Best Vietnamese food in Manchester! Family friendly - we like to take our two little toddlers out to eat and struggle to find somewhere sometimes that keeps us all happy but we feel right at home at iampho - they even put Peppa pig on the tv for us if they are not busy. Catered for us adults (starters are amazing) and healthy pho for the kids too! Staff are always polite and friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Always leave with a full stomach (sometimes a banh mi for breakfast) and a smile on our faces! P.s must try Vietnamese ice coffee - the best!
We visited Manchester a few days ago and had lunch on arrival. The service was friendly and the food arrived promptly. We liked the atmosphere too - clean and crisp decor and nice and cool on what was a very hot day. The Summer Rolls were delicious and we also tried the frogs legs (I was a bit hesitant at first but they were very tasty!) The Pho was excellent, a good sized portion and again delicious. Overall excellent value all round and we'll be visiting again!
Awesome Pho! Good choice of starters, also do great baguettes. Great service too.
Fabulous for lunch and a pop in meal
Veggie pho is the best
Absolutely excellent. First time. Will be back x
Best food in Manchester! ! Fresh and clean :-)
Great food
We got the summer rolls and the beef pho, and all the food was great. They have huge portions and prices aren’t high at all. The interior is a bit sad, but the food is worth the visit.
pretty awesome place to have a meal, specially in cold days like these. we ate two different pho types, one with pork and shrimps and the other only with chicken. both were very good. the service was ridiculously efficient. we arrived, asked and 5 minutes later they brought our food. totally recommend.
Second time in less than 24 hours! The pho is well worth another visit. Family now addicted to the pho. Never fails to satisfy. Service quick and efficient.
Elli from Melb. Though the layout feels similar to that of a school cafeteria this is to be expected at most viet Pho places (in Footscray, VIC, Australia anyway especially). Having convinced some not over eager friends to eat there everyone was pleasantly surprised at the deliciousness of Pho, and the attentive nature of the staff, having lived in melbourne surrounded by Pho I am overjoyed to find a traditional viet restaurant again that sells it. Will be making many a trip back there.
I knew I Am Pho was going to be a pretty no-frills type of place but us Morrises don't mind this one jot. It was all very clean and spick and span. I particularly like the musical tiles in the toilets. As us Morrises are all such fans of the Vietnamese summer rolls we knew without even looking at the menu that we were going to be getting a portion of those, but there was such a good selection of interesting starters at I Am Pho that we decided to order three different ones and share. This sharing lark is a dangerous game in the Morris family as you have to be quick like a cat, but it was

One of the foods I love as much as noodles are condiments and so I made sure that I was sat next to them so I could caress them when nobody was looking.
tarting with ‘Nom Goi’, a Vietnamese salad available with a number of toppings including beef jerky, prawns and chicken which we opted for. This is my kind of salad, full of flavour and texture. Crunchy, fresh and very tasty with a good balance of acidic lemon and salty fish sauce. The chicken was succulent and a generous portion, with the addition of Sriracha from the brilliant selection of condiments it was perfect.
I Am Pho is Chinatown’s only Vietnamese restaurant (café). It serves a simple menu of Vietnamese ‘street food’ favourites including Phở, Bánh Cuốn, Bún, Hủ Tiếu, Nộm, Gỏi and Bánh mì – basically all that is good!
Unfortunately central Manchester’s not blessed with the type of small Jewish deli where chicken noodle soup; but what we do have is I Am Pho, a Vietnamese restuarant/cafe repleat with large bowls of savoury warming soup noodles. And believe me Pho is as good of a cure as chicken soup for anything, even hangovers!
Delicious food and reasonable prices. Very friendly staff is always happy to advice on food and drinks and can help with any query.

It’s definitely a no frills/no fuss Vietnamese restaurant.
We ordered the:
🥢 bun bo hue (spicy beef vermicelli noodle soup)
🥢bun rieu cua (crab noodle soup)
🥢pho bo (beef noodle soup)
🥢ech xao sa ot (chilli and lemongrass frogs legs)
🥢 prawn salad
🥢crispy chicken wings
🥢sweet and spicy chicken wings
🥢banh mi with the bbq pork skewers (off menu)
🥢iced coffee
You definitely need to add sriracha/chilli oil/hoisin sauce/lime/fish sauce to your own preferences (not just here but every Vietnamese place you go to). I’m a bun bo hue fan as it’s not something I ever eat at home so I always like to eat it outside! Extra spicy please.
