The House of ho in City of London, Westminster

Vinimos aquí para el almuerzo durante la semana. Nos quedamos encantados de encontrar que era mezquino bastante, así que podíamos tener una buena charla sin estar en la cima de otras personas. En el momento yo estaba siguiendo una dieta sin lácteos y trigo y varios platos que podía comer. El Pho era muy abundante, probamos la carne que es cruda y preparan el caldo de pho. El camarero era muy buena en sugerir la comida y la bebida para probar.

Llevé a mi novio y su familia aquí por su cumpleaños y fue unánime de que la comida era increíble. Terminamos todo el menú degustación básicamente. Como muchos lugares de la tenue estilo dim sum entrantes vienen como 4 piezas, ya que éramos 5, pregunté si podíamos tener 5 piezas y me han obligado. Ni siquiera me cobran extra, que me dijo que podía! No soy un come carne roja pero los demás recomiendo encarecidamente el bistec y panceta de cerdo que todos pensamos que era excelente, así como el rollo de carne. El rollo de primavera entrantes son imprescindibles y las bolas de cangrejo (delicioso!). La sal y la pimienta de cangrejo también era buena y el pollo estaba muy sabroso.

Service and quality of food was compromised due to "kitchen too busy". There are plenty of competition in soho and I would go somewhere else next time.

Great restaurant, such a shame it is now closed :(

Pasamos un tiempo tan agradable y la comida era muy buena. la besugo al mar es increíble, debe probarlo! Nos ha servido por Jordi , muy agradable y encantador camarero fue muy servicial y nos ayudó a elegir el bests platos y vinos también!! Volveré otra vez seguro! ¡Gracias!

Ha servido por Jordi y yo tenía el mejor servicio al cliente nunca chico agradable muy agradable, y te dan buenos consejos sobre la comida y las bebidas. Es Algo que tiene que probar los croquets de cangrejo y la besugo al mar así la carne es increíble el sabor en la boca no es imposible describir. Es una prueba de que!! Sin duda volveré! Gracias por esta noche Jordi

I met 2 girlfriends for dinner (one of whom is a vegetarian) at Ho on a Tuesday eve and we all enjoyed our experience. The restaurant has a warm feel and the staff is friendly and very efficient. We shared several plates, each of which allowed very decent tasting portions between the three of us. Vegetarian options were plentiful and the food was both beautifully presented and delicious overall - would certainly go back for the vegetable dumplings alone. Great value for money in very central London, especially if booking during Happy Hour.

Very nice and cozy place for lunch or diner. Really nice food, good prices and good ambiance. In the middle of the crowded Soho, worth the visit!

Habíamos reservado la mitad del precio £50 menú fijo y ofrecieron un "ascenso" para la Prosecco ilimitada menú de almuerzo pero con tiempo limitado para el almuerzo antes del teatro se establecieron en lo que habíamos reservado.

La experiencia fantástica tener comida vietnamita con un conjunto amplio y bien precio menú.

We enjoyed the 50% off £50 set menu & complimentary bottle of prosecco. Thought it was excellent value for money as we had got to try a variety of items that we would not normally order such as the Crispy Duck & Fresh Watermelon, Cashew Nuts. It was tasty and refreshing...who knew those favours would work so well together. Would recommend and would book again.

Rather a late choice but very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Good choice and it was great to share a number of dishes. Service excellent throughout.

I'd been meaning to come to Ho for a long time and as such I had high expectations. The idea of fusion Vietnamese-inspired food was very appealing and the place had the potential to be outstanding given the inventiveness of the dishes. Sadly, I felt the freshness of the ingredients let us down a bit. The chilli Mayo looked congealed, the slices of lime were dry and the pork belly was a melt-in-the mouth experience which disappointed with a slight aftertaste of meat and broth that was not as fresh as it could have been. It wasn't off at all but it certainly hadn't been cooked that day and it left me with the disappointing realisation that this too tasted a bit of chain food. I found the decor a bit underwhelming too. Cold and slightly aged. Too dark and the tables are far too close to one another. So all in all perhaps my expectations were too high. It was ok but I wouldn't go raving about it.

Staff very nice , friendly and helpful. The sharing food is ok ,nothing wow !!! but will back again to taste another dishes .

