La Du Du in Camden

No había estado en Ladudu durante un número de años dado anteriormente el servicio terrible. Me decidí a intentarlo esta semana. La comida era sosa y inauthentic. En general, una experiencia decepcionante. Sugiero que la gente va a la vuelta de la esquina a Pham Casa para conseguir su éxito vietnamita la próxima vez. Está a un corto paseo y merece la pena!

Encantadora vietnamita amable en hampstead west - junto a los enlaces de transporte subterráneo y suburbanos. He estado en varias ocasiones con la familia y amigos y es un firme favorito. He probado muchos platos en el menú y cada una ha sido llena de sabor y deliciosos de la chuleta de cerdo con arroz y huevo a la sopa pho. Altamente recomendado!

Yo estaba muy entusiasmado en la idea de visitar ya que no tenían buena comida vietnamita durante algún tiempo. Después de visitar Ladudu aún estoy esperando. A decir que la comida era sosa y sosa es ser amable. Todo estaba perfectamente comestible, pero totalmente carente de sabor. El servicio fue bueno. Había unos pocos personal y estaban totalmente estirado-tanto que una pareja salimos de haberse vuelto cansado esperando su principal.

Está a sólo dos minutos a pie de la estación de tren west hampstead. Tuve un delicioso cerdo marinado chop - un poco punzantes que yo pensé (que me gustó). Los rollos de primavera también estaban bien. El servicio era excelente - eficiente, cortés e informativo. El lugar tiene un ambiente agradable, y los precios son razonables.

yummy vietnamese food. we tried the lemongrass vegetarian stir fry which was good. ambience is nice and service was fine. wish the serving sizes were a little larger for the price.

Segunda visita aquí, pero esta vez en lugar de clientes llevé a mi esposa vegetariana. Ella me encantó cada plato y los camareros eran muy conocedores de lo platos contenía cualquier carne o pescado. Mate la experiencia culinaria fácil como varios platos vegetarianos se destacaron amable y eran simplemente increíble. También tuvimos unos cócteles y estaban frescos y deliciosos. Con ganas de volver. A la gestión de sombreros para crear una increíble experiencia de comer.

Ambiance familiale, même avec des bébés. La nourriture était bonne mais pas exceptionnelle. Rapport qualité prix très bien.

He visitado la Du Du una vez antes y previamente me gustó mucho. Esta vez no tuve la misma experiencia.

Fuimos allí para comer un sábado con mi esposa. Mi abuela era vietnamita y utilizada para cocinar todos los días, así que sé que mi comida vietnamita. Llegamos alrededor de las 12:10, pedir la comida en 5 minutos, dieron el primer plato bastante rápido (sólo algunos rollitos de primavera para compartir) pero la red llegamos 1 horas más tarde. Para los platos principales, pedimos sólo una ternera y fideos soop (pho tai) y un plato de arroz con cerdo. Nada de lujos o complicado hacer, sin embargo, tardó 1 hora larga. El restaurante no estaba aún muy concurrido, había un montón de escaños vacíos. Los rollitos primavera de cerdo eran buenas, aunque me costó ver la carne (un montón de brotes de soja, casi no hay carne), el pho y el arroz dishe fueron ambos muy mal. Para 1 rollo primavera para compartir, dos platos principales y dos cafés vietnamitas, la cuenta fue de más de 55 libras. Y esto no es aún el centro de Londres, este es la zona 2 de Londres a los barrios. Hubiera sido más barato, más rápido (y probablemente mejor) para ir al centro de la ciudad, Zona 1. En el lado positivo, el personal era amable.

This is a great restuarant with authentic Vietnamese food. There is variety in the menu. They also have happy hour for cocktails before 730pm.

We were visiting a friend in West Hampstead and decided to introduce her to Vietnamese food when we saw Ladudu. She absolutely loved her first Vietnamese dining experience and as Americans who are much more exposed to Vietnamese fare we loved the quality of everything that we tried that included:1. Summer rolls2. Vietnamese pancakes3. A typical vermicelli dish4. A hearty Hue soupWe would return here in a heartbeat. (It is smallish and does fill up rapidly -- we also felt that the two servers were really stretched -- but they were ever polite and responsive.)

I love this place...I've tried all the vegetarian food and it's delicious. The desserts are also a must...and very friendly customer service. I'm a regular.

Was a bit nervous as we hadn't eaten Vietnamese food before. Should not have worried as the staff were very helpful and took us through the menu. When the food arrived it was vibrant , full of flavour and very very tasty. Portion sizes were more than adequate. There is a short but fun cocktail list and a choice of three Vietnamese beers. All in all it was a most enjoyable experience. The place was very busy for a Thursday night in November so booking is advised. Looking forward to our next vist.

