"If you’re looking for the plumpest, most herb-packed summer rolls, or the crispiest, most prawn-heavy bánh xèo, go to Eat Vietnam. The Deptford favourite is the most consistently excellent Vietnamese restaurant in London, and it wears its superiority lightly. The low-key room suits any occasion, but the attention to detail is in everything you eat. Regulars know repeat visits are essential because the menu is so vast and appealing. Meat-lovers will swoon at barbecue section, with fragrant sườn heo nướng (glazed baby back ribs) to nem nướng nha trang (smoky charcoal pork skewers alongside a gluggable peanut sauce). Vegetarians and vegans are also keenly looked after with a separate and similarly excellent menu of specials." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
