Nom Nom Restaurant in Hackney

Had dinner here, the food was ok. As were the drinks. The lemon and kumquat juice is nice! I noticed quite a few vegan options though, that was worth noting. A little warn around the edges (but a lot of good things are!) the menus were a bit battered, and the waitress needed calling over for every element. But we enjoyed our visit

This restaurant has a hygiene rating of 1. No surprise then when I ate there yesterday and was sick as a dog. “Cash only” demanded the manager. Food below average compared to neighbouring Vietnamese places.

10/10 Vietnamese Restaurant - Unbelievably fast service - Large portions and low cost per meal for the area - Lovely interior and good atmosphere - Extensive Vegan menu

Excellent delicious food, the pho was amazing and large in quality, and the flavours were fantastic! Super affordable especially compared to the other Vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland Road. Service was very good and incredibly fast. The vegan menu is absolutely massive - caters to vegans far better than other restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend!

I’d Highly Recommend this place honestly lovely food, great staffs and beautiful bright and clean inside :) The staff made us laugh was such a vibe all of them so laying for service was more than worth it they deserved more even :) Food was all lovely and most of all Price is very good compared to alottt of other Vietnamese spots so this will have me coming back for sure :) Make sure YOU go I know there’s afew other Vietnamese restaurants right next to and opposite but this is the place to be :) support local businesses ❤️❤️❤️

Best Vietnamese in London! The vegan choices are delicious and tasty. Van is the best host!

The Hanoi chicken pho tasted great...very authentic. The crispy spring rolls were OK but not remarkable...didn't taste of much. The free prawn crackers tasted a bit stale. The decor is nice compared to other Vietnamese restaurants along Kingsland Road and prices are decent. Would definitely go back.

Great place. The prices are really reasonable - £8.75 for some of the mains like duck curry. Really tasty. The service is great, the staff have a really good sense of humour.

All the food was so delicious, amazing vegan and meat options! The stuff were lovely and it was a great experience overall! Would absolutely go again.

Friendly service, great food, super fresh and delicious, best Vietnamese on Kingsland Road. Good value. We’ll be back.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Cant believe we waited so long to try this place. We will definitely be back soon.

Great vegan food and nice service!

Food was seriously good! Managed to walk in on a Friday evening. Fantastic vegan options plenty of choice. I will be back!

Great taste for the first try Viet Hotpot, also staffs are lovely, especially this gentleman😃.

The third time I came. Big fans for Nom Nom This time I take Banh mi As good as another dish.

It used to be very good but not anymore, the quality of food went down significantly

Very nice food and very nice service from my friend Vin

The place is amazing, Van is an amazing waiter and the food is always good

The food was SO GOOD. The best meal I’ve had in a long time. Everything felt fresh and like home made cooking! So happy with all the servers who seemed happy to help with anything :) big up the owner as well who was bussin jokes with us the whole time. 10/10 experience would do it again

Delicious food and great service. Thank you.

Great place and atmosphere, thank you for service, great food and definitely recommend

Great food amazing host/owner! Prices are a steal for the quality 👌

Best beef phở and aslo the cheapest one in london you can get. It takes 12 hours to cook the broth soup. Amazing…!!!

Probably my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in the area these days and there’s a lot to choose from. Rice rolls and Stew beef pho are amazing plus lots lots more!

Possibly best beef Pho in London. Aslo, other dishes are good to eat.

The soup was pretty bland for pho and the other noddle soups. Not sure why this place has such high ratings.

Welcoming atmosphere and staff are super friendly! Food was 10/10

Amazing food. The owner was really friendly.

Sadly the food was with no flavour. They had no food for children and could/would not adjust any food they had to make it more child-friendly. The atmosphere was very chaotic and loud.

The pork in coconut what's missing the coconut and every other flavour. Tasteless. Very noisy environment, rude service. A waste of money.. and no food for children.

Great food and excellent service!

Amazing place , thank you so much 🙂

Found a new favourite Vietnamese restaurant! Very good food, great value for money and amazing service 🙂

Delicious Pho and very friendly service. Will definitely visit again.

I have been here a number times with family (with kids) and friends, and the food is always very tasty and not over seasoned. They have some great dishes on their menu like bun cuon which are not always found at other Vietnamese restaurants. Service is great!

the cutest vietnamese restaurant, the owner is a fantastic host and the food is really good with a lot of vegan and non gluten options as well, they’re very accommodating

Amazing service, affordable and delicious vegan Vietnamese!!

I consumed so much chicken and wine that I had to be winched out of the property. 5/5 - you need to go.

Great meal and hospitality! Highly recommended

Had an amazing meal here, reccommend the tofu and aubergine curry! Phoneix gave us an amazing experience.

