Pho Xau

I’ve been walking past this place for the last few days whilst waiting for it to open. Today was finally the day that the closed sign flipped around. I piled in with a few colleagues to sample the banh mi for lunch. What we met was a disaster of service and what was clearly a rushed opening to bring some cash through the door.
The communication between the order area and the kitchen was non-​existent and we had to wait over 10mins to finally get served. That said, after we walked away with disappointed faces we swiftly lit up as we ate the food. The banh mi was delicious. Pork, beef, and phở beef were purchased by us, and all were fantastic .
I really want this place to survive as it brings new tastes to an area overcrowded with franchises. I’m going to give them a fortnight to bed in before giving them another go to improve their service. Another area which should be reviewed is their pricing. £4.50 for a relatively small banh mi won’t cut it against the competition in this area. Good luck, I wish them well!
