Ngon Cafe in Newcastle upon Tyne

Overall good experience and very good pho soup! Recommend fish sauce chicken wings as well!

Fab food and value for money! Lovely staff too

Great atmosphere, amazing food and great customer service. Food came really fast and tasted great. Will recommend to family and friends.

Very friendly cafe / restaurant, good size portions and quick service, had the aubergine with onions and egg fried rice. The young lady who served me was lovely and very helpful

A little piece of Vietnam in Newcastle. Food is freshly made to order, staff are friendly & helpful. I had the chilli & lemongrass tofu which is sooo good & veggie curry & rice which was the perfect level of spice for me thank you.

Had this for lunch on the way from edinburgh to sheffield. Great food and atmosphere. The beef that i got was juicy and the rice steamed nicely.

If you love Vietnamese food, be sure to visit this place. I really like the food there

Brilliant fresh Vietnamese food in lovely setting and atmosphere 😊

Great food and service. Highly recommended, I will be back again soon

I suggest everyone pho and vermicelli

For Newcastle I’d argue this is a staple of date dinners going forward. A little quiet when we went but I’m sure it would be busier had it not been for the bank holiday. Would recommend. Dad approved.

We enjoyed our food here. There was a quick service en the staff was friendly.

Great Vietnamese food, great Vietnamese staff. Would recommend 100%

Tasty and good value. I ordered a special pho bun. Service was quick and there was only 1 staff.

Brilliant restaurant. First time trying pho and husband is now a fan. Food was well cooked, fresh, and tasted amazing. Great serving sizes. Good variety of well labelled vegetarian options on menu.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Great food with fair prices. The sauerkraut and beef fried rice and house special pho are to dream of. Nice coffee too. Easy parking nearby.

Yummy food! We had salt and pepper wings and squid to start.....delicious. We had raised pork with rice and king prawn noodles.....amazing. Highly recommended

I visited a few days ago and had the worst experience. I ordered No. 55 BUN NEM CHAY (Vegan Tofu Spring Rolls Vermicelli), which is supposed to come with vegan spring rolls. However, only the vermicelli dish was served, so I asked about the missing spring rolls. They explained that they had run out of the ingredients for the spring rolls, so they just added more tofu and other toppings into the vermicelli instead without informing me in advance. Even after I asked them. I ordered this dish because I wanted to eat the spring rolls, so I was really disappointed that they made that decision without asking me. No one even apologized. Isn’t it basic customer service to let the customer know if part of their order can’t be able? Another thing that completely ruined my experience was finding hair on the plate when rice noodle was served. The server casually brushed it off with his hand as if it was no big deal. It was disgusting. I visit this restaurant quite frequently, but after this terrible experience, I won’t be coming back. Even the pho, which I used to enjoy, tasted different these days.

Eaten here twice recently, first time I have prawn Bun Hue, soup had a nice flavour but meal felt like it was missing a lot of ingredients. Noodles, prawns and stock. A very small serving of bean sprouts and fresh chilli. Visited a second time and had Veggie Pho as I’d seen it previously and thought it looked great, summer roll and a prawn noodle dish. Prawn noodle dish was very oily and taste of chow main, flavour was fine but nothing special. Pho stock was very bland, dish contained noodles Pak Choy tofu and noodles, so dish felt bit. No fresh herbs were served which were expected with Pho, overall very disappointing. I was told this was the best Vietnamese in Newcastle, unfortunately I don’t agree, more effort needed for the flavours.

I’ve been eyeing on this resto since I came to Newcastle..Yesterday, my friend and I got a chance to pass by and had lunch here. It was a right decision ☺️ The food is wow. Serving is large. The cost is worth. Although I only one staff that served, cleaned and as doing the cashier too, he’s quick and very accommodating. I like too the ambiance wherein you are like in Vietnam. Overall rate for me is 5. I would love to come back to try their other menu.

Absolutely incredible. Very fast service (less than 10 minutes between ordering and eating), and the food was next level- full of flavour, very authentic. Had the Bun Bo Hue. Best Vietnamese restaurant in the North East? Will definitely come back. Plenty of vegan and veggie options as well!

One of the best places to eat in Newcastle, lots of flavours with quick service. I feel sorry for people who go to ‘pho’ near monument that place is horrendous in comparison.

Best of all vietnamese in town, service can be slow sometimes but the food is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

so the first time i ate here was with a group. they were the ones who suggested it. since we were a group of about 7 or 8 at the time, i felt kind of squeezed in. but when the food came i was actually pretty satisfied. the staff was also very nice. unfortunately, i didnt take note of where this place was or what it was called and craved to dine here again every now and then. for me, the food was that good. eventually, i did find it and now it's one of my go to restaurants. in summary: tight space but overall still worth it.

Good food, good service. The only thing is the tables are quite close. It's a small place so I guess that's to maximize the seats.

Very nice place, quick stop for lunch. Food was amazing.

Really nice food and bige portions too! The authentic style, texture & flavour of the food is unreal! Try the ANY of the Pho, super good! 👌🏻

First time visiting. Excellent choice of menu and service was initially prompt however I waited way longer than my friends for my food to arrive which meant they were eating while I waited. However, I must say my food was delicious and I would return.

