Good Morning Vietnam in Wandsworth

Reliable cantonese serving largish portions, a staple for years opposite the station, has now gone and closed down, it was pretty empty last time I went, but this is still a sad loss. Best wishes to the long serving chap at the counter and the ladies serving.

ordered the pho soup tasted like water no flavour what's so ever tasted more Chinese than Vietnamese might as well call it boiled water soup hardly any herbs worst meat balls tasted like dog food the only thing that was good was there Vietnamese coffee this is more chinese than vietnamese

¡La mejor comida vietnamita! Personal increíble, son tan encantadores, está súper limpio y la comida es deliciosa. Por favor, si aún no lo ha probado, ¡vaya! También hacen comida para llevar, ¡que es increíble!

Comida barata, bastante deliciosa y una gran variedad de platos. Es un restaurante sin emociones, bueno para comer aquí cuando necesitas algo barato y rápido.

Esta pequeña joya encantadora en un lugar encantador para comer auténtica comida vietnamita o incluso puedes tomar una comida para llevar. El personal es extremadamente amable y los precios son buenos.

I used to live in the Falcon's Estate near Clapham Junction railway station. Good Morning Vietnam was my favorite local oriental restaurant. However, bear in mind that despite its name Good Morning Vietnam is a Chinese not Vietnamese restaurant. I always patronize Good Morning Vietnam during my yearly visit to London. My favorite meal is Salt and Pepper Tofu start and Black Bean Tofu main.

entrati per caso in questo ristorante nella zona in cui alloggiavamo, siamo rimasti positivamente colpiti dalle quantità delle porzioni e dalla velocità del servizio. Abbiamo optato per un piatto vietnamita e uno cinese ed entrambi sono stati davvero ottimi, era evidente come la cucina tradizione e la gestione familiare del posto avessero reso i piatti ancora più gustosi.

I often eat their food as a take away as it is convenient and it does taste excellent! Very good prices and friendly people.Joy to eat their food!

It's OK food, a bit much but I like it, service is normally OK, overall its good, go here a bit and normally just for launch.

Was changing trains at Clapham and needed some food. A quick look at Trip Advisor and this restaurant seemed worth a visit. An extensive menu-mainly Chinese but a bit of Vietnamese and Thai also. Quick service. Cheap. Large portions and the food was ok too. (Alcohol also very reasonably priced).

Really good value for money. Super tasty food. I was surprised because It was so reasonably priced. There was no music which felt a bit strange. HIGHLY recommend their wonton soup.

Spent a week in London with my kids, used GMV as my regular stop for food after a day out. I have food allergies and the staff were extremely helpful when I mentioned this. Food fantastic value and extremely tasty. Everytime I went in I was greeted as if they knew me

Definitely recommend this chinese. small and quirky. doesnt look anything special but the food is great. Loved all the dishes and the staff were super friendly. I would recommend if you wanted a proper chinese sit in (without anything fancy) this is the place

I come to this restaurant every week once or twice as its my fave Asian takeaway in whole London! Very near to my home and the staff there are very sweet. The best food recommended are Vietnamese and Thai I think.

This restaurant is open long hours (11pm weekdays and 10pm on Sunday). Staff are great; helpful and friendly. I visited before and food was exceptional, but was slightly greasy this time. Nevertheless, great value for money still.

Situated opposite Clapham Junction station so perfect for a quick lunch before my train home.

We were looking for a tasty dinner before attending a tourist trip in central London. We happened upon what appeared to be a Vietnamese restaurant, however, having perused the menu, it became apparent that this was a Chinese. The food was fine, but we were a little disappointed that it wasn't as we thought.

My husband and I had a quick dinner here in Saturday night. We were disappointed to realise that this is NOT a Vietnamese restaurant but in fact Chinese. Notwithstanding this we were looking forward to our dishes: roast pork hofun and vegetables noodle soup. Portions were large and the food tasted fresh but the stir-fry was too oily and the soup lacked flavour. Service was friendly and efficient and prices low.

