On a cold, rainy Cambridge day, Pho was the perfect choice. The cozy atmosphere provided a warm escape from the weather, and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the beef with garlic pho, and the fragrant, flavorful broth, paired with fresh herbs and tender beef, felt like a much-needed hug in a bowl. Even though the restaurant was bustling, the wait time to get seated was very reasonable—no more than 10–15 minutes. The staff were attentive and efficient, ensuring everything ran smoothly. They checked in just the right amount without being intrusive, which added to the relaxed dining experience. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and portion sizes—not the cheapest option, but definitely worth it for a hearty and satisfying meal. One standout feature was their innovative payment system. They provided a phone pre-loaded with an app to split the bill, which calculated the exact amount per person if you wanted to share the cost. It was incredibly convenient and felt like a modern touch that made the whole process hassle-free. Whether it’s for the delicious food, the thoughtful service, or just a place to warm up on a rainy day, Pho Cambridge is a spot I’ll definitely return to.
A gem, nestled in the city. Food was tasty and generous, the tea afterwards was mad to watch the flowers appear, with a bottle of red at under £25. Staff were very friendly and explained the menu.
I didn't enjoy the food as much as I thought I would have. I love Thai food but not from here. The summer roles were ok. Quite disappointed though. The quality wasn't there for me. Didn't taste like authentic Thai food to me. Unfortunately I won't be back.
Best place we could have possibly chosen for lunch when visiting Cambridge. Stumbled across this restaurant completely unplanned and I'm so glad we did! The staff was extremely nice and helpful, lots of vegan and other dietary restriction-friendly dishes on the menu, big portions and reasonable prices. I got the curry pho with tofu and mushrooms and was beyond satisfied with my meal. I highly recommend this place to all;)))
This is the second time we have eaten here and we are only in Cambridge for four days. The food is super tasty, fresh and nutritious. Virtually all food is gluten free, which is great for me as I am a coeliac. Today, I had the chicken wings to start. It was a large portion, beautifully cooked and presented. For my main I had the steak and garlic noodle soup. The flavours were amazing! I was worried I would get to full so I ignored the noodles and fully consumed the beef and soup. It was so delicious with fresh side salad and herbs. I wish we had a restaurant near us. It was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. It also seems like a very popular eatery with people from all around the world. I would most definitely recommend Pho in Cambridge, UK.
I dined inn for lunch on a Saturday with these guys and they were absolutely amazing and warm. Shout-out to Lia. She was very kind and patient. Speaking about the ambience, there is no question, it had good music, amazing staff and comfortable seating with exceptional service. Speaking about the food, the prawn crackers were a 10/10. It easily serves 3-4. The seafood spring rolls were exquisite but, as a fitness & health conscious person, the oil dripping out of them will make you a little concerned. They try to expertly cover it by adding 2 huge cabbage or lettuce leaves underneath, but it is there. The pho on the other hand was a banger. The broth was fantastic. The meat (beef brisket) had a little bit of a bite but tasted beautiful and the meatballs were just incredible. Wow ! Thank you so much for having me experience such good Vietnamese food for my first time.
The food was very good with rich flavors and fresh ingredients that truly impressed us. A special shout-out to our server, Lia?, who took great care of our table. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. It was also awesome that we didnt have to wait long for our food. It was arrived promptly and was warm enough. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I highly recommend. We will definitely be back!
Good food and service. Reasonably priced and a nice environment. We regularly eat at Pho Cambridge and always have a good time.

Great service
Great food, great service Team is great Food
Lovely food and atmosphere. Enjoy eating at pho regularly!!
Been to this place several times now. Great but not the most delicious Pho I ve had. Very friendly service always, though! Our servers are generally very kind and attentive. Their pho portions are generous (lots of noodles and protein!), and the broth is hearty and aromatic. Can definitely get a bit busy during meal times as it s a solid food choice in city center. The only bit of a downside was the Vietnamese coffe we ordered. It was delicious, but the measly portion seemed a bit much for £4!
Starters were amazing! Fresh and delicious dips! Atmosphere was brilliant too. Mains were not as appealing and lacked some crunch in my opinion, some of the mains were a little missleading like the wok fried noodles didnt appear to be crunchy as expected. Overall was pleasant but could be better! Kid-friendliness: High chairs very kind staff, pleasant atmosphere
Melissa - great service
Amazing service and brilliant food as always! My go to in cambridge
food was delicious, thank you Kathy for your lovely service!
