Huong viet in Hackney

For me it is beef pho every time!!

One of the few most authentic places in London. Staff is very friendly and welcoming! If you’re looking for a nice breakfast with Pho like me, that’s the place!

We stopped by en route to an event, and this restaurant looks unassuming on the outside, hidden by a Bahn Mi sandwich shop. Inside we were greeted by soft lighting and tasteful decorations, as well as an extensive menu. I chose the beef steak pho, while my partner had the Buddha noodles. We saw that this restaurant has won awards while inside sipping Hanoi beer and lychee juice. The food was incredibly prompt, and completely delicious. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try, as it is also very affordable - especially for London prices!

Stumbled upon this place last night when looking for a late night dinner. Honestly amazed it stays open so late. Food was amazing, portions were generous. All the vegetables and garnishing was fresh which is a big deal to me, esp that Mango Papaya salad, lovely. Literally cannot go wrong even if you've never had Vietnamese food before. Drinks are also really nice Staff were polite and fast. Kinda obsessed, I will be visiting again to try out more of the menu 😊.

The food is lovely if you want to try a nice vietnamese cuisine ,the atmosphere is lovely not so busy and you find a place to sit and enjoy your meal. Is not Halal as they serve pork but you can have a vegetarian option.

- Cozy restaurant with a homely vibe - Quick and friendly service - Appetizers tasted great - However, as a Viet myself I didn’t find the broth dishes (Pho and Bun Bo) authentic at all. The broth didn’t really taste correctly and the Bun Bo also came with ham sausages which is not how it’s supposed to be. - Good drinks options, I enjoyed the mocktails I would probably be back to try more appetizers and other non-broth dishes.

I love this restaurant so much that I can have their Bun Bo Hue 30 days a month. That’s how much I love the food. Service is quick and staffs are friendly. And I also wanna say I’m sorry that staffs have to deal with racism and racist jokes from uncultured, uneducated, and rude customers. Dealing with racism and microagression gives people trauma, toxic stress, and definitely impacts staffs’ well-being in the long run. I hope their manager is taking actions to protect these lovely people’s mental health and also to counteract racists.

Authentic Vietnamese food that tastes delicious. It is Halal too and offer a variety of foods. I recommend the Beef Pho.

My chicken and prawns were both extremely dry in the Singapore noodles. It was bland and overcooked sorry.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The service is absolutely amazing. Every time I have been they have been so friendly and offer amazing recommendations. The food is wonderful - the beef curry and mamas chicken being two personal favourites. The Thai pancake, and summer rolls are also something special. I have brought many people here and they all absolutely love it! If I could, I would eat here every night.

So tasty and authentic Vietnamese food

This is hands down the BEST bahn mi in London!! Made fresh to order every time, the bread is always crispy and fresh, delicious salad, aromatic pate and a huge helping of massive freshly cooked meat! Highly recommend you get the prawns with chicken liver pate. The woman who works in the takeaway window (seemingly everyday?!) is so friendly and an outstanding chef! We live a few minutes walk away and this is categorically the best food you can get for under £10 in the Shoreditch area ❤️

Fantastic. Had a glorious sliced beef Pho. Broth was extremely tasty. Excellent service.

Incredibile banh mi - very friendly staff too. Thank you!

Chicken wings of crack! A pokey and popular venue. Having visited a few times, I've always seen it busy so making a reservation would be wise during busy periods. The food has been reliably high quality and the portion are generous. The decor is very down to earth and casual, it probably doesn't accurately represent the quality of the offering

Nice little place with great customer service, food was excellent

Delicious steak Pho. Great service and location.

Good find for a Vietnamese restaurant for those who would miss it during a trip! Delicious pho and bun bo 👌

This is a Vietnamese restaurant run by a Vietnamese owner. I ordered spicy rice noodles and beer. I requested that the cilantro be removed and it was reflected well. I visited because I wanted spicy and warm food, and was able to leave feeling psychologically satisfied. Good for detox the day after drinking alcohol.

