It takes a lot to stand out in South Kensington. It’s a strange neighbourhood with a large mix of tourists, Imperial College foreign students living off a measly stipend, and mega wealthy locals tucked away in their perfect wisteria-adorned homes. As a restaurant, who do you cater? The volumes of tourist, hungry after powerwalking through all three museums looking for a cheap and cheerful meal, or the locals who are able to spend a pretty penny on outstanding freshly cooked food?
Small restaurant but serves very good pho. Bit of a shame that there isn't much choice for vegetarians, but the veg food they do have is also excellent. Be sure to get pho and summer rolls.
Cute little place that we discovered on the way to the Royal Albert Hall. We sat downstairs, waiters were attentive and service was fast. Food was delicious, unsure of what to order but what we got was a delightful revelation - I'm not great with chopsticks, so I wish I asked for a spoon! Calamari was the best I've had for years, so soft and perfectly cooked. Summer rolls could have done with some more prawn as they got lost with everything else. Couldn't fault everything else.
Food was incredible and service outstanding. The restaurant was very busy but the staff were so accommodating and found us a spot at a table where we shared with some other guests. There's a nice atmosphere and lots of variety on the menu. I'll be back for the spicy pho - so good
Amazing service. Had to change our reservation to a later time but ended up reaching early. Both of which they accommodated with a smile even though they were really busy. The serving staff were amazing. They made sure we ordered the right amount and it was perfect. The octopus salsa is highly recommended - it was very different but delicious. The recommended desserts were great too! The peanut parfait was served in a very interesting way and tasted amazing. We will definitely return!
The boneless foie gras chicken wings are unique and perfect. It's literally impossible to find anything wrong with this chicken wing. The powdery soup base is so pure and has the right taste. You can choose wagyu or beef set menu. They are all great.
Amazing experience.
I'm going to run out of superlatives very quickly with this place. The food, service and atmosphere are all excellent.
Every dish we had was not only delicious, but also carefully crafted and so elegantly presented. It's a fusion concept here and I'm happy to say the combination of flavours was also exceptional. The staff were very attentive, knowledgeable and polite - they had very good recommendations, too. A few dishes that stood out for me were: grilled wild king prawns, slow cooked black gold beef cheek, baby pork ribs. The desserts we had were all amazing too, ask the staff for recommendations and you'll be all set.
The service staff deserve a special thanks, they made the experience wholesome.
Although it's a tiny place, it doesn't feel crowded and noisy.
It's such a great place to visit! The prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. The portion size was generous, and the food tasted quite authentic.
The types of rice noodles are unique and authentic like what I’ve tasted in China. The meat is served generously. Reasonable price. Good to try it.
During our last day in London we were looking for a place where to have a late lunch and we found this little place close to our hotel. The owner is Malaysian but they do Vietnamese food.
We chose the set menù, that includes starter+main dish+dessert and one glass of prosecco, and a portion of summer rolls. From the starter you can say it’s not the usual Vietnamese restaurant.
Nice presentation but most importantly very good taste.
We were really impressed by the food and we’ll come back next time for sure to try some more dishes.
At the end we spent 70 pounds, not that much for what we had and especially compared to other places nearby.
Definitely recommended
A very big surprise with this Vietnamese restaurant. Intense favour but authentic taste which was similar to what I have tasted in Vietnam. Relatively great value for money as I had their lunch set with a very generous portion.
This is a lovely Vietnamese restaurant in South Kensington area. Clean establishment and easy to look for. We were greeted very warmly by the owner. He spoke Malay and we even had the chance to meet fellow Indonesian from Timor Leste. Needless to say, I have a warm, delicious meal. My Asian stomach agrees!
