The soft, tender noodles in this pho provide a pleasant texture that pairs well with a light, subtle broth lacking heavy salt. While the beef flavor profile is understated, the dish delivers a clean and refreshing essence reminiscent of authentic street food from Ho Chi Minh City.

“🥰9.5/10 Crispy Pork Banh Mi. Moist pork. Fresh fillings & bread. Great flavour balance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🤷♀️6/10 Rare Beef Pho - not as much depth of flavour. Wish lemon etc came with it. Good soft noodle texture. Mostly notes of salt and pepper. A little underwhelming. Nice owners. Authentic. Food came really quick, though we were the only din”
