Com Viet in City of London, Westminster

The beef pho I had here cleansed my soul, it was so incredibly good! The staff was incredibly friendly and fast. The restaurant decor was very simple and the front door didn't properly remain closed, so it was a little cold upstairs. But that didn't take away from the lovely dinner we had here!

It's a bit expensive compared to other similar restaurants in the nearby area. The downstairs room should be redecorated, it's quite ugly.

We had a great time at Com Viet. The food was amazing and the service was very good. Conrad "we think" was working so hard to get everyone seated while juggling orders and payments, but still made sure to ask people how they enjoyed their meal.

Lovely lunch spot. Great food, very authentic! Service was spot on! Lovely friendly staff! We will be back. Thank you !

Rice noodles are really delicious bb

Lovely vietnamese restaurant in Covent Garden. Had an amazing experience here. I tried the Pho soup, and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again to try more!

My husband and I went here on Saturday evening and the service from our waiter was fantastic. He gave us great suggestions on what we should order as it was my first time at a Vietnamese restaurant. As vegetarians we were immensely impressed by the selection they had and the food we had ordered was full of flavour. A massive thank you to the restaurant owner Tao for also making it a memorable experience. Bobby and Jas

I came here for lunch today due to the great reviews and they did not disappoint. The waiter was friendly and checking to see how I was doing. In addition, the pho beef broth was excellent (not too salty but still flavourful). Service was fast. Thank you!

Excellent place to get excellent Viet street food in the heart of Covent Garden. Nem (spring rolls) is well filled and meaty - almost a meal onto themselves. Satisfyingly unctuous pork belly stews is a must for ever hungry eaters like me. Bo Luc lac has lovely balance of oyster sauce and sugar. Great for single diners too.

Wie immer meine erst Station in London, bei konstanter Qualität und nettem Service.

The food satisfied our longing for Asian food. This resto located near to Covent Garden and the French lady who served us was so friendly. Love everything we ordered.

Food ranging from very bad ( deep fried squid, horribly greasy, but lacking any taste) to indifferent (pho with some remote resemblance to a real thing, but not much more. Noodles came in a solid lump, impossible to separate, meanly small portion of herbs on the side). Shrimp rolls that managed to be completely sterile to taste buds. Green papaya salad was slightly better then the rest , but not good.

There is a good variety of dishes to choose from. We enjoyed the starters and mains as shown in the picture. Not too busy on Sunday lunch time and has a number of tables down stairs too!. It could do with a makeover as furniture is old and tired... other than that great service and food.

Really nice food, shaking beef was excellent. Bun Sa was definitely the highlight. The place is like a basic cafe style. Being charged 12.5% service charge is a bit steep. Beer is a bit over priced especially with service charge included. Overall definitely worth a visit. And the value is still excellent considering central london prices.

The tastiest I've eaten in London, light and inexpensive

One of the best vietmanease I have tried I had a 'com Saigon' and rice tea, the dish was really good, I was amazed, I have never tasted porc meat so good. The sercice is very attentive, polite and fast 🙏🏽

Delicious food (the plum sauce with peanuts was amazing) and adorable staff ! Highly recommend !

Food was delicious, we were there for lunch before a matinee so didn’t want anything too heavy so we chose 4 starters between 2 of us, we couldn’t finish them all, the summer rolls were fresh and refreshing, the salt and chilli squid was soft as anything. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it. Only slight concern was the ladies toilets were in poor repair and I really struggled to flush, could have been very embarrassing

Awesome food. This would have to be the best Vietnamese food we've had outside Vietnam. The meal portions were quite large and the staff were fantastic. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Everything was delicious, but i expected more of the banh xeo (it was not really crispy and was overstuffed, not like the pics i see in other reviews). Nice waiter!!! The Saigon caramelised pork stew was DELICIOUS.

Amazing food, wonderful, kind and friendly service, reasonable prices, must go!

It's delicious, unlike the Vietnamese food you eat in Korea (Korea is also delicious, but the way it's delicious is different) Especially the pork is so tender and delicious. I highly recommend menu number 51!

What a fantastic find: really friendly staff and the most delicious food at great prices. I didn’t want my meal to end. Had a nice chat with all the staff and such great service and wonderful tasty food. When we left they were queueing and I’m not surprised. Pay a visit and you will not be disappointed. 10/10 for everything.

Pretty decent vietnamese owned vietnamese restaurant in the heart of it all offering up both meat and vegan versions of favourites plus some other items not seen on other menus. Staff were very accommodating for surprise birthday celebrations.

Lovely fresh food. Particularly enjoyed the banh xeo.

Nice good food. Pleasant moment. Quick and gentle service. Thanks for the smiles.

Eating here is a unique experience, the service is excellent.

