Pho 79 Vietnamese Restaurant in Glasgow City

You don’t come to Glasgow and expect to have some the best pho you’ve ever had but it turns out it is possible. Had the pho with chicken and it was delicious. Food was impecable and authentic. Highly recommend!

Had to go vege option no halal or kosher.

A good restaurant, the dishes are well served and the portions are generous. Very well located near the center. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. A very good time 👍.

After two months, I came to this restaurant again. It was still a familiar taste. It was still the friend who accompanied me three years ago. But when I remembered the last time I came here for dinner, my lover was already thousands of miles away. I vaguely remember every meal we had in this restaurant. I think I would come here again when I miss her!

This is the 3rd time I've been here, and it definitely won't be the last. Most delicious Pho, rich and earthy! Beautiful salads and summer rolls. Authentic, tasty and amazing service 😋

We are here tonight before 7pm. Despite a large table of 13, we were served quickly. Two serving staff in the floor. Our beef pho was as I like it - mint and coriander and bean sprouts in the side, and various condiments. The rice paper rolls were good too. Rice crackers provided free while we waited, and green tea afterwards, also for no cost. All for 21 GBP. Great value and warming on a cold wet August evening.

Great service, food, and beverage.

Wanted a veggie meal that would be easy on my stomach as I had been unwell. Veggie pho was exactly what I needed and the staff were very helpful, especially the waiter who was very keen to share about Vietnamese food. And I hope that waiter ignores rude customers like the one I saw telling him to "brush up on his Scottish." I thought he was doing a fine job!

1st time visiting. Food really tasty, staff helpful & friendly

Went for lunch today. The staff Harry was very attentive and knowledgeable about the foods, gave a very good introduction of the foods. A nice surprise for serving crackers while waiting for foods. Ordered the summer rolls and rare beef pho, the portions were big and both tasty, specially like the soup of pho. Will definitely come to try something else next.

Would prefer no distracting video screen but just music only please! Otherwise food lovely and service charming.

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine...Great taste...We have visited this restaurant many times almost every time we headed into city centre. Friendly staff and excellent service...

Amazing food and a great atmosphere with friendly service.

Was welcomed by the staff but soon the staff was on the phone constantly. Heard a big cough/sneeze in the kitchen. And I saw them not wearing masks. So who knows where all droplets gone into. Asked the staff about food. The staff sounded careless like 'i don't care' attitude. Meat in the pho was so chewy, stir fry with vegetables.... Hmm there were cucumber and pineapple and little bit of spring onion. Didn't expect that. Not worth a money.

Asked for vegetarian rolls. They tasted like meat. Were also served with fish sauce. I ate some, was disgusting. Made me feel sick as I don't eat fish. Never go there agsin

Delicious authentic Vietnamese food. Great smiley service and relaxed environment.

Food is good. Service is good. But there is one thing that I don’t understand. They charged for VAT in their food price but they are unable to provide their VAT number. Have asked the shop for the VAT number and they said they don’t have any. It does not make any sense that VAT can be charged without a valid VAT number.

Excellent surroundings with a very pleasant young lady in attendance. Menu is very uncomplicated and easy to find something you like. Small menu but excellent food ( less is more!) First time in PHO79 but will certainly be back 5🌟

My second time visiting this Vietnamese restaurant, I will definitely be back again! The food is really good and so fresh tasting. I would recommend the vegetarian spring rolls and vegetarian curry and rice. The rolls were unbelievably fresh tasting, and the curry was light, creamy and rich. Refreshing lemonade to cool down the warm, hot flavours.

The sign outside and the menu said "vegan dishes" above a section. When I tried to order from that section, the server said that my choice wasn't vegan and only offered me pho as a vegan option??? When pushed further, she also said the flat noodles could be made vegan. We didn't end up staying as I didn't want to choose something I might not want on the spot. No issues with the food or anything. Please update your menu and make it more clear!

Great food at a great price, one of my favourite places to eat

Brilliant, even if you just ordered all the spring rolls you wouldn't be disappointed. Fantastic food, excellent value for money, even vegetarian options. Would I dine here everyday and eat my way through the menu? YEP! - North, Central and Southern cuisine available. My only disappointment was no desserts available after feasting. Great, and patient, staff - we couldn't decide which dishes to start with.

Thank you for a delicious meal- we loved or Pho noodle dishes. The ingredients were so fresh and the portions very generous. Brilliant, friendly, attentive staff. The onky point I'd like to give a lower rating is - the music. A monotonous, synthetic, annoying "not " necessarily avant-garde was blearing out if the speakers.