This is in my neighbourhood and I frequent it a lot. I find Vietnamese food a lot more flavoursome and lighter than Chinese cuisine. Service is very good and the place is cosy and warm for a neighbourhood restaurant. Busy most of the times, which is totally deserved.

The only good thing about our visit here was the staff. Incredibly friendly and attentive.However, the food was bland and not worth the money. I found 2 hairs in my food. Tried to ignore the first one as was so hungry but after finding a second I was put right off! The staff took it off the bill which is good. Wouldn't go back, especially when there are plenty of other options!

We have been here 3 times now, and we feel that the food is getting better, which is always something we really like (some restaurants we feel precisely the other way). We have tried some Vietnamese in London and this seems to be one of the good ones.

Had an nice prawn coconut hotpot here, but the rice never matched the standard of the hotpot.The chicken wings were also quite bland. The spring rolls where rather dry and I found this place to be expensive in comparison to similar places in the area with better quality of food.

We couldn't be bothered to go out so ordered this via deliveroo- it was really tasty! And came sooner than expected. We had the bun xa. Would definitely recommend.

The spring rolls are amazing here, along with the black sesame ice cream. Beef and lemongrass stir fry is lovely, and staff are friendly. Service can be a bit slow on occasion

Really enjoyed our visit last Saturday. Food was really tasty and generous portions. Our server was lovely but somehow one meal from every course got delayed/forgotten. That said the delays were minimal and they were very helpful and vegan friendly too. None of us had ever had such wonderfully chunky Spring rolls. We'd go back just for them. The chilli garlic chicken was a cracker. We'd all definitely go again.

Variety of very good Vietnamese food. kind and attentive service. Nice atmosphere. Worthwhile to taste dishes that you do not know. The observant visitor expects the owner of the restaurant to be more generous and kind, especially to his committed stuff.

very good food. most of the staff were very gantle and attentive! nice atmosphere. we came back a few times and it was the same.

We stumbled on La Du Du whilst looking for a coffee and we're pleasantly surprised by it's inviting menu. We ordered the pandan pancakes with a variety of interestingly original flavours of ice cream with some traditional vietnamese ice coffees- and we were not disappointed. The pancakes were divine , with a scrumptious coconut and nut filling and we were particularly taken up with the sesame flavoured ice cream. The coffee was sweet and strong and took us back to journeys around vietnam...We will definitely be back for more!

Very good selection of juices/cocktails as well as starters and good currys. Well worth a visit to this my local. Whenever I have friends from out of town I take them here. I especially like the spring rolls to start.

Went on a Saturday evening with my wife and daughter and we received a lovely warm welcome and the food was really delicious, yet unpretentious. The service was very friendly and the waitress tremendously helpful. Certainly worthy of a recommendation all round

Visited this restaurant in the evening for a quick Pho which was authentic, healthy and yummy! The place was also quite busy which was a good sign considering it was a Tuesday evening. Also saw a steady stream of customers coming for take-always. Though we had to wait a while to be served the staff were friendly and the food was great value for money. Definitely plan to return.

We have been regular visitors to your restuarant enjoying particularly the Papaya salads however, more recently as these have been gradually getting smaller and smaller we have swapped over to your vegitarian chilli and ginger tofu, sadly this seems to have suddenly diapered completely. Thankfully your super waitress Rosea was on hand to advice use on a pancake. Excellent thank you so much xxx

Great little Vietnamese place in the heart of West Hampstead that's literally across the street from the Thameslink. The food was great and the mango smoothie was very fresh!

