“ Excellent Vietnamese restaurant in Ancoats, Manchester. The service was quick and the staff friendly. We ordered Salt and Pepper Squid as a starter and some Beef Pho soup as the main course, along with some Vietnamese coffee (cold). It was delicious, so I'll go back to try some Vietnamese desserts in the future ”

“ I’ve tried all of the Vietnamese restaurants close by and Pho No 1 tops the lot. I don’t know a great deal but good here tastes more homemade than the others. I tried the beef pho and fried noddles with chicken. Both excellent ”
“ Absolutely loved it. We was waiting for friends to come, whilst the waitress pushed us to order our food, it was in no way *rude* Excellent service and excellent food. Rare beef salad has too much beef!!! We added the salad from other food and mixed it into the salad which was so refreshing . Banh cuon the rice roll sheet must've been the thinnest I've ever had, so moorish. Not sure about the fried Vietnamese sausage. Rice Noodle main, had lots of veg, and little seafood... Didn't mind this at all. Overall food wasn't salty or filled with msg Vietnamese tea was excellent. Never had it before and the taste reminded me of pandan. Friends ordered rare beef pho and said the beef was so good and tender Banh xeo was also thin and crispy Highly recommend Loved the waitress straight up front approach ”