I brought my friend to try the fried chicken wings with fish sauce and she loved it. We tried beef noodle soup. Perfect for the cold weather, the meat was tender and soup was savoury. Will come back for more.

The pho is delicious, I love their soup, the beef is tender and fresh.

Really good Vegan options, very tasty.

Amazing food and service Highly recommended

Just amazing! Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, can't wait to return. 5*

I came on Friday. The food at this place was excellent! Great flavors, fresh ingredients, and a cozy atmosphere. Staff who wear glasses was kind and friendly. He described details about the Pho. I love it ❤️. I highly recommend it! From Taiwan 🇹🇼 💕

Eryc is the nicest waiter ever made us feel so welcome

Eryc was super kind and made our experience so lovely. 10/10 would recommend this place to everyone. Amazing comfort food, very much looking forward to coming back!

Went here for a birthday meal and there was incredibly kind and helpful service from Eryc! And the food, drinks and atmosphere are so lovely :)

The noodle soup is very fragrant and the amount of beef is huge. It’s delicious😋

Best pho in town, it better stay standing until the end of time

Very delicious. I ate it several times

Hmm... It's very ordinary for Taiwanese tastes, but the portion is enough and it's considered a passable Vietnamese cuisine. Hmm... It's very ordinary for Taiwanese tastes, but the portion is enough, and it's considered a passable Vietnamese cuisine.

The prices were reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable.

Authentic Vietnamese menu, great portions and a decent vegetarian and vegan options. They have an alcohol license and accept credit cards

Highly recommend for Nigerians Customer service is top notch and I had an amazing experience there.

Had a delicious vegan pho soup! Will def be back

Lovely flavourful food, attentive service and cosy atmosphere!

The pho was delicious and Eryc was very welcoming and attentive!

Eryc was the best! So attentive and the summer rolls are delicious. The only negative was the restaurant was a bit cold

Food was fresh and delicious. Eryc served us and he was super friendly and attentive!

Lovely restaurant that I stumbled upon while visiting the city for work. Eryc was very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious.

Amazing food and the best egg fried rice I have had in a long time

Amazing food!!! We were served by Eryc and he was great

Eryc was incredibly nice and the food is delicious!

Pho was fantastic especially in a cold day! Was served by Eric and had a lovely experience. Highly recommended.

Lovely service and food - the gent with the white hat was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend

Nice pho, beef tastes very good

The staff were super friendly and the food was absolutely scrumptious. Lots of variety on the menu and the portion sizes were massive - could easily have one dish between two. Super authentic would go back !

Friendly staff, amazing authentic Vietnamese food. We will be back!

I love the attention paid to a variety of taste bud needs: non-spicy to 🔥 spicy food.

Food was really nice. Service was really quick.

warm and homely meal good for the soul 💖 recommend the rare beef bun bo hue and pork prawn summer rolls! also can’t miss the vietnamese iced coffee, quick service and attentive staff

Nice, clean and fantastic food. I came here as I had to wait a few hours for my train. My food came fast and was piping hot! Tasted amazing. Would also recommend their lemon tea it was 10/10 Definitely coming back when I’m next in Newcastle.

Ordered a beer, starter and rice main and was not disappointed. Food was really good and tasted incredibly fresh. Will definitely return. Would recommend the chicken spring rolls and the curry.

Amazing food, lovely staff, lovely seating area 🫶🏻🦭

We chose this place for my birthday as I love Vietnam and Vietnamese food, we weren't disappointed, it's small and by British standards looks like a cafe rather than a restaurant. However, a lot of restaurants in Vietnam are like this so don't be put off. It is the real thing, fried and fresh Vietnamese spring rolls just like the ones you get in Hanoi, the noodles, rice and Pho were all lovely, Vietnamese beer and western wine at a decent price. Overall the cost of the meal was surprisingly low for three people and for what we ordered and ate. I love this place - the only disappointment is that I forgot to tip and I noticed the next day the no service charge was included in the bill - my fault - so sorry. However, I will be back and I'll tip next time. Thanks for a great addition to Newcastle's restaurants.

I’ve been to the restaurant twice ,once when in opening week and more recently and there has been no improvement in the food quality. Hue Soup was overwhelmingly salty with no other flavors, and the fish dish tasted extremely fishy. What’s worse, the table wasn’t even cleaned until we asked. My friend and I ended up leaving most of our food coz we were so disappointed.

A very strong 4 stars from us. A lovely little place with some very nice food! Vegan spring rolls were delicious. As was the shaken beef rice

Excellent authentic vietnamese food

It was fine, maybe a 3.5/5 but not good enough to return. Starters arrived well before our drinks which was weird. Iced tea was okay but expensive for what it is. My starter didn't arrive, a few minutes later isn't a problem but it was ages to wait. When it did arrive (prawns) one was warm and very tasty and the others were pretty cold so unappetising... then along comes the main course minutes after my starter, so everything at once which was annoying. If this is a usual issue it should be communicated when ordering as I wouldn't have bothered with a starter. My friend ordered fries but got rice and was then told they didn't have fries. The main (wok fried beef) was very tasty and enjoyable. Staff were friendly and apologetic for the wait. £27 seemed like a lot for what it was.