Since I moved to West Hampstead, whenever I had craving for some Viet noodles soup or felt too lazy to cook, I would pop by here to get some pho or other dishes with rice or even order delivery.I cant say they have been consistence with quality of the food or the service have always been great but I'm not the type to make a fuss about small details. Yet today, for the first time I dropped in for lunch, I had the worse experience I had ever experienced in a restaurant (putting it shortly: I as many other Londoners, had been to many many restaurants in the world!).The restaurant was quiet, there were 2 tables occupy at the time I walked in. I took my seat, the waitress came over to give me the menu. Then she came back to tell me about the 'special' they have for lunch with discount prices of course. Which to be honest, I'm never interested in most special menu in any restaurants anyway. So the waitress told me about their special yet no question whether I have decided on my order yet, I had to stop her before she left by asking if I can order my drink - which in any restaurant, that's the point where most waiters will ask whether their seated customers want a drink first or any appertisers.She left to get the drink. Came back with my drink and left again, no question again about whether I'm ready to order - to this point I have been seated for a bit and it's around 2pm, shouldnt I get some food by now? I waited but the manager was busy chatting with another table as well and there were just 2 of them servicing altogether. Until the waitress came by to get some newspaper along where I sat, I managed to get her attention with a question: would you like anything else? - I was suprised by that question since I thought, I came in a restaurant for food, not just for a drink which I can just go to a cafe for that - I ordered my food anyway which were: a steam rice, a stir-fry choi-sum in garlic sauce with beef extra if they can (which they have another choice of oyster sauce with exact same type of vegie) and a bowl of hot and sour soup with vegie, at this point she said yes and scribbled down, I then thought she got what I meant as in I wanted it as a soup only so I added: I want all the dishes came together, not the soup as a starter first because you get to order the soup by itself as a starter or you can have the soup with rice noodles as a main. And she just acted like she totally get what I meant. Please bear with me here since the main part is not here yet.She came back with the order paper saying they dont do beef with the stir-fry, so I asked her if I can get the soup with prawn instead and the stir-fry of choi-sum (to my defence I really did told her twice the word: choi-sum) and the rice.The food came, the stir-fry and the soup in a big bowl. I noticed that I realised she mistaken what I order as in a main. I stopped her even before the bowl touched the table, telling her: I wanted the soup only, not the one with noodles, she looked at me puzzle, I had to tell her again that: this one has noodles at the bottom, I only ordered the soup. She said she'll get it fix and left with the soup. I thought that was just a misunderstanding. Then I looked at the stir-fry dish, I realised it wasnt the vegetable I asked for but just some green beans and bean-sprouts. Before I can turn to find the waitress, the manager came and asked me: "what was the problem?" with a very unhappy face and stern attitude when she speak.I was caught of guard since I didnt expect I was making "a problem" when all I did was telling the waitress that she's mistaken my order before I even touched any food.So I told the manager that I asked for the soup only, I even told the waitress that I wanted all the dishes came out together which made me think she knows that I didnt want the soup came out as a starter before all other food. To this point, the manager asked me: did you tell her that you wanted it as a starter or as a main? - to be honest, if you're in any kind of service, you dont question your customer like that as if your customer didnt know what they want or worse, their English was too bad to read the menu to your staff.I told her: she didnt even ask me whether I want it in which way, so when I told her I wanted all the dishes together, she said yes, I thought she knows what I wanted.By now, the attitude of the manager had really put me off, the way she didnt talk to her untrained staff first, the way she came over to ask me about 'the problem' which I expect the waitress can simply go and change the order with the kitchen and deal with it herself - not having the manager had to come and ask the paying customer who hasnt even touch any food or sending it back because of any other reason. And her attitude made me felt as if she saw me as I was there trying to make trouble, not having a simple quiet lunch after my busy week. After she got what she didnt understand about me sending the dish back, she just left, saying nothing as: sorry about the misunderstanding on the order or apology for her staff's mistake; I was still in shock to even bother to tell her about the yet another-mistaken-stir-fry order. On top to all of that, the waitress after brought the soup back, left cutlery for the food, didnt even ask me if there's anything else I need or have no basic skill to even brought over a spare bowl for me to eat since all 3 dishes I ordered are a dish of stir-fry, a tiny bowl pile high up with rice or a starter bowl full of soup, I honestly didnt know how they expected me to eat. Nowhere serving any kind of Oriental food would be happy leaving their customer a table with just food and cutlery but no eating bowl or plate - it's a really basic culture knowledge.After few minutes gathered myself of the treatment I get as a paying customer, I realised the waitress has no clue about the menu nor the food she is actually serving (by not knowing about the soup options, the name of the vegetables) hence she got my order wrong and even presumed that I ordered the 'special stir-fry she earlier advertised with me when I actually wanted a totally different one. And as you are reading this, I can confidently say that even though I am an Oriental girl but my English speaking or writing is way better than even some original born and bred English people (no offence to anyone please).Even though I was so upset yet I never let anyone ruin my beautiful afternoon when the sun was shining outside, I decided to have the food anyway and not going to ever order anymore delivery service or come in to eat here again. I'm writing this to express my disappointment on such poor level of service. The food overall is okay most the time and I always tell people about the restaurant if they ask me of a place to eat Vietnamese food around the area but to experience such attitude in a restaurant when all I wanted was to have a simple nice lunch is horrid. I hope the management can take this in (if they are as they said: welcome any comment to improve their service) and improve their service skill. And to have over 100 reviews yet 20% of those are bad ones on their service, I really think they should improve their service; maybe they dont care because they still get customers come in but eventually, bad reviews go around faster than good ones, hope it wont come to that. All the best.

A little surprised to see a couple of reviews saying that the food is poor. I've eaten here - and ordered takeaways - a number of times over the past four years and have never had any complaints about taste/quality of our meals. The best dish, in my opinion, is the turmeric and coconut hot pot. Only negative is that the service can be very slow.