Worth a visit, fresh clean food

Best pho in Glasgow, maybe even Scotland. Lovely staff and atmosphere ❤️

Went there at 11:45 and the staff told us that they open at 12:00 and we can’t stay there while waiting. However the Google map said they open at 11:00… Rude… So we went the other Vietnamese restaurant which open at 11:00 and take customers.

First time trying Vietnamese and pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Had squid starters which was very good, server Alexander even gave tips on how to best enjoy. For mains I had the Pho house special with the Seafood Spring Rolls. Both were fantastic and vibrant. For desert I tried to affogato which tied it all together. Great experience

Really good food at affordable prices, I take my siblings here often and I always feel refreshed when we leave.

Meghan is a delightful waitress. She and other staff were attentive and answered all of our questions.

Served by Lily and had a great meal - lychee margaritas were 10/10!

Vegans beware! The ‘vegetarian pho’ is not vegetarian I am so saddened by this. Please DO NOT claim your food is vegan. Friendly advice, please educate yourselves, there are people with beliefs and morals not to mention individuals who are allergic to certain animals. Remove all your vegetarian/vegan items if they are NOT 100% vegetarian or vegan. So disappointed guys. Please do better!

First time trying Vietnamese cuisine, and I was extremely impressed! I will definitely be back. The flavours in the dishes are so fresh and enjoyable. Portion sizes are big as well. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing, and I could spend a while in here sampling the full menu!

This was very disappointing, the pho broth was very bland. There was a section on the menu entitled ‘vegan’ and I asked the woman if the vegetarian Pho was definitely vegan and she said yes we put tofu in it but it is still the beef broth!!! I’m so glad I checked. I ended up with the curry which was just ok. The place was very quiet and didn’t look particularly clean, especially the toilets. The woman serving was lovely though, very friendly and the service was quick and efficient.

Fantastic experience, excellent menu, superb food and great staff. Highly recommend a visit

One of the best Pho’s I’ve ever had! The broth was full of flavour considering it was vegan- most places struggle with this and I’ve had some really bland soups in the past. Portion size was huge but it was well worth the food baby! Only criticism would be The Weeknd playing the entire time I dined lol

Visited this beautiful Vietnamese restaurant for lunch one day, I really was impressed with the food which was delicious and presented so well, I would highly recommend this place, the staff were really friendly and it’s in a good central location.

Really fresh tasty Vietnamese food.

Special vegan section of the menu !

I came especially for Pho but it was quite disappointing.

Fabulously authentic Vietnamese food

Apart from pretty simple decor and lack of functioning card machine (ask first) this place is a true gem when it comes to vietnamese cuisine. Quick and pleasant service and great food. Highly recommend.

Wide ranging menu on offer. I opted for the North Central hot and spicy noodle soup with well done beef and pork (Bo Chin Hue) It was served minus the pork. I raised this issue with the staff and a small bowl of pork was served for to add. The broth lacked flavour and was flat. It was not hot and spicy at all and was completely disappointing. My partner opted for the chicken Pho Ga noodle soup. The broth was utterly tasteless. Really disappointing. These soups both had fresh ingredients however it's the broth that is the star of the show. When it comes to soup, yes the ingredients were fresh but unless cooked down to make the base of the soup then when just added to a broth then as mentioned earlier it's the richness and depth of flavour in a broth which is the base. We also had the Rang Muoi squid. I must say that this was exceptional. Very tender squid and the batter was very crisp, thin and well seasoned. Staff are friendly. Restaurant atmosphere not for a romantic meal out, more of a quick stop and go.

There’s no novelty, or inauthenticity about this place. This is Vietnamese food, just like it tastes in Vietnam, at really good value for money. Having spent a month there earlier this year, Pho 79 brought me right back. Bia (Beer) Saigon and Hanoi, loads of pho, and great summer rolls make this place well worth visiting. Great value for money too - about £13 for pho, £3.20 for the cheapest spring rolls, and only £3.50 a beer.

No idea why this place isn't busier. It's such a great Vietnamese! Love it! The sort of place that makes you do a wee happy dance while you're eating. There isn't much in the way of atmosphere but it really doesn't matter when the food is this good.

Food was delicious but had a bit of a wait as the place wasn't that busy. Was worth the wait though. Do give it a try if you don't mind waiting.

