    We loved this place so much, we visited twice. The space looks small when you walk in, but they have more seating upstairs. And they have a clean and very stylish bathroom! The first visit we got the lemon grass chicken, the sea bass, and the soft shell crab. All were 10 out of 10. Soft shell crab is one of my favorite foods, and this is one of the best I've had. Second visit we got the crab again, and then tried the scallops and the duck. Both delicious as well, but I'm still dreaming about that sea bass! The staff is very friendly and service is efficient, they don't have you waiting around for your food very long. Highly recommend, this was our favorite meal in London!

    A two-story restaurant lending itself to greater capacity than most of the other restaurants in the same district. Very tasty light portions of Vietnamese food. Served in a quaint and cozy island themed environment. Service is quick and efficient. Convenient access to all the local theaters in the West End.

    Pho+ to-go. Good-N-Fast food.

    This Pho was a 5, my sidekick said. She doesn't really know if it's authentic or not. However, she know good when she taste it and that's what matters. I had the Bun Thit Bo Nuong which wasn't what I expected but it was VG also. We were staying at a nearby hotel and the major reason for stopping here was it's location and fellow YELP reviews. Thanks Yelpers. We ate in our hotel room. The to-go order was nicely boxed with eating utensils. The broth for the Pho was packed separate from the base and was piping hot when opened. No complaints.

    I'm all about supporting the diaspora but you won't find authentic Vietnamese pho here. After days of eating British food, I was craving something familiar. The place is nicely decorated. It can be a bit cramped but it's London after all. The service was subpar but I was not expecting much. I ordered a Pho Dac Biet. Once they gave me a little teapot thing and told me this was the fish sauce for the pho, I knew it would go downhill from there. I can say I ate a soup with a meat broth and rice noodles, but it was not pho. The spices that make the dish what it is with simply not there. Cinnamon, star anise, fennel, and other components of a generally recognizable broth were not there. Perhaps they fare better with less complex foods like vermicelli with eggrolls or grilled meat. This is the last time that I'm listening to Google Reviews that say this is authentic Viet food from a non-Viet person. I would just stick to eating the Chinese food in the area.

    A modern-ish restaurant in Chinatown - mostly wood decor. It has lots of seating so even if there's a line-up, it'll move fast. Service is fast and staff work very efficiently. I would say high seating turnover too. We just came for simple dinner tonight and ordered the basics - a bowl of their 150 Pho Tai and a plate of Bún thit nurö'ng. The 150 series is supposed to be "original taste with no MSG". After having pho everywhere, this may taste bland to most. It tasted like regular beef soup that's healthier without the loads of MSG. I left the resto not thirsty. The plate of Bun thit nong was good, loved the shiso leaf that made it so refreshing. Menu is interesting with lots of small plates but it'll be for next trip!

    10/10 so delicious and try it with the vinegar and green sauce! Small, quant reprieve from the busy streets around.

    We were in the China Town area on Saturday. The Pho noodle stand caught my eye when I walked by the restaurant. I could see the chef making Pho. It reminded me of the pho stands in Vietnam. I was tempted to dine in but there was a long queue outside of the restaurant. So it was a hard pass. Yesterday we were in the area again. My son wanted Pho. We decided to stop by to see if we could order take out. When we got there, a party of 4 was ahead of us. The lady working there told everyone to stay outside to wait. I told her we just wanted order take out so she let us in right away. We placed an order and stood at the corner since there was no waiting area. Luckily, the food came out pretty quickly (maybe 5-10 minutes). It took us about 20 minutes to get back to our place but the broth was still smoking hot. The broth was pretty tasty. I liked the Pho noodle texture a lot. It's similar to the noodles I grew up eating in Vietnam. Today, it was raining cats and dogs in London. We didn't feel like going out to eat. I thought of the steaming bowl of Pho noodles at Viet Food so we ordered through UberEat. I got Spicy Pho Chin Hue, Pho Chin and Pho Ga. I was little bit disappointed that they used the same Pho broth for all the Pho choices. Spicy Pho Chin Hue is basically Pho Chin with sautéed chili oil - it's definitely not Bun Bo Hue. I kinda knew from the description on the menu, but still hoped that it's not Pho broth lol. Overall, I would say it's very close to the authentic flavor I used to eat when I was little. I like Viet food more than any Pho places I had been to so far in some European countries.