We ate as a 4 taking up the £25 per head banquet with a bottle of prosecco. We had one meat banquet and one veggie one and it was all delicious. Service was great and we left there feeling very happy and satisfied. Highly recommended.

The unlimited prosecco brunch was incredible. So much good food and lots of nice fizz too. Lovely staff, our waiter, Sa, was outstanding.

This place is a bit of a find in this area. Good food, good service and great food (even for our vegetarian friend).

Great dishes overall... we had a chicken salad, some dimsums but the steamed fish was the best. Highly recommend.

Good modern Vitnamese food. Waiting staff were lovely but a little too attentive, we got the feeling they were hurrying us even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Without the opentable deal the set menu would have been expensive, but the ordinary menu seemed to be better value.

This is not a first time for us here. We keep coming for the great food each time we are in the are. The food is very good and the Rock and Roll offer is good value at the weekend. Service here is also very friendly. We will be coming again.

Had the Half price Taster menu which was 3 courses with Prosecco. At £25 per head, was just about right value. Portions were small but tasty enough. Quali cooked well and mussels were nice but not enough to of it! Service was excellent and ambience was good but probably order off main menu if I go again, which is unlikely.

Lovely decor, friendly staff, great menu and location for going out in the West End afterwards. Really nice modern take on a Vietnamese food which we love after a recent trip to Australia.

Had a truly fab meal here - the bottomless brunch is incredible value. Plenty of food, free-flowing bubbly (which was regularly topped up - we never had to ask) and lovely service. We'll definitely be back.

This Vietnamese restaurant has a great atmosphere, serves really nice food and the service is very good!You can choose a selection of dishes and share, which we did, or just have your own . Staff are happy to advise!

Take some time and talk to your waiter. If you are looking for a nice evening with great Vietnamese food this is the place to be. All the dishes are supposed to be shared and the kitchen already prepares the dishes in a way that sharing is possible. The advantage is that you are able to try more dishes than by ordering yourself. The quality of the food is very high. We started with the summer rolls and they were fantastic. After that crabs (so soft that you als could eat the shell). The soup pho bo with beef was amazing. The ladies fell completely for the lemon gras chicken. The Vietnamese pork dumplings were delicious. Although we tried to try as much as possible we couldn't try everything. But we will be back for sure. The staff guided us through this evening and everything they recommended tasted excellent. Trust them!

Visited for Mother's Day with the family and ordered a huge selection from every part of the menu. Notable items were the duck and watermelon salad, beef rolls and chicken wings. Quite a nice easy going ambiance and we felt comfortable, despite having our four children with us. Small cocktail and dessert selection. Chocolate pudding was a hit with the kids.

We originally booked the set menu but changed our minds on arrival and ordered from the main menu. The food was extremely tasty and generous portions, we particularly enjoyed the soft shell crab and duck. Our waiter was friendly, efficient and professional. We'll definitely be coming back!

Normally I book my open table deals well in advance, but plans were fluid for a Saturday in town. Decided with a couple of hours to go to book some early evening food & boy was that a great idea! Fancied something spicy & this totally fitted the bill. Took advantage of the 50% off of their £50 set meal. Well worth doing on line as we got a decent bottle of fizz thrown in (that wasn't part of the deal if you walked in) - thanks Open Table. So 3 courses, plenty of spice, loads of food & fizz in the heart of soho, all for £50. Bargain! Food was so tasty, my favourites were the 2 duck dishes. Our waitors & waitresses were well informed and friendly, catering easily for adjustments due to a food allergy. Really impressed as nothing was budget about it except the price . Note: Aware that Thai / Vietnamese food is not cheap but it would have been a little too pricey without the deal (food was to my mind a decent £35 per head selection if I hadn't been privy to the offer). When you think there was a £28 bottle thrown in that means I wouldn't have gripped at a bill that was double, so this was a true 50% off IMO

I would highly recommend HO Modern Vietnamese. Having never been before I wasn't sure what to expect but I was really impressed with not only the food but the service. We had booked the 50% off the £50 menu deal which came with a bottle of Prosecco which is excellent value. Myself and a friend arrived for our table on time, however our other friend was held up at work and we really thought that the staff would try and rush us, but after getting us a drink they allowed us to relax, enjoy the atmosphere and wait for our friend. Once she arrived our waiter came over quickly to sort out our bottle of Prosecco and take our orders and everything arrived promptly, it could not have been better in my opinion. The food itself was incredibly tasty and there was a nice selection on the set menu. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning.

