A Vietnamese place near Oxford Circus Station in Fitzrovia. This place recently (March 2008) opened as a branch from the original restaurant in Clerkenwell.
From evidence of an April 2008 visit, the place fills up quickly at lunchtime. There are places for about 30-40 upstairs, with tables closely packed in. They have a downstairs eating area, but it seemed as if they weren't using it.
Service is efficient, they were happy to amend an order to remove mushrooms, and the kitchen staff showed particular attention when bringing the food to explain how to eat it. The bowls of pho we ordered came with a plate of various fresh herbs (such as coriander), chilli, bean sprouts and lime which could be added as desired. There were also unmarked containers of sauce on the table for extra flavour.
The pho was plentiful and some other diners even got special bib napkins to tie around their necks to prevent splash-back (I did not, perhaps didn't know to ask). The noodles were fairly basic, but the soup itself was subtle and flavoursome. The Pho Chay (tofu, Flickr photo) was £6.50 and the Pho Nam Rom (enoki, shiitake and button mushrooms, Flickr photo) £7 to eat in - though they do most of the dishes for takeaway, for around £1 cheaper.
There is a wine list, and some beers, but we chose the carrot, apple and ginger juice (Bec rated it highly) and homemade lemonade (very tasty).
