Pho Bo Phu Gia

Pho was very good. We'd gone there based on the Feed Phil program on Netflix. The service was very cursory. Looked round to see we didn't get any dough sticks or bamboo shoots compared to everyone else. Asked for a sugarcane drink but was told no despite it saying on the wall and other people appearing to have it. Maybe because we asked for it after the main Pho and they just wanted us out for the next customers. Anyway cheap at 4 Pho for £8 or £2 each! We then visited the lady outside who had her sugarcane store and crushed it in front of us which we bought 4 drinks for £1.80 or 45p each. They were delicious!!

Great pho soups with different variations of meat. The portions are decent, meat is plentiful but the broth can be tasteless sometimes, however, there are plenty of condiments to make the broth to your liking. It is slightly on the pricier side (60-80k a bowl), but the food quality reflects it well. Can recommend the "pho bo tai". Note the place closes from noon until early afternoon.

I took an Indonesian group there to eat. I never eat here. But my customer seem has a lot of experience with Pho. They eat a lot of Pho at HCM

I found this place on the Michelin restaurant website and assumed it would be a great spot to try Northern Vietnamese pho. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, but it only came with basic brisket and beef slices—no tendons or tripe, which are typically included. The broth was bland and lacked depth of flavor, and the noodles were overcooked. What made the experience more frustrating was that we were not served the same accompaniments as other Vietnamese customers dining there. Other tables received fried donut sticks and vegetables with their pho, but we were not offered any of these. I also speak enough Vietnamese to clearly say what I want and don’t want, yet the person taking our order acted as if she didn’t understand us. In the end, we only ate the meat and left the rest of the bowl untouched. We paid and left. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn’t recommend it and wouldn’t return.