Indifferent slow service matched by oily poorly microwaved meal. Orange juice freshly squeezed but it was so slow I ended up getting from the counter myself. No wonder it's usually empty......

The food generally has been good. I normally get the pho. Their condiments are my favourite part. It's got a nice friendly atmosphere and is usually busy. The only slight negative is the service speed. You often have to wait a while.

I go to a lot of restaurants and this one by far had the worst service. They were not that busy and all the waiters just seem to be work shy. The food wasnt all that great either. I complained to the manager who basically didnt care and just told us not to pay the 12.5% service charge (which is what we already planned to do anyway!) AVOID.

누들샐러드부터 쌀국수, 롤종류도 맛있었음. 세번정도 방문했는데 그때마다 다른메뉴를 시켜서 맛을 봤는데 다 괜찮고 가격도 나쁘지 않아서 더 마음에 들었음. 정말 추천하고 싶은 베트남음식점

We're no experts with Vietnamese food but we do know what we like and if the flavours are pleasing. We've visited here on two occasions for a reasonable snack at Sunday lunchtime and each time came away very content. This time, the vegetarian spring rolls had a delicate flavour and each of our soups, hers veggy and mine chicken were substantial and filling with a range of herb and spices apparent. More an upmarket cafe than a restaurant,paper napkins etc. so not somewhere for a long lazy lunch but another useful address in W. Hampstead.

Decent UK Vietnamese with some of the classics. Service was pleasant as was the food. Not the best Vietnamese I have had in the UK but still enjoyable. Would go again but not go out of my way.

The place is good value for money, with awesome selection of pho (vietnamese soup) on offer. Really authentic vietnamese flavours, which be both a good or a bad thing depending on your tastes. Desert selection is tiny, as normal in asian restaurants, but I suggest you try the tapioca and cocomat milk desert (little complain on my side that they added nuts to it, which I've never seen as an ingredient in Vietnam ). Only complaint is that the menu includes only a small number of dishes.

First time at a Vietnamese restaurant, so probably not the best to judge... But I really enjoyed the meal! Stopped by for dinner, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Spring rolls were for starter were great, and I chose chicken Pho for my main which was also good. Would recommend a visit, in good proximity to the tube station.

Vegetarian spring rolls, rather heavily deep fried. Tasteful chicken wings, prawn crackers as starters. I forget what else we ordered but it was an interesting experience.Service could have been a bit better. Had to do a bit of arm waving a couple of times as the staff was not too attentive towards us. It got reflected in the tip.It was our first go at Vietnamese food. I do not know how authentic it is but as it is Asian, I expected that lots of more trouble would go in preparing it as mostly all Asian cuisines take lots of preparation, which fills the food with aroma and spices.Location of the restaurant is good, within walking distance of the underground, the overground and the Thames link stations. And on a Saturday night, it does get busy. We had to reserve the seats as we were a party of 6.The price was a bit higher than what we had expected. I think, it is a bit overpriced..

Location is very convenient since it's in the heart of West Hampstead and 1-min walk from all tube, rail and overground stations but the food is very good but not awesome enough for the money you're paying. Would recommend the spring rolls and any of soup noodles.

We went early last night, excited with our discovery that we did not need to head to East London to get our Vietfix...The place looked good, and the waiting staff looked even better, and the service was excellent in terms of efficiency. The real fault is what mattered. The food. The summer rolls held very little flavour, and hardly any herbs, just lettuce. Ok the spring rolls were reasonable, if very oily. Feeling a bit disappointed we looked forward to our mains ever hopeful.. Sadly both were similarly disappointing. We were looking for a new favourite, but we will not be returning :-(Let's hope we were the exception to the rule and usually the food is better.

Really tasty food, the black sesame ice cream is fantastic. Staff are really friendly, and service is good. It does get busy, especially at weekends.

Transiting between West Hampstead Thameslink and either the Tube or Overground? Looking for freshly prepared food? La Du Du is the place for you.We stopped on our way to Wembley to watch the rugby world cup.One noodle dish and two soups later (including an authentic Pho) and we were on our way.The restaurant is simple, but clean and modern. Our visit on a Sunday lunch time saw a variety of couple, families with young children and singles in the restaurant.The food arrived quickly, was fresh, very tasty and good value.

Ho cenato una sera in questo ristorante con mio figlio ventenne. Il personale è gentile, sollecito e disponibile. Il locale è pulito, ordinato, ben frequentato. L'atmosfera è piacevole e rilassante. Il cibo buono e si viene aiutati nella scelta. Il personale è cortesissimo, il servizio efficiente e rapido. Ho provato una porzione di dry noodles accompagnati da un te alla menta gradevolissimo. Il prezzo è adeguato. Il quartiere è tranquillo. Ci tornerei senz'altro.

