Absolutely amazing. I had pho house and it was incredible. Staff are very helpful and understanding. There are only 2 things on the menu that weren’t gluten free which was amazing. Just note portion sizes and very big. Would definitely come back.

I’ve been to the London location as well but this was my first time at the St James location. Almost every thing is GF, and if you let them know you’re celiac they’ll ensure extra precaution is taken to make sure none of the gluten-containing items in the kitchen come near your food. Really good pho for a cold day!

They were very knowledgable about which items were safe or unsafe for coeliac people, but the safe/unsafe items were not marked on the venue. Have eaten here plenty of times and never had any issues!

Ordered delivery from here twice, as they were one of the few places that marked things well in the app. First order was perfect; second was definitely GF but they put real chicken in my papaya salad instead of the GF soy chicken 😭. That said, everything I had from them (including the GF faux prawn vegan crackers) was super tasty, and their menu is so clear about what contains what. Definitely an enjoyable and safe place for me, especially for delivery.

Seemed very allergen-knowledgable but I got sick after eating here. I believe this was due to a misunderstanding of the contamination from their vegan chicken alternative. Reached out to the restaurant to inform them and had my email passed around and then ignored. They did not want to deal with the issue or fix their labelling of the chicken at all. Unsafe.

Excellent meal, all gluten free except spring rolls and no dairy in sight. Asked on way in about allergies. Had the pork and lemongrass balls for starters and braised steak curry and rice. They also have cauliflower rice but had run out. Would like to go back again

Amazing! Almost everything on this menu is gf. Literally right now only 1 thing is not. Flavors are fresh and you can season to taste with accompaniments. Highly recommend especially on a cold night.

Most of the menu is gluten free, including all of their pho dishes. Only a few non-gf dishes which are clearly marked on the menu. Lovely food!

Everything but 2 dishes are GF and we were asked about allergies right away! The pho is great but the veggie summer rolls and chicken wings were the clear winner for our celiac teen.

I loved my experience at Pho. I went for dinner, and I was informed most dishes are gluten free, and they can be made egg and dairy free. The taste was incredible, I ordered wok fried rice noodles with beef (pho xao) which I then tried to recreate at home with no avail! The staff is super knowledgeable, as if all of them know all about food allergies, and the restaurant vibe is super friendly. It was a random discovery while I was looking for something to swallow quickly before entering the cinema.

Can’t say enough positive things about Pho. We were asked about allergies before seating. They are super knowledgeable, friendly and careful about your experience. Almost everything is naturally gluten free. In fact so much of the menu is GF that they put an asterisk next to the items that DO contain gluten on the menu. I Almost ordered something with gluten and they called me on it. They are certified by the UK coeliac group.

Food was delish!

Amazing place for allergies. More than most items on the menu are gluten free, and those that are not are indicated with an asterisk. The staff are really helpful with detour requirements and as I am also allergic to gluten and a veggie, there is so much to offer me on both starters and mains. Some options for desert but not a crazy amount for myself with my strict diet, but more choices than just sorbet.