Great banh mi !!!! Super soft - crunchy & came out warm. So much filling - the veggies were pickled to perfection!

The food was wonderful! My partner is Vietnamese and said it was the most authentic food he's had in the UK so far. The only suggestion I would make is that some dishes came with nuts, but were not listed as ingredients on the menu. Nut allergies can be fatal, it's extremely important allergens are communicated in some way, I'd really encourage you to update your menus.

The food here is amazing, I ordered a pho, it warmed me up and it was very delicious! The portion was very big as well so I appreciated it. The service was good, they were very fast! I would come here again it's a good place❤️

Great food and super service. Great sized portions and plenty on the menu to choose from. Staff were friendly and professional. Damn London and air conditioning though, my only minor complaint is that it was quite warm.

Service was good. But we didn’t really enjoyed the bun. Bun ga nuong sauce is too sweet and grilled chicken lacks the “grill flavour” (relative to neighboring Vietnamese restaurant around the hood). The sour fish pho soup tasted pretty flat - diluted and just plain lime tasting.

Super place in a nice zone. The prices are super good for the hood and the food is amazing.

5/5 . Amazing food at reasonable price and massive portions. Fresh and delicious flavour in all the dishes with efficient and friendly service. Overall great meal out and we had leftovers to take home at about £20 per person. Only negative to mention is the bathroom was dirty but don’t let that put you off.

Pho quality very bad! Just a few small pieces of beef in the whole bowl of noodles! The bean sprouts looked dirty and brownish! Should have taken photos to share my disappointment to other customers . Not worth coming! Toilet conditions horrible and next to the kitchen!! Should have taken the photos of the toilet too! Simply disgusting in a restaurant!

amazing foods and very good service.

Great food, excellent and friendly service. Will be coming back again!

The best Vietnamese coffee in London. The sweetness and coffee flavor are just right. For noodles, I ordered beef and brisket rice noodles. The soup tastes fresh and delicious! The portion size is indispensable, as you can add bean sprouts, coriander and mint. Already a London love❤️

Delicious pho - flavourful broth - authentic - not like chain shop pho - fair price for the area, friendly kind service

Best beef Pho I've ever had. Awesome place to eat!

Excellent all round. Staff were helpful and food was great. Special experience for an anniversary meal and birthday. Thank you Huong Viet!

Best bahn mi in london, hands down! Generous with the filling 😋

Great hospitality and fantastic food, I recommend that people come to this restaurant it’s an amazing advertisement for Vietnamese Food

GO EAT HERE. The service is so friend and the food is amazing. Portions are also large. I am vegetarian and there are loads of options. This was the best Vietnamese food I've had. Order the HOI AN BANH‘ XEO PANCAKE because it is delicious.

Staff were super quick and attentive, beef and chicken pho's were great. Best prawn toast ice ever eaten.

The best pho broth I’ve had in London! I got the combo and the tendon was really tender and soft. The spring rolls were also delicious and really crispy. Servers were lovely and attentive. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Delicious food and big portion size. Must try 💗

Halal options! Would definitely recommend their prawn toast (best I’ve had) and Vietnamese coconut iced coffee. I also ordered their prawn summer rolls, chicken banh mi and lychee juice (not sure of the exact name). All were fantastic.

Weapons grade Bánh mì! Easily the best I’ve had in London in 10 years. Will be back.

Average pho, spring roll is crispy and flavourful, a great night spot in Shoreditch area.

Pho is good but a bit pricey. Service from friendly staff members

Ordered a beef banh mi on ubereats but some parts of the beef were undercooked and very clearly pink - and within an hour of eating this I had a terrible stomach ache and felt sick

Best pho I have ever tried. Simply amazing. I went there two days in a row.

best banh mi best summer rolls best pho

The service wasn’t great but the food was! I was brought the wrong dish but just ate it anyway.

