Halal Reviews for Pho Cue

An excellent choice when you’re craving authentic Viet cuisine. The vibe is modern in a casual/trendy setting. The food is excellent and paired with fantastic service, you cannot go wrong here. Portions are good and prices are reasonable. A must try when you’re in Chinatown.

Pho Cue is positioned as a mid-to-low-end Vietnamese restaurant. The flavor is average, but the prices are indeed low. The beef soup is just so-so, and the side dishes only included bean sprouts and small chili peppers—it’s the first time I’ve seen a Vietnamese restaurant that didn’t serve basil. There’s not much worth commenting on; the food isn’t exactly tasty, but it’s not unpleasant either! Overall, it matches its mid-to-low pricing, so there’s really nothing much to complain about.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, as everyone has different tastes. However, this experience was genuinely disappointing and concerning. We ordered Bun bo Hue and bun rieu, and unfortunately what was served was not Vietnamese food at all. The flavours, appearance, and ingredients were completely incorrect and bore no resemblance to these dishes. Anyone familiar with Vietnamese cuisine would immediately recognise that these were not authentic versions. I understand that restaurants may adapt flavours for a wider audience, but changing a dish to the point where it no longer represents what it claims to be is misleading. If you are advertising traditional Vietnamese dishes, there should at least be some respect for their core ingredients and preparation. Very disappointing, especially for customers expecting genuine Vietnamese cuisine. As a Vietnamese person, I can confidently confirm that these dishes were not Vietnamese dishes at all.

Pho Cue’s food is super heart warming and tasty. Their garlic butter chicken is a must try, seasoning is just right! The Vietnamese coffee is superb. Summer rolls with avocado and tofu is quite a healthy bite with a yummy dip sauce. Special Pho is light for the tummy and flavourful. We will visit again next time to try other foods in the menu.

We ordered a classic ribeye beef pho, a special pho, and a summer roll. Each pho was generous in portion and tasted good. It's a great place to go after get off work.
