Com Pho Restaurant is a Vietnamese restaurant at 159 Whitecross Street, close to Old Street and the Barbican. The cosy dining room is built around traditional recipes, bold seasoning and friendly service. Its menu brings together street food snacks, restorative noodle soups and larger seafood dishes for lunch or an unhurried evening meal.
Starters include summer rolls, vegetable spring rolls, crisp breaded prawns and corn fed chicken wings glazed with caramelised fish sauce. Squid, king prawns or chicken wings can also be cooked with salt, chilli and fragrant seasoning. Tofu versions give vegetarian diners the same combination of a crisp exterior and soft centre.
Pho is served in a fragrant chicken or beef broth with flat rice noodles, with beef, chicken, prawns or a mixed selection available. Spicy Hue soup balances heat, sourness, salt and sweetness with the aroma of lemongrass. Tom yum seafood soup offers another lively bowl and can be paired with rice vermicelli or yellow noodles.
La Vong grilled fish combines monkfish with dill, turmeric and prawn paste, accompanied by fish sauce, rice vermicelli and peanuts. Crisp sea bass can be finished with salted chilli or mango fish sauce for a generous main course. Salted chilli tofu, tofu summer rolls and vegetable spring rolls round out a menu that gives both seafood and plant based dishes clear attention.