Very good restaurant! The service was fast, kind, professional. The waiter (or owner ) was super funny and attentive. The pho was very tasty , the Vietnamese pancake was unique.

Second time here and again I was wowed by the quality for the price. Must have is the golden pancake!

amazing place - lovely interiors, lovely atmosphere, lovely service but most of all wonderful food!!! Pork claypot curry is sooooo good, highly recommend - so soft, tender and flavourful, and the nem nem is a great starter

Very nice food and good service.

Everything is so good you literally cannot make a mistake. We love coming here. The crispy fried tofu rice pancake is so good. Also the best service the owner is LOVELY.

Delicious food!! And such lovely staff - shoutout Van!!

Immaculate vibes. The service was fantastic and Van is a real boss.

Had a fantastic time and will be coming back with friends the host was incredibly polite.

Amazing. Van the man is INCREDIBLE!! Loved him

Great food, great service. Would highly recommend

Amazing food and amazing choice, definitely recommend!

Everything on the menu slaps. Indulge people.

Great service, great food, great times

Lovely food and service. Great atmosphere

Very nice, as expected from the restaurants in Shoreditch The price, quality and portion sizes were great

Very nice staff. Food arrived really quickly and we were a table of 10+

Fantastic and very friendly service, and delicious food! Definitely recommend the imperial chicken

The waiters are 100% amazing and the food is banging. Ban was my absolute highlight

It was so nice . Lovely food . Great service. All came in timely manner . Fabulous

The chicken pho is delicious ! Def recommend

Excellent food with very friendly service!

Oh right! When I first sat down I assumed the good reviews were because the main waiter was so funny and charming and cute, but then the food arrived and it was soooo good. Really fresh tasting and FULL of flavour. 5/5 basically

Very nice food, the service is so nice and funny! We came here twice, because we liked it so much ! The Pho Bo was amazing!

Best Vietnamese in London!!! Consistently brilliant!!!

Great beef pho, generous with meat and tastes great

Had the loveliest time - amazingly friendly service and great food. The most delicious egg fried rice I’ve had my whole life. Enormous portions, especially considering the price! So many options will be coming back and back to taste more, every single thing we had was perfection.

Never disappoint! Been here a few times everything absolutely perfect! food very yummy (big portions) and stuff super super friendly! atmosphere is perfect too.

Great food. large portion. Good atmosphere!

Absolutely treat eating here. Authentic Vietnamese. Van is the most funniest host . He's great at suggesting what to eat. The food is soooo good. I come here atleast once a month and I've never been disappointed. Such a great find.

Great place, definitely recommend!

The food is really good!! And the atmosphere is nice~

Van and the team provide the best service. Van makes us feel comfortable and is most attentive. They also have a wide range of vegan food.

The owner is so cool and friendly

Food is so delicious 🤤 we come almost every week. And the staff are very friendly

Phenomenal. The service was so amazing and our waiter was so funny and happy. Great food, would definitely come again!!

One of the best phos I’ve had in a while! Lovely staff as well

Nom nom is by far the best Vietnamese spot in the hoxton strip! Their menu is incredible, and have a great range of traditional dishes which are always so fresh and tasty. The best part is their service, me and my boyfriend are always made to feel so welcome every-time we visit (which is regularly). The shaking beef is one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten too, love it here ☺️

Best viet food in the area & best bossman

This is my best beef stew pho in London!

Average Vietnamese food. The price is very reasonable.

The Imperial Chicken was the best and service was great too!

Got the: Lemon & Kumquat Juice, Chicken Pho, Spring rolls. Absolutely delicious! The pho was everything I needed - it’s so dry in London I was literally dying for something soupy and this literally hit the spot. The soup is like a proper Vietnamese soup base like the one my mum makes. Clear chicken broth, juicy and soft chicken pieces and just so delicious. Spring rolls were crispy and the vinegar was spot on with pieces of pickled carrots. The lemon and kumquat juice is so sweet and tangy. I would recommend this place to anyone. There’s a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but this one really takes the cake and I’m sure they’re all delicious but this one feels just like I’m in Vietnam and my mum is cooking for me. Feels like home.

Really nice, authentic Vietnamese food!

The food was amazing!!! The freshest Vietnamese food I’ve had sofar. and the owner and waiters were so kind

Amazing food. Half of it plant-based 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰

Amazing authentic fresh tasty Vietnamese food and a very interesting menu too. Very reasonable prices and friendly service. Lovely lunch as always!

The quality of the food at Nom Nom has gone down, yet the prices have gone up.

Very good restaurant, used it because our regular place wasn't open. Food was very good and service was good also. Had the Pho as usual.