If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, then this cosy place in central London's Covent Garden is a must visit. As a vegan I was also impressed with the options. I would advise you book ahead of time though.

I happened to walk pass this place with an empty stomach and stopped by for a quick lunch. I would love to come back. The lunch deal of £12 for two course is a steal. The quality of food was great and the service was quick - great for mid-week lunch. I shall be back trying other dishes soon….

I lack of a long record on the topic, but I had my best vietnamese ever here!

I haven't yet visited but they phoned ahead to inform me of issues with the toilets (pipes in the street) in case it would affect our party. Very diligent of them to let their reservations know ahead. I look forward to visiting!

Food isn’t good. The recommended pork bbq was too chewy and fatty and the food lacked the Vietnamese flavour

First time here and will be back. The lunch menu is a really good deal and the food came super quickly. The food tasted fresh, and had lots of depth - would have been even better without what seemed liked frozen veg that has been reheated, but the bulk of the meal was brilliant. Would absolutely recommend for a lunch

Quaint Vietnamese restaurant with great food and typical London prices

Had a nice time here and the food is tasty, would nip in again for Vietnamese food if in the area. The bun cha is good.

Choose the braised ox cheek pho- it’s really quite good

The food overall tastes nice. The outer part of the bánh xèo and the accompanying sauce are the best, in my opinion. However, the meat portion in it is a bit small, and the same goes for the crabs, which are really small. The soup in the pho is excellent, 5 out of 5. Make sure to fully squeeze the lemon into the soup and add the lemon wedge as well.

Have been here a few times and it never fails to deliver. Good quality, authentic, Vietnamese food at an excellent price. I love it here and it's always my go to destination when I'm looking for my Vietnamese fix!

Really good restaurant with friendly staff. A lot of vegan options. The food was delicious and perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be back! ☺️

Good Vietnamese restaurant in Covent Garden. Typical dishes and well cooked, and good portions! Waitress was really nice. Better book before going cause its success makes the seats rare! Vietnamese people come eat here- a true sign of good food

Was looking forward to eating here due to the good reviews but the food was very average and the service wasn't the best. It took over 30 minutes for us to have our order taken. I had vegetarian spring rolls and the tofu curry and it was very average, not worth the money. Ive been to Vietnam and had high hopes but unfortunately I wouldn't come back here for food again. Wouldn't recommend

Came here Friday 17 May for my birthday. Had a fantastic evening with original tasty Vietnamese food. Some in our group had the set menu (£33) which was excellent value. Pho and beef were delicious The French lady serving was nice and friendly and after hearing it was by birthday even managed to bring out of free bottle of Prosecco. Had a memorable birthday with the family. Big thanks to all the staff. Would recommend this restaurant which is one of the best for Vietnamese food in London

I took my wife out for a meal at Com Viet 3 weeks ago. The atmosphere was at best OK. However the low star rating was the food. I would put this standard of food for a travelling student on a budget. The highlight of the night was the wok tossed duck. We took one bite and advised the waiter that they had served us beef. They said no......it is duck. Apparently I don’t know the difference between duck and beef!

Food is great but the best thing about this place is the staff! They are really helpful and friendly. Thanks and see you soon!

Yummy Vietnamese food! I went here on my second date with my boyfriend and it was the perfect place to sit down, have a beer and enjoy delicious food

Our food was pretty blah. Hopefully, we can find a better Vietnamese restaurant the next time we are in London.

The chicken was a bit dry, and overall the food was uninspired.

Lovely food matched with charming and attentive staff.

A bit disappointed to the streamed rice which was a bit dry and hard. However the curry sauce, the Luc Lac chicken and the spring roll are delicious

Very cute shop and affordable prices. Only thing about it, I only had 3 pieces of squid in my takeaway box which felt a bit disappointed because it was deliciohs. The members of staff were very warm and welcoming.

This was probably the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. The staff recommended the fried Seabass to me, and it was absolutely amazing. I loved the crispiness of the fish combined with the mango and citrus flavors. The egg fried rice was also really great, i could tell that it was prepared fresh for my order. The staff was also very hardworking and friendly!

Pleasant lunch spot with great value set 2course menu for £12.50. Spring rolls and beef bun sa made for a very filling lunch. Lovely service from the French waitress.

First time here. Had a meal from the Lunch Menu at £12.50 per head. As such, the food was pretty decent, though maybe lacking in stronger fish sauce or lemongrass flavours in the pork and chicken dishes (so maybe 4.5 stars). I think being a tourist area, maybe looking to meet all tastes, and in any case, hot sauce is provided. Siagon beer was pretty good. Service was good, and all requests, including some fish sauce, came quickly. Food arrived promptly. Toilets in the lower ground floor area with further seating are a bit on the small side.

