Pho 179

About Pho 179

Pho 179 is a Vietnamese restaurant at 15 Waterloo Place, in the middle of Sunderland city centre between Holmeside and High Street West. Its menu centres on pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup the restaurant is named after, alongside rice dishes and Vietnamese street-food dishes made with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes.

The restaurant describes itself as suited to anything from a quick bite to a family gathering, and it is a short walk from the Park Lane Interchange, the Bridges shopping centre and the theatres on High Street West. It took part in Sunderland BID's Restaurant Week in September 2026, alongside around sixty other city-centre venues. Pho 179 does not have a separate website, and its Facebook page is the place to check menus, offers and current opening times before visiting.
