We've given the Pho menu the WeightWatchers® treatment!
Published 9 December, 2019

Chopsticks at the ready! We take a look at the Pho menu...

Love Asian food? Then you need to try Pho (pronounced ‘foe’). Featuring delicious Vietnamese street food bursting with exotic herbs & spices, the Pho menu is packed with flavour and choice. 

Unsurprisingly, their signature dish is pho (pronounced ‘fuh’), a rice noodle soup served with a side of herbs and condiments. Add chilli paste for a spicy kick, fish sauce for extra saltiness, or garlic vinegar for tangy sourness - it's up to you!

With many healthy and low-fat dishes to choose from, there's something for everyone. Whether you've saved your weeklies for a special occasion, or you receive a last-minute invite, there are plenty of Points®-friendly options to suit all Budgets. Plus, 25% of the Pho menu is vegan - great news for people following a plant-based diet or anyone doing Veganuary!

Starters

Starters on the Pho menu are all about dipping, rolling and sharing. Try a classic, veggie CHẢ GIÒ (crispy spring rolls served with lettuce & herbs to wrap & dip) for 11 Points® (P).

Like your seafood? Then get your taste buds going with MỰC CHIÊN GIÒN (tender fried baby squid with a salt, pepper & lime dip) for 7P per portion.

Looking for something really light in Points®? CUỐN DIEP CHAY (the spicy salad rolls with enoki, chilli & herbs) comes to only 1P per portion.

In the mood for sharing? Why not share the CÁNH GÀ (seasoned, crispy chicken wings served with sriracha) with a friend? That way, you also share the Points®at 8P per half a portion.

Mains

Pho

This national Vietnamese dish is perfect for helping beat those winter blues. What could be more comforting than a steaming bowl of hot rice noodle soup (broth), served with a side of herbs and condiments?

  • PHỞ NẤM RƠM (enoki, shiitake & button mushrooms in veggie broth) 8P
  • PHỞ GÀ (chicken breast in chicken broth) 8P
  • PHỞ TÁI (thinly sliced steak in beef broth) 7P
  • PHỞ TÔM (king prawns in veggie broth) 8P

Broken rice

This dish is a real mix of curries, wok fried rice, and rice bowls, all of which come topped with fresh veggies and chilli.

Some sit at the higher end of your Points® Budget, like the CÀ-RI dishes. For example the CÀ-RI chicken (a rich, fragrant Vietnamese curry) is yours for 27P.

Looking to go a little easier on your Budget? The CƠM TẤM ĐẶC BIỆT TOFU (rice bowl topped with loads of veg & herbs) is 17P. Our top tip: swap the rice for cauliflower rice to bring the Points® value down to 6P.

Wok-noodles

Yummy flat noodles cooked in a wok? Yes please! At Pho they're served with veggies, protein, and come topped with peanuts and beanshoots. Try the PHỞ XÀO CHICKEN for 11P or the PHỞ XÀO TOFU & MUSHROOM for 17P.

Bún

If you like the sound of vermicelli rice noodles with a lemongrass and chilli wok-fried topping, go for the bún. It's served with fresh herbs, beansprouts, veggie spring roll and peanuts - delicious!

  • BÚN CHICKEN 7P

  • BÚN TOFU & MUSHROOM 9P

  • BÚN BEEF 8P

  • BÚN KING PRAWN 6P

Salad

Looking for something lighter, but still want an authentic Vietnamese flavour hit? Try Pho's salads - they're packed with vibrant, crispy, colourful vegetables and added protein (if you wish). They'll definitely change the way you view your 'normal' leafy salad.

  • GÒI GÀ (shredded chicken salad with Vietnamese herbs, peppers and a chilli ginger dressing) 4P

  • GÒI CHAY (veggie salad with Asian herbs, peppers & a chilli ginger dressing) 4P

  • GỎI ĐU ĐỦ ( vegan chicken salad with Vietnamese herbs, peppers, peanuts and a chilli ginger dressing) 3P

Sides

Fancy a little something extra on the side? Or perhaps something to share? Add one or two of these sides to make a great addition to your meal.

  • CÁI THÁO XÁO (stir fried Chinese leaf in soy sauce) 2P

  • BÁNH PHỒNG TÔM (prawn crackers with sweet chilli sauce) 9P
