  “I was in Sunderland with Work and needed a place to eat on a sunday afternoon. Having walked around for ages past closed places, me and my friend spotted Pho 179 open and gave it a try. I have also never tried Vietnamese food prior to this. I had the Wok Fried Pho with Chicken, absolutely divine. Loads of flavour and a great portion size. I also love that the tables have Soy sauce and Chilli paste already there for you to use. This was truly comfort food. My friend had the Udon noodles with Chicken, she said the same. Absolutely delicious. The service is top tier and food comes quick. Overall, this place is a gem. Im just sad i live nearly 100 miles away so i cant come regulary. But i will absolutely be back. The prices are also more than fair.”

  “Fantastic food. Couldn’t fault. Staff very friendly but not that high standard of taking the plates away quickly etc - it felt more like a diner experience than restaurant but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s quite casual but again not a bad thing. It was also quite cold with door opening for uber eats etc - they could do with using a separate entrance for these pickups. Bottle authentic beers nice. Definitely go if you’re thinking about it - the food is outstanding!! Also a very clean place.”

  “The food here is fantastic! We had the dumplings, morning glory, caramelised pork belly and the bun cha. Everything tasted delicious, but the stand out was the bun cha. It was so flavourful and tasted exactly like the bun cha’s we had in Vietnam! The service was also excellent. Would recommend for a fantastic meal in Sunderland!”

  “My husband and I have been here about 6–7 times, and we have always been very satisfied with both the food and the service. There’s also a small banh mi shop next door, which is very convenient. The food is really delicious—I often order bun cha and banh mi. The bun cha sometimes takes a little longer to prepare, but it’s totally worth the wait. Highly recommended!”

  “The food is the real star: deeply flavourful, comforting, and clearly made with care. The special pho is outstanding—rich, aromatic broth that tastes like it’s been simmering all day, tender meat, and perfectly cooked noodles. Service is friendly and efficient, prices are more than fair for the quality and portion sizes, and the atmosphere makes it easy to linger. Truly a neighbourhood gem.”

  “Very authentic Pho with flavourful soup base but the serving size and meat portions were quite small compared to other restaurants in Newcastle … Their spring roll and original Vietnamese iced coffee ☕️ are excellent as well … Will definitely come back here again …”

  “I absolutely loved the Vietnamese pho here! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — you can really taste the depth from hours of simmering. The rice noodles were smooth and tender, and the fresh herbs added a refreshing aroma that brought everything together. The beef was tender and juicy, and the portion size was generous. It’s comforting, delicious, and authentic — definitely one of the best bowls of pho I’ve ever had!”