Mistook it for the Pho chain. Sorry to say the food really wasn't up to the standard expected. Tomatoes in noodle broth? Really? Tasteless and a weird flavour which was meat like for a vegan dish. Couldn't eat it despite putting lashings of chilli sauce to mask the broth flavour.

Summer rolls were most certainly not fresh - both chargrilled chicken and pork-prawn - the texture of sections of the vermicelli were like plastic and obviously inedible. The Chicken Pho ordered resembled lukewarm dishwater with some fragments of chicken and noodles - completely devoid of any flavour or taste. When we politely raised the issues with the food were completely dismissed. Finally, we were only informed when requesting the bill that it was cash only. One to avoid

Very basic , very quiet , the food was not too bad , the steamed rolls with ham are not for those who don't like a squid style texture , the chicken curry was beautiful, my lips were burning , chicken , sweet potato and the good old generic potato , we had rice too shaped in a heart ...reasonable prices £32 for starters and main meals and juice for two .

Have to say the chicken and potato curry was fabulous lips burning that's how I know , the rice was heart shaped but was cooked well, was quiet well very quiet was early thought, the only odd food was the steamed spring roll , it was strange texturally and needed the dipping sauce which was amazing , full when I left

The best Vietnamese Ice Coffee outside of Vietnam! :) Food is delicious, staff are lovely as well! Eat, drink and be merry!

Awsome food for the price and support fast service just before my train, that was good

Quick service, delicious food. The atmosphere needs to improve. Some music in the background would be better The girl at the counter needs to be a bit more friendly and smile at customers

Massive portions and all delicious. Salt n pepper prawns are recommended

We had dinner here and ordered the shrimp appetizer, the curried beef and the pork roll. The food was very tasty, the ambiance simple and overall good value for money. Would return.

Very disappointed in the noodle soup cost 8 pounds something, basically for me it's just like a instant noodles with some chicken n veg n the bubble pandan not impressed, won't go back here . First impression last

The food was delicious and the staff was pleasant.

Delicious food and bubble team a hidden gem. Definitely recommend.

I recently dined at Pho 79, a Vietnamese cuisine restaurant, and my experience was average. While the food was decent, it didn't quite leave a lasting impression. The taste was satisfactory but didn't stand out in comparison to other Vietnamese eateries I've tried. It lacked that distinctive flavor that makes Vietnamese cuisine truly exceptional. However, the dishes were prepared well and presented nicely. The ambiance was comfortable and clean, providing a pleasant environment for dining. The service was efficient, with staff members being attentive and courteous throughout the meal. In summary, Pho 79 offers a decent Vietnamese dining experience. While the taste was just okay for me, others may have a different palate preference. It's worth a visit if you're in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine, but don't expect a culinary revelation.

Gorgeous vegan food and great, quick service on Monday lunchtime. The vegetable curry in particular was delicious, very creamy, aromatic and with just the right amount of a kick. Will be back!

Bin nicht begeistert, einfach passabel.

I didn’t love it the first time I came, perhaps I didn’t order the best I could’ve. Came last week though and it’s the nicest thing I’ve eaten in ages. Currently rushing to try and make another visit before it closes

Great place for a bowl of noodles.

Very tasty, quick service and very fresh ingredients, staff were lovely 👍

Excellent pork curry, would definitely come again!

Excellent food. Totally authentic.

Autentica comida vietnamita buenísima

Đồ ăn ngon.Mình là người Việt vào ăn.Rất nhiều lần nhân viên nữ thái độ với bọn mình

After two weeks of travelling and surviving on pub food, we really needed something different. Pho 79 was near our hotel and offered vegetarian options, and we decided at once to try it. We were not disappointed. There is a good vegetarian / vegan selection, the service was attentive, and the food delicious. It was exactly what we wanted and our tastebuds are singing. We'll likely return tomorrow night to try other choices on the menu.

Food was really bad. Pork was fired and shoe leather tough. Salad rolls were fried. Very disappointing

This was a fantastic find when exploring the city sights of Glasgow. This nicely decorated and clean restaurant has plenty of tables for large or small dining parties. The menu has a variety of options and everything we ordered was delicious. Our server was friendly and helpful. This place was so good we went there four times during our week stay.

Delicious food, very good portion size, and excellent value for money. Just outside the station, which is also a big plus. Would 100% recommend.

Food is meh. And they only accept cash.

Delicious and authentic food, I had salted chips, very crispy and full of flavour. Pho was outstanding, the meat was succulent and the broth was delicious and flavourful. Steamed pork roll had a good texture and was delicious aswell. Will be coming back.