Lovely waiter and great chicken lemongrass coated in caramel. And pho was amazing and great company.

Très bon restaurant Vietnamien dans Soho, ambiance sympa et personnel très agreable. Nous avons pris différents rolls et des salades, le tout très frais et très parfumé.

Great food and nice ambiance, not easy to find nice decor in Vietnamese restaurants normally. Great tasting food, the menu with 50% off was good value - would not have been worth £50 though. Minus was that they didn't have any if the sides from the menu that night, and couldn't offer us anything else food wise... They gave us more prose I but I think they should have given us some extra dish or so instead. Would def go back though!

We had the "Rock and Roll Brunch" - at £33 including service, it was excellent value for money and included a bellini cocktail on arrival with appetisers, three starter plates each, a main dish with rice and side of greens, a dessert and unlimited prosecco. You might expect a restaurant promising unlimited prosecco to be a bit slow to top up your glass, but no, the waiters are right on it all the time!There was a mix-up with our booking when we arrived, which was the only downside to the whole experience - we had contacted the restaurant to change the number of people in our booking, but somehow it had ended up that the date and time of the booking got changed instead! Fortunately there was still a table available for us but an apology for the mix-up would have been appreciated nonetheless!

Set menu was great value - small choice, but everything was delicious and generous portions. Highly recommend

We booked the set menu deal with Opentable so expectations were moderate. They were greatly exceeded. From the initial welcome at the door to the end of the meal the service attitude in the restaurant was genuinely warm, friendly and spot on. In particular our server, Fernanda was one of the best I've experienced in London in a while. The restaurant has a cosy feel to it and wasn't too noisy. It is right in the heart of Soho on Old Compton Street. The food from the soft shell crab starter through lamb and sea bream mains through to ginger infused 'tiramisu' was delicious. I will happily return soon.

Apologies for this review being somewhat overdue. We booked the bottomless brunch for 8 on the 13th February. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more! Some of the tube lines being down on the day and consequently a few of our guests were over 30 minutes late for our 1pm reservation. There is meant to be a 2 hour limit on the bottomless brunch, however instead of starting it from the time of our reservation, they waited until all of our guests arrived whilst still ensuring the ones that were there had drinks and were catered to. The staff were lovely and understanding and throughout our time there (3 hours), the customer service was excellent. The bottomless brunch deal is exceptional value for money - 2 appertisers to share between two, 3 starters each (!!!), a main accompanied by 2 sides of rice and green veg each, a dessert, cocktail on arrival and lots of prosecco for £30! The food was lovely. 2 of our party were gluten free and they were considerate of this throughout without reminders, amending the menu where possible to ensure we did not miss out. We will be coming back and recommending Ho to all of our friends. Thank you for making this a lovely and memorable afternoon for us all!

We had a lovely dinner at Ho Modern Vietnamese on Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed the starters and main courses. The free bottle of Prosecco was a very welcome treat and made the evening a bargain night out. The only let down was the dessert which was basically a dollop of thick cream on a ginger biscuit. After the quality of the first 2 courses this was a big disappointment. The service was attentive and friendly and I definitely wouldn't hesitate to return if a similar deal was available.

Was walking through Soho starving with the girlfriend when I remembered I had read something about Ho and wanted to check it out.The receptionist was friendly and professional and gave us a nice table in the window.Our waitress promptly arrived and introduces herself, she was nice and seemed organised, but also seemed very rushed as she was alone running a relatively large section.My girlfriend having a mild peanut allergy, we asked which dishes contained peanuts that may not be listed on the menu, and our waitress said she would get a supervisor to answer our questions.We never saw a manager/supervisor in the end, so decided to go ahead and order anyway.It took a while for us to get the waitresses attention, through no fault of her own really, she was just super busy.The food started arriving one dish at a time starting with the cold ones then moving to warm then hot.The tuna tartar was delish, the ceviche was okay but the duck and watermelon salad was probably one of the best dishes I have ever had.One of our dishes was accompanied with a sesame prawn cracker and another with some popcorn, but both had clearly been made several days before and lost their crunch.The ribs were also delicious, but when I asked one of the food runners if we could get a bowl of rice with it, it never arrived.I know that it's never a good idea to order stuff from food runners, and would always normally wait for our waiter to take the order, but as I said before, she was super busy and getting her attention was out of the question.A bit later, towards the end of our meal when the room had quietened down, our waitress came over to us for a chat, apologized for not spending a lot of time with us which was nice and also apologized for the food coming out slowly which we thought was intentional.Desert, some kind a ginger tiramisu was very good and so was the Vietnamese style coffeeWas a great night overall, thanks to a good waiter and some very tasty dishes, but I think staffing levels and training need to be looked at in order to make the place perfect.Will definitely be coming again though!

