Moc Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

Lovely little restaurant - good lunch set menu

the best vegan pho i have ever had, lovely service

The food was great, portions were big enough to fill a proper big lad. We visited when there was empty som to atmosphere was very cozy. Overall great experience and i definitely recommend 😁

Food is nice, both restaurant and takeaway but the owner lady is a little bit difficult/could work on service. I normally get their takeaway pho but opted for a banh mi for the first time. For £9.2, it’s a pretty punchy lunchtime choice. When it came I asked for chilli and the newer server said she’d have to get from the main kitchen. I know they have chilli in pots with lime right there at the takeaway place. I get a little pot every time I get a pho, but for some really weird reason the owner lady wouldn’t let the newer server give me that and there was an awkward exchange where I told the newer server, don’t worry about it. Really weird. We’re talking 10p worth of chilli if that. Just so strange and a little off putting. Who doesn’t add chilli to their banh mi… the weirdness of the interaction has actually put me off going back. I know it’s a tiny thing, but there I was staring at 10 small pots of chilli with a slice of lime in each and I said, can’t I just buy one of those! But no. No sriracha, no chilli, nothing. Went into Itsu, bought some edamame, asked can I have a pot to get some sriracha, hey presto.

MOC Kitchen is a fantastic find for authentic Vietnamese food in London. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and full of the vibrant tastes that make Vietnamese cuisine so special. I especially loved the pho, with its rich, aromatic broth and tender meat, and the spring rolls, which were crispy and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are welcoming, making it a great place for a relaxed meal. Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of pho or some tasty banh mi, MOC Kitchen delivers a delicious, authentic experience. Highly recommend for Vietnamese food lovers!

Ate here with a friend, I got the beef coconut curry. I personally enjoyed it, the base was good, had a sweetness to it! I like how it feels very home-y. The food came surprisingly quick and service was nice - not too busy too

Authentic Vietnam pho and the flavours we missed!

We really enjoyed the salt and pepper tofu and .y pho bowl vegan. The summer roll excellent. We are vegan good service

Lovely meal here this evening. Very well priced food, big portions, quaint cosy place, relaxed and friendly service. Was walking by this place and popped in - glad we did and will be back!

Cosy environment. Great starter!

Food wasn't really that good for being at such a premium, a nice location and friendly staff. You could definitely find better Vietnamese food elsewhere.

The bamboo duck bun is very good , i will come back . High recommend for anyone come here 😍😍 Staff very friendly and helpful

Great little place. Friendly staff. And fabulous food... We're making this a monthly visit now!

There was a lunch set so it was good to choose from, and it was nice to be able to eat warm soup in the slightly chilly British weather.

Mock Kitchen serves fresh and delicious Vietnamese food. Finger licking good and just what I needed before the theatre. Thank you so much I will be back for sure!

The meal is delicious😋The meat is huge The service staff is very friendly and has a great attitude 👍

Beef rice noodles are very chunky The portion of duck meat is also very sufficient. Although we don't understand the language with the counter staff, But still very enthusiastic in explaining the menu. push push Delicious😋 Delicious😋

Great place for pre theatre because the food comes super fast and it is SUPER fresh Great little place

Very quiet place, with friendly people and good Asian food.

Food is very bad, won't go there again

Fantastic place, great spot for a bite before a show!

Food is delicious and staffs are very friendly !!

We had the most lovely light dinner here tonight. Warm and friendly atmosphere, fabulous service with a smile and the FOOD!! Wow, so good. Some of the best rice paper rolls we have ever had. So much flavour. Definitely will return to this little gem of a restaurant!

The food was excellent and the service was very attentive and quick. There are great vegetarian and vegan options - I recommend the aubergine clay pot with tofu; the flavour was so rich and delicious. My friends enjoyed their meaty options too. The spring and summer rolls were lovely. 2 courses left us comfortably full.

Had a table for four on Thursday evening before heading to the theatre. We all enjoyed our food, all having something different. Plenty of choice on the menu. Drinks served nicely and staff were very pleasant. It was a quaint little restaurant where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the Charing Cross area. We have several theatre trips booked for this year so will definitely be going back and hope it all stays the same.

It was so good! Everyone at the restaurant were really kind. They even tried to to teach me how to eat it with chop sticks lol I’ll keep practicing

Food not Authentic, special Pho broth taste of msg..crispy spring roll was shop bought and it cost £8. Staff unfriendly trying to charge me for a glass of hot water.. I will not recommend it.

