"Sông Quê is the elder of Dalston’s many Vietnamese options. The luminous green corner spot has been a personal refuge for us and for many on numerous occasions, as well as the setting for countless rowdy group meals memorialised by nước chấm stains on the tablecloth and everyone’s t-shirts. Quality can waver, especially on busier nights, but stick with the phở (rare steak, tripe, or tendon options), bánh xèo, and bún salads, and you can’t go wrong." - jake missing
