Hu'o'ng VIÊT in Hackney

The decor very basic but the food is very good no alcohol sold but you can brim your own beer or wine. I enjoyed the food a d service wzs good

Booked via the fork and it was 50% off Ala carte menu. On arrival was informed that it was only a selection for dishes from the mains which made the deal we came for lunch inaccurate- I have feedback to the Fork separately with regards this! Interior looked cheap and table was crammed. Very uncomfortable seating. We ordered the starters on vegetarian spring rolls and it turned up after we had our mains! Absolutely ridiculous to have your starters after your mains. It was also so oily that we had to put it in our serviettes to get rid of the excess oil. The mains orders was the lemongrass and ginger seafood- Was clear that the seafood was out of a frozen packet due to the way the squid look and how small the scallops was ! The dish was yellow! The worse part was we found a ladies hair in it so had to send it back- but as it didn’t taste good( the scallops tasted awful)we asked that it wasn’t replaced. The other dish of prawn with ginger and spring onions turned up after we turned the first seafood dish and it looked pretty much the same except it wasn’t yellow but tasted similar this time prawn out of a frozen pack. They were gracious enough to apologise about the hair and gave us 50% off everything which meant the spring rolls and the drinks. What they should have done is taken the dish with hair off the bill completely. My only compliment is that the Vietnamese coffee was good and the lady who served us was polite. Food was poor and general experience here was not good!

Amazing food, service, and open late! We loved the spring rolls and chicken pho— the pho was on par with the pho we had in Vietnam. The broth was incredible, our sweet server brought me more. We loved it so much that we went twice during a week stay in London. Can’t wait for my next trip to London so I can go back!

Small Portions, high price! My girlfriend and I came here based on the google reviews. However, we were both left disappointed with the small portion sizes and the cost of each item. Biggest dissatisfaction was the size of my noodles. £12 for a plate of crispy noodles with prawns. The prawns was a decent amount, but noodles… lack of! Also, suggest you to stay away from the prawns in sugar cane stick. £10 for two bites. Worth heading up to to other Vietnamese places kingsland road or head to Cay Tre which is round the corner. We think all the google reviews are fake or blown out of proportion! You’ve been warned.
