    The signature bun cha is delicious. The accompanying sauce is tangy, vegetables are fresh and crunchy. The fried spring rolls are light and crispy. The textures were just amazing and a symphony and flavours! Very cooling and airy restaurant. A hidden gem in the West side.

    Really disappointed with meal here. Also disappointed with owners response – why not accept failings which are obvious from the pictures rather than blaming customer! Shame manager wasn’t present but on reading response not sure how would have helped. Rival accusation is frankly rediculous and slightly embarrassing! Pham Quyen restaurant did seduce us with lovely looking baguettes in the window and we relished the prospect of some pho and banh mi. Sadly despite the numerous baguettes and cooked chicken on display (see photo) was informed that as there was only one chef the restaurant had stopped any orders. I mean seriously no one else other than the head chef could put together the sandwich. The mood wasn’t helped by the 45 min wait for a bowl of average pho and minimal beef, which I was told was down to a very large online order. I think this place would benefit from prioritising customers in the restaurant and cutting down the menu to banh mi and pho – seems odd to me that ever since the old manager left they have decided to extend the menu. Would like to say that this is a one off but had a similar experience. A few weeks ago! Not sure will be back especially after reading mangers new comments !!

    This restaurant is not located at a strategic place so idk how they survive but the food here is mediocre.