My husband and me tried this restaurant for the first time with the 50% off the £50 menu. You always are a bit skeptical when it comes to set menus, however this one was not a disappointment at all! The dishes very well presented and full of amazing flavours; brought to a higher level using basics of the Vietnamese cuisine with modern twists. Portions were good and we left really full. The free bottle of prosecco made this an even more fantastic deal! We will definitely come back.

Very busy, courses for people were brought out at different times and we had to keep chasing for our food. But our waiter was so apologetic and the food and setting was lovely!

We booked this restaurant for Valentine's day as there we found an offer of 50% off the set menu. The staff were attentive and polite and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The food, although pleasant enough, left me feeling a little underwhelmed. We enjoyed the meal but was pleased that we didn't pay the full price of £50 each.

Restaurant très cher pour la quantité et la qualité des mets. Nous nous sommes rendu pour la st valentin dans ce restaurant et c'était l'un des seuls qui a pu nous accepter sans reservation ... Le service a été ultra long et les quantités sont vraiment petite, je ne suis pourtant pas un gros mangeur ! Il y a bien mieux dans le quartier surtout vers chinatown, je déconseille ce restaurant.

Have been to Ho a few times now, with family, partner and friends alike, and feedback has always been great. Food and service always really good, and in a great location right in the heart of Soho. Try the Shaking Beef, if nothing else, delicious!

Let's start by stating that both my husband and I adore Vietnamese food. You really have to have a taste for the exotic if you want to appreciate this type of food to the fullest.Ho Modern Vietnamese is just what it says. Vietnamese food with a modern twist.The restaurant is well furbished and has a warm and welcoming interior.We tasted the Valentine's menu and every plate was delicious. The food is freshly made, very light to digest and most of all, full of great tastes.But what was more than outstanding? Our waitress, she had quite a few tables to wait upon, but still she was there within seconds when we needed her. Our glasses were never empty, our food was brought as soon as the kitchen's bell rang and all of this with a warm and heartfelt smile.We loved our visit to this restaurant.

Really good food!!!! Was a Great experience all together can't complain, starters were out of this world!! .. Especially the mussels in Vietnamese curry and fried soft crab were amazing!!! Will be coming here again!!!

It was the perfect atmosphere for our Valentine dinner, the food was amazing bursting with flavour! The complimentary bottle of prosecco was the icing on top the whole experience. I would always recommend. Had an exceptional time!

I came here with a friend on the valentines menu deal. The restaurant was insanely busy and at first we were a little forgotten about. However once our waiter realised he had new people in his area ( the hostess hadn't alerted him) he couldn't have been more attentive. He even brought us extra glasses of bubbly as an apology. The food was excellent, great value for money and I would definitely recommend it for a relaxed evening out with friends.

The food is excellent if you love Asian food. Nice ambience. But most of all a very, very good waitress.

The waiters/waitresses were wonderful, so cheery and happy when serving. We had the Valentines Day menu and it was so tasty, every last bit!

Despite the staff not being able to find our booking via Open Table and then suggesting we had gone to the wrong restaurant we had a great pre- theatre dinner on Thurdsay night. We started with the fresh prawn rolls and then pork dumplings followed by the seabass and then the chicken accompanied with jasmine rice and mixed Asian greens. To finish, we had another round of pork dumplings. There wasn't anything I could fault with the food. The seabass came wrapped in a banana leaf and when opened looked like a work of art. It was all delicious and we will get back. The staff were friendly and given we were there pre- theatre everything was smooth and we felt like we had been there for the evening. A great find and one I would recommend.

