Recently when I was in Helsinki, Finland, during one of the cold evenings, felt like having a bowl of noodle soup. What else can be better than a bowl of Vietnamese Pho!!. After a quick google search and glancing the reviews, couple of colleagues and myself decided to try the Pho Nokis Vietnamese street food Restaurant located right across from FinnKino( Finnish museum and Theatre I guess!) in the Kamppi shopping center 2nd floor. There is a train station located in this shopping center as well. Now for the restaurant and food. The ambience was decent and surprisingly quiet for a shopping mall location. We ordered, the tofu vegetable roll with peanut sauce for starters. The rolls were fresh and delicious and the dipping sauce was not overpowering. For main course, we ordered a small bowl of Pho Ga( chicken noodle soup), Nokis Bun Cha )?dry dish with grilled pork, handmade spring rolls, rice vermicelli salad and fish sauce). The chicken soup was excellent and not too salty. The meat was tender and tasty. Overall a good dining experience of having a warm meal on a cold day in the heart of Helsinki. Will definitely recommend this restaurant and will go again during...

Will continue to party hard and coming here for my...
Read moreMy (new) favorite Vietnamese restaurant in town. 3 visits in a span of a month. Be it quality of food or service, they never disappoint. Consistency is important. At least to me.
I highly recommend their Beef Pho. The soup is clean and flavourful. Beef is tender. Noodle cooked just right. Overall, it was very well balanced. Then there is the Pork Bánh Mi. Bread is crispy, shredded pork juicy, and pickled veggies good enough to eat on its own. My only criticism is that the filling (I.e. shredded pork) is too little. As for drinks, I love their Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Sweetness is on point. 100% authentic.
So, all around...
