The food here is much more affordable compare to other popular Vietnamese restaurants in London.
As a Vietnamese myself, I would highly recommend the Vegetarian Vermicelli. It tastes just like original one, it's also my go-to dish whenever I crave Vietnamese food. The Pho is quite okay, it's a bit plain as I prefer it a bit more sweet and salty. I haven't however tried the baguettes.

The restaurant isn't nice looking and there's supermarket right next to it which is pretty convenient. The supplies are pretty good but watch out as they do sell out of date stuff (I really hate this about them).

In overall, it's not a professional restaurant so you can't really expect much. But still a good place to check out!

So, unsuccessfully, I tried a Vietnamese place before, my expectations was low. I went in as a pessimist, but came out a believer, the food comes in large, belly filling portions, big chunks of meat in my dish, the beef stew I think? The price was good, a bit odd having to come collect your food though, but that couldn't detract from the experience. I like Vietnamese food now, maybe I even love Vietnamese food, I shall be coming back to see and maybe even looking into other Vietnamese restaurants around London.

One my best friend in London is Vietnamese and she used to torture me asking me to try their food. Then, when I was at her place, she suggested to go to this place for lunch.

She basically ordered the food for me, so I am not quite sure about what it was. I had some different spring rolls, delicious. Especially the vegetarian. My meal was a beef soup with mint, accompanied by a baguette. Overall, I liked the food, but not really the place.

It was a bit cheesy and shoddy. On the other hand, the Menu is pretty economic. Then, a good solution if you do not want to spend too much and still in the mood for a Vietnamese meal, I would recommend this place.

They also have a Vietnamese supermarket, which is quite big and well supplied. You can get a bag of Prawn Crackers for £1!

Very good large asian supermarket on the Walworth Road close to the Elephant and Castle. They can be relied upon to have almost anything you might need for asian inspired cooking. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The store is very large and some of the shelves were literally almost empty when I visited. There was not a lot of people inside. Some of the groceries categories like noodles, frozen food or sauces have so much variety at this store that is simply not comparable to other Asian food stores I have been to in London

I bought my longdan conmodity on line suppermarket. I always love the mixed fruite crisps, very unique and one can not buy this brand of crips in any well known suppermarket ie Morrison, sainbury's, co-op, mark and Spencer , Texaco and waitro. This product is oriental cuisine/ snacks. My personal opinion, is.. all this crisps and snacks are very tasty, Worth buying to taste the uniqueness of it flavour. The fanta flavour in itself, the tropical one , when you twist the dap, immediately the aroma of guava flushes put , tasty, and a little bit sweet, similar taste to the pink Fanta that one can purchase from any local shops. The lemon one is not too overly bitter nor sour, but very subtle lemon taste, drinkable and both drinks are very refreshing and satisfying for any weather but more so hot summer. Or add onto 0.05% Beverages for summer punch or mr V for more cocktail to mocktail. Ether way worth buying.

One of the best and most affordable Asian Supermarkets in central London. It does snacks like steamed buns and sells plants and crockery. Really great please for groceries!

Incredible this is considered an “express” market. I go to this whenever I need to pick up one of the several dozens of different noodle packs. I think Shin Ramen sells out too quickly though, and unfortunately, they don’t have Shin Ramen black. Same goes with Samyang noodles. I wonder what the non-express carries? I shall make the pilgrimage one day. However, I love that they have Vifon noodles here. I haven’t seen them since I last visited Vietnam.

A good selection of frozen ready to eat food from Japan, Thailand and China, even bigger selection of sauces and condiments, dry and tinned food, even some kitchen utensils, bowls etc, as well as fresh tofu and fresh oriental veg. A bit pricey but you will find what you need. Remember to have your own plastic bags as they charge 15p for a flimsy bag!

I loved the fact that it definitely has a wider variety of products than the shop present in the opposite direction. Don't waste your money on their bubble tea , not that great!
