We're from Singapore and on our last night in Edinburgh, we were craving for hot soup as it was rainy and cold all day. Immediately made a beeline for Pho and upon arrival, were whisked to our table and asked if we had any food allergies before leaving us to order. We got the summer rolls, a de rigeur Viet item for us and my partner had the mix beef combo pho and I had the Pho House. Food arrived shortly and to be honest, everything was delicious esp the summer rolls, except we had an issue with the sliced steak which was extremely tough. We weren't the only table and before we said anything, Danielle came over to ask and immediately got the manager Vido to attend to us. Vido was so empathetic and laser focused on solving the issue, offering to switch out the pho for both of us. No excuses, just a genuine apology and full on top notch service to ensure we were taken care of. We settled for a bowl of brisket instead of a full change and he was on it instantly. Later, Danielle came by to check on us again and I also observed that Vido was on the phone and later had a quick word with the kitchen staff. Seemed like he was ensuring that the issue of the steak was resolved. I really have to highly commend them both. Never experienced such service where we felt really prioritized as customers. No patronizing, no excuses, just authentic and genuine service from the heart. It elevated the meal tremendously! We came looking for soup to warm us up but had our hearts warmed too! Thank you so much! P.s. sorry for the bad pics! But the food...

I’m not Vietnamese, so take with the grain of salt. I’ve tried pho from many different Vietnamese restaurants so I hope I can write this review from somewhat of a knowing perspective..

-I asked for no cilantro, and the server looked really confused, as if they had never heard of cilantro before! This was puzzling to me. I figured that if they didn’t know what cilantro was, it wouldn’t be in there. -The noodles were flat. I went in knowing this, but it took away from the experience, especially compounded with everything else… -Not enough noodles :( -The meatballs???? They tasted like meatballs you eat with spaghetti at an Italian place. In all the places I’ve had pho (Korea, Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis), this was by far the weirdest. I couldn’t have more than half a bite. -The broth came out just warm enough. Usually, the broth comes out scorching… it got cold, way too fast. -This is just a personal thing, and I know this dish is probably catered to meet the needs of people in Edinburgh, but I really, really wish the typical meat cuts in combo pho were present. No tripe? :( -Portion was pretty small, and nothing compared to traditional Vietnamese restaurant portions.

The only thing going for the pho was the broth. Honestly was incredibly disappointed by this visit, and regretted not eating at the Chinese BBQ nearby as we walked back. I couldn’t...