Eat in when I visited. Location is good near station. Very good taste and the price is very cost effective! Better than I got in Manchester. The crispy shrimp is so good I can eat the shell. The summer roll is delicious with just right amount of fresh mint flavor. Rare beef noodle is also very good.

My favourite restaurant in Glasgow! I go every week and get their delicious Phó and veggie summer roll. Everything else I’ve seen other people eat looks and smells delicious. The staff are wonderful, I’ve never met nicer individuals. Please go try Pho 79 it’s basically attached to Glasgow central train station.

Love the Phó they serve. This is my second time here. Tried chicken Phó, seafood spring rolls and chicken fried rice, everything was yum. The quantity is huge and price is also ok

Es war sehr lecker und alles frisch. (Vegetarisch Pho).

Super, fresh Vietnamese cuisine. Attentive staff.

Great place! The pho was delicious and the staff was really friendly. Prices were reasonable. A great space for big groups too as it rather spacious and has some bigger tables.

very disappointing… the pho broth lacked any depth of flavour. my mom ordered the curry beef with white rice, and the texture of the rice was very hard and was not heated through.

Warm welcome with nice music. I really enjoyed it here the food was very tasty and nice cold Vietnamese beer finish off it is located in area I shop so very convenient. This just add on but went again and what can I say the food is delicious. The front of house so friendly and even put the T.V. selected playlist of some lovely Vietnamese music love songs by request. I will be making this one my regular stops five star is not enough

Service is fine. Friendly staff however - I've pretty much eaten pho all my life being a Vietnamese born native. Over the years I've developed a liking to having it with egg noodles instead of the traditional rice noodles. In saying that if the broth is all good the rice noodles is fine but this places broth was rubbish (beef and chicken) tasted like packet noodle seasoning and very bland and the egg noodles were well overcooked making them soft and mushy and disgusting. The spring rolls were ok though maybe a 6 out of ten for those and the pho was easily 1 out of 10. Still yet to fins a good pho in the uk.

Too many people sleep on this place. Solid Vietnamese food, cheap price.

Two and half star maybe. First understaffed, literally one man serving the whole restaurant, takeaway orders and the bills, everything taking so long. My pho took 40 mins to arrive and broth was not hot at all . Also chair is too high for the table which makes eating food very uncomfortable. The tofu with tomato sauce was nice but quite salty, BUT the rice was very very dry and very hard, like it’s been left in the air for too long. Not a good experience unfortunately!

蝦子炸春捲好吃，座位很多，營業時間長，店員友善，女生廁所乾淨而且有兩間。

Excellent experience visiting Pho 79 tonight for the first time. I thought the pho was the best I've ever had, outside of Viet Nam and the summer roll was so fresh and so delicious, I could eat over and over. The staff are friendly and the restaurant seemed really clean.

This is a basic restaurant with very nice Vietnamese food.

Pho chay, Vegetarian pho (listed as vegetarian noodles) was delicious! Reminded me of my time in Vietnam. The waiter was very kind and they had a great selection of sauces. Was suprised more people weren’t there for the delicious food! If I had more time in Glasgow I would definitely be back.

3镑的海鲜春卷真的太绝了！还有牛肉pho 实惠的价格绝对能吃饱！服务员小哥态度也很好

This place is amazing. If you’re a pho lover, you’re set!

Food is the best. I ordered vegetarian noodles and basically I get a huge bowl of soupy noodles. I tweaked it after I started eating with the mint leaves and after a while added crushed some lemon juice in. So different flavours. Very nice. Will go again. One thing to remember is the chillies - they are extremely hot. I would suggest just to add for flavour and not swallow it by any chance. I added just 1 - was good until I swallowed it after which my eyes welled up.

Delicious food and at a good price. Curry is absolutely fantastic. Service was fast and didn't wait too long for the food

Oh my God! The taste !!!!! The lady owner is also super nice :)

Great food, seems very popular with Vietnamese people!

Delicious! I got the vegetarian noodles (Pho Chay), the noodles themselves were so flavourful and the broth was so so tasty <3 thank you!

Summer rolls and beef pho. Beautiful! 🤤😍

Staff to busy playing phone games to serve me.. Won't be back..

Nothing worst than turning up at 9.30pm to find the place shut. Google says you are open until 11 pm

Food portions were large and tasty. Staffs were very kind. Thank you

Just looked like a cheap cafe and food not up to much
