Eat Pho Bournemouth in Bournemouth

They tried to overcharge me on top of the price a “special Tax” out of nowhere. I refused to pay the extra tax, and asked to get charged the amount shown on the Menu. Not going back after they tried to scam me.

I had a take away. The service was one of the best I have ever had in a restaurant. The food was very fresh and tasted great. Definitely would go again.

Seems to have gone downhill . We have been previously and it was very nice . Today not so , the chicken pho had hardly any chicken and what was there was dark thigh meat . Previously you got breast meat . The crispy potato starter is comply wedges with some chilli. The spring rolls are not as nice and in general it’s not as good as it once was

Have been before and it was always great but understand it’s now under new management. I didn’t eat my pho the chicken was stingy and unappetising, before it was slices of chicken breast. The spring rolls came without sauce, they were ok. I don’t often leave food but I came away hungry.

Used to be really good. The restaurant was sold at the end of 2023 and this was our first time there with the new owners. We cannot say anything good about the place. The summer rolls were a third of the size of the previous owners , they came out and a minute later our mains arrived. They do not use king prawns, just the tiny pink prawns you normally find in the freezer aisles. In a seafood pho, there were only 2 tiny prawns 2 small mussels and 2 slivers of squid. The noodles and flavour enhanced soup is cheap so they should be more generous with the seafood. Lastly, we ordered refillable drinks but with no check backs, we were not able to get them refilled. We left after the mains and went to a different restaurant. We have never been so disappointed.

Excellent food at eat pho in Bournemouth as always and fabulous service from ivy would reccomend to anyone who wants to try this new location 10/10

Third visit here & sadly not the best and gone down hill service wise.. It was a very quiet evening and service was incredibly slow for some unknown reason. Were not asked for drinks orders for a very long time. Mains came out just as we were eating starters. When one of us asked for tap water we were told they no longer do this. I’m sure by law as a licensed restaurant you are required to not deny a patron drinking water so this really baffled me. Maybe I’m wrong but it seemed a very silly thing to do. Unlikely to return.

Now my favourite to have delivered. I have vermicelli noodles or a curry dish. Spring rolls either crispy or summer rolls. Both very good.

The starter was homemade meat spring rolls, not bought in, and very tasty. Mains were equally as good, with me being shown what I needed to do with the sauce accompaniment. Would recommend

Not as good as we hoped, the flavours just weren't there, the pho was too watery, mabe we just went on the wrong day?

We went for a meal, 11 of us, and all really enjoyed the meal with Bao, who was serving us giving excellent service. He was very friendly, happy and made us all feel very comfortable. We all particularly liked our starters!

Came in a Saturday lunch for mums birthday. I have been to Vietnam 5 times in holiday and it’s one of my favourite cuisines. I was a bit disappointed here. Food was freshly cooked but not totally authentic. Fresh summer rolls were the best dish but the dipping sauce was not the fish sauce/ chilli dipping sauce that would be typical. - it was a chili lime sauce that seemed to be ubiquitous here , also served with my Bun cha ( pork lemon grass noodles), which is not the typical sauce with this dish. The beef pho looked promising but mum thought the soup was instant. The beef was more like a sliced beef brisket. The spring rolls were tasteless. Sorry won’t be back

Online the menu clearly states .. with tender medium-rare beef slices and slow-cooked beef, this is also what the picture on-line shows plus lots of onions. Mine had neither the rare beef or onion, with 6 slices of beef, overall taste was weak oxo with overpowering star anise. The starter summer rolls tasted of the dipping sauce, which was nice but the roll should have some flavour of it's own. Not asked how was my meal was during or at the end. Looks good but no substance, none of the bursting flavours and textures that was promised.

Pierina and other serving staff were amazing. So was the food. Staff took time to explain the dishes, what to expect and how to best eat the food. Mostly all gluten free which suited us. Wish we lived near as would come often. Good value, healthy and tasty. Thanks Sarah & Chris East Sussex

This is a gem of a place. My first time trying Vietnamese food and I loved it. Beautifully presented and flavours to die for. The staff were brilliant. Definitely recommend the Vietnamese coffee.