We ordered the prawn dim sum, steamed pork buns and black bean dish. It was all super delicious and well priced. Sure to be our new regular takeaway!

No 'airs and graces' here - just tasty, quick Chinese food. I enjoy the Chicken wings, and the Chicken in Plum Sauce with lashings of their homemade chilli oil thrown over it. Very close to Clapham Junction station - ideal for a super-quick lunch!

Vimos el restaurante situado frente a la estación de Clapham Junction, estaba hambriento, así que no dudes, ya que me encanta la comida vietnamita. Quedó claro desde el menú que fue un café caro chino pero me.

Visitamos el restaurante en septiembre antes de ir a un concierto cerca.

I've been going to this cafe for years and it's always been tremendous value for money, good big portions, wide choice, very tasty.

La comida aquí es tan bueno! Mi marido ha sido quieran visitar este lugar conmigo durante años, pero siempre he descartado porque restaurantes en una localización privilegiada (directamente enfrente de la bulliciosa Clapham Junction) normalmente no ofrecen decente, comida sana. Oh cielos, estaba muy equivocado. La sopa caliente y amarga sabía absolutamente auténtico y completo de todos los ingredientes para el plato llamado variado. El stir frito en salsa de choi sum oyster era fresco y perfectamente sazonada. El hauntingly tomyum sopa de fideos era deliciosa. Lo que es más, y es difícil encontrar en Londres es el auténtico aceite de chili Chiu Chow siempre en las mesas - tan deliciosamente sabrosa! Muy generosas porciones y un servicio atento. Ambos tenemos ganas de volver.

Como se indica en la línea de asunto, la comida es muy buena. Pero todo lo demás es decepcionante - Servicio, ambiente, y la calidad de la experiencia. Algunos otros críticos experiencias sobre el personal tanto soso y anillos de verdad. Ellos pueden hacer que este lugar fiel a su potencial con ajustes sencillos en su outlook. Lo recomendaría por su comida, quizás me puede hacer una comida para llevar la próxima vez, pero no lo recomendaría para una.

Me decidí a conseguir comida para llevar desde aquí recientemente y el menú parecía bueno pero me decepcionó tan pronto como entré en la puerta. El personal parecía miserable y no eran muy amables. Yo pedí un pollo satay. Luego asado de cerdo y pato asado con arroz frito con huevo. El satay estaba bien, pero el principal era inexpresivo. La carne estaba hecha, la salsa era insípida y el arroz sabía raro.

We ate here before a visit to a concert recently and was surprised by the huge quantities of food (rice) we got. The food was nice enough although I asked for a green thai curry and it was more akin to a Chinese curry, but still tasted good but not as spicy as I was told it was going to be.The waitress is very keen, sometimes too keen, but still thats better than being ignored in my opinion. The decor resembles a old style wimpey, and I suppose this is really a cafe, in a great location, so if its cheap and cheerful food that you want, you cant go wrong with this place.

I've reviewed this place before. It's just as good as ever. Been back about six times since - and I love it.

We stopped in here en route between the train station and a friend's birthday drinks. We needed somewhere nearby to line the stomach. This place fulfilled those functions.The portions are a good size and value for what you get. I had the Kung Po chicken, very tasty and spicy.This place is not a glamorous luxury spot and isn't going to rock your world, but it provides a good meal at a reasonable price, conveniently located.

Been here to eat in several times, and without a decent Chinese take out where we live thought I'd stop off on the way back from London as I had to change at Clapham. Yes it's London prices, but lush Singapore noodles, pork with bok choi and chicken satay. Best bit was the Vietnamese spring rolls. Delicious. They do a mean char sui pork bun too. And I think the staff are great, busy and loud but always smiley. Perhaps our local Chinese offerings are just bad, cause this beats them hands down....

I love this place! The food amazing the people who served us were very friendly! The restaurant is nice clean and tidy! We had take away and it was done in few minutes! We had roast duck and kung po chicken. They warned me its gonna be spicy but is just perfect! :) I will always come back here! Thank you really! :))

3 menus différents et pas déçus . bonne cuisine , prix correct et accueil parfait. Les nouilles sautées poulet crevettes sont délicieuses , le riz aussi , et les assiettes sont vraiment bien servi.

