  “The most incredible pho in the heart of london! As if I had travelled back to vietnam, highly recommend for anyone looking for a new lunch spot. With gardens just a short walk away you just can’t complain about this spot”

  “Was lovely, I have been coming here for the past year and it never disappoints. Since they're family owned and are doing everything fresh, you can expect a 10-15 min waiting time, so go during off peak times”

  “I had the chicken curry with rice and an iced lemonade! The chicken curry was homely and tasteful and the lemonade was perfect and not too sweet! It’s a small place and a little cramped but the food makes up for it!”

  “The bad reviews about the unpleasant clerk weren't exaggerated. Most unpleasant experience in London and I'm weighing reporting this restaurant to the FSA. My wife is celiac, and asking any questions about the menu were met with hostility. No idea how a place like this stays open or why people put up with this attitude. This clerk does not belong at the till. We left after ordering. Since the food hadn't come out, he refunded us after a heated exchange. Avoid this place. EDIT: The length the owner has gone to defend this employee is shameful. He was impatient and rude to every single person that walked in (he snapped at two young ladies who asked about stir-fry and the type of noodle that was used), including my wife, who simply asked about gluten. I jumped in only after we sat down and tried to ask another simple question. I'd seen enough and challenged him about his treatment of people with celiac disease. And I hope those reading this will take note. The reviews from other customers about this gentleman are true.”

  “Tried a classic pho, without exaggeration i think it was the best one ive ever tried! My friend ordered the spicy one, which i also tried and liked that one too. The staff is very nice and friendly, and the place itself is very cosy, definitely will be back 🥹”

  “Wow. What a gem in the heart of London. I was on my way to Gail’s for my typical soup lunch menu. Then smelt something delicious. Turned around and then thought ‘nah, I have a plan’. Gail’s. But then I turned around and headed for wherever this smell was coming from. And found an ADORABLE little Pho place on the corner. Asked for a recommendation since it was my first time having Pho - I got the Rare and Cooked Beef Pho. Not spicy (unless you eat the chilli on the side - in which brace yourself a little bit unless for a one second heat that dissipates soon after). The soup tasted so fresh and healthy and hot and exactly what a light soup is about. A mum with two kids gave me the recommendation of putting sauce on the side plate and dipping the beef in - thank you! I’m going to tell my grandchildren this! I didn’t realise how yummy Siracha could be. The beef was delightful, very easy to chew. The noodles were yummy, but not my favourite type of noodle now that I have tried it. I liked the Siracha over the Sweet Hoison sauce. It is a solid portion. Spenny for a student, which I am, but what can you expect from a restaurant in the heart of London. Currently, in a food coma, for good reasons. It was small but it worked to the advantage of a lot of people coming in for takeaways while I ate in felt like I was part of the team welcoming customers lol! Opportunity to speak to other customers is such a lovely bonus of a small place such as this. Highly recommend - I am going to come back for my first Banhmi!”

  “Absolutely loved the pho here! Super generous with the beef, and it’s wonderfully warming and perfect for this cold weather. Dining in usually comes with a 12.5% tax, but they’re so kind that if you pay with cash, you can skip it entirely! A perfect deal for students looking for a cozy spot”

  “I had the beef pho here and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced—comforting without being too salty. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime brought everything together beautifully. Portion size was generous, and it arrived piping hot, just the way pho should be. Easily one of the best bowls of pho I’ve had—will definitely be coming back!”

  “There is a theory that when dining at Vietnamese or Chinese joints you should order only what is in the name of the shop. This is a prime example. The Phở at this place was superb. Deep beef flavour, beautifully fatty brisket and barely cooked rare beef. Perfect aside from the usual complaint in the UK of not enough herbage, spring onions were also conspicuously missing. Not cheap but it delivered. The BBQ pork and spring roll not so much. The spring rolls really don’t bring much to the game and the nouc cham was sweet, we prefer more lime juice and garlic, we could not smell any fish sauce. Mind you, Brits on the whole don’t care for it nor raw onion. Did not try the Banh Mi but that seemed their most popular takeaway. The staff were sweet and helpful but they were out of a lot of items including ice on Saturday at 1pm. It looks bigger inside than it is; two cramped tables and a window bar which seats 3 although in good weather there are a couple tables on the street in its little alleyway so you can share stares from tourists. So it’s basically a great Phở stand with no toilets. Good enough for me.”
