East Restaurant

A very surprising and impressive restaurant. Real good quality food. Great service too. A real surprising dish which everyone must try is the rice sheets with grilled pork, I’m sure restaurant can correct me with an exact name. One of the best dishes I’ve had in any restaurant this year. Wish I took more pics. I ordered a wok fried pho, very saucy and lots of meat and veg. Fried rice with pork chops was very pleasing to take home. Spring rolls were nice, meaty and flavoursome. Summer rolls were great. Only wish was just a bit more peanut sauce with my summer rolls. 9.5

Excellent food and good service. 6 of us had lunch together and really enjoyed it. Loved my Hanoi char grilled belly pork. Big portions! Only 3 stars for atmosphere because it was lunchtime midweek and rather empty, but that suited us as we could have a good chat without disturbing anyone. Thank you to the other diner who kindly took an excellent picture of our group for us. Hope we weren't too noisy for you.

Viet Grill is an incredibly underrated Vietnamese restaurant that deserves more recognition. The pho they serve is simply outstanding, among the best I've ever tasted. Although the selection of side vegetables is limited to coriander, fresh bean sprouts, and mint, the broth itself is exceptional, and the beef is remarkably tender, cooked right on point. While the cold dishes may suffer from being made ahead of time and lack freshness, the hot dishes I sampled were truly outstanding. The value for money is impressive, and once you experience Viet Grill, you'll never want to go back to chain food restaurants like Pho.

Party of 5 on a Wednesday night. The place was buzzing and packed. Really enjoyed the food but the best was the house specialty steamed crepes. Very authentic and fresh. Way better than the steamed crepes in Hong Kong. The summer rolls and salt and pepper squid were also good. Hands down the best Vietnamese I have tried in London on this trip. Went back on Thursday for lunch which is a nice quiet atmosphere. A great lunch set is available for £14.95 and the original pho is very good.

Dropped into this place before and after an event we were attending locally. The small plate dishes Betal Leaf Dumplings, salt and pepper squid and the special rice rolls with pork and Asian mushrooms were delicious. Portions were good sized. House red wine was inexpensive and ok. On the return visit we had pho which was also very good. Recommended place. Service a little inattentive at times.
