    Service was a little slower than usual, but how can i blame them, it is one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh so it was very busy!! Highly reccommend. Flavours are electric and staff are energetic and welcoming.

    I've been here many times in the past and never had a bad experience. Staff are incredibly friendly, service is quick, food is reasomably priced and tasty. Also great for allergies (I'm a coeliac myself, and have friends with various allergies).

    Pho stores in Edinburgh at St James Quarter and Lothian Road are both consistent in their customer work and quality of the food. I've been to both branches and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful, B and ice never had an issue with whatever I order. The food is always good and fresh and hits the spot. I always have a hard time choosing between the pho, summer rolls and the stir fry Chinese leaf and despite ordering all three being too much for me, I can't but but order two sides/starters with a main anyway. I also appreciate how they separate the soup from the noodles when you order takeaway so the noodles don't get soggy in transit line they do in Hong Kong

    Waited 30 minutes for drinks to arrive and had to ask them again to bring them. Table was broken but we didn’t want to move as the service was so bad we thought they’d mess up the order if we moved. The servers were polite, just extremely slow and when I tried to catch their attention they all seemed oblivious to the customers the entire time. The restaurant was over half empty most of the time because they were taking so long to clean the tables for the long queue of people waiting outside. Food was good but have been to other branches where the experience was much better.

    Drinks were very delayed due to technical bar issues. Food was very slow and service was poor. Charged a service charge without asked. Won’t be back

    The wait to be served was long despite arriving at opening time. We also had to wait over an hour for our main course and when it arrived it was cold. Disappointed today as previous experience was not like this. Perhaps just a bad day.