The pho was delicious, so much flavour! Best service we’ve had in Bournemouth, the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. We were served by Mai and she was incredibly warm and welcoming.

Absolutely delicious, so great and flavoursome. Kwame provided an excellent service and was very knowledgeable about to food. What a treat!

Both meals had a lack of meat. Rice meal tasteless and poor, rice lumpy and chewy, salad just cucumber tomato lettuce and carrot chopped in lumps with no dressing. Noodle meal ok but my partner was still hungry. We ended up going to subway straight after. Very disappointing.

Excellent food, waiter advised us very well having not been here before, we had chicken wings as recommended, chicken skewers, special Pho and mixed meat noodles, all was perfect and very filling, waiter all so bought out extras to put in my soup to spice it up, couldn’t have asked for better service, will definitely be going back.

OMG. This is the best pho I have ever tasted! The server was amazing, he gave us recommendations for good parings between the small dishes and the mains so that was had a range of tastes. I had the hot wings to start and they are like Vietnamese fried chicken, full of wonderful spices. The food comes out as and when it is cooked so that it is as hot and fresh as can be. My main was the vegan spicy pho. The broth was so rich and flavourful, and the meal featured this isn't chicken strips and lovely big chunks of tofu. My partner had the prawn summer rolls and duck pho and said they were out of this world. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic food and such great value. Easy and varied menu. Excellent staff had knowledge and helpful. Fresh and so many flavours.

We had a really great evening here. The service is spot on, polite, friendly and knowledgeable of everything on the menu. The food was delicious and the cost reasonable too. Real authentic Vietnamese food Would definitely recommend

Delicious food. Would definitely recommend. Great value and authentic menu from this family restaurant. Will be back!

Have visited Vietnam for a long holiday, so decided to try here with some fiends that had just come back from a holiday to Vietnam. Firstly when you walk in, from the decor to the tables & chairs it feels very authenticity Vietnamese. It is...

My wife & I had a super Valentines lunch here. Friendly staff, relaxing surroundings and wonder food. The price was excellent Alixe for money too.

This has become my favourite place for Asian cuisine locally. Great little Vietnamese restaurant near Bournemouth’s town centre. I had the spicy chicken wings which are the best I’ve tried. Noodle dishes look good. The prawn summer rolls, spring rolls and the crispy whitebait are...

Delicious, authentic, lip smakingly good! Will definitely be back again soon! Value for money and lovely atmosphere!

Our favourite restaurant and we’ve tried lots of Vietnamese restaurants on many continents. Now it’s a weekly date night for us. Such depth of flavour to the Pho yet also the delicate fresh herb flavours. Having tried most of them our favourite is the duck...

We had meals for our group of 10 on Friday 16th December. All was excellent except for when the bill came. Card only?! I did pay mine in cash and didn’t want any change, as apparently that might cause a problem. Just as I would...

Really enjoyed our meal there. Pho was great and the dessert was amazing, too. The staffs there are very friendly. We definitely enjoyed our meal there. Would definitely go back.

A small, friendly, unpretentious restaurant with an authentic Vietnamese feel. Chunky, fresh summer rolls and chicken skewers were a hit as starters. The main courses were enormous. The mixed meat fried rice was spicy and tasty and the curry was creamy. The staff were charming...

Visited on Sunday 09/10 mid afternoon, faultless from start to finish. Clean and presentable inside. Perfect service from the young lad. Food was absolutely 10/10, if this place was in central London it would be rammed 24/7. Can’t recommend enough if you are in the...

Wow! Bun Xao…. Aka noodle salad. So tasty and refreshing - I went back two nights in a row. The restaurant is plain and simple from the outside but has the best Asian food in Bournemouth - I should know, I tried a few restaurants!...