Friendly staff, delicious food, good valueI've eaten here twice in the last couple of weeks and I'm going to be back again and again.

There are many of these "greasy spoon" places in Chinatown but very few elsewhere in London (in my experience). Usually places that look like this are take away only but not GMV thank god. We had quarter of crispy aromatic duck to start it was enormous and cooked to perfection. Main course was Singapore fried noodles, egg fried rice, beef in black bean sauce and char siu. It was beautifully cooked but in the English style we over ordered. Beware the dishes are ENORMOUS. Washed it down with a couple bottles of Tsing Tao. £51 plus tip for the lot.

The boss and I had to attend a meeting in London that required us to travel the previous day. We arrived at Clapham Junction at about 9pm, after the standard 4 hour nightmare journey on the railways that delivered us to our destination over an hour late. We had not eaten since breakfast and could by then have attacked a scabby dog. We left Clapham Junction station undecided what to do and were hit by the glorious smell of garlic, chilli and ginger wafting from the door of this restaurant in the balmy evening air. A quick look inside confirmed that the place was full of locals - always a good sign. Families; teenagers on a budget; workmen after a shift - exactly what we were looking for and there was one table empty.The service was brisk and friendly and two cold beers vanished very quickly indeed. We ordered Deep Fried Crispy Shredded Beef, Sweet and Sour King Prawns and Special Fried Rice - oh, and another two beers. The food arrived freshly cooked, hot, seasoned to perfection with portions that we could not finish. Bill for two including tip was £28.It was just what we needed. Nothing fancy. Just plain good neighbourhood cooking. Long may this restaurant prosper. Next time we are in Clapham we will visit again.

If you're looking for a quick and cheap bite to eat then this is the place. It's not a place to have considered conversation but a place to refuel on your way to going somewhere else. We'd gone out with friends for a few beers and although hungry didn't fancy a full blown meal. Found this place on the off chance even though it's on the main road. Doesn't look much but we bowled in and ordered quickly. Singapore noodles with King po chicken was spicy hot and lovely. Special fried noodles full of bits and pieces and very tasty. Chicken with broccoli and mushrooms served with rice or noodles delicious. Three beers and a Diet CokeGood freshly madeWhole thing was very tasty and large portions. Total £44.20 for 4 meals - Fantastic valueWould I go again - hell yeah!Would I recommend - only as a quick bite to eat but yes definitely!

Food was served quick and was ok. Staff could be more friendlier and at least try to look pleased to see you Good value and worth a visit if you want something quick

Don't bother with this place.Expensive for what it is when you break down what you actually get.They act like a five star restaurant but are far from that.The staff are schooled in being rude particularly if they don't get the large tip they want.If I want average fast food with an attitude I will go to one of the burger joints.

It was late on a Friday evening when we popped in here for dinner. It was 10:00 PM and they are open until 11:00. Fairly extensive menu, lots of choices for starters and dim sum. The mains all come with your choice of boiled rice, fried rice, fried noodle or crispy noodle. The portions are huge. Most mains are around 7 or 8 pounds. Service was very quick but a little unfriendly. The food was fairly tasty but had a lot of MSG. If you want a large plate of no-frills Chinese/Vietnamese food near the Clapham Junction train station, head here.

I love this place for quick cheap food, after a pint or two.Singapore style Vermicelli noodles are a favourite of mine, but their Chinese style curries are good as well.Look out for the fruit chew with your bill!

Have eaten here a few times, usually after a couple of beers on my way home from work when I need something quick and filling. The portions are really big and good value for money, service is usually friendly and always really fast. It's more of a cafe/takeaway experience than a restaurant one, but the informality if it suits the food; simple, tasty and convenient. I would say it seems a little more Chinease than Vietnamese, but I'm no expert!

