What better way to finish up a day of shopping than to eat at Phở. The menu here looks smaller than their full restaurants menu but I was pleased to see that my favourite chicken salad was on there. My sister in law got the chicken broken rice & loved it so definitely one for me to try next time. Obviously had to have the pork spring rolls & squid to start… even though it got a little hard to fit it all in!

Extremely disappointing — anaemic chicken and prawn noodle dish that was way too salty. Never again.

After a agonising shopping trip food was needed. I wanted(not really) something healthy so thought mmmm noodle soup. We both ordered the phở bo combo which is basically all the meats in a bowl with soup and noodles(meatballs, steak and brisket) — well I didn’t want to be too healthy! We also ordered a side of salt and pepper squid. being nearly 9pm the food was made quickly and was piping hot through. The phở was ok — a bit too salty and the meat balls were very bland. I did like the brisket though! Really soft, juicy meat! Definitely preferred the squid — I liked how it came with the salt on the side so you could sprinkle it over your self. For a quick healthy(ish) meal it was A-OK!

I’m a pretty regular visitor to the Phở at Angel, and so I knew what I was getting in to at this branch. Unfortunately I was still a bit disappointed. Obviously it’s not the same vibe, having to order at a counter and carry your own food. I could forgive that, but I’m afraid the food just wasn’t as good as normal. I like the veggie spring rolls with peanut sauce but here they were a little limp. My wok fried noodles with beef had the right flavours, but they didn’t serve it with the same sauce on the side, so it was just a bit bland. I should have branched out and tried something different — there are just so many choices at this food court, and next time I will definitely try a different restaurant.

This is the first time I’ve been to a food court based Phở. As you might expect, the food is the same, but you completely lose the ambiance from the normal restaurants. You wouldn’t notice this with say, Burger King, unless you’ve only ever been to intimate versions of their restaurants but with Phở its noticeably absent. I was reminded again to work my way through the menu some more after I ordered since my wife’s stir fry was so good. I had the phở with meatballs and steak, which is my go to and it was as good as always. As I always say, Phở is to Asian soups as McDonalds is to burgers. It isn’t trying to be the absolute best, just the standard for that price point and for that I enjoy it.

Damn, phone died and didn’t get to take pictures. It did look half decent, but certainly looks small! Located on first floor in fancy Westfield food court, don’t expect to get a good bargain. Had a special mixed meat phở, and j guess it was a clear disappointment for me. When I have Asian food, I look for authenticity, and in this case, there’s really none. It’s really just a bowl of noodle soup with a Viet stamp. The acidity in the soup is lacking and the flavour is quite localised. The portion was not that big which is disappointing considering if cost a fair bit! All in all, it was a meal in a food court, and there’s really not much more I can say about it.

As it’s a Vietnamese Street Food outlet in with all the other restaurants in Westfield Stratford City it lacks some character. My selection was a bit dry and tepid, but very fresh, I will stick to the Phở from now on.

Phở, Westfield Stratford — I love it! Well, based on the green papaya salad at GBP5.45. I love the place and their concept and therefore hope to return to taste more of their dishes. Here, their Phở stall on the first floor in Westfield Stratford, is a small place, with a comprehensive menu short-listed from their menu at their larger restaurants. They have, to date, five restaurants in England. Phở is a Vietnamese chain restaurant based on street food. The salad looks generous, slightly on the pale side but tempting. Cold meatball served on top, not crazy about it. Refreshing, well-seasoned and spiced leaves me wanting more! It resembles the thai green papaya salad with the more dominant flavours of fish sauce and chillies. The soup noodles were a little less accomplished but good bowl size of food!

We love this place and our favourite is no second guesses Chicken Phở. I could eat it almost every day.

Delicious! I went for dinner with friends and I love that there is so much choice at Westfield. I ordered Ph tái, thinly sliced steak, which was very nice! I didn’t have to wait long at all for my food, the prices are reasonable and they give good portions. Will definitely be going back to try some more dishes!

I love Phở. It’s fast, it’s easy, it’s consistent and it’s delicious! Honestly, I’ve always been a huge noodle/food snob/freak. I couldn’t have imagined being a fan of a chain of phở restaurants aptly, if somewhat lazily, named Phở but I guess the world is full of surprises. I’ve never ordered anything except the phở here but when I eat here it’s always been a pleasure. Yes, it’s in the food court which is not ideal but I don’t let that bother me. I also don’t let the fact that other people are staring at me shovelling noodles into my mouth bother me. The vegetable phở is heaven and if I’m more in the mood for something heavier, I’ll get a beef phở(not the steak one). It’s a quick and cheap meal when you’re really hungry after being dragged around Westfield for 4 hours by your mum/girlfriend/sister and always satisfies in the colder months when something with a lot of broth can be uplifting.

After a long flight from California, we checked into the Holiday Inn located next door to Westfield. Needless to say, we were hungry! Decided to check out Westfield, and we found this place upstairs in one of the food courts. Wife ordered #27 phở with steak and brisket. I had #13 vermicelli with lemongrass chicken. She wasn’t too happy with her order. It tasted rather bland even when adding sauces to it. The vermicelli with lemongrass chicken wasn’t bad. It had some flavor to it, and was quite a good amount of food. We also ordered a couple of drinks. The apple & ginger juice was tasty. My iced tea was good as well. We never went back here the rest of our stay in London. There are plenty of other options available at Westfield. If I lived in the area, though, I’d give them more chances to impress me. The service was friendly and helpful, and the place was very clean. Prices, though, were on the high side.

I have to admit, being from the states you have a bias against food in a mall. Its always old tasting and oily. So I didn’t have high expectations for this place but I have to admit that this place was delicious! We did have several other higher-end places to decide from, including chiense, indian Chicago BBQ, sushi and others, but I have been craving phở for a week now being under the weather. The food came out quickly and was as authentic and fresh as I could ask for! Hubby had the curry chicken, which he enjoyed(almost as good as our fave place in mountain view). Happy to come back to this place as well as try the other ‘gourmet fast food’ joints!

One of seven current locations, this family-owned café is inside the Westfield adjacent to Olympic Park in Stratford. There are a lot of options for food in this mall, but Vietnamese in a mall is not something we find much in the States so I decided to have lunch here. They offer a good variety of snacks, salads, noodles, phở and curries, plus they have beer, wine, fresh juices, tea, coffee, pop and water. The line moves pretty quickly and you’re given a buzzer to summon you back for your order. I had the PHOTAILAN(#15) with flash fried steak and garlic, Hanoi style. Good sized bowl and while not the best phở I’ve ever had, it’s definitely good by mall standards and much healthier than your other choices nearby. I added an APPLE, MINTANDLIMEJUICE. Do get a fresh juice here!
