About Pho Canterbury

Pho Canterbury is a Vietnamese restaurant on Burgate serving noodle soups and street food dishes from a 33-item menu. Spring rolls and summer rolls open the menu, alongside chicken wings and baby squid, and the vermicelli noodle bowl comes with fresh herbs and pickled vegetables, with the spring roll swappable for a summer roll. Vegan options appear on the menu, and dishes can be adapted for gluten- and dairy-free diets. The room is air-conditioned, with a step-free entrance for visitors with mobility needs and high chairs for families with young children. Dogs are welcome inside, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended given how full the room can get. Beyond dine-in, the kitchen handles takeaway and delivery for those eating off site. A student discount is offered.

Customer Review Summary

Pho, especially the chicken and spicy versions, is the dish reviewers return to most, with several calling the broth rich and comforting and the flavours more authentic than nearby chains. Close behind, diners repeatedly single out the vermicelli noodle bowl and baby squid, and multiple reviewers with dairy, gluten, or coeliac needs describe staff swapping items freely, such as a spring roll switched for a summer roll, and praise the vegan and allergy-friendly options. Fresh juice blends, a spicy lychee margarita, and a Saigon cider also get individual mentions. Service is described as attentive and fast across many visits, with servers refilling water unprompted and offering dessert, though one reviewer felt their server never checked back on the meal, and another says it was hard to catch anyone's attention to pay despite a table being found quickly on a busy night. A group of four felt the portions were light on meat despite good flavour, and one diner noted the soups could have been more flavoured. Reviewers mention dogs being welcomed in and a student discount applied without being asked.

    “Nice evening at Pho Canterbury with great advice and service provided by Shaizad and Gaia! Some special desires as an extra side Phak Choi have been taken up perfectly! I was surprised to see that there is also a Saigon Cider! I loved it! Good music in the background perfectly matching the interior design.soups could have been more flavored.,”
  • Sally Woods
    “My first time having Vietnamese food so was unsure of what to get as I am dairy and gluten intolerant. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. I had the vermicelli noodles with chicken and they swapped out the spring roll with a summer roll. The food was well presented and delicious. All the food coming out for tables around us looked great. I’d definitely eat in Pho again but would struggle to choose between all the dishes!”
  • Sophie Monks
    “Amazing food and excellent service. The waiter was incredibly attentive and really good with my child, which made the whole experience so much more relaxed and enjoyable. The pho bowl and curry were both packed with flavour - fresh, rich, and beautifully cooked. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Vietnamese food in Canterbury.”