Me and my boyfriend had a lovely evening at Moc Kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious and arrived quickly. Well recommended if you’re looking for good Vietnamese cuisine

Good value tasty food great staff

In a kosy spot under a giant building underpass. The pho was very good. Interesting location.

Beautiful venue, so intimate and the food was lovely. Service was fantastic. Staff are so friendly, patient and great people. Really enjoyable meal pre theatre show. The menu has so much on offer. They really cater to all requests as best as they can. I enjoyed a wonderful start to my evening here and really can't wait for the opportunity to go back. Thank you for your service and your food. 5* and I don't usually give that lightly!

Plates are quite large, the food is delicious

Food was really nice, portions were very reasonable, and a great place for a bite to eat before a show or gig!

I emptied every single bit of pho dish. It is tasty and expected. However, it lacks little bit of authenticity and size. Service was awesome! Friendly and welcoming!

Food was delicious, good atmosphere and lovely staff

Its amazing food and atmosphere

It is a small restaurent with not so good ventilation from the kitchen cooking. However, the pho I had was nice and good portion. I will be back to try other dishes next time! We went back again and the food tasted better than I remembered. And the menu now shows the gluten-free options.

Nice selection of food tastes, cozy atmosphere and very rapid services. In less than fifteen minutes we had ordered and had been served all the dishes! And the portions were very large, appetising!

I visited on a weekday at 4pm with a friend just before the dinner rush, so it was just us and the servers and chefs. The decor is beautiful. We ordered pho, and got it within 5 minutes. I got the beef brisket pho for £15 and it was divine!! Im a Vietnamese person and biased to my mum's pho, but the broth was gorgeous. The beef could've been fattier but that's a personal preference. I didn't need to add anything to it but we were given lemon, coriander, chilli and sriracha if we needed it.

It's a small place under the arches of Charring Cross station. The ambience is not so great with congested seating and not much gap between tables and less space for service. It serves some of the tastiest dishes. Heavenly black rice pudding, tasty fried rice, awesome tasting tofu and aubergine curry. The papaya salad was fresh and crispy, a delight. Quantity was small fit for two and a bit expensive. On the whole, an ideal. Place to go for treating self or with friends.

Very bland and oily fried noodles which are over-priced. Also.. £3.90 for a can of Coca Cola?!?!

Really tasty pho my whole family loves even my one year old the place is really tiny though. Gluten free options available

Amazing Pho will definitely come again

Beat phô in town. Also very delicious spring rolls. Every time I am in London, I visit this place. Fresh and delicious. Great vale and price. Amazing service and atmosphere.

Really delicious food! We had the set menu and it was great value for money. Christoph served us and was very friendly and helpful.

Not gonna forget your ignorance and barbarism towards the Saudi family . Asking for a tip but not serving the customers? Are u beggars

I love this place for the daily menu. The pho soup is amazing!

Everything is perfect，will go next time very soon！

Nice place. I enjoyed the black rice pudding. Location is a little cramped

Resto assez sympa. Bonne cuisine. Les pho sont bien copieux.

Really lovely hidden gem literally round the corner from Charing Cross Station. Very glad we stumbled across this beautiful restaurant, food was delicious and the service was swift & friendly!

It’s a really tiny place, so you have to squeeze in. I ordered the special pho but nothing special taste like instant noodle I get from Asian supermarket with tiny piece of meats! For nearly £20 paid I am expecting a lot more than an effectively £2 cost meal. There are lots of better options than this place in London unfortunately, I won’t come again. Lastly the waiter will try to upsell, wow, I’m surprised.

Lovely little spot with plenty of veggie options on the menu and welcoming staff.

Lovely hidden gem! The food was great and it was a really intimate space which is great if you want a quiet get together. I recommend the beef pho it was great!

Very good food. Prawn starter and Cha ca fish, good value, good service, excellent value.

