Pho in Liverpool

We waited an hour and a half for our main course and were about to abandon ship when the food showed up. The waitress ventured an apology (kitchen struggling) and offered free drinks - but we didn't really want more liquid - just the food. She came back soon after and told us that we'd be eating for free. A potential bonus, but the mains weren't great though - better to turn the clock back, have it all good and pay full price for a nice evening out. I don't think I could ever persuade my better half to come back, it was all glum. If you're thinking of visiting, give them a few weeks to sort themselves out.

Great restaurant - wonderful pho soups, perfect service, great music and fun atmosphere. Located in the center of Liverpool and easy to access.

Lovely! Absolutely great food and atmosphere! Service is always fantastic! would recommend to anyone!!! Yum yum yum!

Great food and ambience. Staffs are super friendly and the place has got a good vibe. Would certainly recommend it to my friends as well when they are passing by Liverpool

Food was good not great. Very quiet but good service. Shame the drink I was looking for wasn’t in stock but good overall experience

A place with Vietnamese cuisine, mainly Pho soup, several versions to choose from, plus flower tea or Vietnamese coffee. Soup with lots of additives and herbs. Payment only by card! Nice service, lots of tables.

Literally the best meal I’ve ever had! Please go to Pho it’s genuinely amazing food and the Curry Noodle Soup, which I would recommend to anyone. Got served by Dulce in the Bold Street Pho and honestly couldn’t ask for more, best restaurant in the city!

The staff were super friendly, even when we arrived late to the restaurant, near closing time. The food itself was served in rapid fashion, and was brilliant. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent meal, a nice place to enjoy it in, and swift service, all for a great price too.

Love coming here, service is always fast, food is amazing and the staff are brilliant, just lovely. Today I had the wonderful Katie looking after me and she was brilliant, really kind and super helpful! Will be back!

Fantastic Unbelievable Experience

I had been in Liverpool for three days already, having arrived for the annual Beatles weekend. I had tried the traditional local dish of Scouse ( similar to Irish stew ) Italian, and curry. I was heading to a Greek restaurant on Bold St for some moussaka, then saw Pho. Haven not eaten there for a good five or six years, time was right for another visit. Last time was in Cambridge and it was great for a restaurant chain. This restaurant is small in comparison but was still similar in decor. It’s rustic shabby chic walls, wicker styled lampshades and chairs like you used to sit on in school. It was well lit, not ultra bright like some places. I was seated at the front of the restaurant. I had the pleasure of being waited on by four different servers, how lucky was I? Dulcie and her team were outstanding in hospitality and nothing was too much trouble. She meandered through the restaurant coordinating everything effortlessly and had a glorious smile. Staff were very attentive, engaging and professional. Makes such a significant difference when eating out. Onto the meal itself, I had chicken wings to start. They came with a spicy tangy dip, sriracha, garnished with coriander and fresh chili. Then I had the beef brisket soup which came with glass noodles. Tender brisket slow cooked in broth. There were small pots of chili you could also add for extra spice. The soup was flavoured to perfection and having travelled through Vietnam, I was delighted with its authentic taste.

Great food - the spicy chicken curry is a must try! Friendly service. And a peaceful atmosphere. Would visit again!

Dulce was amazing - great host and amazing customer service ….she deserves recognition xx

Danae was amazing! Her knowledge of the menu to recommend the perfect dish for a lovely meal out truly enhanced our dining experience. Danae made our visit a delightful and memorable one!

Excellent food and service from Dulcie

Took ages to get served crab soup wasn’t crab like a spongie horrible thing hardly any noodles

Wonderful place, great food and drinks, and exquisite service from the lovely Dorsey. Thank You!!!!!

Amazing service from everyone at Pho especially Dulcie. We will definitely be back!

Food very bland. What the owners think that Vietnamese food tastes like.

My wife and I booked last minute and was not disappointed. The staff was so friendly, polite and helpful. The food was so enjoyable with the truly authentic taste. An experience that leaves us with memories of an enjoyable evening.

Katie was lovely and so was the food

The food quality is bad. I got diarrhea after eating this food. Service of some staff is good other is extremely bad.

We asked inside whether we would be served/ could order outside. The answer was yes, but after nobody turned up and we left after at least 15 minutes

Katie was a lovely server and very polite.

The food was great and the fried pork spring rolls are amazing. Katie was very friendly and helpful!

Our experience here was fantastic and the food was brilliant. Our waitress Katie was fantastic, we’ll definitely be coming back 👍🏻

Dinares was gr8. Brilliant service, cheers for the egg 👍

Dinero gave excellent service and a beautiful egg

Dinayyy was great. Eggcelent services.

Daenerys Targaryen was an eggcellent waitress, very pleasant to look at. Did try to steal my beer though:)

Danae did the best eggs, and was very catering for a rather slow customer

Great service from Denaye and katie

Lovely service from Denaie. Will be coming back

Danae was so lovely! Put a smile on our faces and gave excellent service x

I liked how friendly staff were. The food was great I had charbroiled chicken bowl with rice and a salad roll with peanut butter sauce. The portions were great for the bowl and it was reasonably priced. Unlike most restaurants I visited in UK staff typically just ask you to tap. I was shown the bill and asked to review which made a lot of sense.

