Why Concert-goers love it

Pho Soho is a go-to for music fans thanks to its super-convenient location—just minutes from iconic venues and theatres. With quick service and a menu built for sharing or solo dining, it’s ideal for grabbing a bite before the show. The casual, upbeat vibe means you can come as you are—no need to dress up—and still enjoy a satisfying, flavour-packed meal without missing your curtain call.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, low-key spot to fuel up before a gig

What People Say

Guests rave about the speedy service, even when it’s busy, and the quality of the food, especially the signature pho and fresh summer rolls. Many reviewers note the restaurant's affordability and central location as major pluses. The casual vibe and no-reservations policy also make it a favourite for spontaneous pre-show meals.

Areas for Improvement

Because of its popularity and compact layout, Pho Soho can get pretty crowded and noisy during peak times—especially before evening shows. Seating is limited, so be prepared for a short wait or to share a table. It’s also not ideal if you're looking for a drawn-out, relaxed dining experience.

The Bottom Line

If you're after fast, flavourful Vietnamese food just steps from Soho’s best concert spots, Pho Soho is a top pick for a quick and tasty pre- or post-show meal.