I attended the restaurant here. The menu did not state what was and wasn't vegetarian/vegan. When I consulted the waiter he informed me that I had one choice on the menu - the vegetable Pho as EVERYTHING else on the menu contained fish sauce and could not be substituted without.The Vegetable Pho was lovely and I enjoyed it. Upon finishing I went to suggest to the staff that they make the marking on their menu clearer as if I had not thought to clarify I was Vegan and did not eat fish or egg products, I would not have known. The lady there did argue a little about it with me, and I felt I had to inform her that I was merely making a suggestion to prevent mistakes and confusion with others in the future, however, she accepted my views and said they would take my feedback on board. She then informed me there was one other fish I could have had but it was too late.Good Pho, but I would not return due to the lack of choices. Sorry!

I visit it on 23th of Jan. 2016.Saturday night in Soho and all rests fully crowded as usual.Me and my wife get in HO and the hostess find us the front table!So lucky!The atmospheare great inside,candles,romantic, ideal for couples and family-friends moments.The service was excellent and the waitress from portugal so kind and lovely person!Food was a very well setuped vietnamese restaurant.We ordered twice!!The only incovenient thing was that was chily enough the place we were seating.Thank you from Greece!

Went there for an early dinner with friend. Order the mushroom basil roll for starter and beef pho as main. The roll is something different. Quite like it. However, I think the pho is so so. The soup is not hot enough. And considering the price, the portion is too small, without much ingredients in it. Have had better pho in London before. Service is good though.

Really great food, lovely atmosphere and awesome wine!Food is a sharing experience, which was explained by the waiter, we asked for suggestions, and went for what he recommended. Was delicious! Shared a bottle of wine too. I can't remember what we had but it was all super lovely, will definitely be back!

We dropped in on a wet Sunday after a movie. Totally random choice but we were so pleased. A good, interesting menu tempted us to soft shell crab, pork dumplings (so good we ordered a second round), chicken with lemon grass and squid so soft it melted. Nice sake. Service was very helpful and friendly. Reasonably priced. Better tastes than Hakkasan, Mayfair where we ate on Thursday.

We did a fantastic deal with 50% off the set menu and half a bottle of prosecco per 2 diners. Our waiter was new and couldn't offer us flexibility - it had to be either a vegetarian or meat set menu. However the food was fabulous and for £25 a head it was incredible value for money.

Delicious fresh and tasty food. We ate from the set menu, with a selection of yummy starters to share, followed by beautifully light sea bream fillets. Portions were generous. The service could have been more attentive, but we weren't in a rush so this didn't bother us. Fantastic value with the toptable offer. I would definitely go back.

Went for the OpenTable offer with prosecco - food was amazing, service was great and such good value for money. A true gem of a place!!!

We went for the amazing half price £50 set menu, which was incredibly generous and with a wide variety of dishes, offered along with what seemed to be never ending amounts of prosecco. We were given a private area for our group of 8, which was private and intimate which worked well for our group. The service was a little slow to begin with but we received apologies after a gentle chase. Would definitely go back

This was my first visit here and did not know what to expect. We were also on a deal that was great value. The food and service were excellent and we loved the flavours and choice. We will return.

I must say the service is good, waiter is friendly and helpful, so 12.5% service change is worth paying. The seafood pho costs me £12, the portion is not so generous, and honest speaking there's better pho out there. A special cocktail of the day costs me £7, and it's very small glass. Anyway restaurant's atmosphere is nice.

Great atmosphere, wonderful flavours and great dishes. Will definitely return.

We weren't expecting the style of cuisine this place had to offer. Our waiter was extremely helpful and although there didn't seem to be on each plate it was surprisingly filling.A little expensive, but time and effort was clearly put into the creation of each plate.