Loved the sweet and sour goat and spring rolls but the summer rolls were a major disappointment..dry and leathery. I think they had been left out too long

Came here as we were seeing a show next door at the Charing Cross theatre. When we arrived it was completely empty but this changed very quickly and it turned it to a bustling little space. I’m sure it’s more than the convenience of being close to the theatre that brings people here as it’s among the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. There were quite a few veggie options on the menu which was great to see. The salt and pepper aubergine was fresh, fried, crispy and all kinds of delicious, with a great chilli sauce to pair with it. The Pho was easily among the best I’ve ever had, the broth could have had more depth but that’s a challenge you expect when you turn a dish vegetarian. The noodles within were perfectly cooked and had a good bite and the tofu was the most generously portioned I’ve seen. Usually if you order a pho somewhere you get a few slices of meat/tofu/etc but here there was a really good amount. The service here was a little slow but it could also be because as soon as any waiting staff appeared the table next to me barked orders at them, which made getting the bill a little challenging. Although, given the circumstances, the staff were a lot more accommodating than I would have managed.

Four of use dined there last night. The first thing to note is that it's very small and space is at a premium so if you're against a wall trying to squeeze, between tables will be a challenge for anyone of average build. There is also just a single unisex toilet for customers. The food We ordered a variety of dishes, starters and mains and whilst I was unimpressed with the "forbidden duck", overcooked and dry, the papaya salad was good, spring rolls were small but plentiful , (had to ask twice for some dipping sauce) the "luc luc" beef was okay but the fried pak-choi was cold. Where improvements do need to be made is with the waiting staff, who seem more focused on their phones, than paying closer attention to their customers, and at times it was a challenge to get their attention. Drink selections are very limited, probably constrained by space so don't go expecting anything beyond a basic selection of beer/vodka/gin/coke etc. Overall cost was just short of £200 which included a 12% service charge, which grated somewhat given the poor service. Overall the food is a bit hit and miss but the poor waiting service and the service charge means I'll be looking for alternative Vietnamese options around the West End to Moc Kitchen

booked this restaurant on the day. It was a great experience. Try the beef coconut curry and the pork spring rolls and grilled fish

Really cute place and deceptively accommodating. We ordered the prawn Bao Pho. Very generous and nice king prawns. Slightly lacking flavour/seasoning, but it was freshly prepared and perfect for winter. Waiting staff courteous and food came out very quickly despite being fully booked.

Nice and authentic vietnamnese food that I chanced upon while looking for a dinner place.

We popped in without reservations, so we're glad they could take us as they and everyone around was extremely busy. The spring rolls and brisket pho were both top notch. Tight squeeze in this small location but there was nothing small about the flavours.

A great find! Truly a gem for authentic Vietnamese food

The best pho I’ve had in the UK! I also had their tutu rolls and they were delicious. Super friendly people with great customer service, delivered our food fast, and accommodated our pram.

Located under the Train Station this spot is one the best places in London to grab a bowl of Pho. Their fried Spring rolls are delicious the Vietnamese coffee has the perfect amount of sweetened condensed milk. And the Pho broth is the most flavorful I've had yet. On top of it the service is very friendly. This will definitely be one of our Go-to places when we are in the area.

I have never eaten such a lovely Tofu Pad Thai with generous amount of Tofu .

The BEST Pho soup in town!!! and everything else I've tried, including their special cocktails. All food is delicious, and freshly made. I keep telling about this café to all my friends, with the best recommendations and pop in there myself every time when I have a chance. There is a lovely owner and a great staff. I give 4 stars for the service and atmosphere only for a reason, it could be quite packed in the evening which means a bit of a waiting time, but it's nothing, really! Highly recommended to everyone and once again - many thanks to the manager and to his fab team. Very well done guys

I recently had the pleasure of dining there and trying their beef vermicelli noodle dish. Moc Kitchen is a small, Vietnamese restaurant located under the arches of Charing Cross train station. It has a cozy and casual atmosphere, with friendly and attentive staff. The menu features a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes, all made with fresh and authentic ingredients. I ordered the beef vermicelli noodle dish, which is a classic Vietnamese dish made with rice noodles, grilled beef, vegetables, and a flavourful dipping sauce. The beef was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the noodles were perfectly al dente. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, and the dipping sauce was tangy and flavourful. Overall, I was very impressed with my meal at Moc Kitchen. The food was delicious, the service was good, and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Restaurante con pocas mesas y muy acogedor . La comida es muy buena , calidad precio correcto y una carta completa Un sitio para repetir

青木瓜絲沙拉🥗你一定要嘗試看看，美味極了。我這次在倫敦停留兩天，兩天都來這裡用餐。

The owner and the assistant was very friendly and welcoming. The food, specially the falafel tastes very good.