Authentic food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Best Vietnamese in Newcastle.

It was so good ! I recommend it !

Best Vietnamese food I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Great atmosphere friendly menu with loads of options including vegan. Exceptional service.

The beef pho was unbelievably delicious - fresh and tasty. Felt transported back to Vietnam. The staff were wonderful too.

That was great. Brings back good memories. Love the service and definitely coming back

The pho is just too good here! Soup base is yummy! Vietnamese coffee is simply the best!

Very nice place for Vietnamese food in Newcastle. Must-try the spring roll! Waitress are lovely as well 😄 🤣

Highly recommend Ngon. The pho is amazing. Also a bonus… it’s halal (apart from the pork dishes of course)

This Vietnamese café is the absolute best. The pho is very authentic and all the sides are definitely worth the price and are very flavourful. It never misses. The staff are really lovely and very accommodating. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really lovely with the lights and the music and it feels very authentic. this is always me and my boyfriend go to restaurant any time we go out and it just feels so warm and comfortable sitting and eating here with a nice big bowl of Pho. Please come here (or not I don’t want it to be busy 🫢🫢😉)

Really good egg fried rice. Noodle soup was okay. Very warming!

Delicious food in newcastle. I have tried the Pho and it is amazing! The staff is friendly and they know what they are cooking! The place has good seating and the prices are reasonable

Oliver: Best Food in Newcastle, nice service, even the drinks!! The Owner is bloody handsome as well!

I recently visited this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience. The side dish that was supposed to accompany my Vietnamese pho never arrived, and the staff casually mentioned they forgot it. The pho broth was extremely bland, lacking any of the fresh flavor you would expect. The chili sauce had no heat or fragrance, making it completely ineffective. Despite the high prices, the portions were small, especially the beef. The chicken wings were flavorless, with just a faint hint of lemon. Overall, the food quality was poor, the portions were insufficient, and it was definitely not worth the cost. I left feeling unsatisfied and hungry.

The best restaurant in Newcastle, 30 highly recommended

I actually emailed the previous week asking what parking was available, with no response. It is very casual and had lots of Southeast asian customers, by which I was encouraged. One can of Fanta £2.50 One prawn fried noodles £13 One chicken pho £12.50. Tasty and large portions, but we were charged yet again for asking thm to put our considerablee leftovers into a decent takeaway.

Has a lunch time meal. Food was amazing, atmosphere was brilliant and the service was fantastic. I could really recommend Ngon Cafe.

My first experience of Vietnamese food. We visited early evening. Food was served quickly. It seemed that both starters & mains came together but this wasn't a problem. Quite a few young Vietnamese eating there & a busy takeaway/delivery service. I wasn't sure what to expect but enjoyed the meal

We had a wonderful evening here. Delicious summer roll followed by noodle soup bowls that never seemed to get empty. We were well fed, very good value, and had a great time.

Butter chicken wings and Vietnamese coffee are a must

Must visit in Newcastle! Very tasty! Serve quick to heal the hungry stomach and soul.

Very tasty and traditional Vietnamese food. Authentic food from vietnam. We reminded the same taste when we were there in vietnam. 100% recommended

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Had the pho and sweet and sour chicken and they were amazing!

Overall it was a good experience, food was good, except not very spicy, people were really friendly, summer rolls were really impressive

Food was very good except the beef: it was chewy in my dish and full of fat in my husband's dish. The lady who served us was lovely and smily. The place is nicely decorated but quite cold (not heating in the winter) and not super clean (especially the bottles of sauces on the tables).

Vietnamese restaurant, delicious food, friendly staff!

The fried noodle was delicious :)

I usually went to Ngon cafe every week to have a Pho. The food is so fantastic! I really like it! The pho no.33 that being a spicy soup (but not spicy for me lol) is sooooo nice! I ordered this menu with chicken for 4weeks with the deep fried Vietnamese spring roll. It’s such a best combination and authentic Vietnamese food. The staff is nice and the students can use 10% discount! I will be back every week to have pho no.33 with chicken! I obsessed with it 😍🍜

Great place for a Vietnamese coffee

First time going to a Vietnamese restaurant and I was blown away! The sides are particularly good for vegans - summer rolls are so flavoursome and the chilli and lemongrass tofu is so crispy and moorish! I can't wait to go back to try more. Enjoyed the pho and I like that it comes with little garnishes to add yourself, but think it's better for non-vegans - my friend said the beef one was delicious. The portions are huge too! Also get the snow lemonade!!! I was so surprised by how sweet and tangy it is! Literally the most refreshing drink I've ever had in my life and I keep craving it! Very unexpected :)

The worst Vietnamese restaurant, choose it if u want to ruin your lovely time

The dishes are all delicious. I like pho and slow-braised beef We went there twice already. The staff is attentive despite being so busy. The oolong tea is also nice if you like Asian tea. 👍👍
