"Had an appointment in St John street and wanted something warming, did not fancy a sandwich or cold salad. Wanted something different. Squid starter was very nice, betel beef leaf starter, very good, prawn spring roll was greasy and over fried, so 2 out of 3 starters, tick, would order them again. We waited a strangely long time to get our mains. There was a table that came after we had finished our starters and they got their main at the same time we did?.We were not there at a peak time. Mains arrived, looked beautiful, Chicken bun was yummy, Pho was a disappointment if I am honest. The broth lacked flavour, depth and also seasoning, ingredients in the bowl were fresh and tasty, but the body of the dish that is meant to take hours of simmering to produce and a shopping list of ingredients was completely flat. I have had Pho dishes where that first sip is a multi layered taste extravaganza. This was a monotone flat experience. It just did not taste like it took a lot of effort or ingredients to make. I would visit again, the curry on the adjacent table looked amazing and maybe that will be my choice next time."
