Look inside the new Pho Vietnamese restaurant in Norwich

Pho officially launches on Tuesday, June 11 at 5 Queen Street, which the Royal Bank of Scotland previously occupied.

The restaurant group was founded by husband-and-wife team Stephen and Juliette Wall in London in 2005 after they travelled to Vietnam and fell in love with the food.