Best Vietnamese restaurant around, always my go to, Love the Chicken Bun Sa, the starters are amazing always look forward to ordering a wide selection of starters, the customer service is by far the best, always feel welcome , staff are super helpful and approachable, after my meal I ended up ordering again to take home.

Absolutely mandatory every time I'm in London. Maybe not the cheapest Vietnamese restaurant in London but good quality with great service. The entrance area is relatively small with 4-5 tables, but there is a lot more space in the basement. The best way to reach it on foot is from the Covent Garden Tube, alternatively Embankment or Leicester Square. Update April 28, 2024: I was here again yesterday for the first time in three years and was very disappointed. Prices have been raised massively, portions have been significantly reduced and quality has been noticeably reduced. Even though we have come here again and again in the past for nostalgic reasons, there are plenty of alternatives around the corner that we will try out in the future.

Excellent meal at fabulous restaurant. We went for dinner before seeing a show. We had booked a table and that looked to have been a good idea as it was pretty busy but that made for a good atmosphere. The service was friendly and the food was excellent. Very tasty and generous portions. Would definitely go again.

The service here was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We felt welcomed and cared for there. We only wanted to share something quick and light, so we ordered the green papaya salad with beef. It was so delicious, fresh and tangy. We left feeling very satisfied with our visit, especially the lovely service we received.

A great place for comfort food! The oxtail pho is so delicious and filling - perfect for the cold. Everything tastes fresh and our table was served with care. Prices are great for central London too. They can be busy sometimes but it’s definitely worth the wait.

Staff was very nice. Ordered the ox cheek pho and the spring rolls. The pho was decent but the spring rolls were quite dry and bland. Price was reasonable given its location is very central. Looks like a good place to go if friends are vegan/vegetarian as well.

Everything was delicious and very well prepared.

It wasn’t bad but I’ve just had way better Vietnamese food in London.

Fresh, quick and delicious Vietnamese food and such friendly, attentive staff. We loved sharing starters together - the salt and pepper tofu was so good we forgot to take a photo! The bun cha was great too.

Nice food and good service. My usual pre theatre restaurant. Definitely recommend.

I had the noodles soup with beef and pork. Meat had no flavour and 60% fat. Didn't enjoy it at all.

Tasty food, rich flavors and outstanding service. We will definitely be back.

Whole grilled sea bass was awful - mushy and flavourless. Starters were ok.

Fantastic experience! Excellent balance of delicious food, ambience and value for money :-)

Cozy and tasty Vietnamese. A little pricier than other Vietnamese places but to be expected in Covent garden.

Amazing food!!!!!! AND the service was absolutely incredible. The staff gifted us 20% off and a free bottle of Prosecco for a bridal party. 10/10 would recommend.

Great portions and the pho’s broth is tasty. Ox cheeks were a tad chewy. Other than that, it’s a lovely dining experience.

This Restaurant was one of our shops of a Hen Party. We did reserve for a later time but called and got an earlier spot. First thing, we got a prosecco bottle on the house and xx% off, because of this special event. Servers were all great and made great food recommendations. Speaking of food, it came like 5 minutes after we ordered and all things tasted amazing 👏 It was one of the best customer experiences ever and we all appreciated this more then kind gesture! Not only great food but a restaurant that are putting great effort in the customer well-being. Thank you again and we will definitely come back :)

Food is delicious and staff very friendly. Wouldn't order the scallops again - paid almost £10 for 1 and a half tiny scallops!

Cozy spot with comfortable group seating downstairs. Spring rolls were epic. Everything else was a bit bland.

Went in for a last minute meal before a show. The friendly staff found us a spot downstairs. Tasty Vietnamese food, brought quickly by the great team. It's not a long menu but everything we tried was hot and tasty. Much better than the endless chain restaurants in the area. If you're hungry and near there then check it out!

Very very good. Excellent food. Excellent service. Don't go here, if you need your own space.

Great food and great portions. Fast friendly food and service. Seats can be limited due to the small size of the restaurant but highly recommend!

Really good vegan food. A little pricey.