Dulcie was incredibly helpful and a amazing friendly server and was the loveliest meal, thank you!

I always love coming here. Our server was Beth and she was great

Katie was great and really friendly. The pho was tasty too. Thank you

Beth looked after us very well!

We both got pho and we loved it. This place never disappoints. Beth was our server and she was was friendly and she was professional (very)

Very rude waitress, just asked for the receipt and she was so bothered about this. I was patiently and kindly trying to explain why I need it (for a claim). She rudely interrupted me.

Sehr gute und auch etwas ungewöhnliche Gerichte. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Nach evtl Allergien wird genau nachgefragt.

Very nice food and very helpful staff.

Stopped off for some lunch whilst shopping and it was relatively quiet. Food was absolutely outstanding and the girl who served us was lovely. However, service was painfully slow. I had to get up a few times to ask for things we had ordered as they had been forgotten. Felt out of sight out of mind because we were sat outside. Will return of course just something to bear in mind as it isn’t the place to go if you are in a rush.

Great food and drink. Fab service from Dulcie

We come here often, it never disappoints. Food is always fresh & tasty, service is always really good - attentive yet not overbearing. Seeing as 99% of the menu is gluten free it's fantastic for me to not have to worry about cross contamination and being restricted as to what I can order. Amazing as always... 11/10!

I can't say enough good things about Pho. Staff are so attentive, atmosphere is brilliant and the menu is second to none! I

Terrible service. Food took too long to come out. Left halfway through the meal, didn’t make it to the main course. Staff were rude. Withessed them shouting and arguing in the middle of the restaurant (two blonde girls). Would not recommend.

Shirley's service was attentive and contributed to our positive dining experience.

Great food, great services from Shirley The Cantonese service that I haven’t seen in a long time is very friendly 😊

Shout out to Sherly, Alex, Faye and Edyta for the excellent service

Came for the second time this week, the food are delicious. Shirley, Alex and Faye services are great too.

Delicious food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. There are 7 vegan pho options!! Enough said. Oh yeah, and vegan crackers.

The food tasted ok, unfortunately the vermicelli was not well seasoned and tasted very bland. The curry was spicy. The food came quite quickly, but unfortunately the drinks didn't arrive until we were halfway through the meal. The drinks were very tasty.

This is our go-to place in Liverpool for lunch! Over the past few years we've been here about a dozen times. Very consistent. Great service. Great prices. Pretty good cocktails! Delicioys food. We find 3 x small plates to share is ample. Great central location. Recommended!

The food is so excellent and over my expectations, also have excellent service by Shirley, Beth and Nina.

Servers were so friendly and very accommodating. Food was delicious too! Thanks to Shirley, Beth, Nina and Katie! 💗

Good job we booked - v busy on a Friday evening. Lovey service all the way through. Starters were superb - chicken wings v tasty. Then some of the best calamari we have had. Main I had a beef pho dish which was excellent wife went for noodles. We were so entranced we stayed for dessert - the banana fritter was excellent. Brought memories of eating in Borneo flooding back to me. Wife had a kind of caramel dish in a fruit skin. She loved it. A lovely evening - thanks.

Firstly the food was excellent Fresh ingredients cooked really well Atmosphere was great The service was fantastic- special mention to Rory Beth and Shirley who looked after us so well Thank you Pho 🤩

Love the food. Ordered a rice bowl with grilled pork and the fish in turmeric with noodles. It was quite a good portion, not measly and very filling. Lot of flavour

Ate a meal here which was very average and on top of that when it came to paying, I was relying on paying cash then get told they don’t take cash. This disadvantages people like myself who find it easier to budget with cash, it also excludes people without bank accounts including elderly people and homeless people. Also don’t order the beef…it was sooooo chewy.

Really quite poor dining experience at Pho in Bold Street. A shame, as I usually go to Pho in Castle Street and that’s great. This one was a real let down. Arrived and the place was essentially empty, ordered - beer and starter turned up really quickly. Decent. Something obviously went wrong at that point and, an hour later, no main course. I noticed that a number of others, who had arrived after, had been getting their food. The fact I didn’t have any food in front of me all that time was clearly noted, but as the guy who took my order seemed to have vanished, nobody else checked. Politely waiting apparently gets you nowhere, so eventually had to ask - and food appeared shortly after. No explanation. Didn’t seem to have been sitting around for an hour so probably wasn’t put through till correctly or something. Who knows. I certainly wasn’t told what had happened. Guy who brought it was polite, but couldn’t really explain and won’t have been his fault anyway. There was another table who seemed to have same issue. Most places, the manager might come over to apologise if that happens, but not here. Nothing offered off bill etc for the long wait. Apathy seemed to be the order of the day. So no, not impressed with this one. Can’t recommend and almost certainly won’t be coming back.

Love it ❤️ Katie was great today

Lovely little place, the food was great and our server Katie was excellent!