The Restaurant is a great place, the staff are all very accommodating and helpful, we had a large table and certain food allergies and they were so helpful and made my birthday generally being not that great due to be in Jan, an amazing one. The set menu food was fantastic - the first time a special offer was exactly that .. the starters were very well made, I loved the pork spring rolls, the chicken skewers and the beef, all came up on large plates and was awesome. The restaurant was busier than expected so serving staff had a lot on, however the staff were exceptionally helpful and served all course fantastically. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves Asian food, and recommend the shaking beef!! All in my party commented on how lovely the food was and what a great place to dine at, therefore I believe this restaurant has a lot of good stuff going on in the heart of Soho. I hope that we get to go back again in Jan and again and again, thank you for making my night such a great one. Paul

we visited for dinner mid January; the restaurant is situated in Soho. You would probably walk past it without blinking, but you would be missing great food.We ate a mixture of dishes, including chicken and beef: Truly, truly excellent.The restaurant was full but not too noisy. the service was very pleasant.If you a re looking for a good Vietamese restaurant - Look no furtherCP & CP FAMILY

If you're thinking that you dined on the real stuff, think again. I understand that the restaurant is "modern" but I thought it was more fusion. Bowls of pho were small and you didn't get all the correct condiments with them. The service was poor. Everyone carried on as if they were a part of the royal family and then expected an automatic 12.5% tip on top of the already overpriced food.

Fabulous food and charming service. Would definitely recommend the set meal with unlimited Prosecco. ..great value and worth every penny.

What a find! We were attracted to trying a world cuisine we hadn't tried before. We were advised to try the set menu at £30 a head in which you chose 3 nibble courses, 1 main and there is a set dessert and lychee bellinis/ prawn crackers and edamame beans on arrival. We also had bottomless supplies of champagne throughout. Beautiful food, fantastic staff and a real treat not to mention a total bargain!

Amazing, attentive service fro our waiter and awesome food. The salt and pepper squid, crispy-skin trout rolls and duck and watermelon salad are out of this world. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Totally recommend; we'll be back!

The Restaurant made my evening very special - the food was absolutely fantastic, there was a large group together, and they were very accommodating. The Starters were really good and well presented, and the mains were also delicious - although the restaurant was extremely busy they still made every effort serve the table. The desert - was a mint Crème Brule and was totally amazing .. I previously preferred the old name of the restaurant as this seems very long, ,however the food has not changed and simply great. One of the best set menus deals ever. Very much hope to get back in, before the end of Jan for another round.

Too expensive for what it is. Staff badly coordinated and most of them unable to understand simple requests. I had booked one week in advance but for out on a table by the door which let in a blast of freezing cold air every time it opened...

Went here with colleges after work and the food was amazing! Very pleased with the staff and exceptional service!

Delicious ! Small plates/sharing plates costs do add up but everything was fanstastic, including service. Definitely a step up from a standard Vietnamese restaurant in my opinion, and as I went during "dry January" I can also recommend the mocktails!

I went here with my work for our Xmas party. I was a little hesitant having never eaten Vietnamese cuisine before. I needn't of worried, the tapas style dishes were all delicious (special mention to the squid) and it was really well priced at £18 for 3 dishes and a glass of prosecco. I would definitely return. It did lack that really really special feel which is why I've given in 4/5

Absolutely loved this place - great offer and food was lovely and looked after really well by the Portuguese waitress. Definitely worth a second visit and would highly recommend!

Not much to add to the previous reviewer bar my agreement. The food was good, lovely ambience and location - very cosy. The portions were small though. We had a couple of starters (labelled small sharing plates) - soft shell crab was one and grilled octopus another. Delicious no doubt.Main course I had a seafood pho, wife had duck breast. Both lovely but I was still hungry and for a bill that came to over £100 (we did have wine too) that's probably meaning I wouldn't rush back - not to say I wouldn't go back, just not in a hurry..Perhaps I should have said something, the staff were really nice, just felt a bit of dodgy thing to grumble about ('oi mate, I'm still hungry').They should think about recommending a rice/noodle order or even providing some complimentary on the side for hungry people to munch on.

Enjoyed a good pho in this more interesting dark lit restaurant. Service is good and the menu looks good with a lot of sharing options but alas when you order a pho, you can't have much else. Will go back another time to try those options.

Nice atmosphere right in the heart of Soho but the portions were minimal. Nice big bowl of Pho, lots of liquid but very little chicken in it. We complained to the manager, who was very attentive and offered us free desserts but quite frankly, our party was underwhelmed with the offering here which is a shame given it's wonderful location and nice ambient lighting. Service was also pretty slow.

