Pho as the name suggests it's got authentic pho(given the ingredients in the area) serves up mainly pho and a few sides and narrow selection of rice bowls. Craving good pho you must go to pho. Ordered the spicy green, prawn rice paper roll and chicken pho. Loved everything.
Yummy
This is a lovely little restaurant, we went early on a Friday night, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Our waitress was very helpful and helped to choose a lovely beef pho dish which was both delicious and huge!
Amazing
Well I have to say the staff and food in this place where amazing. Staff go the extra mile and food was great. Cant fault anything. If your in Manchester you will not be disappointed if u visit this gaff.
Managed to get in at second try. Well worth it. Both of us had a "Pho" which is not surprising, mine was the chef's special so to speak and my wife's was a prawn based one while mine was more traditionally beef based. They were both great. The service was friendly and not in your face but helpful. Altogether a good dining experience, I wish we lived closer.
I’ve only ever walked through the Corn Exchange once. Many many years ago. It completely bored me. I remember it being sparse, unimaginative with not much in there apart from the occasional art exhibition (the exhibits were always pretty good though). From the moment we heard Pho Manchester was opening, this restaurant sparked controversy in our house. Mo and I battled it out on how to pronounce this restaurant’s name, our Fantastic Four whatsapp group even changed to ‘Foh’ or ‘Fuh’ whilst we both constantly pleaded cases to prove each other wrong. A quick tweet led to Pho showing this:
The Corn Exchange in Manchester is having a facelift. The building spent the last few years home to some retail spots which failed to pull in the crowds. Now it’s been gutted, and the space looks to be somewhat dedicated to the collection of eateries popping up over the last couple of months with many more to come.
The question is, how do you pronounce Pho? Logic would suggest 'Foe' like Phone but no, apparently it's 'Fuh' like this. But are we Mancunions going to pronounce it the correct way or Anglicise it? Imagine telling your colleagues at work that you're dining at what sounds like 'Fer' tonight? Of course we should try to get these things right to try and be culturally sensitive but there's no blanket rule. After all we don't pronounce Paris 'paree' like Parisians or Madrid like the Spanish do. Try ordering Spaghetti like an Italian and you will sound pretentious and affected.
Visited Monday. Kris was a brilliant waiter. If you have allergies then this is a brilliant option. Gluten, dairy, soy free options. Tuesday was a little less great service but not bad. I recommend the wings 🤤🤤🤤
We were undecided as to where to come for lunch this afternoon, but we are so glad we chose Pho! As soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly by Sean, the manager, and both himself and Julie delivered exceptional service throughout our stay. The food was delicious too, and considering this was our first time here, we will be sure to come back again soon! If you are looking for affordable "comfort food" and accommodating staff, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Fresh, flavourful food and a relaxed atmosphere for a weekday lunchtime. I had the wok-fried noodles with chicken and prawns. It was actually my first time trying Vietnamese food, and I was very impressed. Nice touch on the menu to explain how to pronounce "pho" as well! 🍜
I very much enjoyed my food at Pho. Best chicken curry I've had anywhere. My wife had the beef brisket noodle soup 🍜 and said it was delicious. Maybe more kids options would be good.
Restaurant interior design very nice, space clean and huge, atmosphere cozy, staff are helpful and friendly, food was ok.
These Girls Run / Pho event. Came here with the TGR girlie's after our 10k run, what a gorgeous afternoon. The food was delicious, I really enjoyed my Veggie Curry 👌🏼 and the Cripsy Spring rolls were lush also the 'Apple, mint & lime' juice was lovely too.
Thanks to our waitress Chelsea 👏🏼 Would highly recommend Pho ❤️
I know it’s a chain- but there’s a reason for it. Consistently good food. The pho spicy beef brisket is my favourite. It’s so flavoursome and packed full of ingredients. I like that they separate the bean sprouts, coriander and mint.
While my recent visit faced a bustling crowd, the waitress seemed a tad distant, and the service felt a bit sluggish. This, however, was a rare exception, and I overlooked the 12.5% discretionary service charge.
Always love the corn exchange. Ambiance is always good.
