"Very good portions. Good quality proteins, particularly the rare beef and roast chicken Pho. Tender, pre roasting the chicken is clever, it’s tender And the satay chicken skewers. Yum. Lovely and fast staff and worthy of a great review. I’ll be back for sure. Fabulous work peeps."

"After visiting a shop nearby for my daughter, we decided to eat at Rock Pho a few doors down and were so glad we did. The rare beef and brisket pho was delicious and full of flavour, and the crispy pork banh mi was also very good. Food came out quickly and the atmosphere was relaxed. Such a great unexpected find on Chapel Street. Highly recommend if you’re in the area — we’ll definitely be back."

"Very solid! Pretty short walk from the station through SY, lots of lovely places on the way but worth going the extra mile. Decent prices, good food, fast service from lovely staff. They have a good range of drinks and a nice vibe too. As a vegetarian looking for some quality food it didn't disappoint!"

"Friendly staff and good vibe here. The pho was amazing and the portion is generous. The 2 pieces of spring roll was big enough to be a small meal. Sweet Vietnamese iced coffee for the finish."
