The food was excellent. my wife had the pho (as usual!) and I had a spicy curry, we both really enjoyed our meals. The staff were all very friendly, pleasant and helpful. Additionally my wife is gluten intolerant, and Pho is exceptional in providing a 95% gluten free menu. Also the staff were assiduous in enquiring about food allergies prior to ordering.

We went with our teens for my husbands birthday. We were sat in the panelled room( old reading library) at the back. Our teens loved the animated murals and decoration. Architect husband liked the ambience of the room. Food was excellent, as was the service, price as to be expected for the food quality.

We always have the same things: penne giardiniera and broccoli/lasagne and side salad followed by coffee. It's good! Lasagne was a bit cold this time, hence the 4 stars. Nice staff, nice atmosphere, reasonable price. We'll be back.
