"Here’s an excellent way to spend your birthday: eat at the best Vietnamese restaurant in London. The casual Deptford spot covers all bases with its menu—bún and phở, baby back ribs, and vegan specials—and all of them are better than anywhere else. It’s a spot that suits low-key celebrations where groups are fuelled by crisp beers, packed gỏi cuốn, and crunchy bánh xèo tôm thįt." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
