Pho Liverpool Bold Street is a Vietnamese restaurant at 79 Bold Street in the city’s Ropewalks district. The roughly 85 seat dining room mixes counters, booths and benches with artwork inspired by Vietnamese street scenes. Its informal setup suits quick lunches, family meals and relaxed dinners.
Pho noodle soup is the defining dish, with beef, chicken, seafood and vegetable broths supporting a wide variety of toppings. The menu also includes fresh and crispy spring rolls, salads, curries, rice bowls, vermicelli and wok fried noodles. Herbs, lime, chilli and table condiments let diners adjust freshness and heat as they eat.
Food is cooked to order on site from ingredients delivered daily, without a central kitchen. Vegan choices are extensive, and most of the main menu is gluten free with Coeliac UK accreditation. Guests with allergies should still read the detailed current guide and tell every staff member serving their table.
Fresh juices, Vietnamese coffee and tea sit alongside cocktails, beer and wine. A children’s menu introduces younger diners to noodles and milder flavours. Pho Liverpool Bold Street offers a colourful, flexible route through Vietnamese street food with particular strength in aromatic broths and dietary choice.
Address: 79 Bold Street, Liverpool L1 4HF, United Kingdom
