Building on our experience at Viet Eat Holborn, Viet Eat Pho & Bun was created in October 2015, with a new concept that aims at revolutionising the offering of Vietnamese street food in London.
Pho & Bun is located on the popular Shaftesbury Avenue, adjacent to both London China Town and Soho, and minutes away from many West End theatres, including Queen’s theatre – home to the famous Les Misérables. Pho & Bun carries a new, out-of-the-box design that creates a cosy and comfortable dining environment with distinctively Vietnamese features.

    The food was very good and tasty, however portions were smaller than expected in proportion to the price.

    Overall food was good and they have a good selection of soup bowls, very much like a Japanese ramen, which from what we could see looked big enough. We had the Barbecue Pork Belly Bao Bun burger which was very good, but at £13.30 the belly strips only having a pickle and chilli mayo for company the fries being an extra cost I think is a bit expensive personally, but I guess it’s London pricing. However that said we enjoyed the experience and would recommend the place. It was busy at 5:30pm so you may have to book as we did but they seemed also to accept walk-ins.

    We enjoyed a very tasty and reasonably-priced dinner here on a midweek night. The food was quite slow to arrive which was the only letdown – when it got to us it was fresh and delicious and the staff were welcoming.

    I’ve missed authentic bun cha hanoi since, well, I lived in Hanoi. Had to come to London to get it and it was fabulous. Also didn’t know it was in Chinatown so that was a nice surprise.

    Very small restaurant and seating is very tight, but for us that highlighted authenticity and experience that we enjoyed. Really tasty and good service.

    Very poor food. Greasy and lacking in fresh herbs so rather tasteless.

    The service was not good and because we had a voucher we were treated as if we were not paying but we did get charged a service charge. They hm have us wrong menues let us chose for a long time and then told us it’s wrong menu you have to do a different selection. I had similar food another day for half the price and it was a lot more delicious. The restaurant had a good vibe.

    First visit to a Pho & Bun for a pre-theatre meal. Prompt and friendly service. Great choice of fresh and beautifully presented food which was very tasty. Nice buzzy but calm and welcoming atmosphere. All in all, a great precursor to our show.

    Was a nice experience - food was good and the ambience was cosy. The toilets were a bit disappointing.
