This is probably the best Vietnamese food in London. The friendly manager, Flara, upon realising we spoke Cantonese, made a great effort to introduce each dish and explain the preparation in detail—in Cantonese.
I’ve never seen anyone pour a special beef bone broth over signature Rare Beef Pho right in front of the customer. This simple yet thoughtful gesture brought out a unique depth of flavour and the perfect temperature in the dish. The fried chicken wings were perfectly seasoned—not greasy at all. The Refreshing Mango Salad was truly exceptional: it lacked the usual sourness often associated with mangoes, and the house-made dressing made it incredibly refreshing and appetising.
We also ordered the Lemon Grass Chicken Chop on Rice. The pieces of grilled chicken, paired with the classic Southeast Asian satay sauce, were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying it. Finally, the dessert Kerisik Pandan Coconut Pudding was a lovely finish, with crispy shredded coconut and fresh lychee coming together in perfect harmony.
Overall, every dish reminded me of the food I used to enjoy during my younger days living in Asia.
