Pho 79 Vietnamese Restaurant in Glasgow City

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
