Bunbunbun Vietnamese Food in Hackney

Great evening as always + lovely service from Long & Huu & Quyen!

So far the best Vietnamese food I've found in London, even better flavour than some decent Viet restaurants in Vietnam and San Francisco. I asked the staff what was good and authentic, they helped with suggestions and it didn't disappoint. Essentially they also have picked chillies and garlic on the tables, give the proper amount of herbs with each dish, and use proper fish sauce (not too sweet!). The staff was so attentive, the service was very fast, and the food was a fair price, I wouldn't want to pay more or less, and I left totally satisfied. If I lived closer I'd be back again immediately to try some of their interesting dishes- including beautiful sounding soups- I spotted ingredients like crab, quails eggs, blood sausages and various interesting innards, which most Vietnamese restaurants don't make in my area!

A small, local restaurant with good, simple food. Family-friendly atmosphere. I recommend it.

I LIKE THIS PLACE! IT HAS A KIND OF FRIENDLY, ALL-CAPS VIBE. BUSY, KINDA LOUD, BUT NOT, LIKE, TOO MUCH. BOLD AND AT THE SAME TIME UNDERSTATED. THE SERVERS ARE WELCOMING AND UNPRETENTIOUS, SO IS THE FOOD. I'D EAT HERE AGAIN.

I ordered takeaway from here a few months ago and I still think about it. The food was piping hot, it was rich in flavour but wasn’t heavy or hard to digest. I cannot stress enough that Vietnamese food is some of the best, especially from here.

Gets trendy people eating in this place. Food is very scrumptious. So far one of the best Vietnamese food in the area

Amazing food and reasonably priced for the quality.

male evening wait staff(the chubby tan skin) got a shitty attitude

Bug in my food and dirty cutlery

The worst service ever. Placed a order and wait 30 minutes for nothing. Finally my order was completely missed. Staffs are unfriendly and not willing to sort it out. Not recommend to visit here.

Very good for the price especially in london if you want authentic Vietnamese food.

Love the whole menu , super fresh Vietnamese food and great option for those avoiding pork too

Best Vietnamese place I’ve eaten at in the U.K. so far. The bun cha is amazing, as is the salt and pepper tofu.

Decent prices, and large portions. Food was just okay. Servers were hostile but speedy.

Love this place. Usually I get the salads with spring rolls, but this time I had banh mi with tofu, so delicious. Tasty, juicy, fresh, just incredible. One of my fave places in east london. Fair prices as well.

i went here with some family since i was seeing a music festival (all points east on sunday 18th if you’re curious) and after the festival we decided to get some food. i got the rare steak beef pho - i liked it and it was pretty good. we also got something else that, if i’m being honest, i 100% forgot the name of, but it was chewy and had a really good dipping sauce so therefore it was good. hope you enjoy the picture in horrendous quality, since my digital camera just decided not to focus when all i wanted to do was eat as many noodles as possible. i still think about how good the broth was.

Ordered take out, my spicy coconut chicken curry was very salty, to the point of being in-edible. I have ordered from here before and it was nice, hence not 1 star.

Favourite Vietnamese restaurant in London. The chargrilled pork with vermicelli noodles and fish sauce is *chef’s kiss

The raw beef pho was too cooked and chewy meat, so disappointed. Not recommended

Really exceptional Vietnamese food, at reasonable prices.

Katherine gave us AA very good service! And the food was amazing

So delicious 👌🏼 one of the nicest meals I’ve had in London

Absolutely amazing. The service was incredible the food was immaculate and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was second to none. Would definitely recommend and will be back again and again.

Great place, stand out even among the many other Vietnamese restaurants in that part of Hoxton

Great service, amazing food. We did byob which was really good value. Will come back!

Wonderful! Food of the Gods. I recommend.

Delicious food! I have been here couple times now and it always hits the spot :)

Had the rolls, squid pancakes and noodle salad, was delicious, would visit again !

Nice authentic food, clean place and great service!

Insane! Best Vietnamese I ever tried

Great place! Lovely, attentive service and very quick, with delicious food. Especially loved the bao and spring rolls. Warm atmosphere and very reasonable prices.

Was treated by the server as if they don’t want me here

Don’t go for lunch. They tell you 5 mins but then take half an hour.

OMG avoid this place. We were roundly insulted and harangued by the waiter/manager/ owner? for just enquiring about his welfare. We're regular customers who work at Museum of the Home and were shocked. We did quite like the food, but honestly no one needs unnecessary abuse.

