The food was absolutely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Mihir’s service truly stood out; he was attentive, quick, and incredibly professional, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Visited on a busy Friday evening, the staff were quick to find us a table and also took our orders quickly. Food was amazing, plenty of vegan options. The veggie spring rolls are a must! Will be back soon. Cant recommend this place enough!

Amazing Vietnamese food! The pho broth was rich and full of flavor, and the fresh spring rolls were perfect. The staff were really kind and attentive, and the restaurant has a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

Walking through Christopher Place on a Sunday evening and saw, for the first time, that this place had recently opened. It was busy but not crowded, so decided to spontaneously pop in for dinner. We were greeted enthusiastically and shown to a nice table. All of the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. If anything slightly too attentive, with not enough time between our starters and mains. The Summer Rolls were probably the highlight, although the pork Spring Rolls were also very good. A great new addition to the St Albans food scene.

Lovely first experience at Pho St Albans. Even better that Blue light card holders get 20percent every day! Great stuff. The food was lovely and our served Krishna was helpful and polite. Will definitely be back again. Wheelchair accessible and a nice mix of people created a nice atmosphere. Thank you for a nice meal

Really nice restaurant, staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was lovely especially the veggie spring rolls and the honey and ginger ice cream. Everything tasted fresh and it was overall good value. Would definitely recommend Pho 🤗

Considering how large the queue was, I was surprised and impressed with how quickly we ended up getting seated. Our server Nick was very personable and polite. He made us feel very welcome. The turnaround time for drinks and food was quick. The portion size of the pho did not disappoint and was very tasty. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant, it feels very cosy. Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience at PHO St Albans! The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully served, absolutely delicious from start to finish. The service made the meal even better. Our waiter, Nick, was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made us feel really welcome and looked after us throughout. Great atmosphere, great food, and truly excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks to Pat too, great host.

Definitely going to give this place another go because the food was really tasty and some of the staff were extremely lovely. Summer rolls were light and zesty, chicken wings abundant, brisket soup spicy and flavoursome but the noodles were a clump in the bottom of the bowl. Homemade lemonade isn’t good value at £4.75, once you remove the three giant ice cubes there was about 150ml of liquid, shame because it was delicious. So, there might be a few teething problems with quality and service, we had to ask for a couple items twice because they were forgotten and it took two requests for the bill. Nothing that can’t improve

Came here for a last minute catch-up with a friend. I booked relatively last minute for a Friday night at 7pm and comfortably obtained a reservation. We arrived 10minutes early and was warmly greeted by the gentleman by the entrance who took us to our table which was between two other two seater tables. Our waiter arrived shortly after to take our drinks as we needed more time for food. I went for the Pho Long Island Iced Tea with my friend opting for the Coconut Water. We had to ask for tap water seperately as it wasn't immediately provided. My friend had no complaints about the Coconut Water, my Iced Tea was a bit underwhelming, at least as the alcohol content was concerned. I like the proper Ice Tea flavour but I could not taste any of the spirits not withstanding it was served in a short glass telling me that they used the spirits sparingly which was dissappointing. In my opinion a proper iced tea is served in a long glass and full single measures are used for each spirit, otherwise what's the point! Anyways, moving onto the food. We ordered some Spring Rolls and Beef Betel for starter which arrived very quick. The spring rolls were great, lovely and crisp with an excellent pork based filling. the Betel Beef was something I'd never tried before but was delicious - there was a bit of assembly involved with wrapping it in lettuce leaf with a kind of flat noodle patty which was explained to us by the waitress who gave us the dish. Both of us opted for Pho as our main. My friend went for the traditional Steak and Garlic and I went for the spicy Beef Brisket with shrimp paste. My friend generally enjoyed their Pho, however they said the broth was overwhelmingly beefy and could've been seasoned better. Mine was lovely and comforting, however I didn't get anything from the shrimp paste sp I have no idea if that was added or not. In both cases the portion sizes were huge and whilst I was able to finish mine, my friend struggled and requested his to be packed. Something that annoyed him was the the waiter just dumped a takeaway contained on our table with no bag which was is the main reaons I don't give 5* for service. All in all, I would definitely go again to try more of the dishes - I'm eyeing up one of the curries for next time. Overall it wasn't a perfect expereicne is was still great and would definitely recommend a visit if you want something different. And please, make those Long Island Iced Teas properly...

Good to finally have a soup-noodle-focused Vietnamese restaurant in St Albans. However, the broth lacked depth and I found myself having to add a lot of fish sauce to bring out the flavour. I ordered a bun noodle soup but was served pho noodles instead – they are not the same, so this was disappointing. The pho was not boiled enough and was still hard. The soup was also a bit oily, and the spicy oil seemed to be added by default, whereas it really should be optional. Morning glory stir fry lacked umami as well. More fish sauce or oyster sauce should be added. The music was louder than necessary for a meal setting. Overall, it’s a nice restaurant with potential, but there are several areas that could be improved.

The mains were generally okay, but the dessert really let the meal down it arrived cold,chewy and took around 20 minutes to come out. Service was also poor: we had to ask twice for water, and we ended up repeatedly chasing for someone to take our order, clear plates, and bring the dessert menu. It got to the point where I felt like I should’ve clocked in and started my own shift.