Food is delicious and fresh for an affordable price the music is good and the servers are very quick and friendly. Food is absolutely delicious！100% recommend. Thank you shirley, megan and beth for making our visit very welcoming and enjoyable. Also lots of gluten free options ♥️

Great Vietnamese restaurant, this is our second time there and the pho broth was very good. High marks on everything to be honest, no complaints. Their range of selections from drinks to food is quite impressive, there are many options for anyone to try

Amazing service!! Food came fast and was hot when arrived!! Our servers, Beth, Nina, Alex, had amazing customer service!! The resturant is a very good choice if you are someone who has any allergies or other dietary requirements, such as being vegan/vegetarian (plenty of options) or in our case with a peanut allergy!! It's pho'king yummy!! <3<3

Always a pleasure coming here for pho. Shirley is a great waitress and continues to give great service. Terima Kasih!

Love everything about this place, Shirley the waitress is absolutely lovely, very friendly and efficient. Always know its going to be great service when I see her.

Eat here all the time and the food (mainly chicken curry and chicken wings) are always unbelievable. The last couple of times ive eaten here ive been served by shirley and her service is amazing, shes extremely friendly and attentive. Picture of my girlfriends 3 meat rice bowl.

What a great first time experience in pho Liverpool , service was outstanding as was the food . A special thank you to Darshen for looking after us x recommend to anyone , try your first tai here ❤️ Manager was an absolute star , we over ordered and under paid x ty for making our evening great x

Shirley was fantastic from start to finish. Very attentive, she noticed this was our first time which not many pay attention to, and made some fantastic suggestions 5 stars Shirley! Pho we will see you again soon 🤗

Lovely little place we decided to try out as a bit of a change, we were served by Shirley and Megan who were absolutely lovely and kind the whole time. Drinks were so unique and tasty and the food was so filling but not sickly. 10/10 would come again!

At every stage, our order was messed up including wrong drinks and missing extras. When e.g. the sides were amended, they seemed like offcuts and were disappointing. One of the meals ordered was extremely burnt to the extent of tasting overwhelmingly bitter but had just been covered by sauce. We sent this back and then had to wait for it to be cooked again while the rest of the food was out. We were then charged the ridiculous service charge. I honestly cannot believe this was not automatically waived and no further apologies were made. We won't be coming back.

Waiting for the table was a little bit longer than expected but definitely worth the wait! Delicious food, the chicken curry was magnificent.

Absolutely loved the food and service. Would definitely return to try more things on the menu.

Went for birthday meal, in bold street, waited over 15min for drinks then ages for starters, and again for mains,food average, but all together not impressed,

The food was fantastic and the service beyond reproach. Danae was knowledgeable and very nice. I had a lovely time, as did my companions. Banana fritters were really nice.

Great Vietnamese food and excellent service by Shirley.

Nice food friendly staff service a bit slow at the beginning, but got quicker.

Absolutely loved my dinner for one in Pho. Fantastic tofu pho and very friendly and welcoming staff. I will be returning.

Partner loved her dish. Mine was so so. I've had the same dish in the Pho Manchester restaurant, and it was delicious. The curry was thick and tasty, but here in Liverpool, it was watery and bland with no mushrooms. Staff were lovely, and the place was busy.

Great little spot , something different.. highly recommended this place well worth a visit

Foods is good. Good service by Shirley

Service is very slow. They don’t seem to know what they’re doing. Place is so busy and I don’t know why. Food isn’t great we waited one hour for just meat and rice which wasn’t very tasty. There has to be way better places than this.

The service was excellent. I'm a bit disappointed with the limited choices on the menu, but nevertheless, the food I ordered was good.

I could have stayed all night. Chilled background music and great staff. The food is amazing.

The service and food is nice makes me feel like coming back again. Shout out to Beth, Shirley and Katie for the excellent service.

Love the food and chill atmosphere Fresh juice and crispy chicken wings Great service shout out to their staff, Shirley Definitely visit again!

Was an absolutely lovely night out with delicious food, especially the curry and noodle soup! Our waitress Shirley was also especially nice and helpful.

Delicious food and great selection on the menu. Don’t leave without getting the spring rolls and peanut sauce!

Great food as always. Jess was a great waitress and gave our dog lots of attention which he loved. We’ll definitely be back.

Jess was fantastic, great service

Best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had especially being vegetarian the best starters best soup and a perfect iced coffee must recommended place to visit when in Liverpool

This is the first time we have tried Vietnamese food. It was very delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Compliments to Chef Galin!! The atmosphere and decor is warm and inviting and the staff, Danae, Sandy and Shirley were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Thank you we absolutely enjoyed our evening and will certainly be recommending Pho to our friends and family.

So good!! One of the best pho I had in ages, also the Vietnamese spring rolls are amazing - we had a little mishap with our order but the waitresses were super helpful and nice. Please open a restaurant in Dublin 😁

Great food, many gluten free options. Great service too

Visited pho restaurant on bold street on Sunday 10.6.24 the food was amazing the Manager was so friendly and so helpful he explained all about the menu as wasn’t sure what to order Was not disappointed will definitely be back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a brilliant night, the food was incredible and the service from Sean, Beth and Grace surpassed expectation to give us such a relaxed and delicious evening. First time here, and we WILL be back!
