Quick info
About Pho Covent Garden
Pho Covent Garden is a Vietnamese restaurant at 65A Long Acre in London, serving noodle soups and street-food dishes to walk-in guests. The restaurant is Coeliac UK accredited, so diners avoiding gluten can order from most of the menu, starters included. The team asks about allergies at the table and prepares dishes within coeliac guidelines. The pho comes with beef brisket, chicken, king prawn, or tofu and mushroom, and a beef combo adds steak, brisket and meatballs. The Super Green Pho is the vegan option. Starters include summer rolls, and a 3 meat rice bowl sits alongside the noodle soups for those who want rice. To drink, the restaurant makes ca phe, Vietnamese coffee brewed with beans from Vietnam.

Customer Review Summary
Pho is the draw, with diners naming the king prawn pho, the beef brisket pho, the chicken pho and a tofu and mushroom version for vegetarians, praising flavourful broth, perfectly textured noodles and generous portions. Close behind are starters such as summer rolls, beef betel and pork and lemongrass, plus a 3meat rice bowl and a Vietnamese ca phe that one reviewer says reminded them of Vietnam. One reviewer also notes real spice rather than paprika heat. Staff are described as friendly and kind, though one reviewer found a server impatient. The complaints are about the cooking: the steak and brisket in the beef combo pho were a bit dry and the broth could have been hotter, another reviewer found the beef tough, and a vegan diner says the Super Green Pho has too little tofu, with extra tofu adding only a few pieces. Diners avoiding gluten report a waitress asking about allergies at seating and pointing out the only two dishes containing gluten, and one table says every starter was made gluten-free so everyone could share.

“I ask some questions politely, however one of staff (lady) her facial expression a bit impatient and her vibe kinda doesn’t welcome, the other two guys were helpful. I ordered Poh, but beef a bit tough. Overall, it was ok!”

“Eating at Pho is always a good idea! This time I went for the 3meat rice bowl. It was really tasty and a pretty generous portion, even for me and I was very hungry! 😄”

“I have coeliac disease, and came to this restaurant because they’re accredited by Coeliac UK, and as soon as we were seated the waitress asked if there are any allergies at the table. She was super helpful, and pointed out the only two menu items that contained gluten, and let me know everything would be prepared within coeliac guidelines. Overall, the waitress was kind and happy to explain menu items. The food itself was delicious, I had summer prawn rolls and king prawn pho. Flavourful food, I’ve always been partial to Vietnamese cuisine. The negroni sunset cocktail was also wonderful. Highly recommend”

“Perfect pre-show supper. The food was fresh and delicious, with generous portions. We had a selection of starters - can highly recommend the beef betel, the pork and lemongrass, and the Summer rolls. We also had the beef brisket pho and chicken pho, which were amazing. They also made all the starters gluten-free so we could all enjoy sharing them.”