Extensive menu, everything made to perfection. Sadly no pictures of the sweet potato and prawn Hanoi pancake! Great family led staff, fantastic value. Will be back!

This is literally the best hearty meal. 100% will go back and they have such quick service! Just everything is perfect ☺️

very the best Vietnamese around!!

Service was great and quick but the food was super flavourless when we went unfortunately

Had high expectations after seeing the other reviews but was unfortunately let down by the food and to an extent by the service. We ordered spring rolls, soft shell crab and bun cha. I found the spring rolls too thick and the fillings were too dry. Soft shell crab and bun cha was also not flavourful. Re service, it took a while to get their attention to pay and also the waiter was abit rude about allowing my friend and I to pay separate different amounts. He only allowed split payments but eventually agreed to us paying different amounts.

Friendly staff and the manager is a character. Loved everything we ordered, so delish. So happy to find banh cuon here and the bun Bo hue and banh mi was elite.

A delicious restaurant every time you go. Staff members are friendly and personable, especially Van who takes extra effort to make you laugh and ensure you have a fantastic dining experience!

Horrible and Exploitative Workplace. Bullying Owner and Manager. Do not pay employees. I worked here as a waiter a year ago, and it was definitely the worst experience of employment I have ever had. I feel deeply disrespected, bullied and betrayed. Although I had devoted myself wholeheartedly days and nights to the job, the manager reviewed badly to the owner about me as lacking the learning attitude and responsibility at work after I had quit. He ended up not fully paying me, without any further talk or consideration. All I received was his rude and angry message accusing me of lacking dedication and a £100 payment out of his pride to cover my travel expenses despite the fact that I even spent a day working freely for him as a volunteer to faster get familiar with the job. They were both every bossy and bullying. The manager, named Hien, was full of personal resentment. Despite having some experience and skills, she showed no respect to other team members, mostly students, and kept shouting at us using discourteous language over negligible issues whenever she wanted. She scarcely gave recognition to the staff however hard they worked, continuously claiming herself as 'systematic' and 'highly-educated' while she was indeed the one who needed training the most on the most basic righteous manners at work, on how to be a team player and how to care for others' well-being. She also lacked the courage to take responsibility and to admit her own fault. Although I tried my best to follow her instructions and usually showed my kindness to soften her anger and please her, she didn’t understand or appreciate it. Even worse, she talked badly behind customers and treated them discriminately. The owner, Viet Anh, had only words. He believed whatever the manager reported without feeling necessary to further consider. When we first met, he told me that he wanted to bring happiness to others and create social values. I trusted him and sincerely dedicated myself to working and simultaneously finding a way to improve the toxic environment. But later I realized he actually had no actual will to create good things. He totally changed his attitude and became horrible to me after hearing some people talking about my poor performance, without any careful consideration or a decent exchange about the problem. I found out all of his concern was his own benefit and he was indeed the root of all problems. He kept talking about meditation, promoting 'mindful eating' on his website while his ability of self-control was very low and couldn't even be able to simply sit down and decently talk. He felt good about his generosity while no basic benefit of a legal worker in the UK was met at his workplace. He talked about kindness while feeling O.K. to disrespect his team members, to show power and to refuse to pay hardworking employees. He thought it was acceptable to hold an egoic idea of coming in to the workplace and said he didn’t need anybody while tens of people were working days and nights to help him make money. Initially, I just wanted to get rid of these things as I didn’t want to waste any of my time on those people. However, considering all the detrimental effects it has on my mental health so far, I think those people and their ways of doing business needed to be exposed as a warning for them to rectify their behaviours as well as to protect present and future employees. I strongly advise you guys to be humble and learn more, to see what true kindness and a decent business look like. If you put yourself above others, hold on to power and turn your back on your employees, sooner or later, you will get the consequences. I've been through some Vietnamese restaurants before. They might be underpaying, lacking benefits for employees, but I had never ever felt deeply disrespected and despised as at this place! We are legal workers in the UK, and we come here to cooperate with you, not begging you for the job! So, be respectful!

What a perfect dining experience. Lovely atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and yummy authentic Vietnamese dishes just like the flavours I had in Vietnam. My only slight criticism would be the nuoc cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce) is very bland and could do with being a lot stronger with the ingredients.

The food was amazing, tasty, fresh and authentic. We have chosen a few small plates to begin with which we're very tasty. The staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. The place was busy when we went bur they still managed to find us a table.

terrible the ingredients were stale and had food poisoning coupled with a rude old man

Friendly and attentive service. Great food - Recommend the pho and summer rolls. And a carafe of wine. Definitely go again! Cảm ơn 👍