We lived it
I had beef combo noodles with extra topping of mushrooms and pak-choi. Excellent flavor and helping is generous! Suggestion: since I ordered the extra toppings and they were put on the dish rather than cooked together, so they are a little bit cold, the soup is also not cold but not the hot soup it should be like because of the cold toppings put in. It s nice to have HOT dish just ready! Excellent service and atmosphere.
Cathy was a fantastic server, smiles and laughter all round
Delicious food in a very cosy environment. Shout out to Vanessa for lovely service :)
Lovely meal. Very helpful staff and great service for coeliacs
Served by Vanessa, very kind and good food.
Vanessa was great with assisting us throughout our meal at Pho- we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be returning again!
Vanessa was an angel, the best service I ve experienced in a long time.
Vanessa is awesome
Dev provided excellent service!
Had a great crab noodle soup, and the service by Dev made my experience. Coming back soon
Had a great experience and service by Kavya and Anna. Ill definitely come back again soon
Horrendous service
Great experience! Thank you so much to Carolina and the rest of the staff at Pho for helping us to have such a lovely meal.
Not really authentic. Somehow they let people wait for a long time even though there are several tables available all the time. Never order the homemade lemonade, it s powder made lemonade. Every time it will take a long time to pay. The location is p good tho
Fantastic food and service
all very good
Devs definitely the goat
Amazing food, curry so nice!
Vegetarian options: Na Food

Service is fantastic, and the food is amazing so much flavour
Really happy welcoming staff and great food and drink
Our go to place when we re in Cambridge - book before going as they re always busy! Excellent food at reasonable prices Food
We came for dinner and had the most delicious food. All 7 of us were extremely happy with the food, the setting and especially the staff. The Two staff that served us was so nice. only one of their names i remember, his name was Dante (sorrry if i spelt it wrong), he was so lovely, energetic, kind and amazed us with how he kept everyones order in his mind, no need of writing it down:) We will definitely return!
super sweet server :P Vegetarian options: mushroom pho Food : 5/5 |
Cathy is a great server! The food is wonderful!
very delicious
SO amazing if you re gluten free and vegan. Food was unreal and so much choice. I ll be back again and again!
Chicken wings are the best! Vegetarian options: Na Food : 4/5 |
Great food, our waiter Dante was brilliant, thank you!
Very nice. Friendly staff
Great food, competent friendly staff :)
amazing for gluten free and veggie food! Vegetarian options: lots of vegetable, tofu and veggie chicken options for most meals. Dietary restrictions: basically an entirely gluten free menu! only exception is the spring rolls, but that is made very clear on the menu and by staff
As per usual never disappointed Food : 5/5
Hussein was lovely and did his beat at a very busy lunch time, bless him. Amazing food. Thanks for all! Vegetarian options: Great
Very disappointing. Food was okay but quantity and variety of ingredients in curry is sub-par. Poor service, we were seated on the worst tables (at 6pm when most of the restaurant was empty and much nicer tables were free), the waiter forgot water, and left the bill and card machine on the table without saying a word and went elsewhere while we figured out how to pay! On top of this 15% service charge was added (not written on the menu!) and no option to remove it. Surely wont be back...
Very nice Vegetarian options: Really good Food : 5/5 |
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food
Fantastic service. So kind and patient!
I like the service yesterday evening. The staff who served us was excellent and quick to take our orders. We have our little one with us so it was helpful to not wait for too long to have our order taken and also the floor manager i assume, (the one who seated us) was kind to let us dine as initially there was no room for our buggy and very kind to help us with the high chair. We go to pho time to time as they got our fave menu and seldom we don t like the service and also bcoz its not buggy friendly all the time but yesterday we were happy. (Friday, 25 October) Wheelchair accessibility: I dont think this is accessible for wheelchair users as the main door is too narrow
Food is not authentic. I had the pho and it tasted off. Service was really good and the atmosphere was nice, but the pho was not real pho. Id go back and try a rice dish though ... maybe its just the pho that didnt end up great.
My friend and I dined in for the first time and it was an absolute delight. Food was amazing, and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend. Well be back for sure
Delicious food. Music just a bit too loud! Vegetarian options: Great choice
A fantastic place with very good food(and cocktails) and impeccable service. Highly recommended.
