Pho Covent Garden is a Vietnamese restaurant at 65A Long Acre, close to the theatres, shops and transport links of central London. It serves lunch and dinner every day, with bookable tables as well as space kept for walk ins.
Pho, the Vietnamese rice noodle soup, is the restaurant’s defining dish. Different broths, proteins and vegetable combinations allow diners to choose a bowl that suits them, with fresh herbs and table condiments making it possible to adjust flavour and heat as they eat.
The menu also includes fragrant curries, rice bowls, wok fried rice noodles and vermicelli dishes. Chargrilled meat, seafood, tofu and plant based alternatives appear across these sections, while spring rolls, salads and crispy baby squid provide smaller plates to begin or share.
Healthy juices, beer, wine and cocktails accompany the food, and a children’s selection makes the restaurant practical for families. The focus on filling bowls and quickly served dishes works well for a pre theatre meal, but the breadth of sides and drinks also supports a more relaxed shared dinner.
Address: 65A Long Acre, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9JD, England
