Pho in Edinburgh, City of

We had a great night at Pho at the weekend, 4 adults and young child. The food was fantastic and Oga was great and really accommodating on food requests for the young child with us. Second time being to Pho and will definitely go again, staff are always so friendly and food really tasty.

Pho Vietnamese provides a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to dine. If you're a fan of noodle soups like ramen, you'll likely find their pho incredibly satisfying, with its rich and aromatic broth and fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each bowl is a flavorful and comforting experience. While the prices are a bit higher than some other options, the overall quality of the food and the enjoyable ambiance make it a worthwhile visit. It's a solid 4-star choice for a tasty and authentic Vietnamese meal.

Maria was amazing, wonderful service!! Super patient and friendly, 5 BIG gold stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had Josh serve us today all for and service was fab we will be back

Great food and wonderful service. Our server was Molly and she was very friendly and helpful!

Ordered online. There is a piece of random paper in my salad. I had tried to contact customer service for refund. NO REPLY from anybody !! I was a loyal customer and order take away almost every week. I WON'T ORDER PHO anymore!

Very good service and food was excellent. Great.

Vic our server was absolutely lovely and so energetic! It was so easy for me to ask for certain things to be changed and he didn’t make me feel embarrassed to ask. Great food aswell and specially the veggie spring rolls :)

Aileen was so lovely and good was fab

Excellent attention from Hanu, he made a lot of effort to understand our Spanish and decipher what we wanted to eat. Plus the food is spectacular! A 10!!!

First time trying Vietnamese food and I was not disappointed! For starters I ordered the crispy veggie spring rolls with the peanut sauce and both me and my friend really enjoyed this! I then ordered the Spicy Green House Special Pho which came with a plate of herbs which you could add to your own taste. All the ingredients were fresh tasting and worked really well together! The service was a little on the slow side with a 10 minute waiting time to get seated and it took a while to catch someone’s attention to ask for the bill but all in all I really enjoyed my experience here!

Olga and Samuel were brilliant and very hospitable! They created a very positive environment and ensured me and my friends who were visiting felt comfortable. It was great to chat with them and share our love for the food. Thank you.

The food was nice and the servings were fairly large. Tried out some assorted desserts too and they were really nice!

Olga is a very kind waitress...🙂🐾

The staff had very good customer service, treated us extremely well especially Yiling.

just went to this restaurant for lunch and had a really nice time the server a young lady unfortunately i did not catch her name she was really nice and friendly the food was fantastic i can say we will defiantly come back

We went into “The Real Greek” opposite “Pho”. After 15 mins we gave up on the slow service and found “Pho”. What a revelation. Pete the waiter was fantastic. He guided us on a new genre of food (to us). Was friendly and attentive. Possibly the best meal out in a while. I’d certainly go back again.

Amazing food, very good and helpfull waiter Thaw. Thank you very much.

It was a lovely experience and Maria is an excellent waitress very helpful :) thank you

The food here is absolutely excellent, extremely friendly Staff, especially Josh who provided an excellent experience.

Josh our waiter was incredibly helpful. Food was nice. Would come back again.

Had an amazing experience at pho. Was served by the wonderful Carolina

I had a great dinner with my friend, the service was great! Thank you so much Pete for looking after us tonight :)

Carolina made the experience truly one to remember. What a brilliant waitress

Pete was the best! Love the wok fried noodles

I really enjoyed the meal. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is very nice, and service is perfect, especially we had a very lovely guy who is Mr.Beet that was very friendly and helpful, and he was so gentle and decent.

Came in to a lovely atmosphere, staff were friendly and the food was great. Came out quickly and came back to check in. Served by Molly and she was lovely. Overall a great experience will be back!!!

Amazing food, and great service Pete!!!

Pete was an awesome server / waiter. Thank you!

Excellent Vietnamese food. When we ordered it, it came pretty fast. It's a little expensive but delicious.

Very friendly place. Great food! And extremely good for gluten free folk.

Cerys was a joy to behold. I’ve never experienced customer service, nay human connection, like this. 10/10

Viktoria was a good and attentive server, food was delicious. Coffee was very tasty!

Great food and very friendly helpful waitress who entertained the kids - thank you Hana :)

One of the best pho I ever had, a must visit. The coconut water with pineapple is worth it as well. If you visit Edinburgh put this on your list!