While outclassed by surrounding establishments if getting a bite in the centre, Pho really shines when delivered - theres minimal loss of quality due to smart packaging. The next time youre under the weather, get some curative soup straight to your doorstep.
Really good lunch AND the servers asked about food allergies for everyone who came in. Dietary restrictions: Almost everything is gluten free in the entire restaurant.
Amazing food, the staff is really kind and the service is so fast for such a busy place. The music is so cool, the vibe of this place is so welcoming and cool. Hope you enjoy your visit like I did!
Food as always no fail. Delicious! The host at the door was very efficient. Wilf, our server, was very friendly and professional. He checked on us to make sure we had everything and he also had good recommendations. Only suggestions would be to add more vegetables to the Wok Fried noodles. Other than that everything was great.
Excellent service and great food
The food is very good and we had a nice experience. However, for the payment they give you a payment terminal for paying the bill including a hefty service charge that you can t remove.
Rice was tasty but very spicy and the pho soup was ok. Service attentive and fast.
Danny was super friendly and helpful the food was delicious
Parking: Park by the botanical gardens Food
I recently dined at this restaurant and, while I appreciated the ambiance, the overall experience was a bit disappointing. After placing our order, we waited about 30 minutes for our food, and when it arrived, a few of the dishes were not as warm as expected, which affected the taste. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, possibly due to the busy evening, but it did impact the service quality. I d suggest adding more staff during peak hours to help ensure timely service and that dishes are served at the right temperature. I believe this restaurant has a lot of potential, and I hope they can make some improvements to enhance the dining experience.
Summer role is as rigid as your grandma s slippers. Didn t ask about allergies and gave us pho with our allergens. The manager insisted they have asked and blamed us instead. Don t go. Unless you want to be abused.
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. Not only did I wait over ten minutes before anyone came to take my order, but the service overall was very poor. No one asked if I had any allergies, and my dish arrived with seafood which I m allergic to. When I politely requested a replacement, the staff responded rudely and even complained about my request. It s alarming that they would overlook such basic aspects of customer care, especially concerning food allergies. The lack of attention, courtesy, and respect made the experience unpleasant. I hope they make significant improvements in both their service speed and customer interaction.
Stefan Was great. Very attentive and great aura. A great asset to Pho. He is definitely a reason to come back to Pho. Keep him on. May Food
What a great place! Stefans service is impeccable! Such a good vibe overall, so attentive and considerate !! Would come back just for his service!
Food was delicious apart from our beef wrapped in spinach. Service was incredible. Stefan was lovely and so pleasant. Music was too loud for our liking.
Great service, thank you Shaka, Dani and Charlie
Love the food here. This is our favourite restaurant. The only problem I m facing is that you dont get the choice of removing the 10% discretionary service charge. Sometimes I prefer giving a tip amount of my own choice. Overall really lovely food, atmosphere and staff are always friendly.
Great experience! Stefan was fab! Thank you very much. Dietary restrictions: Very accomodating Food : 5/5 |
Excellent place to eat if you come to Cambridge! Quiet atmosphere and excellent attention from Dani! He recommended us and his attention was super friendly, we were delighted!!! I recommend you come!!!! Dietary restrictions: milk protein
betel beef - 9/10 garlic steak pho - 8/10
Food tastes good, if it came a bit hotter would be better. Service was good, Ben was attentive, professional and friendly. Updated: Just visited the restaurant a year later and was surprised at the difference in food. Pork spring rolls were enjoyable, but the rest of the meal was disappointing. The pork meatballs had a very un-fresh smell. The chicken and shrimp rice was very greasy, and the hot and spicy beef brisket had no depth of flavour despite looking very tasty with a deep red look. Really disappointed considering how good the food was a year ago.
Amazing staff and great food (be careful with spicy dishes)!! Dietary restrictions: celiac acredited!! Food : 4/5 |
Excellent service by Houci. Best waitron!

Food was great, and with very good portions! Delicious. The service was extremely kind and efficient thanks to Dany, our waitress. Only issue - the volume of the music a bit too high. I have asked them to turn it down a little but apparently it is impossible. Everything was great otherwise!! Vegetarian options: My pho was veggi
Dante was amazing
Had a swell time Vegetarian options: Really enjoyed Food : 5/5 |
Dani & Dande took great care of me as a solo diner! Food was fresh and delicious as always
Kid-friendliness: Welcoming Food
Had a lovely dinner at Pho this evening, our waitress Anna was wonderful and noodles were delicious. Thanks!