I think the food was lovely and in good quantities. The free flowing bubbles complimented our Christmas party very well! We would definitely return.

I recently visited for my friends birthday. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. A sharing based menu which, although is rather pricey, didn't fail to deliver on taste and freshness. Worked out circa 40 pound ahead including drinks.A lovely calming retreat of a restaurant in the middle of a crazed soho. The staff were very accommodating. It was no trouble fitting in our party of 6 at a drop of a hat.

We came to this restaurant as we had a timeout voucher which got us a set menu with unlimited prosecco (although we only got 2 bottles), the starters weren't fantastic, the main menu was nice (had a nice green leaf curry) and the dessert was ok. Nothing really stood out for me when it came to the experience or the food which left me slightly disappointed. I've had better Vietnamese in my time.

We visited last Friday night. I was looking forward to trying some Vietnamese dishes but unfortunately was underwhelmed. The portions were far too small and all very overpriced for what it was.the staff is friendly and accomodating.

If you want to waste your money and eat overpriced bland food then this is your place!We had a few of the sharing platters, the dumplings we sent back as they tasted like they'd been cooked using the chef's feet. In a theme of Christmas they were as generous as Scrooge when it comes to portion sizes. I felt like Tiny Tim when we were done. More Sir, please?!There was a load of Staff waiting around, none of which asked if our meal was ok, because they add 12.5% service charge so don't care about you, the customer! Genuinely wish we would've had a subway instead. Would've been cheaper and actually achieved the aim of being fed. We had to go for a pizza after (recommend the place opposite the Lyric theatre it's fab).If I could give 0 stars, I would. In fact that's not fair, the decor was rather nice. Well done decor, you did a better job than the chef and waiters. You deserve your share of the service charge.

The staff were exceptional. Attentive without being obsequious. My personal tastes didn't like the aubergine, and it's usually a veg that I love but the egg spoiled it. But the starters especially...yum yum yum.

Ho Modern was a disappointing dining experience. In London, one is spoiled for Vietnamese restaurants. The food at Ho was lacklustre, and the menu limited. We would not recommend this restaurant.

Came here on early on a Saturday evening and had no problems getting a table for 2 without a reservation. The atmosphere was cosy but modern and the servers were attentive in taking our order. We opted for the half price set menu for £25 each, which was great value for the amount of food we got - beef with peanuts, duck with mint, and trout salad to start; sea bream and chicken curry for main with rice and Asian greens; plus crème brûlées for dessert. Everything was tasty, although nothing stood out as amazing with perhaps the exception of the duck starter, as duck and mint was a new combination I had never tried but worked very well. As the evening progressed however the service became non-existent, which was no problem for us as we were not in a rush, but by the time we came to try and ask for the bill we realised we had been sat without question for over an hour. Overall I would say it was good and I may return, but would not be worth the visit without such a good offer on the table.

food, awful service, overpriced. Tasteless and bland at best! Shrimp and lemongrass summer rolls were basically tastless rolls of carrot and cabbage. Pho as bland, with poor quality beef and not even hot!

I have been to House of Ho a couple of times now and have absolutely loved it each time! The atmosphere is great and on warmer nights they open the massive windows onto the street, which as a lover of people-watching suits me perfectly!Great cocktails and the food is always delicious - the jasmine smoked ribs are a must. Will 100% come back, I'm desperate to try their Sunday brunch!

Service was not that friendly and food was good but not great. The servers could explain more about the food and be friendlier. The prices are quite steep given the amount of Vietnamese establishments in the area and London. Nice ambience and dark decor and a nice restful place to relax and eat when in Soho.

This restaurant is VERY EXPENSIVE!!! The prices are Michelin starred level. It sets itself as a fine dining restaurant, with fine dining prices. However, the taste of the food, while not bad, is too intense that me and my gf had to wipe the sauce from the chicken before eating it. The portions are very small even for a main course.Service was good but at that price it should be. However, at the end of the day people go there for food, not for service. And for the price, it's just not worth it.

