Friendly staff and the manager is a character. Loved everything we ordered, so delish. So happy to find banh cuon here and the bun Bo hue and banh mi was elite.

Had high expectations after seeing the other reviews but was unfortunately let down by the food and to an extent by the service. We ordered spring rolls, soft shell crab and bun cha. I found the spring rolls too thick and the fillings were too dry. Soft shell crab and bun cha was also not flavourful.Re service, it took a while to get their attention to pay and also the waiter was abit rude about allowing my friend and I to pay separate different amounts. He only allowed split payments but eventually agreed to us paying different amounts.

A delicious restaurant every time you go. Staff members are friendly and personable, especially Van who takes extra effort to make you laugh and ensure you have a fantastic dining experience!

Horrible and Exploitative Workplace. Bullying Owner and Manager. Do not pay employees.I worked here as a waiter a year ago, and it was definitely the worst experience of employment I have ever had. I feel deeply disrespected, bullied and betrayed.Although I had devoted myself wholeheartedly days and nights to the job, the manager reviewed badly to the owner about me as lacking the learning attitude and responsibility at work after I had quit. He ended up not fully paying me, without any further talk or consideration. All I received was his rude and angry message accusing me of lacking dedication and a £100 payment out of his pride to cover my travel expenses despite the fact that I even spent a day working freely for him as a volunteer to faster get familiar with the job.They were both every bossy and bullying.The manager, named Hien, was full of personal resentment. Despite having some experience and skills, she showed no respect to other team members, mostly students, and kept shouting at us using discourteous language over negligible issues whenever she wanted. She scarcely gave recognition to the staff however hard they worked, continuously claiming herself as 'systematic' and 'highly-educated' while she was indeed the one who needed training the most on the most basic righteous manners at work, on how to be a team player and how to care for others' well-being. She also lacked the courage to take responsibility and to admit her own fault. Although I tried my best to follow her instructions and usually showed my kindness to soften her anger and please her, she didn’t understand or appreciate it. Even worse, she talked badly behind customers and treated them discriminately.The owner, Viet Anh, had only words. He believed whatever the manager reported without feeling necessary to further consider. When we first met, he told me that he wanted to bring happiness to others and create social values. I trusted him and sincerely dedicated myself to working and simultaneously finding a way to improve the toxic environment. But later I realized he actually had no actual will to create good things. He totally changed his attitude and became horrible to me after hearing some people talking about my poor performance, without any careful consideration or a decent exchange about the problem. I found out all of his concern was his own benefit and he was indeed the root of all problems.He kept talking about meditation, promoting 'mindful eating' on his website while his ability of self-control was very low and couldn't even be able to simply sit down and decently talk. He felt good about his generosity while no basic benefit of a legal worker in the UK was met at his workplace. He talked about kindness while feeling O.K. to disrespect his team members, to show power and to refuse to pay hardworking employees. He thought it was acceptable to hold an egoic idea of coming in to the workplace and said he didn’t need anybody while tens of people were working days and nights to help him make money.Initially, I just wanted to get rid of these things as I didn’t want to waste any of my time on those people. However, considering all the detrimental effects it has on my mental health so far, I think those people and their ways of doing business needed to be exposed as a warning for them to rectify their behaviours as well as to protect present and future employees.I strongly advise you guys to be humble and learn more, to see what true kindness and a decent business look like. If you put yourself above others, hold on to power and turn your back on your employees, sooner or later, you will get the consequences.I've been through some Vietnamese restaurants before. They might be underpaying, lacking benefits for employees, but I had never ever felt deeply disrespected and despised as at this place!We are legal workers in the UK, and we come here to cooperate with you, not begging you for the job! So, be respectful!

The food was amazing, tasty, fresh and authentic. We have chosen a few small plates to begin with which we're very tasty. The staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. The place was busy when we went bur they still managed to find us a table.

What a perfect dining experience. Lovely atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and yummy authentic Vietnamese dishes just like the flavours I had in Vietnam.My only slight criticism would be the nuoc cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce) is very bland and could do with being a lot stronger with the ingredients.

Ah, I must say, the search for the finest Vietnamese restaurant in London has been quite the adventure, but I've stumbled upon a gem that truly tantalises the taste buds!
Stopped in for a Saturday dinner and was blown away - incredibly tasty and fresh food at an equally incredible price point. All dishes were delicious. Friendly staff and comfy environs cemented the experience. I would recommend this place with pleasure and look forward to returning. Perhaps my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city now.

Good food, but I’ve been kept waiting for my food at the table for nearly one hour, that’s really upset my foodie mood.
