Best Vietnamese food I've had in UK! Portions were generous, service was stellar and they have vegan pho and other great veggie options. I wish there was more places like it.

A charming little Vietnamese restaurant in trendy Cockfosters. We all decided to have Pho which you more or less have to when dining Vietnamese and we weren't disappointed. A steaming hot, tasty broth with loads of raw (cooked available) slices of beef together with the customary beanshoots, lime and chillies. Mint was offered in lieu of Thai basil but it gave a pleasant aroma and taste to the soup. We also tried the excellent salt and pepper squid to start with as well as their house cheun fun rolls. Service was excellent and prices very reasonable for an excellent bowl of Pho.

Really good authentic Vietnamese food and decently priced. Especially loved the cha ca la vong (fried fish) and banh xeo (savoury pancake). The owners were also very nice people and lovely decor. Overall I would highly recommend this place if you're nearby and fancy authentic Vietnamese food.

I've been craving Vietnamese food this past week and they're usually too far away. Went to get kids uniforms and when we went to get something to eat, this was right there...like literally, next door. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was as if I'd won the lottery. I've had a lot of Vietnamese foods in various countries and they're rare for a reason...they keep it and this surely didn't disappoint. It was good we were the first when they just opened as kids were tired and a bit unsettled, so we were done by the time people were coming in for a relaxing dinner. Food was gorgeous and service was good too. I was so hungry that I even forgot to take picks of the starters ha. I'll definitely return here several times in the future and the fact they do take-out is even better, as can pick up on the occasions I'm going by. My mouth is still watery just thinking about the delicious dinner here

I really struggled to find authentic viet food in London until I stumbled along this place. I really loved the banh xeo / savoury pancake, as well as the goi cuon / prawn summer rolls and of course the vietnamese iced coffee. Would like to come back sometime to try out the different flavours of hotpot!

I'm a fan of the Vietnamese culture and when I saw this restaurant open I couldn't wait to enjoy the Vietnamese cuisine. Tonight I had the most wonderful dinner. I ordered the Pho Special with beef, chicken, and Prawns. It was a delicious traditional soup dish. To go with that I had the Summer rolls with prawns. For a drink, I had a J20 Passion fruit juice. It was a wonderful dinner. The interior design is a combination of oriental and modern. The restaurant is clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was very special. Thank you for making dinner a joyous occasion. I highly recommend. _
