Steaming pho is served up swiftly in colourful ceramic bowls in a spacious environment of green wood and yellow brickwork. Emoi does a brisk trade and it's not surprising – the pho chin (rice noodles in a beef broth) is lip-smackingly good and there's an English photo menu. Add the plates of chilli and pickled garlic to taste.
