Salvation in Noodles

It was rainy and the best thing to eat is pho soup! So I decided to come here and the place was a bit empty but the guy warmly welcomed us. You just need to order by scanning QR code and then pay it online and they served the foods quite fast. The pho was amazing. It was delicious. The condiments were also complete! Recommended place

Excellent Vietnamese place with underground vibes close to Finsbury park. The lighting is such that at first we thought it was closed, thankfully not. The waiter was very helpful explaining how the ordering worked, we could do it through a QR code. They offer a wide variety of Vietnamese noodle dishes like pho (hence the name of the restaurant), but I quite liked the Vietnamese curries that are less commonplace in these kinds of restaurants. The plates came out quickly and the portions were generous. I fully recommend this nice restaurant.

Needed a little retreat whilst I was working away and came here. Ingredients were fresh and the tofu was tasty. Dumplings were lovely in a spicy broth. Atmosphere was quaint and service friendly. Would definitely come back!

This is my 1st time visiting, Salvation in Noodles on Blackstock Road was an experience I can only describe as divine. This halal Vietnamese restaurant (must ask before ordering which food is halal because some are not) has woven a delightful tapestry of flavours, ambience, and service that captivates your senses from the moment you step inside. The Fried Chicken was my first foray into their menu, and it set a high bar. The chicken was a marvel of culinary expertise - its golden, crispy exterior giving way to tender, juicy meat that was seasoned to perfection. Each bite was a revelation of crunch and flavour, making it a dish we couldn't get enough of. But the true epiphany was the Bun Bo Hue. This beef broth soup was a masterclass in balance and depth. The broth itself was a rich, complex elixir that seemed to carry the essence of Vietnam in every spoonful. The beef was tender, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the herbs fresh, combining to create a dish that was both comforting and exotic. The ambience of the place, with its warm lighting and cozy seating, complemented the meal beautifully, making our family dinner feel special and intimate. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing our experience with their hospitality. In conclusion, Salvation in Noodles on Blackstock Road is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the best of halal Vietnamese cuisine. Their dedication to quality, authenticity, and service shines through in every aspect, ensuring that each visit is memorable. I left with a full belly and a heart eager to return. This restaurant is not just a meal; it's a culinary salvation.

The worst pho Bo I have tried in years. The broth is watery and weirdly spicy. There are 2 pieces of meat, I slice of chicken and I prawn! I ate maybe a quarter because it wasn’t eatable.

Ordered the Bun Hue Dac Biet, Phu Quoc Wings Noodle Salad, and Goi Ga. All dishes are freshly made and have great depth of flavour. Really great value for the price. Also has good service. Will definitely come back again.

It was my first time eating here and it was the best experience i’ve had at a restaurant. The music was perfect and really created a calming atmosphere. Ordering was straightforward and easy to navigate, the qr code system is great for people who have a hard time being put under pressure. The service was polite and I felt comfortable. The food. Amazing. I mean it was divine. Definitely coming here again when i get the chance.

Once seated, you can order at the table on your phone with a qr code. I had no interaction with the servers whatsoever. The music was also quite loud, so I guess they don't want you to bother them or talk to anyone at your table? A bit of an odd vibe for a sit-down restaurant, but good for a quick bite if you want to keep to yourself. Delicious broth!

This place was indeed our salvation as a hungry fivesome roaming the area in search of a bite to eat! This place looked busy, with an exposed brick hipster vibe but more importantly lots of delicious smells coming from the kitchen, so we stayed! The staff are amazingly friendly - the girl on front of house was so welcoming, and explained it's BYOB as they've lost their license due to a mix-up. Music to our ears! After a quick dash over to the Sainsbury's we were all happily cosied up in a booth with some very reasonably priced vino :) The service continued to impress, with our waiter doing that nonchalant I don't need to write anything down thing (and getting it spot on). The food was also fresh and tasty which always helps, and my goi ga chicken noodle salad was just the flavours I'd been craving. The others all got steaming hot bowls of pho that were slurped down happily around me too. Given we got a steal on the drinks it was all very reasonably priced for the healthy portion sizes, even after over-ordering starters to share. What topped it off for me was they even let us sit there nattering away for ages as we polished off the wine until what must've been past closing, cleaning up around us but never once making us feel like we had to hurry up and leave. Thank you!

Excellent Vietnamese food. The interior is a bit hipster, but don't let that fool you, the food is amazing. You can tell that the owner(s) use good quality ingredients. The bun rieu is the best I've ever had (and I live near Little Saigon in LA!). It has a good level of spice (not wimpy) and the crab cream/paste(?) was very pillowy and briny. Other bun rieu I've had tends to have grainy crab that tastes a bit fishy. The bun rieu here does not have that problem. The prawns were also large and tasty. I also had their cha gio which was very good. I appreciated that they did not use normal Chinese (rice + wheat flour) egg roll skins. They used the kind that is bubbly and crunchy (but require immediate consumption as they lose crispness) paper that I like. Overall, everything was great!

This is a review for the newest branch in Finsbury Park. Places amidst the local middle eastern shops it's in a strange location but I'm all for it when the food is this good and is welcome addition as I love Vietnamese food. It's authentically fresh and vibrant in flavour. I shared a few fishes. The chicken wings are probably the best I've had in London. Coated wonderfully. The main soup bowls are great in size and they don't hold back on the spice which I like. A proper Vietnamese coffee is a great way to end the meal. Condensed milk is just so good in coffee.

Good trendy spot for pho. The broths (both meat and veg) are flavourful with nice toppings. I would have liked more bean sprouts but regardless, it was tasty. We also shared some chicken wings which were deep fried to a golden brown and drizzled with a sweet sauce. Very tasty. The only slight drawback is the incense they have burning. I get that it is for atmosphere but if you don't like incense, it's a massive turnoff and the smell can be overwhelming. I would have prefers just the aroma of the food coming out of the kitchen!

Really tasty Vietnamese food. 10x better than Pho!! We had the chicken wings and the lamb chops to start. The wings were crispy and had a really lovely flavour to them. The lamb chops was absolutely delicious! Spicy, herby, tender and juicy! Just lovely! We had the big bowls of noodle soup with meat for main and they do not skimp on the portion size. They were so big that we had the rest to take away. Really delicious flavour and full of noodles, herbs, meat etc. Very good value for money!

So good! One of the few decent food places in Finsbury Park. You sit in booth like benches and order plates of steaming pho. Good portions and proper meat in the pho. The soup was good and not watery. A hearty and warming meal

Best Vietnamese food in London! Loved the chicken wings, chicken salad, steamed noodles, and more. My kids had the pho which they loved and my son is pretty picky. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.
