Reviews of Pho

It was a cold day in Leeds, and we were in the mood for a warming bowl of Vietnamese Pho making our decision easy to check out PHO Vietnamese Street Food at Trinity Kitchen. We ordered the Summer Rolls and the Pho Chin. The summer rolls were probably some of the best we have had and the dipping sauce was balanced and not too thick. As for the Pho, this was very underwhelming. Not even the condiments and extra greens could save it. The broth was bland and did not have the depth we were expecting. The brisket was also very lean and ended up being stringy when we ate it. We will maybe return to try the other menu items.

Visited just before closing so not all options available on the menu, which was fine & totally understandable. Had 1 chicken and dried shrimp fried rice and 1 beef fried noodles & a portion of meatballs. Food was lovely and tasty, fried rice quite spicy, but still lovely. Staff were friendly. Would visit again.

I'm not big on Vietnamese food so I was a little apprehensive to eat here when it was suggested by my friends. I was also concerned that, for how much I was spending, the portions wouldn't fill me up but I very much enjoyed the curry I bought and found I was satisfied, even without getting a starter. We had a quite large group of 9 of us but the staff were very competent on how to attend to so many people. Our main server Chelsea and the rest of the staff working were very helpful, especially considering how busy it was.

1) Ambiance (0.75/1) : A part of the Trinity kitchen - it is neat, spacious and does attract quite a few customers. My friends suggested this based on their previous experience of chicken and rice - they had loved it.<br/><br/>2) Food (0.75/1)  : I ordered WOK FRIED CHICKEN NOODLES served with a sweet chilly sauce in vinegar and some sprouts. The quantity was generous. Well cooked chicken - not over powering any of the sauces. The noodles were just as soft as it needs to be. The crushed peanuts on top added another texture to the whole dish - making it even better for me!<br/><br/>3) Service (0.75/1) : I was served within 10 mins. They give a phone-like black box that vibrates and goes red when your order is ready!<br/><br/>4) Innovation and Technique (0.5/1) : My friends and me - we really enjoyed what was served to us. Known for its Vietnamese cuisine, this place definitely has something that they can call their very own!<br/><br/>5) VFM (0.75/1) : One wholesome meal about £6 in total. I was happy with that. There might be places with better VFM but I am yet to explore them :)

Amazing Vietnamese street food. This place does great Vietnamese food - I keep ordering far too much each time I go because I can't choose between my favourite foods.<br/>I especially love the cafe su da - iced coffee with condensed milk. A favourite from my trip to Vietnam and tastes as great in leeds as it did out there. <br/>I would recommend any of the dishes on their menu - I'm trying to work my way through them all!

The menu specialises in Vietnamese street food such as soups, salads and noodles, and the fact that Pho's de facto seating area consists of cantina-style long benches and bar stools suggests you're here for a good time, not a long time. We pitched up at one of the benches, and went to enquire about some of the menu items.

Flagging slightly we both chose some restorative Vietnmese food from Pho, including a green papya salad, bun with pork and lemongrass meatballs and chicken and prawn stirfry with flat rice noodles.<br/>The food was solid, without being spectacular, although I appreciated the huge range of condiments they offered and the fact that my spicy noodles really were served with nuclear levels of heat, with the accompanying pouring sauce packed full of freshly chopped bird’s eye chillies.<br/><br/>The Ewing also enjoyed the sweet sour flavours from the salad, topped liberally with fresh peanuts for crunch, and the bun came with fresh herb garnish that perked me up after a weekend of cured pork products.