    What an awesome Vietnamese restaurant in London Chinatown! Definitely recommended if you like SE Asian food. Can't go wrong if you're looking for flavorful food while in this town. Very reasonable. Will be back to explore more options at this place. Two thumbs up!

    Delicious Vietnamese food with an expansive selection in a rustic southeastern Asian setting. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommended if you're visiting Chinatown.

    Pho Tai and Fresh Rolls (prawn)
    Bob S.

    The service was very good, food - mediocre. The fresh rolls sauce was very sweet (essentially just Hoisin sauce with a touch of crushed peanuts and a housemade hot sauce). The PhoTai had a good amount of flavor but again a little on the sweet side without much to add sour and salty. Even the fish sauce tasted like there was sugar added to it.

    Opened just a few weeks ago, this little Vietnamese take-away place enriches the Charlotte-Street…read morearea in Fitzrovia with yet another culinary adventure. I actually discovered by accident that the "famous" Banh Mi Bay" from Holborn had set up shop in this area as well. To be more precise, I'd come to the area to try out the new Okonomyaki place just around the corner (called Yaki). Anyway, I'd made my typical mental bookmark and I came back the following week to grab some lunch from here. I walked in and I was greeted super-friendly by the staff behind the counter. They invited me to a small conversation about Vietnamese food and I admitted that I'd lived in San Francisco for a long time and that my expectation would be quite high ;-) Undeterred by my food-snobbishnes, the nice guy behind the counter went ahead and recommended some special items from the menu. I ended up choosing their special Vietnames sandwich special and although I was tempted to go for the healthy option by choosing brown bread, I went for their home-made Vietnamese baguette, which is made from rice flour. The sandwich was good, although I would've personally liked to have it a little spicier. At the other Vietnamese sandwich places in the city (Cà Phê, for example), they usually ask to add extra sauce or peppers...I missed this here. (Although I assume that if I had asked for it, they would've been very accommodating.) What I really liked best here was the vibe - all the staff was super-friendly and when I asked a random question about Vietnamese cuisine, one of the cooks overheard my question and came to the front and answered it. (I wanted to know, what a typical Vietnamese breakfast consists of and he told me - to my surprise - that people would eat Pho for breakfast! Who would've thought...)

