Third visit here & sadly not the best and gone down hill service wise.. It was a very quiet evening and service was incredibly slow for some unknown reason. Were not asked for drinks orders for a very long time. Mains came out just as...we were eating starters. When one of us asked for tap water we were told they no longer do this. I’m sure by law as a licensed restaurant you are required to not deny a patron drinking water so this really baffled me. Maybe I’m wrong but it seemed a very silly thing to do. Unlikely to return.More

Now my favourite to have delivered. I have vermicelli noodles or a curry dish. Spring rolls either crispy or summer rolls. Both very good.

The starter was homemade meat spring rolls, not bought in, and very tasty. Mains were equally as good, with me being shown what I needed to do with the sauce accompaniment. Would recommend

We went for a meal, 11 of us, and all really enjoyed the meal with Bao, who was serving us giving excellent service. He was very friendly, happy and made us all feel very comfortable. We all particularly liked our starters!

Came in a Saturday lunch for mums birthday. I have been to Vietnam 5 times in holiday and it’s one of my favourite cuisines. I was a bit disappointed here. Food was freshly cooked but not totally authentic. Fresh summer rolls were the best dish...but the dipping sauce was not the fish sauce/ chilli dipping sauce that would be typical. - it was a chili lime sauce that seemed to be ubiquitous here , also served with my Bun cha ( pork lemon grass noodles), which is not the typical sauce with this dish. The beef pho looked promising but mum thought the soup was instant. The beef was more like a sliced beef brisket. The spring rolls were tasteless. Sorry won’t be backMore

Hi Catherine, Thank you for the review. However, there is some confusion here. Our Summer rolls are served with our family recipe peanut sauce, Not chilli lemon sauce as you described. Then you must have mistaken us for the Pho chain restaurant, located by Bournemouth...More

Online the menu clearly states .. with tender medium-rare beef slices and slow-cooked beef, this is also what the picture on-line shows plus lots of onions. Mine had neither the rare beef or onion, with 6 slices of beef, overall taste was weak oxo with...overpowering star anise. The starter summer rolls tasted of the dipping sauce, which was nice but the roll should have some flavour of it's own. Not asked how was my meal was during or at the end. Looks good but no substance, none of the bursting flavours and textures that was promised.More

Pierina and other serving staff were amazing. So was the food. Staff took time to explain the dishes, what to expect and how to best eat the food. Mostly all gluten free which suited us. Wish we lived near as would come often. Good value,...healthy and tasty. Thanks Sarah & Chris East SussexMore

Both meals had a lack of meat. Rice meal tasteless and poor, rice lumpy and chewy, salad just cucumber tomato lettuce and carrot chopped in lumps with no dressing. Noodle meal ok but my partner was still hungry. We ended up going to subway straight...after. Very disappointing.More

OMG. This is the best pho I have ever tasted! The server was amazing, he gave us recommendations for good parings between the small dishes and the mains so that was had a range of tastes. I had the hot wings to start and they...are like Vietnamese fried chicken, full of wonderful spices. The food comes out as and when it is cooked so that it is as hot and fresh as can be. My main was the vegan spicy pho. The broth was so rich and flavourful, and the meal featured this isn't chicken strips and lovely big chunks of tofu. My partner had the prawn summer rolls and duck pho and said they were out of this world. We will definitely be back!More