So I've stopped here after not having eaten all day....It was full of their own people which made me go in. I ordered the Kong Po Prawns with egg fried rice. I had no complaints. Full of flavor and a big enough portion to satisfy any appetite. I can't find fault. I'd definitely come again.

Just a cheap Chinese - NOT Vietnamese. Food packed with MSG and lacking in fresh ingredients and taste. Shrimps tasted like they were going to make me unwell - glad I only ate one.

Popped over on NYE with a couple of mates for a quick bite (at around 10.30pm ). We were informed that the shop was going to be shut at 11pm and were asked to be mindful of that. They should have just asked us to find some other place to eat. We were asked to pay the bill before food was served. Food was prepared in 2 minutes. I'd ordered a pho which didn't taste very good at all (the soup tasted a bit like hot water). They'd shut the toilets before we were over and done with and its not like prices were reasonable - everything is extortionately priced or at least not commensurate with the quality of the food and the service. I was asked to down my drink and to get lost. They were some positives but altogether a bad experience. By all means do give the place a try but whatever you do do not get there anytime after 10pm.

Went with a friend after the rugby on the way home. Had an OK meal but was a bit congealed and definitely had nicer.Big issue was the next day when both my friend and I felt ill and bloated all day and the only explanation seems to be the food (same symptoms and issues).Avoid!

You will get a really good meal in here, fresh, hot and filling, Chinese comfort food at its best, £10 will be enough to have a meal, soft drink and a £1 tip to the server,

Met a friend for dinner and the two of us ate a good sized duck starter and 2 generous main courses for £25. Don't go expecting Michelin star cooking but it is tasty food at a reasonable price in a very convenient location opposite Clapham Junction station. Staff are friendly and service was quick and whilst the decor was basic it was clean and tidy. The menu had more of a Chinese than Vietnamese feel to it. I'll go back.

Food average which was ok when the prices were low but this chines cafe is getting more expensive as they keep putting prices up.The staff can also be very rude!They will take your money without any eye contact or a thank you to be seen.I think they expect a tip for walking 4 feet from the kitchen and plonking your plate down in front of you in silence.As an ex regular customer I will not be going back again.

I am traveling around the world for 6 months so I am always looking for good value meals. I have been to this Vietnamese restaurant twice now because the food is fresh and tasty and the serving size is massive. Very basic decor but this place which is run by Vietnamese is always busy. Most dishes around 7 to 8 pounds

Great service. Food arrived in 10 minutes. Really recommended getting the Sweet & Sour Pork with Egg Noodles.

Extremely expensive. They charge more here than if u were to find in Chinatown London. Food is way below average tastes like it's been microwaved. Even found a cockroach crawling across the shop floor! Dunno how they manage to get pass an health and hygiene check but Iam worried for the other customers.

The restaurant is just outside Clapham Junction station and I have been here twice now. The restaurant feels more like a café than a restaurant, but this gives it a very relaxed feel. I visited with 2 friends on a Friday evening and we arrived with no booking. People are served very quickly in here so there are always free tables. The food was very good and very competitively priced. Well worth a visit if you are in the area and looking for a nice, cheap, quick meal. Will definitely return again.

Great value for money, very quick service. Food hot and tasty. Will definitely be visiting again and would definitely recommend.

There's quite a large menu with a variety of combinations available on most dishes; e.g. Rice / noodles / crispy noodles. Chicken / beef / fish. The portions are LARGE and served very quickly. The mixed starter wasn't great but it wasn't that expensive either. It's not a restaurant atmosphere, more a cafe with metal tables and a take-away feel to it. As long as you're not expecting fine dining then you should have a good meal

I usually have chicken pad thai which is always huge, tasty and good value. The cafe is handily just across the road from Clapham Junction station and I often meet friends here. One is a vegetarian and she rates the fried tofu and will travel across London to fulfil the craving! Staff are efficient.

