One of the fastest services I’ve ever seen. We attend Pho Brighton semi-regularly and are aware how the service takes a little longer when it’s at its busiest - but during this last time we visited, the staff and kitchen really outdid themselves in terms of speed.

We were a large table on a Saturday night. We were looked after really well and given plenty of time to spend there. Good was really good.

This was our second visit. We came back again because we loved it the first time. This time though the steak broth was really oily, the steak texture not good, and the beef brisket broth's beef was tasteless but I loved the broth so just had that. The brisket broth has the most amazing flavour! However, my daughter had the king prawn broth and although she enjoyed it, had to rush home soon after and had a very,very upset stomach.

The service was extremely bad and the staff are concentrating more on the deliveroo drivers than restaurant guests. Dirty plates were left on the table, we had to keep getting the attention of staff to order, get drinks and even the bill. We were not offered desserts and this was a birthday celebration meal for my grandaughter. It is our 2nd time but will be our last time.

Pho in Brighton has never disappointed this particular diner. Each time a new item from the menu to savour. A delight to enjoy each meal and look forward to the next.

Always a great experience for family with a coeliac (and T1D) child. Most of the menu is gluten-free and there is great awareness and service for coeliacs, food is tasty and fresh, great drinks, including super-fresh juices, and the best fresh mint tea, great service from people who, by now, know us really well. We love this place and keep coming back, despite the abundance of restaurants in Brighton