I have eaten here maybe 6 times since the place opened, and each occasion was great. The menu is pleasingly short, the food tasty & freshly prepared, portions not to large or small, service attentive but not intrusive. Prices are reasonable too.

Went for Friday evening dinner. Cocktails were good value under happy hour and well presented. We had chicken wings (fatty and okay but wouldn't order again) and viet spring rolls (freshly fried super hot, well seasoned and crispy) for starters. I had a vegetarian noodle dish with lemongrass and tamarind. It came with too much rice noodles and I couldn't really taste distinct flavours. Overall however, a pretty good meal. My partner's coconut beef however was divine, the sauce was really delicious. Will go again on the basis of that dish alone!

I visited this place few times already. It offers wide menu selection. (I am usually having spring rolls with pork and prawns and stir-fried noodles with chicken for my main course). But you can always find something different for your own taste. Food comes very fast and it doesn't depend on how busy restaurant is. The service team is amazingly nice and professional. Last time I was served by two guys, a young, fit Vietnamese guy and latino guy with glasses. Both of them were completely amazing and professional. I was in and out in less than a hour but if you prefer longer stay there will be space for you to be.Food: 10/10Service: 10/10Timing: 10/10Overall: 10/10Looks like management don't miss even a small detail on how business needs to be run.

Very good vietnamese food in London, good service and reasonable price recommend beef curry and spring rollsFantastic atmosphere and easy to find location

After a hard day's work we needed a light and fun meal so thought we'd try a restaurant in this neighbourhood.The menu was impressive enough with a wide selection of dishes. For a starter the chargrilled chicken wings sounded like fun, finger food. When they arrived they were accompanied by nice crunch pickled nibbles. The wings however, were very disappointing. They tasted as though they had been re-heated and were a little dry. The main courses of chargrilled pork with spring rolls and noodles and special pork chop rice were distinctly average.The freshly squeezed orange juice and lime-o-nade made up for the meal.

Good staff, location and venue. food average though, nothing special really. Would go again but only if walking past

Took my wife here for dinner recently. There was a reasonable crowd although the atmosphere wasn't great. Service was slow and apart from one young lady it was quite rude. But that is not the real problem with this place. I can honestly say the food was absolutely dreadful. I've eaten Vietnamese food many times, in London and abroad and this was so bad neither of us could finish any of our courses. We were both ill afterwards, my wife more so than me as I had eaten very little of my main course. When the waitress saw my more or less untouched main course she asked if everything was ok. I replied that the food was dreadful and I couldn't eat it. They gave me a bill for the full amount and I refused to pay for my main course. This resulted in some serious attitude from a woman I presume was the manager. After a few minutes of trying to embarrass me in front of other diners, implying that I had no idea what Vietnamese food tasted like and I hadn't used enough "sauce" on my starter she reluctantly agreed to take the cost of my main off the bill. There are a lot of really good restaurants in NW6, Banana Tree just up the road being one example. One word sums up this place for me... AVOID!

Such good quality and tasty food, with staff who are all friendly and attentive. They know their menu and are quick to adapt to your tastes based on what you tell them.Probably the best vietnamese food I've ever had.Thank you for an all out lovely experience - will definitely be back!!

I'm in love mith West Hampstead and La Du Du is one of my favourite places. I actually go there to spend some time alone sometimes, having a nice meal and just watching people passing on the road. I chill, I have nice food, and a nice drink. The last two times I had the iced vietnamese coffee, for which I literally fell in love!!! Every coffee lover should try it!!! A month ago I had some lollipop prawns, very nice, while last week I tried the stir fried vegetable with seafood. Next time I'll probably go with some friends :)

We had summer rolls n mango salad as starter, refreshingly light n tasty; the beef n chicken pho, the soup is rich n not too salty; the pot tea is natural with lemongrass; the home made ice cream is heavenly, the lychee, vietnamese coffee are really special. The service is friendly n efficient, worth coming back anytime.

We come here all the time! The food is delicious, the service is fast, and the prices are good! The atmosphere is more cafe than restaurant and it feels very cosy in La Du Du. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the West Hampstead area; we couldn't recommend it more!

Ate here on our first night in U.K. and very disappointed. Having had 5 trips to Vietnam we really enjoy and search out Vietnamese restaurants but here we found the food very bland.The service was quick but without a smile and we could barely finish a course before plates were cleared and it was obvious that the aim of this restaurant is to get people in , feed them and get them out as quickly as possible, ready for the next customers.

La Dudu is my favourite Vietnamese in NW London - make sure you go - can't go wrong with combination chicken and some summer rolls.

Ate here a few times and i was quite impressed by the authentic flavours (coming from a vietnamese background). The atmosphere was relaxing and i had an enjoyable experience each visit.