As a Vietnamese native, I don't often go out to eat Vietnamese food as the kitchen of mum & dad will always trump any restaurant offerings. On the occasions when my parents are either away or there's too big a gap when they would bring me food... Com Viet has been my home from home for the previous 10 years when my friends or I crave Vietnamese food. The starters they offer are very diverse and offer you probably the best 'street food' experience of all the Vietnamese restaurants I have tried. I would highly recommend the beef in betel leaf, the grilled quail and the 'Com Viet' Cha, add to that the Papaya or the Mango salad and you have yourself a great meal. If you're extra hungry the Pho or Bun Bo Hue are both delicious. Often in Vietnamese cuisine it is about how well the ingredients are cooked, but it also how good the pairing condiments go with it. Com Viet's Nuoc Mam dipping sauce is on point and it is used so often in Vietnamese dishes that it is the most vital condiment, and they get it right here. It balances sweet, savoury, sour, spicy and umami, all the elements that Vietnamese cuisine tries to balance out so that no one element overpowers the others. For the grilled quail, they serve this with a salt, lemon, lime & chilli dip - it is how it would be served at a streetfood stall in Vietnam. These small details are what keeps me and my friends coming back. The staff here are all wonderfully friendly and always make you feel welcome. For the price and the quality of the food, you can't beat this restaurant if you want great Vietnamese food. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant, with competitive pho, especially the broth. Funny and friendly staff! We recommend as a family!

Excellent food. Wonderful service. Great, cosy booth downstairs. Will definitely be back.

Lovely Vietnamese lunch to celebrate the lunar new year. There are many vegetarian options that are clearly labelled, for example okra with spring onions; summer rolls with tofu; papaya salad; soya chilli tofu... The staff were really friendly, too.

This little Covent Garden Vietnamese restaurant is larger than it first appears as there is downstairs seating as well as the few tables you see as you walk in. We ordered the tofu curry and bún Hà Nội and we really enjoyed both. Authentic flavours and tasted delicious. The menu is quite large so I’d be curious to come back and try some of the other dishes too. Have to mention also that the staff were very friendly and professional. Cảm ơn!

The dining experience was super good! The pho is wonderful. The beef soup is absolutely fresh. Love pho! And the duck breast is so delicious, so I finished the whole plate even those garlic insides.

Nive food, nice people and nice big tables. Overall we were satisfied.

The food is very authentic, lovingly prepared and very tasty. The service is attentive. The price-performance ratio is right.

Amazing restaurant - a gem in central London. Meat was exquisite, the balance of spices too. We orderer Com Saigon, the charcoaled pork chops were full of taste, marinated in lemon grass and Bun Bo Hue, spicy version of Pho with beef - my partner was very happy about the spice level, as he loves hot food. As starters we ordered Tamarind Soup and Winter Melon soup, both portions very surprisingly big, I’d definitely recommend this place and happily come back to try other dishes from the menu. On top of delicious food, the service was outstanding. Person who was taking care of our table was extremely nice and helpful. The atmosphere was tranquil and relaxed.

The pho with prawns and the water spinach were both super delicious! We were lucky to get a table because it got busy really quick. Located right in the middle of Covent Garden.

Nice food and kind staffs!! Foods contain rich flavour and taste so healthy!!

Pretty decent Vietnamese food. Probably not very traditional, but the quality, flavour and service is all there. Fairly priced in my opinion. Staff members were helpful and warm. Even though it is not a huge place, just stop thinking that decoration is all, you go to a restaurant so that the food is the one talking for you to make the judgement. And this is one of those places. Btw, some of the best shiitake I've tried in my entire life, I'll be going tomorrow to ask where they get them.

비오는 날엔 국물이 먹고싶으니까 쌀국수 맛집 찾아서 갔다. 근데 정말로 맛집이었고 친절한 식당이었다. 국물에서 생강이 좀 자꾸 느껴져서 몇번 놀랐는데 그래도 쌀국수와 스프링롤 아주 맛있음.

I really enjoyed the food - quick and delicious

The food was very tasty, and we enjoyed it, although it could have been a little hotter (temperature wise). Hopefully the door closer will be repaired soon! Happy to go back

2023년 1월과 2024년 1월, 두 번 방문했는데 일부러 찾아가서 먹을 만큼 맛있고 직원들도 친절했습니다.

Food was delicious/ fantastic, great atmosphere and service. Would recommend to anyone to try... Will definitely be back for more..

Cosy little restaurant that I’ve walked by for years and finally went to try. They opened promptly at 12pm and my server was super friendly, she greeted me with a smile and made me feel comfortable. My ox cheek pho came quickly and was better than expected, they’re generous with the meat. It wasn’t piping hot but delicious nonetheless. Also great that they had good heating in this cold weather!

Food was delicious but nothing special. Price is London centre price. But staffs are so friendly and nice.

Update: I don't go there that often, but always a contender when we're in town. Still delicious, reasonable priced food and friendly service. Jan 2024 Delicious food and good service. Downstairs was actually nicer than we thought it would be. Would go again if I was in the neighborhood.

Fast and great food . Defiantly would comeback again

Nous avons diné dans la salle du bas qui était très cozy et calme. La nourriture était vraiment bonne mais surtout les serveurs particulièrement gentils, à l’écoute et arrangeants !

Great value for money: delicious food, friendly staff and good prices. Recommended if you’re visiting Covent Garden for a night out.
