Very finely cooked dishes, we mainly had sharing plates and the raw scallops were to die for. Young waitress Bea was superb, great advice and so attentive. Atmosphere could maybe have been improved with more appropriate Japanese music instead of the standard pop which at times was too noisy. Visiting Cambridge and will definitely seek out other Kibou restaurants elsewhere.

Beautiful place with warm atmosphere. Friendly staff. We were very early and they were very accommodating. Toilets clean and beautiful decor. Restaurant felt comfortable and had relaxing feel to it. Lovely food, slightly expensive for a plate of pasta but was delicious. We had a relaxing meal in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely go back with friends and family for special occasions.

We visited Pho Cambridge to celebrate a birthday and it was great. The team struck the perfect balance of being attentive without overdoing it - if you know what I mean. Good selection of food. I’d definitely recommend sharing starters. Personal favourites were the Beef Betel and the Chicken and Shrimp Cơm Chiên if you like some spice. We also had our dog with us and the staff were really accommodating. Brought him a bowl of water as well which was a nice touch.

The food and cocktails were delicious, but what made this evening so special were the staff (our waitress was particularly fabulous, so wish I'd got her name) and the overall atmosphere. Gorgeous seating, lovely furniture, a variety of areas to eat, drink and socialise. The history of the building and pictures on the wall were a great talking point. The ability to play the piano, just made it! We will be back. Thanks so much :-)
