Pho Battersea is a Vietnamese restaurant at 50 to 52 Battersea Rise, close to Clapham Junction. The casual dining room serves lunch and dinner every day, with food cooked on site from ingredients delivered fresh. Its menu is designed around aromatic broths, herbs, rice and noodles, with a large proportion of dishes suitable for gluten free diets.
Starters include crisp spring rolls, fresh summer rolls, baby squid, seafood rolls, beef wrapped in betel leaf and Vietnamese pancakes. Morning glory and Chinese leaf are wok cooked with garlic, soy and optional chilli. These dishes introduce the balance of crisp texture, fragrant herbs, savoury dipping sauces, lime and fresh heat that runs through the menu.
Pho remains the centrepiece, served as rice noodles in broth with herbs and table condiments that allow each guest to adjust the final flavour. Chicken, steak, brisket, meatballs, prawns, mushrooms and tofu appear in different bowls. House specials and curry noodle soups add richer or more complex alternatives to the classic combinations.
The wider choice includes Vietnamese curries with rice, fresh vermicelli bowls, wok cooked flat noodles and rice bowls topped with grilled meat, tofu or vegetables. Salads and vegan recipes provide lighter routes, while children have a dedicated selection. Fresh juices, Vietnamese coffee, beer, wine and cocktails such as the mint and lime Phojito complete the experience.
