Let’s be honest. When you are reading reviews for Vietnamese food, the voices you should lean on are the Asian diners who grew up with the cuisine. I live in New York and grew up in Australia, and anyone who knows Australian Vietnamese food knows it is second only to Vietnam itself. The United States has a handful of excellent spots scattered across the country, but they are rare, and New York in particular is a Vietnamese food wasteland with only a couple of places that even come close. By day three in Europe the craving for Asian food usually hits, and for most of us that craving is Pho. My hotel was a short walk from Pho Hanoi and the moment I saw that it is owned and operated by Vietnamese people I stopped searching. That is the universal green light. I came for a bowl of pho and it was so comforting and authentic that I returned again the next day. My go to order at any pho shop is the Pho Dac Biet, the full combination bowl with multiple cuts of beef and beef balls. This version does not include tripe, but considering we are in Amsterdam that is forgivable. The broth follows the lighter northern style which I personally prefer, clean and aromatic with a steady depth that comes from proper long simmering rather than shortcuts. Most importantly they use fresh rice noodles with that silky texture that dried noodles can never replicate. The fresh summer rolls are made to order and tightly wrapped with good structure and balance. The Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk was strong and exactly what I needed. The space also has WiFi and wall outlets which is a blessing for anyone traveling. This place is an absolute oasis. It hits all the essentials of proper Vietnamese cooking and delivers exactly the kind of comfort you want while traveling.

Food is the best. A bit expensive 18euro but the Pho is huge. Theres a lot of people and since the place is small. Good thing we had the last available table when we arrive but you might expect to wait for a table as this is popular. A nice warm soup in a cold weather is always the best.

Very affordable Vietnamese cuisine that are not only authentic but also delicious. Portion are generous and prices are pocket friendly. Staff are friendly and always with a smile to serve you. Seating might be an issue during peak hours and they did ran out of banh mi when we visited in the late afternoon. Perhaps good to check before hand.

Oh this place is a good one! Been here when I visited Amsterdam and got hungry...One of the best choices I made! Though it's lacking aesthetic appealing, this place is amazing! I have tried the Beef Pho which came to my surprise as a huge portion alongside with chillies, lemons and coriander....It's one of those places in which the food makes you feel like home and the cozy atmosphere is nonetheless there! Great place with very friendly and honest staff! Would truly recommend this gem to anyone!

Came here earlier today for the first time and was blown away by the fantastic service - friendly, fast and the food was made fresh! I had the Chicken Summer Rolls for only €7, which is very well priced for the Central area of the city. The meal was light, beautifully balanced and served with a delicious chilli vinaigrette. I can’t wait to come back and try other options on their menu. Thank you so much to the whole Pho Hanoi team!

The place is a bright (maybe too bright), fluorescent light box on a cute side street surrounded by many colorful shops. If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s worth a stroll. The Pho broth itself lacked depth of flavor and the sliced beef was pretty average. The service was good and the food arrived quickly. The price (€14-17) is in the middle in the Amsterdam Pho world. Overall, I would give it a 3.5. This all for now.

Perfect spot on a cute street. The pho was incredible and perfectly portioned meal. Quick service and the tea was really good too. Perfect broth for a chilly day.
