Pho opens first store in Birmingham

Pho opened its first site in Birmingham at Grand Central at Birmingham New Street Station.

This is the 16th restaurant from the group, and the fourth outside London. The restaurant seats more than 90 diners and offers the brand's first ever ‘grab and go’ fridge. Along with their signature dish, Pho in Birmingham also serves Vietnamese street foods like spring and summer rolls, spicy salads, fragrant curries, and wok-fried noodles, as well as beers, coffees and fresh juices.

Stephen Wall, co-founder and owner of Pho, said, "Birmingham has always been right at the top of our list of cities to open Pho in as we grow out of London – it’s got a huge, diverse, young population – and we’re hoping that our food will appeal. The opportunity at Grand Central came along at exactly the right time and it is a fantastic new development in the heart of the city. So we’re fortunate that it was an obvious decision to make. If things go well it’s likely that we’ll look at a further site in the Birmingham at some point.”

Pho has 16 restaurants: 12 in London, one in Brighton, one in Leeds, one in Manchester and one in Birmingham.
