Very reasonable indeed – who knew you could dine out for two on under £15!! Especially in Westfields. Pho is by far one of the better restaurants on the balcony and would definitely return if I was ever in the area!
Quick (even though very popular so has a massive queue!), friendly and helpful, though bland pad thai.
While it has a fantastic selection, I've been here 3 times or so, and everything tastes the same. Save yourself some cash, hit Chop Chop noodle bar around the corner on Shepherd's Bush green.
Arriving at Westfields for a bit of retail therapy, our grumbling tummies led us towards the busy food haul on the first floor.The range of restaurants can be a bit overwhelming, but on a recommendation, I headed to Pho.
Fans of Wagamama will appreciate the selection of noodle based dishes and soups. I chose the king prawn based noodles, complete with side salad and crumbled peanuts. The food was fast, tasty, budget friendly (change from a tenner was gratefully received)
For tasty fast food, Pho is a must-visit
Awesome noodle soup in the surprisingly pleasant Westfield shopping centre. Discovered this place when we were travelling up the escalators to the Pizza Express to use some voucher or other. The smell drifting from the bowls below was too good to avoid though.
They serve good summer rolls, vietnamese coffee and a selection of south east asian beers as well - not least Beer Lao which is great
The soup here is always fresh, light and filling - though the beef pho was much tastier than the chicken - and the spring rolls are crispy and yum. The fresh fruit juice is lovely and it amounts to a really good lunch when you are hungry from all that shopping. Only downsides are that sometimes the line is long and the staff can be a bit rude, and also it is a bit pricey and nothing like as rich as more authentic food. worth a try though…
This is what fast food should be about, and what makes it so great is that it’s so fresh and clean and you don’t feel like your arteries are getting furry.
Fast, quick food that, in my opinion, is the pick of all the outlets in the food court at Westfield. There is always a long queue during the weekends and lunchtimes, so best to try during an offpeak hour!
The noodle soups were quite good, although not as good as the authentic stuff in the Vietnamese restaurants near Old Street. The spring rolls were very filling, but it lacked any taste or spice, but was full of veggies so definitely a healthy option.
I really like the big bowel noodles here.The shop was well maintained and the service was fast.It was really nice to have some nice food when you were tired after shopping for hours.The soup with the noodle was very nice and you would feel much better after the light lunch.High recommended in the westfield shopping center for food.
More good “street food” from Westfield, this time Vietnamese. As other reviewers have said, you have to wait for the meal (today there was a long queue as well) but it’s certainly worth the wait.
Extremely fresh tasting food which is made to order, with side dishes of sauce at various levels of spicyness. The summer rolls really tasted like summer, which was quite an achievement for a winter’s day in Westfield shopping centre.
I wasn’t feeling adventurous enough for the weasel coffee “a rare coffee regurgitated by wild Vietnamese weasels”. I came over a bit Catherine Tate when I saw that. “Coffee, regurgitated by weasels, and this was Shepherd’s Bush. Dirty B’stards” ;-)
But instead had a freshly made carrot, apple and ginger juice which balanced the spicy meal really well.
A giant big bowl of fresh, tasty and very satisfying Bun noodles was exactly what I needed after a hard day’s shopping.
They have a great selection of rice-noodle soups, stir fry noodles and interesting-looking salads - all freshly made to order, which does mean a bit of a wait at peak times (20 minutes on Sat eve) but well worth it!
Their freshly pressed juices (e.g. apple, mint and lime) are excellent and if you’re feeling adventurous, try the weasel coffee.
(apparently, it’s correctly pronounced like the “fu” in fun)
The food is nice, albeit slightly corporate and not as Vietnamese-y as you’d like. the environment is nice, and the presentation is acceptable. However, at the end of the day, you’re still eating inside a shopping centre!
