Old Man Pho Southbank - Vietnamese Restaurant
Old Man Pho Southbank’s Dumplings offer a surprisingly intense flavour, delivering a punch of broth that coats the delicate parcels. However, several diners noted the dumplings can be quite generously portioned, potentially overwhelming those seeking a lighter starter. This restaurant is best suited for adventurous eaters and groups who appreciate bold Vietnamese flavours and aren't afraid of a substantial mouthful.
