I love this place! Superb Vietnamese food and lovely staff. Had been a couple of times over the years but it’s definitely now become my new favourite. Portions are generous.
Absolutely outstanding food and drink! from the smell coming straight from the moment we arrived at the door, having brought along a guest who has had authentic vietnamese food they were impressed and excited by the menu and the smells and food lived up to the expectation. The ability to choose spice range was perfect. the only downside was we were sat upstairs where it was very quiet with a loud drunken couple being disruptive and without any music on in the background it did dampen our dining experience but the staff were very sincere and apologetic about it and did switch on some speakers towards the end of our meal so we can't fault them.
Hands down some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever eaten. Everything was just incredible. Really lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff (who even ran through the streets of Glasgow after me when I'd left my bag at the table) Would absolutely recommend!
My friend invited us to Hanoi because she'd been there before and was dying to go back for their tofu, which she said was amazing. She was right! I also tried the chicken with nuts and coconut sauce, which was incredibly delicious, and the seafood pho was really good too. Everything was fantastic. Highly recommended!
What a great find in Glasgow. Delicious Pho great atmosphere and lovely service. It is not too big, so be aware of waiting a couple of minutes, but it's worth every second.
Delicious food and great location in Glasgow's West End! I went on a Friday afternoon with no reservation for a work lunch and we were seated with no problem. Affordable and quick service!
