no big issue. But the server was very considerate and double checked with the kitchen when I mentioned an allergy. Helpful as well that the allergies are available with the menu online. Would recommend a visit.”

  “Visited here a few years back when it opened and before its rapid expansion. Maybe here is still the best. Friendly knowledgeable waiter and very reasonably priced. Downside they still don’t accept general credit cards - don’t let that put you off- grab some cash in the nearby ATM !”

  “Per my 12 year old: “insane food, really good service”. I agree! We got a variety of items and specials and were very happy with each. The waitress and hostess were both so kind and attentive. Lots of gluten free options available. Would absolutely come back!”

  “There used to be a Madame Pho on the Lisburn Road. Now it’s a ramen shop. I wonder why? Perhaps a rebrand… Which is why I was delighted to spot one on Botanic Avenue. I must admit, dear reader, that I did frequent this establishment when it was situated on the city’s cafe artery. I’m glad to say the food and service have not changed. Crispy chicken wings. In a sweet batter with this delicious spicy tip. Perfect, but not thinning. Then the duck rice plate. This was also very good. A demerit however due to serving me essentially pieces of fried skin and fat. Perhaps this is an attempt to make you feel more than your actually getting, but I would have preferred these bits removed as they are effectively inedible and throw off the rice egg duck divison. A massive shoutout to the coconut curry sauce for keeping it as spicy and creamy as they come. Service was very good. Typically you have to specify that you’d like your starter before your main (as otherwise it all comes at once). I had forgotten this fact but the waitress reminded me. Anyway it was a very successful lunch experience. I’ll be back!”

  “This was such a wonderful place. I was in Air BnB and host recommended this place. Such an awesome place to be. Pho was really tasty but I would suggest pork neck. Since I am big fan of coconut curry. They serve pork neck with rice and coconut curry. So tasty. The best.”

  “Absolutely delicious food, and the servers were so lovely. Portion sizes are incredibly generous and it isn't a bad price at all for the quality and amount of food you're getting.”

  “This place was surprisingly delicious and relatively inexpensive. We both got the noodle bowl with grilled chicken. Which was actually deep-fried, but we didn’t care because it was so delicious.”

  “Authentic pho with a rich, comforting broth and fresh herbs, very satisfying and full of flavour. Loved the rice dish too: juicy girlled prawn and pork neck skewers, crispy spring roll, and the rice with fried egg was simple but comforting. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. The only downside is the shop is very small, so dining in feels a bit tight. Still a great spot for authentic food, especially for a quick meal or takeaway”

  “To find good pho in the UK is like to find water in a desert. And let's be fair, one would not expect to find a great one in Belfast. But we did. We went there about 3 months ago and still had to write a review. The soup is quite tasty and on top of that the ingredients are so fresh - beef pho is a must. Look, I am not saying it is like what's in Vietnam (which by the way, if you haven't been, you must go at least for the original pho), but it's brilliant enough here. Coffee is delicious too. The service was also nice and attentive. I'd visit Belfast again just for Madame Pho in a heartbeat. Good restaurants can turn bad, I just hope this one doesn't!”
