Au Lac - Highbury

First time here since under new ownership and it was a pleasant experience. Modern dark interior and staff were attentive and polite. The spring rolls were made with rice paper which is good and the prawn summer rolls had egg, which in my (limited) experience, is uncommon. Pho broth was flavourful and of a good size too. Will be coming back.

We were the first ones in today, and greeted by such a friendly member of staff who was lovely and helpful all the way through. We ordered a what we thought was enough for 4, but it was much more and probably could have fed another one or two. Delicious, so delicious. The vegetatian spring rolls were crispy and tasty. The Singapore noodles we shared so full of flavour and with a bit of heat. My chicken in blackbean sauce was great, as were my friends’ dishes of Mongolian lamb, Yellow Curry beef and Yellow Curry prawns. Pleasantly full and will definitely revisit even though it’s fairly far for me. Love this place!

Food at Ninh's was fantastic, amazing quality and generous portions. It's the best Vietnamese food I've had since going to Vietnam, and really authentic. We had had spring rolls, duck, and vermacelli noodles with prawns. Phil the waiter was really friendly and the restaurant has great vibes, highly recommend!

What a gem! It’s quickly become my favourite local place to eat in the whole of Islington/Highbury/Holloway area. The most delicious pho I’ve ever had! On top of that, it’s cheaper than the alternatives around, the staff is lovely and the place is squeaking clean. It also has a lot of healthy looking plants :) Edit: I would also recommend crispy spring rolls, summer rolls and grilled pork with rice!

We had an incredible dining experience at Ninh's. The presentation of the food was exquisite, and the flavours were absolutely delightful. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, especially the selection of vegetarian options we tried. My friend opted for the Beef Vermicelli and thoroughly enjoyed it. Allow us to highly recommend some must-try dishes: the Summer Rolls, Papaya Salad, Aromatic Mixed Vegetables with Pancakes, Vietnamese Shaking Mushrooms, and the Vermicelli Salads (both the Beef and Veg options). Ninh's is more than happy to accommodate any modifications you may desire, such as omitting the bean sprouts. The service at Ninh's is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The interior of the restaurant is serene and spotlessly clean, providing a tranquil atmosphere. Whether you're dining with your partner or a group of friends, Ninh's is a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine in the vibrant neighbourhood of Highbury.