Lovely freshly cooked food. I really enjoyed the seafood with wok-fried noodles. The first time I had Vietnamese food and look forward to going back.

What a find! If Eat Pho were in Shoreditch you’d never get in the door. I think the most flavourful and fresh Vietnamese noodle and summer rolls I’ve ever had, and vegan to boot. The vegan meat is some sort of magic. Lovely people as...

The service is good. They are fast. I ordered a beef pho. The vermicelli are good but the soup is too peperry. But that’s good

The type of food that makes you feel warm all over- very obviously made with love and care. Massive portions for a great price. Everything tastes fresh, the broths are full of depth and so rich and the staff are really lovely. Proper Vietnamese soul...

We didn’t visit the Restraunt. We ordered a takeaway. Possibly the best takeaway food In Bournemouth. Full of fresh herbs and perfectly cooked. The flavours were amazing and we look forward to our next order. Also want to eat in the restaurant after our take...

We loved it. Went on a trip to Bournemouth for the day. The crispy chicken wings were lovely and juicy and moist with a crispy coating and full of flavour and spice, big portion we shared these to start. Mains were good portion size too...

Really nice Vietnamese restaurant, Ed, was our welcoming waiter, With my girlfriend we both choose the vegetarian options, to start we had the spring roll and to follow vegetarian noodles. Super tasty Generous home made food. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic little restaurant very clean cooked to order and very very good value the food was superb the staff also kind and helpful we live in Leicester but if ever in the area again will be back

Perhaps I was expecting too much having read all the reviews. Visited on a Saturday afternoon so was very quiet. Had a vegetable pho - which seemed to have what I think was plant-based meats in it. I would have been happy with tofu and...

The restaurant is a café style with Vietnamese customs. I had the curry ,prawn crackers spring rolls and chick skewers all the flavours were sensational and it was in good sized portions.

I visited for lunch on a Sunday, only one other table was occupied. I chose 'Summer Rolls' followed by roast duck with rice, served with Vietnamese gravy. The gravy was sweet, with plenty of flavour. Summer rolls are served cold (with a spicy dip), and...

Some of the best phô I’ve had in a long time. The broth is superbly done, and the duck was tender and delicious. The coconut fried rice was so good that I could’ve finished a whole bag of it, and the summer prawn rolls were...

Absolutely bang on every time. Very difficult to find authentic food in Bournemouth, let alone Vietnamese food, but this is a diamond in the rough. Very fairly priced also. I’ve eaten here since the place first opened and the owner is very sincere man serving...

After a last minute trip to Bournemouth for my husbands birthday, we were so happy to be able to get a booking in for his day. We came here in July after walking by and were so impressed 2 days later we returned. Then in...

This place is awful, be warned. The curry is bland, noodles disgusting and service is slow as a snail

We love it. Delicious, full of flavour. Vegan friendly! Family business with big heart for food. Very nice service:)

Eat Pho has character and a large menu with a lot of choices for meat eaters. Unfortunately as a vegan your options are quite limited. The restaurant is well spaced out and has a relaxed energy. Given the general vibe, I would feel very comfortable...

It was, is, and will always be my favourite eatery in Bournemouth! The food was exquisite. The vegetarian stir-fry tasted divine and so did the vegetarian summer rolls. The thirst-quenching Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk complemented the food perfectly. We walked out feeling absolutely...

Really delicious food. Nice staff, service was Quick. Restaurant clean, baby changing facility available in toilet. Good veggie options. We had a nice time

We visited with friends after reading the reviews on trip advisor. None of us had eaten Vietnamese before so were unsure of what to expect. We ordered 4 different starters and mains which we all sampled and can honestly say we all thought every one...

The food here is something else! It is so fresh and tasty! The owner is really friendly and the prices are modest! We truly enjoyed it Well done

I am used to Vietnamese food being a bit greasy and heavy but that is not Eat Pho. The food here is so tasty and wonderfully light, fresh and colourful. The textures also make the food so much fun to eat. I had the vegetarian...