There are positives and negatives about this restaurant but overall, if you can avoid it, do it at all costs.Positives:Athmosphere is nice and cosy. The food is relatively tasty.Negatives:The restaurant is way understaffed. Waiters are running around like headless chickens. Too much to do, no organisation. The managers are overwhelmed. You have to beg to order, you wait for a long long time for your dishes, you have to beg for the desert menu, the wait forever to get the bill after asking for it.The food comes in very small portions that are very expensive for what they are (9 pounds for 3 balls of crab?? Same for a tiny plate of octopus). Drinks are overpriced too. Although you can go for cheap prosecco (tastes like vinegar mixed with sparkling water).Verdict: not again.

We stopped in here after 9:30 pm, and took advantage of their post-theater menu. This turned out to be a very nice selection of modern Vietnamese dishes, at a very reasonable price. Everything was very tasty; we look forward to coming here again.

The restaurant is an interesting fusion of a traditional Asian/Vietnamese style restaurant, but with a clearly modern twist. I was in there for cocktails but the menu was varied and interesting, and I will certainly be back to sample it. The cocktail was a twist on a typical mojito. I doubt I'd be able to say exactly what they did with it so I won't try. But it was refreshing, strong enough to feel like you were getting a cocktail, but not at all overpowering. I enjoyed the twist at the end, and felt that it was very reasonably priced - which for this part of London was surprising. I enjoyed it so much I had two in the end!I could also see that the waiters were all very well informed. They knew their cocktails, and flavours, and were able to advise us on what we would probably prefer. They were keen to be helpful, and brought us some little nibbles as well which I thought was a really nice touch and totally unexpected. Overall a very pleasant experience and I will definitely be back for the food which smelled absolutely divine!

I love this place. I was lucky to be served by a guy called Denniz and he was really good. I tried a few things as he suggested and everything was so delicious , especially the pork belly. He also suggested a cocktail like a mojito but with a twist and was very good. I recommended this place to some friends and they also had a very nice experience.

We booked for a Saturday lunch time offer of a full meal and unlimited bubbly. I was unsure about whether this would mean unlimited fizz but it didn't disappoint. We had a lychee Bellini on arrival and the food was excellent. The drink was flowing and when we finished one bottle we were immediately given another. I think our table of 6 did 10 bottles of prosecco. It was outstanding value for soho and great food, and brilliant service from our waiter Gary.

There's a waiter and a waitress. The waitress is the rudest person I've met in a long time. The food is ok but not worth putting up with the service for. I won't be back.

I ate at the restaurant with a friend on a Tuesday evening while in London on business. We booked a table in advance as we expected it to be busy. However, only around a third of the tables were taken while we were there. Overall it wasn’t a very good experience. There were far too many staff working but none of them seemed to know what they were doing. The food was very expensive and very disappointing. The portion sizes were tiny and everything tasted too salty, fatty and not particularly warm. An example is £18 for about 6 cubes of lukewarm chewy beef! The wine was good but didn’t manage to save the meal. They automatically add a big service change to your bill but we asked them to take it off as we didn’t feel they deserved it. We came away from the meal feeling ripped-off, disappointed and still hungry! I definitely would not return and don’t recommend it at all.

Came here for the Unlimited Prosecco brunch on a Sunday & was not disappointed. I must admit, I did expect to be requesting the drinks frequently & potentially not getting my money's worth with this deal, but I was so wrong! Atmosphere was great when I walked in around lunch time, everyone appeared to be on the Brunch deal & were pretty drunk!! The waiters were doing a fantastic job of keeping everyone topped up.The food choices on the Brunch menu were great, I was stuffed by the end of it, you wont be short on dishes. All dishes were cooked really well, a great mix of dumplings / salads / meat dishes.Slightly more 'Western' focussed menu (e.g chicken wings) than some of the other Vietnamese places around Soho, but great food nonetheless.

Met up with friends for brunch at house of Ho. Mixed reviews so didn't know what to expect really. It exceeded our expectations with a fabulous selection of starters chicken salad and squid were favourites 3 of each per person and generous portions. Main course worth paying the supplement for the beef it was melt in the mouth. Dessert was a creme Brulee all washed down with never ending prosecco. Wonderful food and great value for money will definitely be returning

Walked in with no expectations looking for a decent meal in Soho. Service was polite, but two of our dishes went missing. Everything was salty, especially the pork dumplings which were inedible. I've eaten good twice as good for half the price round the corner. Disappointed; certainly wasn't worth what we paid.