Got the lemongrass goat bun and it was amazing. Highly recommend

A very good range of food served by friendly staff at a good price

I live just around the corner Hoxton. I came to this restaurant almost every few days, I just love the food in here, amazing place to try Vietnamese food . Great staff very friendly. Recommened

I had egg fried rice here and it was really good. The staff (Nga and Phuong Anh) were friendly and their music taste was nice.

Great bahn mi and decent price. Absolutely fantastic table condiments. Would recommend.

Delicious food at a reasonable price every time. They never miss!

Bahn Xeo was amazing, service was good. Just a little too noise when there are more people. But generally would recommend this place. Good location as well

amazing food, large portions, also one of the very few vietnamese restaurants in london that serve banh cuon!

Delicious food and quick friendly service. Good vegan and vege options.

Great little place with authentic food!

Delicious food and great service, it has become our go-to vietnamese local restaurant!

Amazing food - came so fast and just delicious 🤤

Great real Vietnamese food and friendly service

The best as always!!!! Tony is the best - he deserves a pay rise he is so attentive and so nice! Made our experience even better. Food delicious as always xxxx

I have to travel 1 hour to get here for my Bun Cha Ha Noi. No where can make it as good as here. Highly recommend .

Very good. I like it! Will comback here again

Food was amazing 👏🤩 the duck, the chilli squid and shell crab were to die for. Also the service provided by the waitres was very good and welcoming

Food was SO GOOD I could not recommend it more. Service was quick too and price is quite affordable!

Best Vietnamese place in London , amazing pho with very generous beef

Please note the prices are displayed without the surprise service on the bill at the end! Rice and pasta in addition to the dish! Not great reception, super spicy food, almost inedible!

had the beef pho - it was very tasty

Delicious pho! Craving it right now. So fresh so yummy

This place is so horrible now after the change of owner and chef. This was our go to back in the days and I will never go back anymore. We ordered specifically beef pho, clay pot cat fish, and sandwich. The pho was lukewarm, beef inside is extremely tough and the soup is full of msg( for someone who is very sensitive to it I can tell by my head buzzing). The clay pot cat fish is not made of cat fish and tastes like from a prep-made freezing pack in a dark kitchen. The sandwich is so bad I can’t even finish it. All the ingredients in taste not fresh and completely lost its flavour. Sad to see this restaurant turned into another western palette catering place turns like any dark kitchen takeaway.

2nd time back here. Absolutely love the pho, so hats off to the chefs in the kitchen. Service was good, although a little haphazard at times and almost as if trying too hard. Got our menus taken after we placed our order, and yet got asked 3 times if we’d been served yet. Water was also provided after we finished our meals, and then after paying we were asked how everything was (and it was great…), but then we got a scanner pushed in front of us to scan and leave a review. Been living in London for a couple of decades now, and first time I’ve seen this happen. Atmosphere was great. I believe they expanded their restaurant. It appears a little less authentic and cosy now, and catering more to the masses / tourists, but hey, I’m glad the business is doing well. Overall, still love this place and will be back for the pho. But, would recommend the waiters to try to be less over bearing and let the food speak for itself, because it’s more than good enough.

We've been eating at BunBunBun for years now. Best Vietnamese food on the block and great service.

So so good! I had the salad and it’s extremely tasty and fresh.

Best vietnamese food in London, by far!

Back here in 2024, to try out their new menu.. absolutely amazing. Roast duck, crispy pork and so much more. My new favourite steamed pork rolls. Their selection of drinks…wow just wow Fresh food, great flavours. Too many restaurants claim to serve traditional Vietnamese street food, this place however can definitely claim that. After coming back from Vietnam recently, iican say thi place is the closest you'll get for Bun Style noodles with real Vietnam flavours. Clean and cosy atmosphere too!

Took my family out for a meal for their first time eating Vietnamese food. They loved it! We ordered bún bò huế , banh xèo, fried spring rolls, seafood noodles, seabass and bún đặc biệt. Good portions too!

Would recommend the food and service here! 10 out of 10 🤩

Best of the best! Go for the seafood bun 🙏🙏🙏

Love this place. Favourite Vietnamese in Shoreditch!

Lovely food and friendly staff!

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in London hands down. Equally great for a quick lunch or a relaxed group dinner!

My friend and I fell in love with buncha while on a trip in Hanoi. And we have found an amazing bun cha in London. Highly recommend.

The sizzling dill fish was so delicious

Some food was lovely but the greens were like talking to yourself - bland.