Really impressed with this restaurant not sure what happened but they really upped their game great flavours great food great stuff thank you so much

The best vegan soup we have ever tasted. The meat alternatives are super tasty and the ingredients are fresh. Good service too! Will definitely come back!

One of the best new kind of vietnamese food i have ever tasted. I prefer you to try this restaurant in bournemouth if you visit.

We were thoroughly looking forward to a tasty Vietnamese meal however this restaurant really disappointed us. Firstly there was no social distancing between tables. Secondly the food was very bland which is the opposite to what it should taste like and thirdly service was very...

A great little restaurant that you could easily walk past but it well worth popping in. Very courtesy staff, and really enjoyable food - we had two of the soupy Pho dishes and a fried rice dish. Good quality ingredients that were well cooked to...

We had a lovely meal. Service was attentive, nice and friendly. An authentic experience in the heart of Bournemouth.

Absolutely amazing! We stumble on it by accident (weekend stay at Bournemouth). So lucky! We ordered prawn spring rolls (to die for!), seafood noodles, and duck with rice. It’s was so so good that the next evening we went there again. We went for prawn...

Average food and the fish was very dodgy. It tasted like it had been slopping about in the bottom of an illegally fishing boat. Disgusting on every level.

Caught illegally catching undersized fish in Poole harbour. I hope they are fine them to the point of bankruptcy

Been caught illegally fishing Poole harbour catching undersized fish 🐟 in the dark of the night 🤬🤬not very good and should be named and shamed !!!

There are videos online of the owners illegally fishing at 4am at Poole harbour.. using nets that catch baby bass that should be put back in the sea. Imagine where they source their meat

Didn't enjoy. No taste very bland and the chicken seemed processed. Wouldn't come back again. Other dinners complaining

Illegal fishing out of Poole harbour catching undersized fish and selling them for top dollar in your restaurant outrageous how many people have you conned by your behaviour the proof is out there for all to see on the internet

Don't try and lie saying you made a mistake. You went out at night knowing that you wouldn't be spotted. You caught and sold illegal fish in your restaurant. Those fish were undersize fish living in the safety of the harbour nursery. Disgusting.

Horrible food. The bass looked like it was undersized when it arrived on someones plate. Plenty of better places in the area.

Nice and fresh food. Especially the fish. Love Pho, reminds me of the 3 months I spent travelling Vietnam 😊

Great flavours and variety would go back! Friendly staff and good service. Loved the rice paper prawn rolls

This place is a little gem. We had a fresh and tasty late lunch with friendly service. Rice paper summer rolls were fresh and light, spring rolls were crispy and flavourful and both came with yummy dipping sauces. The pho broths were very comforting and...

This is amazing🇻🇳.The food was great. It looked great. It smelt great. It just was great! I rate this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Basic inside but food is amazing. Has a good selection of dishes all served nice and hot. A reasonable selection of beers.

The food and service were perfect. Everything was really tasty and freshly made. Can't wait to go again.

Had a fantastic meal here. Believe the reviews this place is well worth a visit and meals are reasonable and very filling.

It’s so great food so tasty So nice to us Very nice place I love it here 10/10 would come again I think that’s 100 characters???

We visited here as we’d seen the reviews and wanted to try an independent restaurant. The staff are excellent and very kind. At the time of visiting I was pregnant and the waiter advised that a dish containing beef would be cooked ‘well done’ with out being asked. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Give them a try

Went there with the family, great food and good service. The prawn and rice paper roll was amazing, coconut and lychee juice was as good . overall great food hadn’t had a good pho in a long time and this one was at its very best . Thank you will be coming back..

Very casual setting and service yet we paid 30 pounds for two plain tasting bowls of Pho and drinks. Probably explains why there were only two tables of customers at dinner time!

I visited Pho today with my boyfriend. Really nice customer service and so delicious food. I had a chance talk to chef which is the owner of this place. Amazing and positive energy! Thank you! See I next time!

