I take no joy leaving a 1 star review for any restaurant. But this was really not good. We ordered vegan and got 2 massive bowls with big chunks of undissolved stock cubes that had no resemblance to a pho whatsoever. Really disappointed. If you can't do vegan don't do it and don't offer it.

The Pho tastes just like in Hanoï! This sweet family business has warmed our hearts. The food is far above the standard UK-restaurant. I’ll definitely come back.

I have been coming here for quite a few years now and feel it's time to write a review. My friends and I who live in and near london and meet here around twice a year. It's not a fancy restaurant and we like it that way. The food never disappoints and if anything, I think it has improved. The flavours feel very authentic. We always go for summer rolls, mushroom pancakes, a variation of the noodle soups and the curry. Looking around last night I'd love to try other dishes (the stuffed aubergine looked delicious) but I can't resist the spicy pho! It's just too good. Lovely service as well. They have also started accepting cards.

A delightful culinary escapade, from the quirky decor that sets a lively ambiance to the mouthwatering dishes that transport you straight to Vietnam, this place has it all! Their pho is a flavour explosion and their crispy spring rolls are so addictive, you'll want to order more. The service is quick and attentive, albeit a bit too friendly at times.

Delicious authentic beef pho exactly what we needed on a cold December afternoon. I love the raw bean sprouts and herb addition to the hot soup, giving out divine aromatics as you slurp your noodles. Not usually busy at lunchtime so you will get a table without issues.

When you dine out, it’s not just about the food but the experience as well. While we enjoyed the food (though perhaps a bit on the salty side) our experience at Mien Tay was quite poor. While the tables around us got their food within ten minutes, we were left waiting for more than 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. We ordered a couple of beers, a starter, and a main. However, from the moment the order was taken to its late arrival we were not once visited by our server – never to say that the food was going to take a bit of time nor that it was almost done. Just silence. The beers did arrive 10 minutes after we placed our order, but given they were just bottles even that seemed late. The water we asked for never arrived, which proved to be problematic given the over salty fish. We had specifically ordered a starter to allow the lengthier cooking time we assumed for the sea bream. This, apparently, was lost on the staff. We were actually just about to walk out in disgust when the food arrived. When I expressed our displeasure to our server, he simply said “I just work here, talk to the bar downstairs.” Hardly an acceptance of fault nor any attempt to make up for the extremely lengthy delay. We raised the point again at the till as we were leaving, but we were simply brushed aside: “the fish takes a long time to cook.” There are so many Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Think carefully about choosing this one if you care for a timely meal and for properly being waited on.

Best pho I’ve had so far in London. Comes with proper lime, mint and all the right sauces. Still yet to live up to the pho I had in Manchester but it’s decently authentic and worth it.

Reasonable priced menu for a beautifully presented plate of great tasting and fresh food. My lady finished of hers with a smile while I had enough for lunch. Also met performers and staff from BAC who enjoyed as did we.

Mien Tay is a casual dining Vietnamese restaurant with a vast menu — and several veggie options (primarily consisting of tofu). A group of around 6 pax, we ordered a salad, 3 appetisers, and 3 mains with some noodle/rice dishes to share. The hot dishes were served piping hot, and most of them were quite flavourful. The papaya salad, in particular, was quite refreshing. On the other hand, I would strongly suggest skipping the veggie summer rolls — they were bland, and could not be saved by the dipping sauce either. Service was friendly and quick, and we particularly appreciated the complimentary fruit towards the end of the meal. While it was not a memorable dinner per se, Mien Tay is worth a try if you're in the area and in the mood for a melange of mixtures as well as textures.

I visited Mein Tay with my friends and witnessed the most appalling behaviour I have ever experienced in a restaurant. A gentlemen came in and sat at a table, there were only eight of us in the whole restaurant. The waiter Mac, was in the kitchen when the gentleman came in, he marched over to the gentleman and berated him for sitting at the table. I have never witnessed such disgusting behaviour. I advised the gentleman to leave as Mac was continuing to be incredibly rude to him when he bought over the menu. Mac was also abusive to a delivery chap at the same visit, what appalling behaviour in front of customers.

Its Vietnamise places, and it looks just like that - asian restaurants, and you could swear it's family-run: small, cosy, and nit pretentious, and the waiter speaks English enough to communicate. What they lack spoken English, they compensate in their friendly, helpfull approach. I went there for a quick dinner before going further for the night. The food is delicious, felt freshly prepared, came super-quick (note that the place was not too full as we went there very early evening) good portions, and if you don't want to - no need to but a starter. No dessert option, though. Great menu with plenty to choose from. Also: CASH ONLY, and if you forget to bring it, there are cash machines nearby.

On the menu on Uber eats it has a “new vegan section” I ordered three things off of it and when they arrived two of them contained meat (the bun hue and vegan pork). I called up and did eventually get a refund but no one apologised that I had already eaten some of the “vegan pork”. At first they denied that the menu says vegan, even though it was literally written on my receipt? As I say the women on the phone really didn’t understand the gravity of what she had done to me as I had chosen not to eat meat for the past 8/9 years and didn’t seem to feel responsible for it at all.

I want to say thanks very much indeed for the dishes prepared delivery as it was refused by several deliver persons which is understandable under such freezing cold weather. It took almost one hour and half to arrive, so I thought it all must be arrived cold under such weather. But it’s all still very warm! It obviously shows that they had to prepare all the dishes again when there was a deliver person eventually agreed to deliver. All delicious!! Thanks very much again!!

Disappointing. Food came out quickly but it was quite bland and some of it badly cooked. Salad rolls were nice, spicy ribs were awful - very tough and no meat, soft shell crab good. Beef curry was bland with gristly meat, the meat in the stir fry noodles had been boiled, not fried. Prices have gone up significantly too which is understandable at the moment but food has gone downhill. Can only pay with cash or bank transfer.

Found this little gem, a replica of the one in Hoxton which is one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants in London and this one doesn't disappoint. We got the Pho Dat Biet (beef special thick rice noodles in broth) Pho Ga (chicken thick rice noodles in broth) and they were lovely, fragrant and plentiful. The service was perfect, very pleasant and friendly and we waited no time for our food. Only down point are the herbs - they don't give you Thai basil which is a shame but otherwise a great place.

I went to this restaurant on the 24th of March. Unfortunately the service we received from one waitress in particular was appalling.

I was stunned at how rude this woman was towards my family and I and will not be coming back.

Stunning pho, richer style with good fat levels, lightly pickled onions and herbs around. Nice iron tasting rare beef. Noodle are thin and slippery, perfect level of chew blended desire to instantly swallow. Spring rolls here are delectable too with nice fried shredded pastry giving a beautiful crunch. Everything I've ate here has been top class although have to say I had an eel galangal episode where I was told they did have it then didn't have it then did have it and it ended out coming out with no spice after everyone had finished eating. I was gutted but doesn't take away from this place being a perfect venue I often revisit.