Frequent customer of Asian descent. Staff are great and food as well as turnaround time is good. Would definitely recommend.

I'm not sure how this got such good reviews, every thing was bland. The beef with lemon grass in the cold noodle had absolutely no flavour and was very dry. The pho broth tasted like salted water. The fried noodles were equally bad. To top it off my stomach did not feel right after eating. Avoid if you actually Vietnamese food. *Edit* response to the owner below, I can't believe you caused me of not visiting your restaurant. In fact I am now convinced that your other reviews are indeed fake or from people who have never been to the many actual authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Shoreditch.

First time trying this place and it was very good! We ordered the chicken pho and tofu summer roll and both were delicious and very nice portions.

This is the first time I've tried a truly tasty and spicy Pho in London. When we were looking for a place to eat, I hesitated a lot about going here because of the exterior appearance of the place but believe me that it's totally worth it. While I was waiting for our order I told my friends how this place could be so highly ranked on Google maps. After trying the broth of the pho, I understood everything.

It's perfect when you're craving hot soup. It's as delicious as the rice noodles you eat in Vietnam. Visited twice while in Shoreditch. It is very delicious!!!!!

Food was exceptional! The flavours were great, portion sizes ideal and the atmosphere was calm. We will definitely be back!

Bhan mi's are amazing. Can order from the street till late.

Best Vietnamese spring rolls I’ve EVER had. perfectly crispy and amazing filling, not too oily and perfectly seasoned. The Pho broths is one of my favourite in London - absolutely delicious and deep flavours. The noodles are fresh and chewy, not breaking apart. The beef was melt in the mouth! 100/10 can’t wait to go again. Friendly service too!

Dined on my own on a Monday lunchtime as the only customer. Fresh Vietmanese flavours, well priced for the location

The seafood platter is to die for!

Please wrap broth container in saran wrap for delivery. Broth container was basically empty because it spilled before getting to me.

got the order wrong and not fresh

Superb pho!! The broth is perfect

I was craving pho and was looking for a halal place and found this gem. I called before taking the 1.5 hour trek there. Totally worth it. The pho was very original and reminded me of the one I had in Hanoi. Super flavorful and the quantity was big. The cabbage beef salad and the prawn summer rolls were perfect. The service was great and the staff were friendly. I think I've found a place I'd go back again. Highly recommend and the beef and chicken are halal!

Hi had a quick lunch, service was quick, kind and polite. The restaurant is small and simple with some nice pictures on the wall. Food is lovely I really enjoyed. I had a starter and a main. Also the price is affordable The also have a little window where you can order from outside.

Hands down best bahn mi I’ve had in my life!

Great food, quick service and unbeatable prices for the area !

Initially hesitant, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian dishes at the restaurant. While my friends enjoyed their non-vegetarian options, the burst of flavors in the vegan dish won me over. With a cozy ambiance and a menu catering to diverse tastes, This restaurant offers a delightful dining experience for all.

Had the lunch menu with spring rolls to take away, was really nice and arrived quickly

Nice little Vietnamese restaurant. We had the beef Pho and the prawn Pho and for starters the salt and pepper squid that was tasty. Overall, a solid little restaurant but don't expect anything mind-blowing.

Went for dinner and really enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. I ordered the fresh rolls with shrimp, beef bun hue and the ginger and mint tea. The rolls were good but could do with a bit more filling. The bun hue broth is absolutely delightful and it was filled to the brim with ham and beef. My only complaint was that the broth was not quite boiling hot to cook the bean sprouts and the beef was very tough.

Their Broh was sensational. Service was great.

Very delicious and affordable food. Quality of the Vietnamese flavors and food was solid and very much enjoyed! Been here 2x and will definitely come back. Small space with fine decor, they make it work.

Found this Vietnam restaurant that was open on Sunday. Nice little place. The food was very good. Came in when it was quiet but it quickly filled up. Service was good. Recommended.