Soy un entusiasta visitante y tenía esto en mi lista de lugares para almorzar. Era un lunes tranquilo después de la 1 pm y solo había una mesa con gente. Me senté junto a una chica agradable que rápidamente me mostró una mesa y me trajo un menú. Decidí pedir del menú especial de almuerzo de lunes a viernes que vi publicado en la puerta. Pensé que era un precio justo a las 6. 95 y la comida vino con una bebida. Pedí el tazón de fideos de pollo con hierba de limón y un agua quieta. Vino rápido y estaba bastante sabroso ya que el pollo tenía especias secas y le agregué la salsa que venía con él.

I wouldn’t consider this a dinner destination by any means but it was perfect for something different for lunch. Ingredients were all fresh. The non-broth pho was full of veggies and both of our guests at our table enjoyed them. I had the #10 speciality and the broth was fantastic. I was disappointed there weren’t more beef balls.

Just came back from Eat Pho for a work lunch and the place was fantastic. The service was great and the food all came out fresh and it tasted great.

These restaurant owners illegally gill net under sized bass in poole /studland bay. These people are illegally selling fish in their restaurant and these people should be reported to the police immediately.

This place is spotless and the service is very good. Unfortunately let down by the food in my opinion. Don't get me wrong - the ingredients are fresh, well-cooked and nicely presented, it's just that all the dishes we had were just a little bland and tasteless which is a real shame. Maybe they're catering for British tastes? We lived in SE Asia for 2 years and expected the food to be bursting with flavour like it does there, but unfortunately this wasn't the case.

Great food, just like in Vietnam only this place does vegan a swell which makes it even better. The vegan meals are amazing.

First time to Eat Pho - very glad indeed we tried it.

Went for a family dinner, we all like Vietnamese food. Firstly, it took 20 minutes to bring water to the table, then another 10 for the starters to arrive. Very poor front of house service.

Absolutely fabulous food we will return with friends and family. Large amounts of food the tastiest food ever LOVED IT

Very friendly place, where the waitress explained all the various options and ensured we ordered well. The food arrived promptly, and the waiter then explained how the dishes went together. Every mouthful was delicious and would happily go there again.

Fuimos a almorzar después de haber visto otras reseñas de Trip Advisor, no habíamos comido vietnamita antes, pero si te gusta la comida estilo Wagamama, disfrutarás de esto. La amable camarera hizo algunas recomendaciones y probamos los rollos de langostinos de verano que venían con un delicioso aderezo de maní que era más sabroso que el satay, tenía una nota agria que cortaba la dulzura. Luego probamos una sopa con fideos y un plato de ensalada de fideos. Ambos eran deliciosos y enormes porciones. El plato vegetariano tenía sustitutos de carne interesantes en los que no había visto antes y que proporcionaban texturas interesantes. También probamos el jugo de lycee, que es muy dulce y tiene varios ingredientes en el fondo del vaso para comer con una cuchara al final, ¡así que básicamente se sirve como postre! Lamentablemente, no somos locales; sin embargo, si fuéramos, definitivamente seríamos clientes habituales.

Really good little eatery in Christchurch Road with a wide menu. Opted for the Phở đặc biệt, delicious broth, loads of meat and generous portion side. Bottled beers were +£4. A pho and a Saigon Beer came in at just under £15. Thoroughly recommend.

This was the most authentic, tasty food I've had in a long long time. Just the right amount of spice, nothing overpowering just be prepared for intense flavours. Will definitely be back x

Chose this really cheap restaurant to try out

Tastes exactly as if I was back in Vietnam. I got to practice my poor vietnamese with the lovely staff. The food was great and the service was fast. Lovely atmosphere, I would recommend this place for a lovely meal out and authentic vietnamese food.

Tastes exactly like it does in Hanoi. I've been here a few times and always been impressed. I make sure I go back every time I'm down in Bournemouth Lovely staff, fast service, great price. Absolute must go.
