Not an expert but the place looked pretty authentic to me. Food was great especially for the price. Nice to still have some place where we can eat good food for ~£10 with a table!

Went here for a midnight snack. 

Pretty crowded with drunk people but what to expect? Service was good and food was good :). Apperantely you are allowed to bring your own wine which explains part of the drunk people lol.

Homie taste not salty broth
Great quality beef
Rapid service

- personable staff
- one dimensional broth left something to be desired, decent but missing a lot of the fragrant notes/flavor that you'd normally expect from pho (star anise, etc) 
- very broad noodles (almost like chinese ho fun)
- viet iced coffee was extremely sweet, the espresso flavor seemed to be an afterthought
- reasonable pricing for the area but more expensive than NYC

Fantastic Vietnamese and the atmosphere after 8pm is wicked. Love it here. I used to come here many years ago with an ex-friend and it was always a place we ended up after a few drinks staying until gone 1am. It's a BYO which not only makes it cheap but also makes a brilliant atmosphere. 

If your in London and staying in central London defiantly come here for some late nights get chow and live like a local.

Pretty good Vietnamese food in a cluster of Vietnamese restaurants in Shoreditch.  The porkchop with lemongrass was tender and I liked how they sliced the meat.  The pho was not so great -- the broth was a bit bland and lacked depth.  

Still it was nice to have more textures and flavors after a bit too much soft and bland British food.

I honestly never fathomed that the best pho I would try would be in the UK. I've had no real reason to visit UK other than the fact that I want to come back to this restaurant, it's that good. I got the pho noodle soup and salt and pepper squid. The pho had depth and uniqueness in flavors that made it a standout and one of my favorites if not the favorite of the pho soups I've tried. The salt and pepper squid has a chewy texture from the tapioca flour (I'm guessing is an ingredient) and is garnished with fresh orange slices which complement the dish so well. I also loved the fried shrimp crackers that come as a free appetizer while your meal is being prepared. I can't wait to come back and eat this same meal again one day. Highly recommend.

Had grilled chicken sate and tofu appetizer. Very good food here.

My friend brought me here, it's quite popular, it was pretty packed when I got there last Saturday. I hate that the tables are all right next to each other, you are gonna be legit right next to your neighbor...The tables by the door is cold! Just when someone opens the door, the service is nice. The fresh rolls (shrimp and pork) was good, but smaller than what i'm used to at home. I got the sliced beef and beef ball pho.. It was fine, I guess this is good in london's eye. There are two floors, and upstairs was also filled. You might have to wait if you come a bit later...like around dinner time... The fried calamari i had was aite, could have been more flavorful. BYOB!! wooo.

Good price for pho.
