Going there once/twice a week with my colleagues and always satisfied on the take-away food. Good price for the quality and quick preparation on less busy times.

Good value. The spicy pho was yummy! Love both spring roll and the noodle, the restaurant is quite small, not many tables to offer though.

We have always loved Vietnamese food, but this one really takes the prize.
This is our go-to Viet food and we just stick with it! We had the Summer Prawn Spring Rolls, which is just very refreshing to have, especially having a long day of walking - it's like preparing your stomach for more good food. The mint in it, really provided that kick of freshness.
For the main, we had the Dragonfly Bun Cha - which comes with pork spring rolls and the Bun Ga Nuong (both are dry vermicelli noodle). Both are very light, but very filling meals - the type of filling where you don't feel bad being full. The chicken was smoky and tender, whilst complimenting the noodles.
The service is top-notch. Very friendly servers, despite being busy. Lastly, the space is cozy albeit small.
Can't wait to come back for more!
P.S. Their banh mi is LEGENDARY (they only serve it on the weekday though sadly :(, nevertheless, it is worth the try!)

Spicy soup pho is good, and you can add fried dough stick to dip in.
Fish cake and brisket are both good choices.
I have become a frequent visitor recently.

Quaint, tucked away, delicious. I regularly come to this place for lunch, and it never disappoints. My favourites are the pho ga or the bahn mi.

Travelled from Birmingham for business reasons and got to my hotel late, found this place on Google was open nearby and as I was dining alone I wanted somewhere casual and relaxed. This was a great find, I am so glad I tried it out! Friendly staff and quick service and the most delicious bowl of pho - exactly what I needed after a log train journey!
Really nice atmosphere with a seat at the window to people watch.

A Vietnamese restaurant with high quality of foods and reasonable good prices.
There were around 6 tables in the restaurant and the space was quite limited. Our orders came out pretty fast and they smelled really good as well as the taste. The rare beef tender pho was amazing, you could tell that the soup was cooked but not made by powders. And the beef was sliced into proper thickness and as tender as exactly what’s described.
Instead of the small and very spicy chilies I’d experienced at other Vietnamese restaurants, their chilies were the large one without seeds.
Will definitely visit again if craving for a decent pho soup.

Great food and service. This is the closest you might get to authentic Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam. The cost is also a no brainer.

This has been our favorite to go Vietnamese restaurant in London since university (more than 5 years now). I and my friends love not only the extremely tasty dishes here, but also the coziness that we feel every time we dine in. It’s like sitting at home and enjoying my mom’s cookings, definitely best value for money :) I highly recommend the caramel slow cooked pork belly on rice and bun hue (there’re lots of protein choices but my favorite is duck, as no other Viet restaurants offer this choice). Super delicious and very big portion, could never get enough of them