Cute little spot. Spring rolls were yummy. Vegetarian Pho unfortunately didn't taste of much and the vegetarian pancake was a bit too thin and not much flavour. I think we might have had a different experience if we'd ordered a rice or noodle dish as these all looked great on the neighbouring tables. Liked that we didn't feel rushed.

I love Vietnamese food, and I've eaten so many places in London. And then I've just had the best spring rolls ever! I feel so happy. And the staff in this restaurant are so warm-hearted. I’ll be back soon with my friends.Thank you so much😘

THIS IS A MUST TO GO PLACE. You cannot miss this delightful Vietnamese cousine, I was blushing of what to choose. I will visit again with more friends as this place made me feel at home, and the staff it beyond friendly: they treat you as a family member. Thank you for having us tonight, will definitely visit again

Chanced upon this as I walked out of the hotel and boy, I made the right choice! Broth is flavourful and noodles are cooked to perfection. Welcoming to the cold weather here.

Delish Pho, but everything else wasn't fresh and oily. The fried rice, the chicken satay.

The cuisine was enjoyable, yet I recall having an even more delightful experience with similar dishes in Dublin, which is why I'm rating it below 5 stars. However, I must commend the staff for their exceptional friendliness and service

Delicious flavours! Beautifully presented too. Good value and large portions. Definitely highly recommended.

It was a pleasant food experience in London. The mango salad and banh mi are must try!!! Very tasty, full of flavors. Pho has nice broth and very tender beef/chicken. Lychee juice is also very very good., highly recommended. The staff also very friendly and helpful.

This please is not clean. The kitchen is out of any standrats. Too much noodles, not enough meet and vegetables. The price is overrated

Really great authentic food and staff. We came across it as we were staying nearby. The staff were really friendly and not the type to rush you. The food was really good and the price was shocking.. we expected it to be more expensive. We both has Beef Pho, the broth was insanely nice. 100% worth a visit!

Very nice Vietnamese food. Great summer rolls. Affordable lunch menu. Sorry I loved the pistachio ice cream so much I forgot to take a photo when it's intact. Lol

Genuine pho: tendon, tripe, brisket, flank, in a deep , delicious broth. I made a scene by my animalistic behaviour.

Consistently good food and service!

The food is authentic and delicious. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

It was chaotic on a Thursday evening, but perhaps my experience was due to it being full. Cramped seating but servers in general are nice, just tired perhaps 😅 took a while to get a menu, and I didn’t get cutlery or a napkin when my food came. My pho came out very quickly, and was fairly average. Lots of customers having a great time though, so alright for a quick weeknight meal.

Amazing food & lovely staff! 10/10

Really impressive meal. Very high quality food (seemingly without the edges sanded down for the English palate, which is great), an obvious obsess with cleanliness and very good service. Can imagine becoming regulars.

Delicious food! Super attentive and friendly service. I’ll definitely be coming back :)

“The people who give you their food give you their heart.”

Lovely authentic Vietnamese food!

Really lovely pho and genuinely delicious food. Spicy curry though just be aware

This place is perfect for a laid back, no frills, affordable dinner where you're not struggling to hear your friend over loud music. The food is quick and delicious. I've had both dine in and takeaway - don't sleep on the takeaway banh mi! It's packed full of flavor.

Great food, really big portions and always delicious.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, discounted lunch menu. Food is reasonable but the pho was not the best

Amazing food, arrived very quickly and value prices. 5* all round.

Growing up in Flushing, Queens NYC Pho was on every corner and this place reminded me of the pho I had growing up. Everything was so good!

Amazing food, been coming here over the past year and the standard of food has been very consistent. The pho and crispy prawn noodles are out of this world. Good service, friendly staff, good music too. Would recommend for everyone wanting to try out Vietnamese cuisine!

Best pho ever here. Their pho broth is incredible

Best pho in London yet, and we've been to quite a few places already.