I ordered a green papaya salad that came with pork belly and prawns. It was great but I'm not a fan of the smelly fermented tofu sauce they use on the dish. Also I got a spicy beef noodle soup. I found the beef inedible and the instant noodles were not nice, but the liquid soup itself was good. In the end I tested a shot of the vietnamese coffee beans and they were distinctively stale with a medicine woody taste! Staff were nice.

Extremely pleasant atmosphere topped by some delicious pho - the chicken noodle soup being highly recommended. The spring rolls are great too!

Called in here late on a Sunday afternoon and found it clean, comfortable & the service was attentive and friendly. The price was reasonable as was the food but that's as far as it goes.It's the first time I've eaten Vietnamese and on this showing I'd probably resort to my Thai default setting - but people tell me that Vietnamese food is so fragrant and 3 dimensional. So I will try again but I wont make a detour here. It's OK really, but that's where it finished. Shame really.

We popped in for lunch when swapping lines. This was a most enjoyable dining experience, we shared a starter of calamari & king prawn with a chilly and fish dip. This was served with pickled carrot & onion .... Very very tasty Then we had two noodle dishes one beef and one chicken, that were equally tasty washed down with a crisp white wine. Very nice and I would recommend.

I really enjoy the Vietnamese soups at Ladudu. Would definitely recommend this place! I go a few times a month. Not to expensive and great value for money.

We live in west hampstead and very often go to ladudu for quality viet food, good service and very reasonable price. Best restaurant in the area.

Wanted a change from the local good quality Chinese or Indian restaurants so thought we would give this one a try. Really glad that we did. The Vietnamese spring rolls were really tasty. We had two main courses plus egg fried rice but the main courses were so generous that we ended up saving the rice. Would really recommend the lemongrass stir fried chicken and the beef hot pot. They were each for two people and were very good value and quality.

Scoperto per caso perchè vicino alla fermata della tube, entriamo alla ricerca di un pò di buon cibo vietnamita. Locale accogliente, personale gentile e cibo fresco preparato al momento. Piatti dal sapore deciso e piccanti al punto giusto, servizio rapido. Preso due antipasti e due main course più due bicchieri di vino, acqua, un dolce e speso 30 pounds a testa quindi assolutamente onesto. Se passate da queste parti fateci un salto

This is a true gem in the heart of NW London (West Hampstead)!! Amazing flavours all round the menu - I would highly recommend the following: squid w/chilli&garlic, papaya salad, summer rolls and DON'T MISS the beef noodle soup with an amazing broth including ingredients such as star anise, cinammon, etc. Might look a bit pricey but trust me the quantity is very well thought out, you can even share. The ladies on the welcoming side are lovely and they know the menu by heart and have great knowledge of sauces etc.Winner!!!! for friends hanging out, they do do big tables, or with your loved one!!!!! make sure you call to see availability, they are always busy (and they should be) !!

We stumbled upon this place after searching high and low around Finchley Road for a decent place to eat. I was initially dubious, but the menu had a fair few veggie options, so I thought I would give it a go.Turned out to be the right choice. They had 10 minutes of happy hour left, so we quickly ordered some red wine, which was lovely. The waiter was friendly, and our food came really quickly, considering it was quite busy. The food was tasty, and the portion was pretty generous. Had the veggie Pho, a good choice it turned out.Will definitely return soon!

The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. However, the quality of food is absolutely terrible. The taste is not even close to Vietnamese cuisine. Will never come back...

I wanted to go back to this restaurant for a while because the first time I went I was very impressed, but sadly not this time. My friend and I had summer rolls and spring roll to share. The prawn and pork Summer Rolls didn’t rock my boat where the filling consisted of 90% iceberg lettuce! The Vietnamese Spring Rolls had a better flavour all around. The Special Pork chop rice that my friend had was very tasty while the marinated chicken with vermicelli rice noodle and other bits were 3 nano-skewers of chicken mainly skin and fat. I complained there and there and they apologised saying that was the wrong dish and I got another one which looked more like a chicken escalope which I don’t think it was what I ordered anyway the flavour was good and I got on with it. Overall we were quite disappointed especially for value for money. I have been to Pho in Soho which is a chain and to be honest the food quality was better and quite a bit cheaper if I had to compare the two. Next time that I feel like having Vietnamese food it is very likely I will go back to Pho or look for some other independent ones.

