Quick info
About Pho & Bun
Pho & Bun is a Vietnamese restaurant at 76 Shaftesbury Ave in London, near China Town. The kitchen prepares Vietnamese street food by hand, and the pho list is where the menu gets specific: a red wine beef pho sits alongside a wok-fried garlic beef pho and a spicy vermicelli pho. Starters and sides run from a tiger prawn summer roll served with peanut sauce to a pork and crab spring roll. A cocktail menu runs alongside the food, and vegetarian dishes are on the menu too. The restaurant is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the pho, especially the red wine beef pho and the wok fried garlic beef pho, praised for flavourful broth and huge portions of beef. Close behind are the starters, with the tiger prawn summer roll described as fresh and refreshing, and its peanut sauce called the perfect dip. Others name the Bún Chả Hà Nội with perfectly grilled pork, the mango rainbow salad, and crispy honey wings. Drinks draw mentions too, including the Vietnamese iced coffee, a homemade lemonade iced tea that was not too sugary, and a coco spark mocktail one reviewer found a bit too sweet. Service is repeatedly called friendly and efficient, and several mention good value and generous portions. The main caveat is size: the restaurant is small and can get busy, and one reviewer found the seats uncomfortable and suggests reserving. The fried bao bun with ice-cream gets praise as a pudding, and one family says they were given a dessert on the house.

“Absolutely loved this place! 🇻🇳 I had the Bún Chả Hà Nội and a Cà Phê Sữa Đá, and both were absolutely banging. The bún chả was full of flavour with perfectly grilled pork, and the Vietnamese iced coffee was rich, smooth, and the perfect finish. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and friendly service. Although I didn't order a cocktail, I found the cocktail menu really creative! Definitely coming back!”

“Unbelievably good!! Came across this place by accident but my goodness, what a pleasant surprise. Had the red wine beef pho and it was so good… flavourful, fresh, the spice level was just perfect - not too spicy but a little tiny bit peppery. Homemade lemonade ice tea was delightful too, not too sugary. Overall 10/10”

“Such good value for money!! The pho was huge, with generous portions of beef. I took the vietnamese fried rice and the summer roll with prawn and both were amazing! The summer roll was so fresh and the peanut sauce was the perfect dip for it! I also took the coco spark mocktail and that was very refreshing as well, though a bit too sweet for my personal liking. P.S. Summer rolls actually have 4 portions but I already ate two before the mains came hehe”

“Had an excellent lunch here with two friends. Superb menu and everything we ordered was full of flavour. Managed to get a very good deal via The Fork app. Will certainly return when in the area.”
