Crispy squid , satay chicken , mint lamb .

Robert Thomas

Slow cooked lamb w lemongrass and coconut milk is awesome!

Rylan Holey

One of the greatest Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in London. Totally fresh ingredients . North VN cuisine so plenty on the menu you won't find at other Viet joints. Banana Leaf Talapia is a must!

Thomas Defise

One of the best Vietnamese in town . If you are very hungry and didn’t eat during the day, take a spicy Xi’anese, once the noodle are finish, take a small portion of rice that you mix with the sauce.

Lauren Keith

This place is a combo Vietnamese/Xian restaurant , with what must be the best Chinese noodles in London. The Rou Jia Mo bun was excellent, as were the Zha Jiang noodles . This is my new comfort food !

Fabian Martin

Very good Xi’anese noodles with delicious pork belly ! Had the Mount Qi Pork Noodles and would definitely recommend if you like it spicy . Make sure to mix it well !

Daren Williams

Tasty Vietnamese and Xian dishes with lots of noodle options. Recommend: pork belly marinated in lemongrass , with rice .

Jessi @2feet1world

So delicious - one visit and I'm instantly a huge fan. The portions were very generous and the staff were helpful when I couldn't decide!

Emily L

Everything I’ve had here is good, and the place operates like a well oiled machine. One of my favourites for either take out or to eat in after work before heading home in the area.

Hortense Landry

Cumin lamb on skewer is delicious! And the beef noodles with sichuan sauce are great!

Mat A

Highly recommend the hand rolled noodles , particularly the Mount Qi soya tofu noodles .

Randunicanoir

Stir fry tofu with pepper and egg fried rice is so good. Generious portion ????????

Nomnomnom Cepad

Loved the papaya salad and the baked salmon . Quick service

Jessica

Good place to grab a bite before the cinema ! Great quality for money and crazy quick service .

Beto Versa

Delicious! Might be over spicy for who’s not used to! Veggie pho , mango salad are delicious.

Čarbara Berneková

Vegetarian pho is so yummy. Very good prices.

Davina Gifford

Crispy squid with purple basil sauce is to die for.

Quick service & accommodating staff . Great for vegetarians .

Tim Bush

Crispy squid and summer rolls are amazing!

Cyndie Da Rocha

Very Tasty, ingredients are fresh and the portions are at a good size.

Tam P

Delicious vietnamese at very good price! Dont expect it to be posh though!

Eleonora Carisi

Pho Ga noodle rice soup with chicken

Bex Clarke

Not your usual Vietnamese. Try the winged-beans on the specials menu and feast on the veggie friendly bits.

Debs

Lemongrass beef was very tasty (Bun Xa)

Emma Black

Got rare beef take away - it was nice and the beef was soft but not sure Green Papaya deserves a 9.0. Very similar food to Pho mile. Average.

Robert Thomas

The chicken on lime marinade is great. Pancakes too. Also the fried king prawn things ! Sorry I can't remember the names properly ... Its the sake ;-)

Steve K

Banh Tom and bun thit. This place is a hidden gem .

Hazel Demonteverde

I loved the purple basil sauce . Yum.

Chloe P

Great food but slow inefficient service. Waiters standing around doing nothing when you are obviously waiting to place and order or to pay.

James Foster

Beef with cumin is delicious

Eva S

Really nice food, interesting specials. The purple basil sauce rocks. Loved it!

Sarah Marshall

Get the spicy tofu with garlic , salt and chilli

Sam Frost

Soft crab was great!

Marin

I have never ever ate such a distasteful bun .

Laura P

Papaya salad starter is so refreshing

Thomas Railly

Fish and chips in one mouthful umm

David

Great tofu .

Jen Liang

Bun was yum.

Clea Romeo

The pho was quite bland and disappointing. It's ok Vietnamese but not amazing. I wouldn't make a special trip to come here

a

Amazing duck with mixed peppers w/ egg fried rice !

Rachel Mimi

The spring rolls and calamari with purple sauce appetizers are absolutely delicious!!

Louis Sallas

Its all good!

Euan M

Be careful with the pancake starter - as large as a main! Otherwise, great value !

Zuz

Not bad for local takeaway

Kurt Haa

Cheap , tasteless and unoriginal

Matt Hope

Get one of 'the specials! They're extraordinary ;no duh!

Dan

I found my last few visits disappointing and last time they brought my main with the starters and werent cool about it. Time to move on

Matt Hope

Order the Bahn tom! it's like sweet potato prawn roshti(?)

Kim Boutin

Worse service ever.

Kaye Allen

They don't serve any Seitan like they do widely in South Vietnam. :( Extremely boring for veggies

The cafe with the booking office inside is very reasonably priced open daily from 10:00. It does not have a wide selection: jacket potatoes, sandwiches and salads as well as coffee and smoothies. - Rebecca Andrea

Nice vibe - brick walls, industrial lighting, raw woodwork structures and some metal along with some great tunes and cocktails. ???? - Yvette Uhlmann
