Customer Review Summary

Pho is the main draw, with beef versions mentioned most, from a mix of meatballs, brisket and steak to a beef brisket bowl one reviewer's daughter orders every visit. One reviewer calls the steak the best part and recommends the steak pho, and another praises the pickled garlic and sauce. A vegetarian pho with tofu arrives with a generous serving of fresh salad and herbs. Close behind are the wok fried rice with chicken and dried shrimp, prawn summer rolls, baby squids, seafood spring rolls, and a beef brisket curry with cauliflower rice and a nice kick, plus a pineapple, coconut and apple smoothie. Reviewers repeatedly praise friendly service, with servers explaining to first-timers how to enjoy the dishes, and several describe the atmosphere as cozy or calm and relaxed. The only complaint is practical: one reviewer says Google Maps made it unclear that the restaurant sits on the top floor of Westgate. Reviewers also recall a manager giving a birthday discount and a server bringing a diner's dog shredded chicken.

    “I visited PHO Oxford on my birthday, and it was a lovely experience. The restaurant is located on the top floor of a shopping complex and has a calm, relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the vegetarian pho with tofu, while my friend had the beef and pork pho. The food was delicious, and I especially loved the generous amount of fresh salad and herbs served with the pho, it really enhanced the flavour. As it was my birthday, the manager kindly gave me a discount, which was a thoughtful gesture and made the visit even more special. Overall, a great place for authentic Vietnamese food with friendly service. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!”

    “The pho was really good! I got the beef mix with meatballs, brisket and steak, but I recommend getting the steak pho because the steak was the best part. Their pickled garlic and sauce are also really good. Just a note: when you get there it’s in westgate at the top floor. Google Maps kinda made that unclear”