House of Ho just off Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia does what it calls modern Vietnamese food. I walked past a few times before and never realised that it has different dining rooms on different floors. When I walked in, I was taken to the first floor and got a nice table in the middle of the room. The room is beautifully decorated. With the large vintage mirrors in combination with the light green benches and chairs, the place looks kind of fancy, while not overwhelmingly so. On my floor there was also a second room with walls of wine bottles, it looked even more stunning and interesting to me. I started my dinner with wine. I immediately noticed the nice design of the wine glasses. It did not take me too long to make a decision, it had to be a glass of the Spanish 'Casal Caeiro' Albariño from the Rías Baixas region. It was a very enjoyable, young wine with strong mineral notes. Wines like this is why I became a fan of Albariño. Staff at House of Ho were very friendly and knew something about the food and drinks. Throughout the evening, my waiter gave me great recommendations and I mostly went with his suggestions. My first course was 'Black Angus Fillet La Lot wrapped in Betel Leaves, homemade Peanut Sauce'. I thought it was a clever, tiny dish. The Betel leaves were more than just decoration, they added flavour to the beef strips. And although I am not always a big fan of peanut sauce, this incarnation surprised me. I could see and taste actual peanuts which added an interesting crispy texture. The sauce was kind of fruity and sweet with the right level of heat, yet not too spicy for my palate. It was a great start and really very tasty, though a bit small. When my starter came, I realised once again that I should probably better learn to eat with sticks. I did not even try this time and simply explained that I am too stupid, then I got cutlery, which made my life much easier. For the main, I followed my waiter's recommendation and went for the Lemongrass Free Range Chicken and Chicken Scratchings together with some Ho Special Rice on the side. After the waiter told me what was so special about the rice, I asked him if they could leave out the prawns. It is like an egg fried rice with some crispy pork, I think, mixed in. The bowl of rice was very good and the pieces of meat added a bit of crunch. Now to the chicken. On the menu, it was listed under "Signature Sharing", I asked my waiter and he confirmed that it is also good as a main dish for one person. And he was right, it's not a massive portion. The chicken was crispy and delicious. I enjoyed the perfect balance between beautiful flavours and a certain spiciness. I could clearly taste the lemongrass throughout every bite and the chicken crackling added more texture to the dish. Finally, I was ready for dessert. When ordering the 'Warm Green Tea Fondant, Passion Fruit with Vanilla ice cream', I was not entirely sure about what I would get. I remember once having a horrible green tea ice cream at some restaurant, so I was a bit wary. Luckily, this time the green tea dessert turned out to be a delightful white chocolate and green tea fondant with a liquid centre. I only would have prefered more passion fruit on the plate or maybe passion fruit ice cream instead of vanilla. I really enjoyed all three courses and was more than happy with my wine. House of Ho is a friendly, modern restaurant where the plates do not only look good, but also taste delicious.

Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down, we were quite cold because of the door being opened frequently and the lack of heating. We ordered the crispy spring rolls to share, and my friend ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and I got the spicy tofu noodle soup (pho). The spring rolls came quickly and upon taking a bite, I noticed what I thought was pork or chicken inside, so as a pescatarian/doesn't eat meat I spit it out and we flagged down the server. The staff member said they were seafood spring rolls, and when we asked if there was pork, beef or chicken, he didn't know. We asked him to check with the chef, and he was gone for 5 minutes. He returned and said it was seafood only in the spring rolls, which is okay for my diet, so I continued eating the spring rolls, although was still a bit hesitant. They had a nice crunch and were good tasting, but I didn't like the mustard dipping sauce. My friend and I both liked our spicy noodle soup/pho (hers with beef, mine with tofu), although we weren't too impressed. We expected more spice, and I would have liked more vegetables or toppings in mine. The service was decent but not amazing, and the restaurant was very cold in the London winter time. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday evening but had lots of space and there never was a wait. I saw big parties of people there, couples, individuals out solo, and more, a big mix. My total was £19 for splitting the spring rolls and my tofu soup and tap water, which is okay for London (but still expensive!). The mix up with the spring rolls is still looming in my mind...

    You are not just paying for small food here; you are paying to be dismissed and lectured by the…read morestaff. They are far more interested in defending their illogical pricing than providing decent food or service. This restaurant should be avoided. The Problem: Price vs. Plate This spot has a huge line, but don't be fooled--it's not worth the wait or the price. I paid £15 for the spicy noodles, and the portion that arrived was laughably small. It felt like an appetizer, not a main course, and the flavor was bland and unauthentic. This is a severe failure of value for money in a competitive London market. The Owner's Unacceptable Attitude When I gave feedback about the poor value on the bill, the owner immediately got defensive, and the conversation became completely unprofessional: 1. Hiding Behind Culture: They tried to excuse the size by claiming it's an "authentic Vietnamese breakfast portion," and that servings are naturally smaller than in the US. I pointed out that I was here for dinner, paying £15. 2. The Condescending Giggle: When I mentioned where I'd had a properly sized, authentic bowl before, the owner and their companion actually giggled at me. The companion then snapped the quote: "Americans have large portions everywhere." The problem is the staff's unacceptable defensive attitude toward a legitimate customer complaint. They use cultural excuses to mask illogical pricing. Do not waste your money here.