Well deep fried sugary food disguised as a healthy option, full of salt and everything you shouldn’t be eating really. But that’s not the issue as you could say this about all of these chains. The issue is this branch and how they are running it, with our child getting increasingly impatient I had to walk out after waiting for food for over 1 hour and 20 minutes. When I asked the waitress to go check the time when the order was placed she got all worked up. Terrible experience, many other places do cheap sugary noodles atleast they don’t take 1 hour and 20 minutes!

5 star service and food every time - Pete was a great server as was the rest of the team today! Thank you for a great dinner, best Pho branch in the uk

I had the beef brisket Pho and it is so good highly recommended.One of the tastiest pho I ever had.

I recently visited Pho, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with attentive staff who made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The menu offered a fantastic variety of authentic Chinese dishes, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Pete was amazing too

The atmosphere was lovely, it wasn’t too busy when we were there and the servers were very friendly and helpful. The vegetarian chicken noodles and the chicken noodle soup were excellent. Also would highly recommend the homemade lemonades. Definitely worth a visit!

amazing service, pete is fantastic and deserves the wine

Nice food and service from our server Pete.

I have had such a lovely evening, enjoying the wonderful food and atmosphere. I went with some dear pals and we had such a grand time, no doubt thanks to Pete. He is such a positive and helpful server! He is a real asset to Pho!

Had an amazing dinning experience with our server Pete.

Wonderful experience as always.Strongly recommended. Authentic food. Lovely music. Orelia, the Manager, was absolutely fantastic. Our favourite place to eat in Edinburgh!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Pho in Edinburgh St James’ Square! The reception was phenomenal, and everything we ordered was delicious! The manage Aurelia was so lovely and welcoming she really took time to explain Vietnamese culture and make our experience the absolute best! Highly recommend! The desserts were amazing too!

Hana was great! She recommended the best food. She was so nice and friendly! We’ll visit here soon!

A brilliant place for fab food and great service. Molly looked after us really well and was brilliant with recommending dishes and drinks - thank you!

A firm favourite whenever I’m in town. Molly gives the best cocktail recommendations.

Hey thanks again for always having an awesome experience molly was amazing and such amazing vibes food was as always super tasty cheers folks!

LOVE this place! The pho is the absolute best!!!! Service always great (thanks to Molly today! :-)). Great atmosphere and music today too.

Never disappoints. Great food, service and atmosphere. 5 out of 5.

We tried the summer rolls with chicken and prawn as a starter and the pho noodle soups. Everything was super good and the service was nothing but awesome! Great place! Highlly recommend it. Kinds regards from Norway 😁🙏

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Edinburgh! Authentic, good service and great environment

Molly was a wonderful server!!! Really appreciate the fast food arrival and her kindness.

Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend. Molly, our waitress at the Edinburgh restaurant was very friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely birthday meal at Pho as always! The service was excellent from Molly. Thanks again!

Chicken wings are so salty, unbelievable!

Delicious food and great service from Molly and the rest of the staff. Will definitely be back!

Great service and good spicy food.

Really disappointed – definitely the worst experience I’ve had in Edinburgh. Waited ages and the food just wasn’t as good as other Pho places I’ve been to in London

Food was lovely, almost everything was gluten free. Our server Molly was so kind and helpful :)

Amazing food, amazing service - Molly was lovely and very knowledgable.

Amazing food. Ciaran made our drinks and they were top notch. Spicy Lychee Margarita was incredible.

Amazing service today from Aura!! Food was delicious too, will be back!

Had a great time at Pho at St James, the food was excellent. Ordered the Pork Crispy spring rolls for starter which were delicious. For main had the Beef Brisket Pho normally not a fan of Pho but this was brilliant, all the food came swiftly. Our server was Molly, she was really kind and helpful in recommending the menu, as well as explaining how to eat anything we didn’t quite understand immediately. Throughly enjoyable experience.

Molly was a great server with good suggestions on what to do on rainy days in Edinburgh.

I had the green papaya salad with chicken served to me by our lovely young server Molly. The salad was absolutely delicious and can only compliment the chef and our server. Would definitely recommend to someone looking for something different in the City of Edinburgh!

Shoutout to our waiter Pete. Absolute stallion 10/10

Ordered the crispy spring rolls and beef brisket soup which were both excellent i have to say. Molly was full of enthusiasm and provided excellent service. Overall was a very pleasant dining experience

Everything was so delicious and the staff especially Maria were super nice to us.

Best place! Especially the waitress Maria enhanced our experience in this restaurant! Thank you!

