I absolutely loved this Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Islington. I went with two vegan friends and decided to only eat from the (extensive) vegan side of the menu. It was amazing! I had a hard time believing that the pictured item wasn't really meat. Great flavors, nice ambiance, and friendly and attentive service. I especially loved the vegan spring rolls.
Great experience in a very nicely laid out (albeit quite small) restaurant on Upper Street. Food was fresh and tasty and portion size was good. The small plates are a little on the expensive side compared to the mains - it would be nice if they had more of a starter-main setup perhaps. Great experience nonetheless.
Great food, try the vegan fish. Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans. Great table service. Not busy when we came so found a table quickly.
Remember to bring cash though, cash only.
Would come here again.
We had the vegan platter and the aubergine. The vegan platter was quite small for £18 pounds, something to bear in mind if you ordered it as a main like we did. We ordered the aubergine since we weren't quite full, it came extremely hot and much tastier than it looked!
Lovely little place with a buzzing atmosphere and amazing prices!!! Fantastic range of vegan Vietnamese options and great mocktails, will be back!
The spring rolls were good. The garlic been in the pho was delicate and the portion size is medium size. Pleasantly surprised to how many vegetarian options there were, the menu was split vertically - meat on the right, vegetarian ok the right.
recently went to Nem Nem midweek for a nice vegan dinner.
Nem Nem have a great menu which has pretty much identical vegan options lined up against the normal options.
We got 2 starters
- Grilled Scallops (mushrooms)
- Crispy chilli chicken
I would honestly come back purely for about 5/6 helpings of the crispy chilli chicken which was sensational.
for mains, I got fried rice, pepper duck and a pak choi to share with my friend who got chicken pho.
i think the vegan chicken was better than the duck, but really can't complain as they're two great options.
a watch out is Nem Nem is cash only. big time recommend for vegans!
The choice for vegetarians is really good with a corresponding veggie dish for most non-veg dishes. The portions are good and the flavours are really fresh. Nicely air-conditioned.
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in London! They have a wide selection of signature food from different regions of Vietnam. My friend and I tried Pho ga, Bun bo Nam Bo, banh tom and muc xao muoi and they all tasted authentic. Highly recommended if you want to try high-quality, true Vietnamese food for an affordable price. Plus, the manager was super nice and friendly. Will defo come again. I know that the restaurant is already popular among the local but such a shame it’s not that well-known by Vietnamese.
Summer rolls are TO DIE FOR in this place. Literally haven't found summer rolls better than these in London. The rest of the food is also delicious, portions are very reasonable and staff is friendly. Also bonus point that this place is never too crowded, so if you want a quiet nice place to dine in, choose Nem Nem.