Very nice place, I love meat and they do it great there, but they also cater so perfectly for vegan/vegetarian people too all my friends are so when I chose it it was perfect we went a couple of weeks ago (November) I went there once before with the boy for my Graduation celebration lunch in (July) and we realised we have a restaurant for life just round the corner from where we live! Good for both couples and friends but I give the edge to couples as the lighting is a little romantic. Also the cocktails just try one I dare you! My fav's are the Collins bunch :-D

buon cibo e ristorantino molto curatopersonale accogliente e gentilequartire tranquillo e alla portata di tutti

Soy fanático de la comida vietnamita y este restaurant no defrauda... un Pho muy rico y siempre tiene algunas sugerencias muy interesantes. El ambiente es acogedor y la atención esmerada.

This was a chance discovery on a not so busy Thursday evening. We tried the chilli and garlic squid, chicken wings and grilled chicken noodles. All were tasty, full of Vietnamese flavours. Will be back when in the area again.

So good! Well priced! Friendly staff, fast efficient, SUCH good fresh food and good menu and genuine Viet beers. They do their own hot sauces too with the lime, fish sauce and sugar sauce for dipping crunchy spring rolls in being a masterpiece of simplicity and the spicy chilli paste being a powerful brew too. Whatta joint. Go there and party it up asap!

Having walked past this inviting-looking cafe/restaurant many times en route between West Hampstead Tube and rail stations, I finally got round to checking it out. We were delighted by the warm welcome and tasty food and would definitely go back. Only slight quibble is that it can get draughty near the door.

I love the noodle soup at La Du Du! It is not just simple soup it is heavenly beef soup that must been slow cooked well! As a native Chinese we believe soup has magic medical impact for your health, especially slow cooked that can extract the best part of food.Apart from that, excellent service as well.x

Delicious soup! Wonderful flavour - cheap!! Lovely service - we felt looked after without being imposed upon - a great experience!

It was the first time we had vietnamese food and got at the restaurant by the time the kitchen was closing. The attendent helped us, gave us tips and was really nice. The food was great! It was a nice surprise and we'll come back for sure! Oh, try Vietnamese spring rolls as a starter or in your main dish. Lovely!

... for sure we will reserve a table.Very noisy (but I guess it is normal in UK for a restaurant), but the food and the waiters were perfectly fine and I haven't experienced the bad stuff others have experienced in here... I liked the place and personally I am sure I'll go back!

Great atmosphere, enjoy a coffe or mix of fresh fruit juices, even an avocado shake for a change!The waiter was also very nice!

The food is OK and what you would expect from a mid range Vietnamese place. However, the staff are so extremely rude you wouldn't believe it. Expect them to get your order wrong and blame you for their mistakes! Best avoided.

This place has really lovely original food made with good quality ingredients. The service is good and the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Only bug bear is that it's not mega intimate and romantic but for what it lacks in "romantic pretension" it makes up for in practicalities. Good value for money and the guys work hard. The stairs to the toilets and the toilets themselves are a little neglected-half flushed toilet is not a good look and the corners of the loo when looking at door (i.e during the act) are not clean and should be. Toilets and kitchens often go together. Please clean it as a mark of respect to customers. Would have been a higher rating if this had been up to scratch.

We have eaten in the restaurant before and thought the food ok but the service poor. We put it down to a busy night or two. Twice now with deliveries our experience has been even worse. The latest was a waiter on the phone telling us he was too busy to hunt down our missing delivery order. I guess they want us to take our custom elsewhere. In a city as big as London, that won't be too hard.

The cocktails are terrible but the food is ok. The sauces with the dishes were yummy but I would not rush back when there are so many other restaurants in London that do better. The continual refill on a pot of tea is excellent!

Been here three times now and it is a very nice little restaurant for a quick and tasty Vietnamese/Asian dinner. Lots of food options, mostly very tasty, and staff are friendly and welcoming. Prices pretty reasonable too.

Price food is average. there is not so much flavours...as a vietnamez food should have. Not spice and they are using a lot of coriander. The food was ready before the cocktails.

Feeling hungry while walking through West Hampstead, my wife and I popped into Ladudu as we're big fans of Vietnamese food and were encouraged to see the place full on a Sunday evening. How disappointed we were. Vietnamese food should be fragrant, with depth of flavour. Ladudu's food was decidedly average, and hugely overpriced for what it is. A dish of salmon chunks cooked in a fish sauce reduction was £11.50 but came with no vegetables and no rice, for which we had to pay extra as a side dish - just salmon in a fairly bland, watery sauce. One of the week's specials, a coconut chicken dish for £9, again had so little flavour, despite being advertised as a dish containing fresh herbs and spices. We complained to the manager, who said that our complaint was our opinion ("most people say our food is excellent") and he was unwilling to take our complaint on board. In fact he made us feel quite uncomfortable for having complained and we were eager to leave despite his offer of a free ice cream. Overall, a pretty poor experience and didn't feel like value for money. We've eaten far better Vietnamese food at this (or lower) price point in London (e.g. the Pho chain and the little hole in the wall place on Upper St in Islington).

