Super food as always. Some of our group hadn't visited Pho before and were really impressed with choice and flavour of the dishes. We were a group of 14 and the staff made it seem like no additional effort to host a large group although I'm sure it is harder.

Been here twice now and the food is amazing, service was excellent even though they were busy and our waiter was new, the ambiance of the place was great, a little gem of a restaurant in the heart of Leicester. When we finished our meal there was a live rock band playing in the adjoining bar next to the restaurant which we stayed and enjoyed.

Lovely shared starter of seafood sizzler. I had a delicious prawn and crab linguine as a main, my partner had the fish and chips. The apple and blackberry crumble was nice but too hot for my partner and it never really cooled down. I had Eton Mess which I usually love but I felt it needed a bit more meringue. We were the only people in the restaurant area most of the time which meant that the service was very fast and we were finished within 1.5 hours. That said the waitress was very pleasant and efficient. All in all a lovely evening.
