   The food was absolutely delicious as always, the service friendly and helpful. However, the noise level of the music was intolerable at the first table we were shown to; the ladies already sitting there had given up on trying to converse with each other. The waiter showed us to another table, equally noisy, and then to a third which was slightly better, a little further away from the speakers, but we still had to shout to hear each other. I'm all for a lively atmosphere, and it would have been great in a nightclub, but for friends trying to talk to each other over a pleasant meal, it really was too much. A great pity, as I'm a big fan of Pho.

   Disappointed - the venue was half full, but it still took 50 mins for my food to arrive (after I chased it) and the starter and main at the same time. And the pork and lemongrass balls we’re cold. Such as shame as Pho used to be one of my favourites - not sure if it’s just this branch.

   Arrived for a booking of 3 on Sat evening. Staff friendly and ordered drinks with crackers to look at menu. Ordered starters to share and mains. However, an hour later we were still waiting for any food to show. On complaining, we were told 6 minutes to wait further and apologies. 10 minutes later our mains arrived. We never received our starters. Food ok but no real attempt to apologise for the long wait or genuine check in after to see if all ok. When the bill arrived, we had been charged for our starters. We complained and duty manager came over, apologised and offered to remove food charges from the bill. Whilst this qas generous, it did not overcome the poor experience. What was obvious was the number of food to go orders being collected at the door; approx 1 every couple of minutes. Clearly, the kitchen cannot cope with volume of both online and in person diners. We did consider ordering via Deliveroo to our table! So, until Pho get the balance right for diners in their restaurant we will avoid. We heard other diners complaining of same issue. Pho risk becoming an expensive take away unless they sort this out.
