I Am Pho Reviews

It’s definitely a no frills/no fuss Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered the: 🥢 bun bo hue (spicy beef vermicelli noodle soup) 🥢bun rieu cua (crab noodle soup) 🥢pho bo (beef noodle soup) 🥢ech xao sa ot (chilli and lemongrass frogs legs) 🥢 prawn salad 🥢crispy chicken wings 🥢sweet and spicy chicken wings 🥢banh mi with the bbq pork skewers (off menu) 🥢iced coffee You definitely need to add sriracha/chilli oil/hoisin sauce/lime/fish sauce to your own preferences (not just here but every Vietnamese place you go to). I’m a bun bo hue fan as it’s not something I ever eat at home so I always like to eat it outside! Extra spicy please. The frogs legs were *chef’s kiss”, light, crispy, hint of chilli and lemongrass paired with the sweet chilli dip 😩. It is such a moreish dish. Frogs legs have a very similar texture to chicken so I’d definitely recommend getting these. Both the chicken wing dishes were great, the batter is light so the chicken is crispy, not crunchy, and lightly seasoned. The sweet and chilli ones is for those of you who love fish sauce! It’s not over powering at all and complementary of the sweet and spicy flavours. Chicken done WELL. If you do not like fish sauce, politely, this is not for you. The banh mi was so tasty, the baguette was light and crispy and the inside was fluffy (not dense like a French baguette). It would’ve been better with a bit more of the meat filling but otherwise everything else was great. The pickled veg was still crunchy and adds a nice “sour” contrast to the bbq pork skewers. Add sriracha for spice and you have yourself a perfect banh mi. Whatever you do, make sure you get the salad - don’t say I didn’t put you on.