Having had the pleasure to travel through Vietnam on a motorbike ( South to North ) I am a little bit familiar with the food and culture. I am very happy that i found "Moc Kitchen" ! Food is great, staff are really friendly and happy to talk about their fantastic country. 100% going back. I definitely recommend you try this little gem of a place. Rob cảm ơn vì một bữa trưa vui vẻ

Great value. Tasty authentic cuisine. Good for pretheatre supper.

Nice Vietnamese food pho, but ask for water has been ignored. Feels bad about that.

Excellent tasting food, but quite expensive and fairly small portions for the cost.

Lovely hidden gem in embankment. I have pho,spring rolls, it is nice.

Great food, good service, tucked away location. Recommend as a pre theatre meal. Nice and light, with plenty of options. Nice wine too.

One of my favorite place, nothing fancy but true original Vietnamise food

Food was just okay, nothing to write home about. Had the lunch set with a friend and he received his spring roll starter - we did not expect it to mean a solitary fried spring roll (the short type not more than a finger long) cut slanted in half 😹 As someone who comes from a spring roll culture, I would have been enraged…

A trendy and modern tapas bar with a lively atmosphere. The small plates were bursting with flavors, and the sangria was a refreshing complement. The energetic decor and communal seating made it a great spot for sharing bites with friends.

The food was ok, though lacked the flavor of some other Vietnamese places we frequent and didn't have the quantity of sauces for the portions. The quality was good and only let down by the flavors.

Lovely little venue with a quality menu.

Food is great and they keep playing Taylor Swift so it’s a five stars

Leider nicht so mein Fall gewesen aber preislich sehr in ordnung

The Pho was so so and quite oily which is not what we prefer coming from LA which has fantastic Vietnamese food. There was some grizzled chicken and chicken skins in the soup. The veggie egg rolls were no better than something you could get in a grocery store.

The food is delicious, fresh and tasty. Service is impeccable. I suggest booking ahead as it's not a big place but very popular due to the quality.

Soup was slightly bland. Can be tastier. The fried spring roll was pathetically small. Didnt expect that.

Really good meal in unpretentious surroundings.

We’d seen the excellent reviews so gave Moc Kitchen a go after a matinee theatre visit. It’s a small restaurant under Charing Cross station serving freshly cooked healthy Vietnamese food. We had the pre theatre menus and everything we had was delicious. Excellent fast service and a reasonable price to boot. We’ll be back!

Very small and intimate but the service was very good. Had soft shelled crab to start and then the special pho and also brisket pho. Excellent!! Soft drinks a little pricey but overall price relative. Quality and quality of food excellent and reservation is recommended as there aren't many covers. Will return

I was pleasantly surprised by this place - I was expecting a fairly average quick pre theatre dinner (as with most of the places in the area) but the food was delcious - fresh and tasty with fast and good service, and good value for the quality and portion size. The Cha Ca Fish is particularly spectacular! The only downside is it's really small and quite cramped, so probably not the best place if you prefer a bit more personal space - but otherwise, great!

Beautifully cooked food in a cosy little restaurant tucked away …hidden gem

My wife and I had an early dinner at the restaurant. The location isn’t glamorous but it certainly has an authentic feel. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was tasty, fresh and vibrant and reminiscent of meals we had enjoyed in Vietnam. A really great find and we’ll certainly be back.

We randomly came across this restaurant and what a find. The food was fresh and very flavoursome. We intended to go back the next day but sadly it was closed on a Sunday! Can’t wait to return when we are next back in London. The staff were very accommodating towards my partners food allergies.

We booked this restaurant for pre-theatre as it was ver close to the Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse and seemed reasonably priced. So happy we did! It’s a very small place and at the start at 17:30 was almost empty, but got filled up...

Loved the set up. We were by ourself at first early Tuesday evening. Soon got busy. Delicious starter aubergine salt and pepper. Loved the filled pancake and vermicelli with chicken. Pacake rolls starter a bit of a small potion and the cha cha fish not...

Fantastic authentic food, lots of choice, perfect for pre theatre food. Great service, hidden gem, a must visit !!

Lovely food, great atmosphere. Perfect Pre theatre. Food was delicious and authentic, I would return over and over, hidden gem

An impromptu, very enjoyable meal after a matinee show at the theatre. The restaurant is under the Arches off Villiers Street. It is only small, and at times I would imagine you'd be well advised to book a table. A special 2 course menu is...
