Oh ! Banh Mi Pho
The pho at Oh ! Banh Mi Pho is a surprisingly divisive dish, with many praising the rich and flavourful broth alongside generous chicken pieces and perfectly cooked noodles. However, some reviewers found the vegan version unbalanced, dominated by overly sweet onion and tofu, while others warned of an intensely fish sauce flavour in the rare beef option. This restaurant seems best suited for adventurous eaters seeking fresh Vietnamese flavours and a relaxed atmosphere, particularly those happy to customize their bowl with the extensive sauce station.

“I know why there’s an Oh! in the name Oh! Banh mi Pho that is because their Banh mi’s are so phenomenal and tasty and stuffed with fresh ingredients. While I was waiting for my order to be ready, I looked around at what they have to offer and they have a sauce station for all customers to use is a great idea but the only downside is they don’t have”
