I Love Pho is located in the heart of Crows Nest just down the street from the Stoned Crow. Crows Nest locals and visitors alike are blessed with many restaurant, bar and cafe options creating a community dining hub without needing to head into the city.

I Love Pho is an inviting Vietnamese restaurant which offers delicious traditional and modern Vietnamese dishes which patrons love. The service is friendly and efficient, while the interior and food are fresh, exciting, fun and colourful.

Favourite design feature -

The art mural as you enter is very striking and is a fun way to showcase the dishes on the menu. So many restaurants would benefit from some bespoke art, creating a unique and fun dining experience.

Creative solution/ quirk -

The branded neon lights are fun and inviting.

Favourite beverage/ food -

I Love Pho is licensed and BYO so a glass of red wine goes hand in hand with the delicious rice paper rolls, duck pancakes, spring rolls, crispy skin chicken pho or beef pho. The ingredients are fresh, dishes are colourful and keep you coming back.

KO Designer absolutely loved working on the re-design of I Love Pho with the lovely client, collaborating in keeping loved elements such as the bamboo feature wall, while refreshing other elements in the restaurant such as brightening up the walls, focus on branding in the neon light design, incorporating the menu in the artwork mural, adding hanging greenery to balance the bamboo, re-finishing the cashier with beautiful modern, textural tiles and wall tiles, refinishing the banquette seating and creating an overall fun, fresh and cosy local’s favourite Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Crows Nest.
