The Pho were good no question about it. Their signature roast duck was fabulous - crispy skin with juicy duck meat. It appeared more like deep fried then roasted. Very tasty nonetheless. The grilled pork with fried spring rolls was another dish we enjoyed very much. Loved that they serve authentic fish sauce based condiments with the dishes.
I came twice whilst I was Edinburgh for their veggie Bun Bo Hue, a spicier noodle soup. The portion was generous and filled with vegetables and tofu and the broth was beautifully rich in flavour. We were given a hefty amount of fresh herbs and bean sprouts to add to the soup and they had a wonderful homemade garlic oil at each table too. This was delicious and I was so happy there was a vegetarian version
Don't skip the Vietnamese coffee either! It's very nicely balanced and not overly sweet. I could've drank two if they weren't so pricey ;)
Lemongrass pork with rice hit the SPOT! The meat was soft, tender, and juicy, just as I remembered eating this dish years ago (in another country). The side vinegar and chili sauce was sweet. Don't be fooled by the chilis in it; there was no spice to it at all. Lather the meat in the sauce and eat it with the vegetables, rice, and egg for an unforgettable experience.
I tried Thai milk tea. Being from Thailand, I had high expectations for it and boy, did they deliver. The drink was sweet, helped by the thick, heavy cream mixed well with the brewed tea. Tastes just like home! To date, no Thai milk tea has some close to Pho Viet's one and I have tried many. For anyone craving Thai milk tea, this place is the real deal.
I'd definitely return to Pho Viet again. Hands down, one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have tried to date!
We came in on a fairly busy Saturday night with no reservation, almost sure we'd be turned away. We were nicely greeted at the entrance and told that if we wait a few minutes, a table will be ready, as some guests are just about to leave.
We agreed and waited. A minute hasn't even passed and a table was free and ready for us. The service was good, very nice waiters, paying attention to us but not invasive. Rich menu, we took our time choosing the starters and mains. Everything we ordered came to our table quick and was delicious, fresh and well presented. We are planning to go back to try some more dishes that caught our eye :)
So far, this is the best bun bo hue that I had in Edinburgh. The soup was not too spicy but very flavourful and refreshing.
They have several option like: vegan, beef and seafood.
The location is near Haymarket station
The staff were very friendly and attended to me quickly when I walked in. I really enjoyed the food and went twice, two days in a row. By far one of the best Pho I’ve ever had. Also tried the fried spring rolls with pork and shrimp (crunchy texture with a punch of flavours elevated by the fish sauce). The BRAISED PORK IN CARAMEL SAUCE was really good but was a tad salty.
Stopped here when all trains were cancelled and I couldn't have made a better choice. I love a good Pho soup but this one was by far the best I have ever had. Took a stir fry as take away for my partner and he loved it. Will definitely be back for more 🙂 highly recommend!

Staff were very friendly and quick to helping you when needed. The food was incredible and didnt have a long waiting time. Would recommend going and trying out as many dishes as you can!
Superb food authentic food ! You can tell it's freshly made. BYOB friendly. Desserts are delicious as well ! I'd definitely recommend!
I’ve been here twice now and their food is so tasty, service is alright too but I went when it was not busy. I think the price is quite high but the portion is super huge. £17 for this dish of chicken and rice and the same price for roast duck which was very delicious too. They don’t charge for service so I guess overall bill is not so different to other places with lower price but I have to emphasise that their portion is really really big with plenty of meat.
