"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."

One of the most delicious pho bo that I ever had. I would not change anything on this food. I've tried it with beef steak meat.

Literally the best spring rolls ever. It’s the deep fried coating that does it. One thing to beat in mind with the fantastic noodle soups; they are incredibly filling.

I just needed a hot dish upon a rainy evening. Nothing fancy. The place is a small place with few seats. Ok interior. Good food. I had the vietnamese fresh spring Rolls which were a bit dissapointing. But then an excellent and Spicy noodle soup. Very good. Nice and Quick service. View menu

Friendly staff, good choice on menu and fresh dishes. The fresh juice with apple and ginger was fantastic, very much helped the cold! The beef and rice bowl was very filling and with the coriander and chilli gave a nice kick. I wasn’t too keen on the pork spring rolls. Presentation is very good. We will return

I went here for lunch because it was near my workplace, had a deep-fried salt and chilli squid starter and carrot, apple, ginger juice which was lovely. However I when I got my main Pho tai; the noodle tasted perfumey and doughy. The broth lacked the traditional flavours of a pho. Where was the cinnamon, the star anise and black cardamom flavours? It was a plain meaty broth soup without the spice. Go to kingsland road if you want authentic pho or maybe you'll have better luck making it yourself rather than dining here. Positives: smoothies, some of the starters and the friendly staff. Avoid main soups.