We really appreciate having this decent vietnamese restaurant as a local. The food is always delicious and freshly prepared. Service is prompt and polite. We haven't yet had any of the tempting desserts as we over order starters and mains. We are particularly fond of the vietnamese spring rolls and pho soup.

La Du Du is a cafe/restaurant and with a relaxed atmosphere and good food. Good place to go with a crowd and share the soup noodles. Betal beef rools/soft shelled crab/squid starters very good. Main courses of sauteed beef and caramalised salmon hotpot were very tasty. Plenty for vegetarians as most dishes give you a choice of beef/pork/chicken/tofu.The food is authentic and they serve traditional Vietnamese coffee and exotic cocktails. Try the cocktail with espresso coffee.The service was very friendly and efficient. We went Friday evening and needed to book. Ask for seating away from the door as it can be a bit draughty.

In realtà si tratta di un ristorante-etno-bar vietnamita, nel senso che quando la cucina chiude - tra le 21 e le 22 dipende dai giorni, si può comunque continuare a bere dato che il servizio bar continua fino alle 23. Noi abbiamo cenato e mangiato benissimo ad un prezzo decisamente conveniente, con personale molto attento e gentile. Da consigliare.

We visitied this restaurant last year and were pleased with their food. However, when we tried them again last week, the standard was nothing like what it used to be. The chiii garlic squid was tough like rubber and the meat in our 'Pho' contained pieces that resembled offal rather than beef. Other dishes such as the 'Combo' was poor value for money. Definitely will not be returning.

With a group of friends we stumbled accross this place by chance looking for a quick lunch. Fabulous range of food with an extensive vegetarian choice. Friendly and helpful service, great price and extremely tasty food in good sized portions.

After many year's of not trying Vietnamese, was very pleasantly surprised to come across La Du Du by West Hampstead Overground Stn. We tried the lunchtime special, a big bowl of their vegetarian noodles, with tofu...YUMMY!! We were not rushed at all, and felt very relaxed. The food does not come out quick, but that is good, as it shows the food is being freshly prepared..and it tasted like it also! Lots of lovely fresh, just-cooked-right, ingredients I have never taken to cooked celery...until a visit here...it made a lovely addition to the meal. This dish contains quail eggs, so if vegan, ask accordingly.It had a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and by the height of lunchtime, the place was really filling up. The other dishes that were coming out of the kitchen for the other diners looked equally as fresh and impressive.So, if you are in West Hampstead and hungry for something tasty, without being rushed, then I would definitely recommend this place. One of the best meals I have had in a very long time!

La Du Du is a very nice authentic and contemporary Vietnamese Restaurant located 2 minutes walk from West Hampstead Tube station.We tried their Green Papaya salad, spring rolls ,spicy beef noodle soup,tumeric and lemon grass noodles and Caramelised salmon hotpot. The food was delicious and staff very efficient.They accept reservations: 020 7372 3217 Restaurant has semi-formal atmosphere

Its always a bit of gamble to organise a get together of friends in a restaurant that you dont know and on a Saturday night. But la Du Du proved to be a good choice. The bistro-like design comprises a flexible and wide range of seating options making the place suitable for groups of two to ten. Postioned opposite West Hampstead overground station and just up the road from West Hampstead tube, the restaurant was convenient and quickly found by all my group.The menu is sufficient to provide variety and includes vegetarian options. The spicey beef stew was a hit amongst my group but everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The home made ice cream provoked a few ooos!The location, the layout , the food and the helpful attidue of the staff all made it a very enjoyable evening for me and my friends. The cost per person worked out at £33 for two/ three courses (not everyone had 3), a few vietnamese beers each and coffee (according to a poster on the wall Vietnam is the world's biggest exporter of coffee!

Vicino alla nostra Guest House, abbiamo trovato per caso questo ristorante molto carino, piccolo ma curato. Abbiamo assaggiato delle alette di pollo di antipasto e dei dry noodles con verdure e pollo, molto buoni ma attenzione che il tutto è decisamente speziato.

First visit but plan to come again.Comfortable enough for a bar/cafe style place with a pleasant ambience. Service was welcoming and efficient.Between us tried prawn pancakes, beef salad, steamed sea bass and a chicken pho dish. All were average plus though the steamed sea bass was very good/excellent (off the bone, nice texture, good sauce) and the chicken pho was very good, though it could have been served hotter (temperature)All in all then, a successful visit

Nos quedamos en West Hampstead y este era una buena opcion para comer... muy correcto y buena atención.

Dined here 15/11/13. Main meal had been microwaved, staff were slow and didn't seem to care, we hadn't booked and were restricted to two options of places to sit although the restaurant was half empty and didn't fill up while we were there. Cocktails were also poor.
