Pho Ta Finchley Road is a Vietnamese restaurant at 2 Canfield Gardens in South Hampstead. The relaxed dining room serves both eat-in and takeaway customers, with fresh ingredients and fragrant broths at the centre of its approach.
Pho is the signature choice, pairing rice noodles with an aromatic broth and a selection of fresh garnishes or extras. A vegetable version provides an alternative to meat-based bowls, while the house special offers a more expansive take on the classic soup.
Bun cha brings together charcoal-grilled pork belly and meatballs with white rice vermicelli, pickles and fresh herbs. The contrast between smoky meat, cool noodles, sharp vegetables and leafy aromatics captures the balance that characterises much of the menu.
The restaurant welcomes reservations and opens throughout the week, making it practical for lunch or an evening meal. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients, broth bases and preparation procedures with staff before ordering.
Address: 2 Canfield Gardens, South Hampstead, London NW6 3BS, England