Fantastic as always. Only concern is that my dining partner cannot eat coriander leaf. Would have been nice to be able to extract it. But maybe if wed mentioned it as an allergy?? Special shout out to Dante for fantastic service!

My experience at this restaurant was simply magnificent! The food was delicious, with incredible flavors that truly impressed me. The dish I had was wonderful, and every detail was perfect. Besides that, the atmosphere is very cozy and pleasant, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the meal.

Great noodles, staff were really nice. Will be back.
Excellent food, super friendly service, super chill vibes Dietary restrictions: Great for nut allergies! Food : 5/5 |
The food is amazing and the staff are all super friendly.
The food was acceptable, however, having the staff sweeping the floor while customers were both inside as well as coming into the restaurant was unacceptable. Secondly, the in-house music was too loud and staff were not prepared to lower the noise level, hence other customers had to speak loudly in order to be heard.
I really enjoy eating here, as the food is consistently delicious, fresh, and hot, and there s plenty to choose from. The staff are super friendly too and really make an effort to make you feel like you re the only one they re serving. Love it!
The worst and most inauthentic pho, which is not a surprise given this restaurant chain is not run by vietnamese people. Portion size is also very small
Excellent food and service!
The beef brisket curry was superb - and the place was dog friendly. Super friendly team and amazing food.
Good food.
Not authentic.
Comfy, good music, fantastic service and of course great food. Parking: Arcade Food : 5/5 |
Summer rolls. Pork and Lemongrass balls. Spicy Chicken pho and Chicken salad. All superb. Never had a bad meal and staff are lovely xx
Food and service always excellent in Pho Cambridge Dietary restrictions: Mostly G/F Food : 5/5 |
I usually like the food from this place but this time I was very disappointed. We ordered some food from deliveroo and one of our dishes contained a rubberband in the food
Food and service always very good
The food is amazing much better than British food. And especially the stuff very thoughtful and kind:)
Great quantity. Top 3 places to eat in Cambridge.
Best place in town for good Pho! Affordable and great service
Love Pho, always my go to! The classic chicken curry is a dream. For starters the chicken wings, vegetable spring rolls and squid are delicioussss. Great service as always. Thank you
Great server tonight supper speedy tonight, so impressed how quick we were seated and served on a Friday night with no booking x
Fake Vietnamese food
Dont go there expecting to taste the Vietnamese pho you get in Korea. I wanted to eat rice noodles, so I waited 20 minutes and ordered spicy rice noodles, but it tasted like fish sauce poured on it and was very fishy (the noodles were cooked well). Aside from the taste, the staff in charge were very unfriendly. It was an Indian woman, and when she made eye contact and waved her hand to ask for water, she turned her head away and deliberately kept looking towards the kitchen and tried not to make eye contact (hahaha). The hall staff member was looking at me, but when she made eye contact with me, she turned away and left the kitchen. I saw him pacing around in front and I was 100% sure he did it on purpose. Tried to sing for 10 minutes and failed. In the end, I asked the person managing the wait for water. The service charge is included in the price, but I was upset and wanted to ask for it to be removed, but they threw the card machine in our direction and went away. I debated whether I should wait and ask for it to be taken out, but it seemed like it wouldnt come until I paid anyway, so I just paid it, but it would be a waste. Where did your conscience go after being treated like this and paying a £7 service charge? Was it tasty or was the service good? Both are worst. The wait staff was friendly, so I give it one extra star.
INCREDIBLE! Flavouring profile was insane. Best to book or get there early just before the doors open to avoid disappointment. We ate: Chicken summer roll Crispy beef rice bowl We drank: Pineapple with coconut water Pig tea chamomile
The staff is really nice and helpful - especially Zhea! The food is also awesome.
The food was really good, beef was fresh, Zhea is really nice!
The restaurant is very clean and the food is very tasty. The staff are very friendly and considerate!
The food and environment were lovely. The curry pho was rich and flavorful, and my friends beef pho was also quite nice. However, be sure to ask for the student discount they offer 25% off for students but won t mention it when you pay. When we realized this later (within five minutes of paying!), they refused to refund and reprocess the bill.