So someone said, this resto used to be cheap, then the price doubled. So what? I've dropped in and out of here for 12 years then the price doubled over the time. It's central as millions use Clapham Junction railway across the road. I consider it a Chinese resto with some Vietnamese trimmings and now it's still good food for the money you pay. Huge servings of rice or noodles will keep most happy. Good service from waitresses. I got a large plate of prawn noodles with nice crunchy prawns, so large my wife could not finish the plate. I dunno about the DIm Sum that's been added recently, it must still be good value for you. Ten pounds or less for dinner and tea. I know many restaurants will leave you hungry for spending much more money. This won't.

Nothing fancy, but a good, wholesome meal. Seemed more Chinese than Vietnamese to me. Clean, small dining room; efficient staff, with varying amounts of friendliness on offer. Quite a substantial menu. Right by Clapham Junction Station entrance, so hard to beat when seeking a quick feed, and (quite) reasonably priced too. I'll be back.

Like the last poster said, this place used to be cheap, for good food, but now the prices have doubled, yeah well they probably have, but then the place has been a Vietnamese restaurant for about twenty years, so allowing for inflation etc, prices have probably doubled, still good value for money, still nice servings, still friendly engaging staff.Come on eyeballthedancingbear, it must have been many years ago that you are talking about? you cannot seriously expect such a popular place to just be cheap forever.I love to visit this place when I am in Battersea, and I know you will too!!

this used to be a reasonable priced cafe, but the prices have doubled in last couple of years and food is exactly the same. not so good

My friend and I opened the doors of gmv at 10.55 tonight. We were met with stoney looks from the staff. We only went in ad their sign advertised they were open to 23.30. We asked if it was ok if we could sit and have a meal. Staff shouted from behind the counter "you need to be put be 23.20" - 10 minutes before they are advertised to close. It looks like this , albeit, excellent food restaurant, are getting a bit above themselves and are incredibly rude to customers. Either you are open for the hours you advertise or you are not ??

Good Morning Vietnam is a no-frills establishment opposite Clapham Junction Station, serving excellent Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. The food is superb - I had the Seafood Tom Yum Noodles and it was served in a large portion, spicy and well-seasoned. It cost around £7 which I feel was good value for the amount of food served. I'm no expert on Thai cuisine but it seemed very authentic and the restaurant also seemed to attract patrons who were Vietnamese/Thai (i.e. I noticed they spoke to the waiting staff in their native tongue). That to me is generally a good sign that the food is authentic. Atmosphere-wise the restaurant is a simple cafe-style establishment, similar in style to a greasy spoon cafe. The decor is essentially laminated photos of all their dishes on the walls, with the number allocated to it, for ease of ordering. The service wasn't amazing but there was nothing to complain about either - they were very busy at lunchtime and the waitresses were doing a great job in keeping everything going. Recommended - I would definitely return for another meal.

Situated in the prime spot, right opposite the main entrance to Clapham Junction station lies this fairly average looking Chinese café. It not a restaurant and never pretends to be, just tasty Chinese food in pleasant café atmosphere - all cooked freshly to order. No bells and whistles, cheap prices (for Clapham) and plenty of choice.My family have been going to GMV for over 10 years now, still run he by the same family, all with great service and plenty of banter. If you are passing by, take the time to stop in for lunch or grab a meal when going home for dinner.

good service , good choice of dishes, and drink two choose from, always seems to be packed at lunch , and now i know why, cant fault it, will go back for more,

Some standard Chinese dishes on here as well as some more authentic and interesting Vietnamese ones. All Viet dishes are great, cooked to order and full of flavour. Friendly service, relaxed atmospher. Great for a mid week meal out.

We, my son and I, been frequenting the restaurant for over 10 years.This Lunch time visit was as good as always.The restaurant is a non pretensive, nice and simple place.The service is friendly, quick and attentive.The food, we had: vegetable spring rolls, won ton soup,, vietnamese seafood soup with ho fan noodles and beef in curry sause vietnamese style.For drinks we had green tea and coke.The food was, as always, excellently cooked and presented.I'd recommend this restaurant to any of my friends.Ron Ben-Zvi.
