We found Nem Nem when looking for Vietnamese food with good vegetarian options. Nem nem did not disappoint. The menu is split into meat and vegan options, making it super easy to choose from the extensive vegan selection. The food was excellent (vegan pepper duck and vegan Hanoi fish particular favourites) and the service was prompt. All in all a great find.

Good food, but a bit pricey for the portion size. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered the sweet potato cake and summer rolls to start, followed by the caramelised pork clay pot (my favourite) and mango fish for mains, along with one rice to share and two drinks. The food was okay, though I’ve had better Vietnamese at this price point. Portions were on the smaller side, so it didn’t feel like great value for money. That said, the staff were very friendly, and service was impressively quick—almost too fast! Overall, a decent experience but not necessarily a go-to for Vietnamese cuisine

The BEST vegan food you’ve ever had. I’ve been coming here for years due to the massive vegan selection, the vegan mango fish is out of this world. The vegan scallops are to die for. Such a great choice of foods. And such good prices. Starters, mains, rice and cocktails came to £29 each! Love love love ❤️

Love, love their food. However, it’s a cash only restaurant and the lady tells this to you before seating you. We were confident that we had enough cash. Unfortunately, our bills were already outdated, no longer in circulation. lol. Fortunately, there’s an ATM nearby or we would have to wash dishes. 😃 will defo come back as Angel is near where I usually crash during my visits to London.

La comida era excelente - realmente sabroso, grandes texturas y bien - cocinado - delicioso. Lamentablemente, el servicio había terminado - celoso - los platos estaban siendo retirados como el último bocado estaba entrando y el personal de espera se inclinaba sobre aquellos de nosotros todavía comiendo para llegar a los platos de los que estaban acabando! En general, la experiencia fue precipitada y esto realmente restó el disfrute, que es una pena, ya que la comida era genial. Un último bicho fue que solo aceptan efectivo por lo que fue necesario un sprint a un cajero cercano para poder pagar.

Absolutely wonderful. Food was delicious 😋. Spring rolls are homemade and I could have just eaten 10 of those and left happy. Every dish we ate was superb 👌 Not greasy, no msg and just fresh and fragrant. The service was so warm and friendly. Really lovely lady in the red top today (Sunday 9th Feb). Forget about Pho up the road, come here! We randomly decided to order cocktails and the espresso martini is up there with ones you get at top hotels and bars in London. We will be back!

Great lunch and pho (light coloured soup with ginger and meat flavour). £9.50 + 10% SC is good value. The place was quiet today it could be because they accept cash only. No issues for me it was clearly stated at the shop and it was mentioned to me before ordering.

My friend had the vegan tofu Bun sa salad which she loved. The ambience is fantastic as the decor is super inviting.

Very delicious Vietnamese restaurant! Asian stomachs are greatly satisfied😭💛🫶 Must order Nem Nem platter, raw spring rolls, fried spring rolls, and fried seafood are all super delicious. The lettuce and pickles are very fresh, and the sauce is refreshing. The fried food is amazing. I think the key is that he adds a lot of garlic, which instantly turns it into salty crispy chicken. Oh, I’m so happy, so is the fried tofu👍 The stir-fried beef pho is so good that you can’t ask for anything else. The soup is very good, and the stir-fried beef is still tender but has an extra layer of aroma. It’s worth taking a special trip here to eat it🥳

This was the first time I truly felt I got value for money in London. I’ve tried a few Vietnamese places on Kingsland Road, which were authentic but heavily overpriced. Nem Nem serves proper, authentic food for a reasonable price. As a Vietnamese person, I’ve been searching for a place like this—where eating the food feels like sitting on those colourful little plastic stools on a side street in Hanoi. Thank you so much—I’ll defo come back ☺️

I have to give low rating for the food quality here. We ordered Cha Ca La Vong (catfish), Nom Muc( mango squid salad), Bun Ca Cay (spicy catfish noodles). The Cha ca la vong was probably the finest among 3. The mango squid salad mostly lecture and very bland. The most disappointed is the main dish Spicy catfish noodles. I think they use the Pho broth and use the catfish from Cha Ca La Vong to make this one. 🥲 nothing close to the authentic Vietnamese flavour.

[Please note that this place only takes cash] Came by on a Friday evening without a booking and the upstairs was very busy, but luckily they were able to seat us downstairs. The staff is super friendly and efficient. Service is very quick, from ordering drinks and food to having it all on the table hardly took more than 15 minutes and they served the dishes as they were ready. Having been here a few times before, it makes for a perfect lunch, and equally it’s a great place for dinner. Although it’s very quick service, it does not feel rushed, rather it comes across as attentive. The food is absolutely delicious. We had the spring rolls as a starter, which was crispy and tasty, Pepper Duck, Beef Stew (which was super tasty, but recommended to have with rice to soak up the sauce), and Bun Cha. All being absolutely delicious, however, the Beef Stew was on the more oily end, but nothing that made it stick out as unappetising. All in all, a great place for Vietnamese food if you’re in the Angel area. Will certainly keep coming back!
