Long wait time on Sunday evening at around 6:15pm. The restaurant is not very big. Very easily overloaded on the rush hour. They also has drivers non-stop come pick up the App orders too. The pho wasn't very good at all. I don't know this is the standard in London, or we're in the wrong area! But the pho in California is much better! The three stars reviews was mainly for the services only. They are working as hard as they can to taking care the customers.

Good Pho with a variety of toppings, broth choices & proteins. Personable, friendly & attentive service. There's an upstairs for ordering take-out and restroom access. Located just across from the Spitalfield Market, Pho is prime real estate. Tons of shopping within steps of this restaurant. Don't let the small exterior appearance fool ya; there's plenty of seating available. The décor isn't shabby either; dope lighting, color pop and water vessels. Free Wifi while you dine...just login using your social media account. The vegetable pho was absolutely delicious especially the broth. I'd definitely return. ~Christy

As we were walking past Spitalfields Market, you could smell the delicious scents of cilantro and pho wafting from the building! This was one of the best bowl of pho I've had in a very long time. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were the right tenderness. We shared a bowl and by the end, I was sad that this was over. It hit the spot on a dreary, rainy day. This bowl of pho set the stage for many more bowl of pho in London, to come. The service was really good and the waiters were attentive. Great experience.

For a Friday evening bite to eat, we decided to sample Pho - Vietnamese cuisine with multiple branches in London and a nice, punnable name (PHO MY GOD). For starters, we picked out the Mc chiên giòn (fried baby squid) (please don't ask me how to pronounce it) and Cánh gà (seasoned crispy chicken wings with sriracha dip). And THEY WERE AMAZING. The wings were wonderfully seasoned and meaty, and the squid was just wonderful. I was completely sold on Pho by the starters alone, to be honest. The pho main course itself was pretty huge and very tasty. I chose the Prawn pho with chicken broth, and it was lovely and flavoursome - full of soft, well-cooked noodles. I did struggle with eating it slightly until I had my technique in check though... The portion size was very generous and I ended up taking some home with me - Pho also have a takeout counter upstairs so you can grab some on the go. The service was great too - despite having a sore throat and basically having lost her voice, our server was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was pretty lively on a Friday night, but we got a table immediately and were served quickly. I'm totally sold on Pho and will definitely be heading back very soon. PHO YES.

While the picture that comes up on Yelp is a photo of the bathroom (WHY?), the restaurant itself is quite cozy. The menu is diverse and even if you aren't ordering pho, you still pick a winning dish. The pho comes with quite a lot of vegetables inside and a side tray of herbs to add, so in case the additional toppings to add confuse you, you will still get quite a lot of ingredients in your bowl. There are also a number of additional sauces you can add, however not all of them may be located on your table. We sat at a table for two and only had the sriracha and the fish sauce. We had to ask another table for their in house made sauces, which I would recommend highly.

Brisket pho

On a chilly day at the start of December, there are few things better than a Vietnamese pho to warm you up from the inside. I did a Yelp search from my desk and noticed that this restaurant was within walking distance and had a good rating. It was certainly a popular day for pho! The line of people seeking Vietnamese was almost out of the door. The winter air was crisp and we were keen to access the restaurant proper and get our fill. The pho was delicious and I was satisfied in just the way I wanted. The first spoonful of the broth was moreish. I scooped several more full spoons of broth down before I started on the noodles and beef. The noodles were cooked just right (a little firm, as I prefer) and the beef was tasty. I finished the broth. All of it. To the last spoonful. I think this is a pho restaurant for newcomers to pho. The menu has helpful comments about the dishes so you know what to expect. The waitress asked me if I had had pho before, when she dropped off the pho with the side dish of leaves and lime. For a newcomer, I think she may have given some friendly advice about how to tackle the pho. This is a bankable Vietnamese restaurant near work and I expect that I will be back again this winter.

Shredded chicken salad
Nick S.

I've walked by this place a hundred times going to or from Brick Lane and Spitalfields, but it's always been packed and I've never made the time. Well now I'm glad I did, because it's amazing. I had a shredded chicken salad that was light, crispy and flavorful. They also have very good Vietnamese iced coffee, but if you're not used to it, the caffeine hit will be like nitro to your veins. You've been warned.

Really like it the first time, like it again the second time, and then again the third time. Now I…read moresometimes make the trip to just come here, for some good old authentic Vietnamese food. This is a little gem in Leyton. What makes this Vietnamese restaurant stand outs, is that it has a slightly different added menu, it still makes the traditional food, but stuffed chicken wings? Saying that, the traditional dishes were just as splendid, full of mouth watering flavours, combining with the freshness and texture when taking that first bite. And there was no skimping on the portion sizes. I left that restaurant quite full. The venue itself was spacious and open. really cool modern and simple decorating, but it works. Even when the restaurant was full, still did not feel crowded, quite the opposite, relax with a buzz vibe. That was also due to the part of the waiters, who were very friendly, attentive, and on point. They have some really good lunch offers at the moment, so that really helps, but generally the cost is quite decent and value for money, comparing to other Vietnamese restaurants. Other than parking and its awkward location, one way narrow road, I would say this is a good place to eat.

One of only very few places I'll go in London for a bowl of pho...I am not usually picky about my…read morefood except when it comes to pho! Staff are super friendly and helpful... Update 2/11/2016: Little Saigon have upgraded their menu and have included more home cooked favourites! Canh Chua Nem nuong! Highly recommend!!!!
