We had a fantastic experience at Pho. It was our first visit. I had the classic chicken curry served with jasmine rice, it was so good. My Partner had the hot & sour beef brisket broth, he said it was delicious. The service was top notch, the lovely Josh served us. The only thing I would say is that the music was way too loud, a couple of notches down would be perfect. We will definitely be back.