The food was delicious and with generous portions! We ordered salt and pepper tofu, crispy pancake, banh mi and lemongrass tofu - all great :)

wonderful quality at a great price point

Food is amazing 10/10 would recommend, service was super reliable and polite, atmosphere was calm and tranquil no stress.

Every single menu item was delicious.

Best Bahn mi I've ever had, also free beer. Down with all of that...

I got the meal deal with a starter, a main and the green tea. All good

fantastic seafood pho (the broth is excellent). also loved the fried summer rolls.

Delicious food and great service ❤️

I love this cozy and happy place. Their kindness and awesome food makes my heart warm 😊

Vely gud vely chip vely naice lecommended if you want leal food Vietnam good vely much no dialleah lecommended

An amazing evening with great food. Staff were super helpful too!

Delicious food and friendly service! Will return

My fave Vietnamese on Kingsland Road. BYOB and food is yummy. Bun Cha and Papaya Salad is a must!

A bit expensive, but big portions, so I’d say good value by London standards. Very good food. Would recommend trying their set menu dishes.

My daughter and I visited expecting delicious Vietnamese food, what we got was tasteless. The noodles weren’t cooked, the ingredients tasted cheap and the squid was tough and processed. Would not recommend

It tastes good, but 25,000 won for a bowl of rice noodles??

One of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants. Best Vietnamese coffee I've had in London (hot and cold). Plus the bathrooms are spotless. Fair prices for a quick bite to eat right beside Hoxton station. There's a couple of tables by large windows, perfect for a solo trip or to people watch. The whole restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere. So, save yourself the time, skip Mien Tay and come here instead.

Stumbling upon this Vietnamese heaven in London was a tip-off from a savvy London insider perched high in the Shard, and oh, what a find it was! The menu was a treasure trove of ingeniously crafted traditional dishes, each a symphony of savoury delights that danced on the taste buds. The staff couldn't do enough for you, blending warmth with impeccable service. Prices? Surprisingly gentle on the pocket for such a culinary ballet. The setting? Immaculate. This wasn't just eating; it was the best Vietnamese dining escapade we've ever embarked on. An absolute jewel!

Best bahn mi in London. This is coming from somone who has tried hundreds in Vietnam. So this is as authentic as it gets and with UK hogiene standrads 😀 Thank you, Will continue to recomend to everyone.

The food was ok but it does has lose the good quality it used to have before...but i was shocked when I asked for a tea just for me and they brought a pot with plain breakfast tea. Seeing the size of the pot, I thought it was a good idea to share with my friend and asked for an extra EMPTY cup. When they brought me the bill they charged two teas (2.70 pounds each) and when I asked then the reason they say the extra EMPTY cup was 2.70 pounds. We were shocked also of the rudeness of the lady who refused to remove the extra tea and anyway charged us for it. Very uncomfortable situation and definitely non sense. Will never go back to a place that does not clarify the prices and that does charge you money for an extra EMPTY cup.

Top notch, 10/10 pricey for me but so worth the experience, portion sizes are immense

Ordered the rare beef pho but the beef looked a bit like cooked already and doesn’t taste fresh. Its texture is like rubber and hard to bite. The soup base is nothing special at all. It costs £14.52 including the service charge. Doesn’t live up to the price. Quite disappointing.

The food was nice but we wasn’t aware BYOB were £4.5 per head (as neither few of us had any drinks) so we asked for excluding the service charge but they said the staff have to pay for that instead so I’m not sure if they heard our request right or if the policy they have is unfair to the staff. So we ended up paying. One dish got forgotten, but I’ll say staff service was fine since we saw one staff tried. So was a shame as we could’ve had a better experience.

Went on a Friday night for dinner, was able to find a table for 2 without wait. The food was really good, they also some vegetarian options

Very tasty Vietnamese lunch - always enjoy a Ha Noi beer too.

The best pho I had in London! Staffs are friendly and food come fast. Def the first choice to have pho whenever I am in London

Try the noodles salads. Awesome. How pity I don’t live near the Hoxton 😢 Otherwise will come here every day

This was our fav Vietnamese restaurant for years, but from today on we will stay away. It’s -1 degree out, but the Air con inside was turned off so it’s freezing, the waitress messed up our order so our food took more than an hour to arrive after repeated chasing, the manager then blamed the staff being untrained and still handled us a full bill in the end.

The best Vietnamese beef pho in London ( dine in! )
