Located centrally in Oxford, Pho delivers a vibrant, casual dining experience, and their rice dishes hold their own against the heavy-hitting noodle soups. The 3 Meat Combo Rice Bowl Built on a bed of traditional broken rice, which provides a lighter, distinctively textured grain that absorbs flavours wonderfully without becoming heavy. Heavily loaded with wok-fried Chinese leaf, crisp radish, cucumber, and house pickles. It's finished with a generous scattering of fresh herbs, crushed peanuts, and fresh red chillies that inject sharp brightness into every bite.  As a "3 meat combo," this dish brings together a mix of savory, chargrilled meats that offer a satisfying variety of textures and smoky depths, steering clear of the dry monotony that can plague mixed-protein dishes. Served with a side of nuoc cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce). Pouring this over the broken rice ties the elements together, balancing the richness of the meats with a sharp, sweet-and-sour tang.

Lovely food and immaculate service. Tea and coffee topped up almost without us asking and extra cream for scones brought to us without us needing to ask. Just a pity it was too cold to sit outside

    One of the best pub meals we’ve had in a long time. The sauce with the chicken schnitzel was amazing. Will definitely be returning.

    We was greeted when we arrived, it was 5pm and we were the only people in there. Food was nice tofu a little dry but overall enjoyable and a relaxed feeling. Staff were polite and friendly. Also realised from there adverts in there they also have a fun looking bingo night.
