"Had a great experience at Pho! The food was fresh, flavourful, and served quickly. What really made the visit stand out was the excellent service—Anna was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Big thanks to her for making our dining experience even better!"

"Really hard to fault anything at this restaurant. Super friendly servers and all of the dishes had an authentic taste. The house Pho, in particular, was as good as any that I've had in Hanoi. The summer spring rolls were delightful too, as was the mango salad. The Morning Glory also had a really decent spicy kick to it, as well as having a decent crunch to it. I'll definitely be coming back here for more authentic Vietnamese cuisine."
