Nice place for a quick and delicious meal. No fuss restaurant with authentic and tasty Vietnamese food . Great pho and summer rolls were nice as well . And all very affordable too!

Yi Yuan

Lovely and spacious restaurant with a relatively large range of choices. Often packed with people at lunchtime because of its excellent reputation.

Gaelle Normand

My perfect meal here would have to be summer rolls , chicken&beef pho , and a vietnamese iced coffee to wash it all down and end on a sweet note (from the condensed milk ). Very busy @ lunchtime weekdays

The banana blossom prawn was impressive! The dressing and combination of ingredients really worked well with each other. Other things to try is probably the Pho .

Kristine Liv

I *LOVED* banh mi when I went to Vietnam but haven’t been able to find authentic Vietnamese baguette anywhere in London. Until Banh Mi Bay. This is a great place!

Russell Barnes

Pho is one of the tastiest in London. Veggie spring rolls and bahn mi were also great and the vibe is super-chilled. Will be back for sure.

Jessica E

This was the best pho I've ever had. No extra seasoning required. The cooked beef is great, very tender.

Ben Bellamy

Unassuming, efficient, delicious. Try the Pho ; it's freshly made , filling, and cheap . I personally will have to come back here for lunch some time. A hidden gem .

Nicole Tsui

Quality Viet food in London. The Garlic beef noodle salad tastes better than I expected - just a bit too dry. Iced vietnamese coffee was just perfect - not too sweet nor too bitter/sour for me.

Lina L.

Lunchtime specials : Spend £5 and above and you get an iced Vietnamese coffee for free. Only for takeaways . Get it and head to the nearby park for sunshine!

Andrew Marks

Excellent sandwiches (always go for Vietnamese bread ) and pho . It gets busy during lunch , so expect a queue.

Edward Bell

A good place for lunch fresh food full of flavour. The place is always been busy when I go there a sign of how much people like it.

Arsham B

Good value , pho is proper spicy and the summer rolls are delicious

Valeria Breda

Easy Vietnamese place , really nice and simple food, light even if portions are huge! Perfect for lunch .

Mark

The tofu bahn mi was absolutely delicious and the service was great and super speedy, great if you're short on time.

Emilien Hoet

Authentic Vietnamese food in London - beef pho is great but the rice & noodle dishes are worth thinking about too!

Iggy Hammick

Pho is excellent. If you're a meat lover get the extra meat, it's a touch scarce in the normal version

Lisa Talia Moretti

They make really really good Bun . I love mine with tofu and veggie springrolls.

Fergs

Fantastic summer rolls . £4 for a baguette can't beat the value or the taste. Personal favourite is the pork . Lovely.

Darius Groza

Really good pho noodle rare beef soup and flavoury caramel pork summer rolls .

Clea Romeo

Avocado and kiwi smoothie and brisket pho . Both were outstanding

Adam Barnett

Best Vietnamese in London, so nice and fresh. Get the pho every time :)

Evgeniy Zhdanov

Everything i tried is exceptional. Except the portions of starters a pretty small

Pete Marcus

One of the best Vietnamese places in London. Takeaway and eat in.

Picked the menu of the day and loved it. Small & full of good atmosphere

Alex Burton

Am obsessed with the veggie summer rolls , che ba mau, and tofu banh mi .

ǝǝɥɔ ol

Great place to have lunch , if you want to sit and eat, get there early. Mix of clientele, the massive queues says it all

Kristina Pham

Okay new opinion, the pho is not bad at all surprisingly. This is coming from a vietnamese person.

Jerry He

Serve Vietnamese food at descent price, might need to queue during the peak time, recommend!

Nicole J

Unreal Vietnamese food . Pricey for Vietnamese though but food is great

Meri Williams

The Vietnamese iced coffee (with condensed milk ) is blooming marvellous on a hot sticky London day

Katie Fullalove

Prawn & Pork Pancake = crunchy savory deliciousness

Tyom Semonov

Great range of tasty Vietnamese baguettes !

Richelle Quinto

Definitely get the meatballs if you're eating in and roll it yourself. Caramel pork is a let down in the bun get garlic beef instead. Good nuoc cham!

Gordon Fong

Get there by 12.30pm for any chance of getting a seat. Very busy with long queue for the baguettes . Must be good then.

Kristina Pham

Banh mi baguettes are not authentic at all, taste okay though. Garlic beef bun vermicelli nuoc cham dressing was way too sweet for my liking. Overall mediocre.

K

I recommend the ban but the restaurants on kingsland road are better for variety and price

Jen Liang

Most authentic Vietnamese place and reasonably priced. Needs a makeover.

Richard Shepherd

Stir fried flat rice noodles are non non. Add plenty of hot sauce to spice it up.

Sam Amin

Garlic Pork Appetizer and mixed meat pho were both awesome!

Tamas Olajos

Nice looking vietnamese place with perfect pho

Syd Kokani

Michal Gondkovsky

Everything these guys make is top! Ideal lunch .

Leven Wenqi Li

Nice place for lunch . Cheap and cheery quick food.

It's all about the Bay Special Rice box . A regular favourite. Highly recommend!

Emilie

Very good shrimp rice box !

Ramon

Delicious baguettes and rice box !

Lina L.

the grilled garlic pork noodle salad is yummylicious! the noodle soups aka pho are meh in my opinion.

Cami Heitz

Gets pretty crowded during lunch on weekdays. Food is OK, not the best Vietnamese I have had.