The frogs legs were *chef’s kiss”, light, crispy, hint of chilli and lemongrass paired with the sweet chilli dip 😩. It is such a moreish dish. Frogs legs have a very similar texture to chicken so I’d definitely recommend getting these.
Both the chicken wing dishes were great, the batter is light so the chicken is crispy, not crunchy, and lightly seasoned. The sweet and chilli ones is for those of you who love fish sauce! It’s not over powering at all and complementary of the sweet and spicy flavours. Chicken done WELL. If you do not like fish sauce, politely, this is not for you.
The banh mi was so tasty, the baguette was light and crispy and the inside was fluffy (not dense like a French baguette). It would’ve been better with a bit more of the meat filling but otherwise everything else was great. The pickled veg was still crunchy and adds a nice “sour” contrast to the bbq pork skewers. Add sriracha for spice and you have yourself a perfect banh mi.
Whatever you do, make sure you get the salad - don’t say I didn’t put you on.
A very decent comfort restaurant!
Their pho was to die for, especially on those rainy cold days. The vegetable spring roll was also scrumptious with a proper amount of vegetables. They have plenty choices of sauces from Hoisin, Sriracha, vinegar, and many more to enhance the flavor of your pho soup. The others ordered hot tea and tap water while I had their cranberry juice as I wanted something fresh to close my palate from the flavorful pho.
The place was perfect for a group of friends or family and the service was great whilst the staff was friendly and agile. Keep up the good work!
Portions of pho are huge and very tasty. Fresh food. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Had the wanton pho. Keep coming back here. Highly recommended.
this restaurant is perfect for a family or friend get together, they have lots of seating and delicious food. i appreciate that their menu is relatively short, they know what they’re good at and they don’t complicate it. great vegan options, this was the perfect thing for a cold day.
This food really hit the spot after a long train ride on a rainy day. Service was quick and efficient, food came pretty fast after ordering. The pho was super delicious, salad was very refreshing and flavorful. Price was very reasonable too.
Really liked the vibe here, casual and cosy atmosphere. We ordered summer rolls and standard pho dishes, great prices, recommend coming here.
We always return, the atmosphere is renewed, the waiters are very friendly...the food is very good...I was surprised today to find out that they use chicken raised with corn It's a luxury
If you want a great Pho come here. A chill basic eating setup but worth it for an authentic Pho.
Crowded. Went there during CNY. Me and my friend had one noodles as the portion is big. The spring roll is new experience for me.
Can absolutely recommend! Great food, very nice staff and pretty decorations. The vegetarian bun bo hue and summer rolls were so delicious! The portions were big, almost too big for me though, but can’t complain. The food came quickly and was very authentic. you could tell it’s a good restaurant, because many locals were there. You definitely should give it a go!
Multiple choice, portion a bit more however I enjoyed it, Pho soup delicious, atmosphere great!
Came here with a friend and it was my first time visiting. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was tasty. The presentation of the food was ace. Would definitely like to return to this place. The only downside was that the interior was quite dated and the tables/cutlery looked old and broken. They should invest in a refurb.
Been there multiple times it never disappoints. Wonderful food
Best Pho in Manchester, one of the best that I’ve had around the world so far in my travels! (experienced nearly 100 phos across the world). The food is very fairly priced, quick service and tasted amazing.
Thumbs up for I am Pho. Appreciate how they make the dishes looking properly plated, taste pretty good, Have to shout out for this, The soup for the rice vermicelli and thick noodles is very delicious and even better than we expected it would be. The food tastes very well, and freshly made. Overall, We enjoy the time being.
I recently visited "I Am Pho" and I was thoroughly impressed. The restaurant is an authentic Vietnamese spot, with affordable prices and huge portions of delicious "Pho Bo Tai" (thinly sliced raw beef cooked in its own broth) I was also impressed by their "Nem Cuon Tom" (summer rolls with prawns) - they were delicious and packed with flavor. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great - they played great hip-hop, pop music, which gave the place a fun and lively vibe. Overall, I highly recommend "I Am Pho" for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Vietnamese dining experience.
The food is so good with big portions, the dipping sauce for the fresh spring rolls is just a bit too sweet. The staffs are so friendly and attentive. What we love is that they serve also the fried frogs! That’s dope!