Excellent service from Carolina Very knowledgeable

waitress carolina was very helpful

As a Vietnamese, I hardly appreciate the food. I have been here several times just because it's close to my office and convenient for shopping in Edinburgh. Pho is below average -- you can easily find things like that in poor-quality restaurants in Vietnam. Last time (and I believe the last), I so missed "bún bò Huế" that I decided to give this place another chance. I ordered "hot & spicy beef brisket", meaning "bún bò Huế" -- according to their menu. This is the worst I have ever tried. I couldn't even guess what I was having. So, if you really want to have a real Vietnamese meal, don't come here. If you want to have something where you care only about the name, you can consider it.

Izabella and the team are fantastic, food top quality.

I have been here several times with my partner as the food is superb. Great atmosphere and good staff. The only thing that let's it down slightly is the wait for a drink. Our past 2 visits our food arrived before our first round of drinks. If the bar staff were to work half as fast as the kitchen, there would be no stopping this place

Really delicious food and great service from Molly, particularly for our large group. Definitely recommended!

Molly was fantastic, gave some great guidance on menu recommendations and lovely to chat to as well!

Food was amazing - and Lilly super friendly and welcoming. Thank you - will certainly come back :)

I've reviewed a lot of Pho restaurants in the US and It ranks up there with what I expect with good pho. The broth was temperature hot and very flavorful, I like the wider pho noodles and it comes with lime, slices of pepper, bean sprouts, basil and cilantro. It was a nice surprise that it also came with mint leaves. They slightly over cooked the beef brisket but I could live with that. I also enjoyed the shrimp spring rolls. The service was also excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely go back.

Delicious honest food and friendly waiters (Cieran & Co). Try the coconut or honey-ginger ice cream!

Hannah was amazing, really helpful with recommendations and had a great energy.

I waited about an hour for the food to come out, but I wish it had been tasty.

Obsessed with the curry noodle pho

My son and I were there for lunch and we ordered 2 dishes. My son was served and I just never got mine. And then they wanted to charge us for it lol no apologies and she asked for tip? Never again. There was way too much staff who simply didn't have a clue. Horrible experience. I do not recommend.

Food was OK, one of the servers (guy with dark hair and a beard) was super friendly, polite and nice, the other two made me really uncomfortable - waitress took my drink to another table then went away. After a couple of minutes she came back and got the drink from the other table and a male staff member told her it was my drink, so she just gave me it. This is really bad food hygiene, I wasn't comfortable and said well did the other person touch it and the two staff stood over me and said "she didn't touch it" in front of everyone like I was making a fuss. More training needed. Same waitress stopped and looked at me waiting to be checked in without acknowledging me then went to take an order. I won't rush back.

The service is way below standard. They don’t even take your plate away before the bill. Didn’t even offer desert.

Highly recommend!!. It was exceptional and the Oga service was superb!!!.

Myself and my husband and son had a wonderful time at Pho's. The food was amazing and the service was first class. We visited the restaurant last Thursday for lunch and would recommend this wonderful place without hestiation. We would also like to thank your fantastic waiter Pete who took the time to chat with us and helped to make our afternoon so enjoyable. Thank you Pete! Sharon, Bryan and Jamie 😊😊😊

We were lucky enough to get a table in this amazing place. Staff were friendly and efficient . The food was lovely and the vegan options were nice.

Staff were friendly, place was busy. Food is really good, but the split payment was confusing and they didn’t take cash

Food always hits, sooo good. Cieran, Pete and Amukta were great. :)

Food was yummy, service was great, shout out to Cieran, Pete and Amukta, they were wonderful! Will be back!

Stupendous! First experience with Pho. I took the 3 mushroom with veg broth. Average prices for Edinburgh. Attentive and friendly staff. Quick service. Advised

Stupendo! Prima esperienza con il Pho. Preso il 3 mushroom con veg broth. Prezzi nella media di edimburgo. Personale attento e cordiale. Rapido servizio. Consigliato

The food, drinks and dessert was all amazing! The service was also super nice by Yiling & other staff. Really glad I stopped by tonight:)

From manager to staffs service is terrible. It’s seem manager is the Asian women very snobby. Attitude of manager and staff like they in period. Food in average, the worst in almost the sites which I have tried in the UK. Atmosphere not busy also not friendly. Never back here again. If can rate 0 star, defo will do it.

Dining at Pho was great experience. We enjoyed every entree. The summer rolls, rice entrees were absolutely delish. Charlie provided great service.

Aileen is lovely and couldn’t have been more attentive. She looked after my friend and myself today. We ate the most delicious food and had to order more and even that was not enough. We will be back.
