Vietnamese · Bristol
Bristol's pho crowd swears by this place, and the food backs it up — house pho with a clear, rich broth and generously piled tender beef, lemongrass chicken curry that arrives in a huge, properly spiced portion, and bao buns people rave about, especially the beef and the satay. Portions are big enough that one bowl fills you right up. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, so smaller eaters are covered. Be warned: it's tight inside, with tables packed close, so a pram will be a squeeze and it isn't somewhere to linger. It's cash only and you'll want to book ahead by phone or WhatsApp. Service is quick and friendly even when busy — in and out within the hour, one family noted, which suits restless children. Finish with the sweet, strong iced Vietnamese coffee.
