Pho fangirls and fanboys have descended on this place like a bunch of really hungry, slurping ninjas (because ninjas are cool) since it opened. It’s become so popular, it had to expand in 2018, taking over the neighbouring store. Nguyen’s specialises in the now forever-trending noodle soup, pho, and they pull it off well. The pho comes in beef and chicken, plus a vegetarian option that’s packed with tofu, mushrooms, carrots and daikon. As it’s cooked properly (meaning left to simmer for hours) the broth has the flavoursome depth you’d expect from a pho.
Their midday menu at 8.90 € through the week is a good deal for the portions (and the flavour factor) while their main dishes beyond pho are prepared traditionally, and well. The vegetarian options are also plentiful and are tasty enough to rival any of the meat dishes on the menu.
Its furniture looks like it could be used in a real life Tetris game and the open kitchen is churning out fresh, light dishes at lunch and dinner. And according to Anna Nguyen and her husband, Nghi, it all comes down to the heart they put into it … not literally, but you know what we mean.
“We cook the dishes we love from home and we cook them with plenty of heart.”
“Nghi is here at 7am every morning to prepare the Pho as he just loves cooking.”
