It was ok - Edit
Overall, the food and experience was ok. The food didnt look appetising but tasted great. I went for the wok fried noodles with this isnt chicken which tasted good but looked like slop. Summer rolls with peanut sauce was also tasty.
Read moreMy experience was damped a bit when a waiter dropped a plate of chicken bones from another table down my back. They were pretty apologetic and genuine so I wasnt too bothered. They gave us a free side of prawn crackers and took the drinks off our bill which was a good gesture.

Vegan pho - Edit
It’s a great choice to eat here, especially on a cold and rainy day. The pho tasted really good, and the staff was kind with us.

So reliable! - Edit
As a gluten intolerant vegan, pho is the safest and most reliable chain for a delicious meal. The consistency across restaurant locations is so impressive - had my favourite hot & spicy tofu pho and it was just as amazing as ever. Such a safe bet for super flavourful and satisfying food. Really quick service and lovely staff.

Nothing to see here. - Edit
I arrived and before I sat down was told a list of items that were out of stock. It’s never a good start, how can you be out of stock of so many dishes?
Read moreI had spring rolls to start as summer rolls were out of stock .Hot and all I could taste was oil.
I had curry noodles for the main with tofu and mushrooms (the tiniest amount of button shrooms). It was luke warm and very bland. It tasted like a tea spoonful of curry powder and some rice vinegar, flavours had not developed.. It was really was bland and I’m sure that could do better.
It remind me or greggs and Wagamama, freshly prepared.

Loads of vegan options - Edit
We popped our Pho @phorestaurant cherry🍒 last night at the St James Quarter. We had heard great things about this place and all the vegan options on offer - there were loads.
Read moreTo start we had "summer rolls" they contained @this.uk isn't chicken and we opted for both "no fish" sauce and satay. Very nice, but would order something different next time, only because it is a cold dish, it was really tasty.
We went half and half on the mains, I went for the house special "Super Green Vietnamese noodle soup". Would definitely order again I absolutely loved this.
Lastly "Wok Fried Noodles with Tofu and Mushroom" also really delicious with loads of extra beans sprouts and the peanuts on top were glorious.
I can't wait to go back actually. You can pimp your plate with added chillies or with pickled chillies and garlic and of course my favourite @sriracha_fg so it's fully customized to meet your spicy needs. We added loads of chillies! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥🔥🔥
Hospitality was also excellent, really good waiting staff, seemed knowledgeable about the food and very attentive. Top marks guys!
Highly recommend this place. 😁

Not worth it - Edit
Been there a few times, sadly the service was terrible every single time, waitresses not paying attention and rolling their eyes if you are not ready to order the minute you sit down…
Read moreThe food was amazing the very first time (when they initially opened) but since then I only had disappointing experiences, maybe the chef changed or the company stopped caring as they are always busy, in any case most things are rather flavourless now, will not be back

Pros: Vegan options
Cons: Terrible service, quality dropped massively

Delicious range of options - Edit
Pho is always a safe bet for good food, I think it’s one of the best chains for vegans. I was after a light and delicious lunch, and Pho absolutely delivered. The staff were all really nice and efficient; the service was really quick. I got a green pho with mock chicken and vegan crackers, I was really happy with my meal and the restaurant as a whole.

Tasty food,a bit mean with the tofu - Edit
Service was very quick. The food was very nice, we had summer rolls with satay sauce and spring rolls with spicy sauce to start, both of which were very good. For main courses, we had spicy this isn’t chicken pho and tofu and mushroom pho. They were really nice, although I felt they could have added more tofu as it was a bit sparse.

Lovely fresh flavours - Edit
Pho is a chain restaurant, but it has an excellent vegan offering which is bursting with flavour. I have been a couple of times and it hasn't disappointed yet. They use 'This' as a chicken substitute, but they also have dishes with tasty tofu and mushrooms. Wholesome, comforting and delicious.

Tasty, fresh and great if you're avoiding gluten - Edit
One of our go-to chain restaurants. Everything at Pho tastes fresh and delicious and the majority of the menu is gluten free. Would recommend the papaya salad, summer rolls (with peanut sauce), lotus stem salad and of course the mushroom and tofu pho (vietnamese noodle soup).
Read moreDefinitely worth a visit if you want a quality, accessible chain which makes great tasting food.

Tasty - Edit
Had a really lovely meal here. We shared summer rolls, followed by a mock chicken vermicelli dish and a spicy green pho. Very tasty - would definitely recommend! The only downside was they were sold out of prawnless crackers and the drinks weren't maked up with vegan options.
