Song Que in Hackney

Love this place a london classic. Great vibe, service and food, would be great for a large group as well as two person. Vintage, old school interior, cinematic.

Good traditional food! Recommended

Soooo yum best Vietnamese I’ve had out of New Zealand! Will travel up from South West to come back here. 10/10

After some disappointing pho soup in Budapest, I tried this one. What a difference, this is how it should be. Delicious, exiting and authentic soup. They have a special lunch offers too. £ I highly recommend if you want authentic Vietnamese food

Service is quick. Very nice food and reasonably priced!

Love love love!!! Authentic vietnamese food, and service is very quick. Thank you so much, our family loved it.

Went for a dinner with my friend, service was great and the food was top notch!!!

Delicious food! Very good address for Vietnamese food, will be back soon!

Very good food and dedicated waiters

Delicious !!!! Highly recommended

This is my go to Vietnamese restaurant on the Kingsland rd. Always delicious, service is friendly and they’ll always fit you in if they can!

Great food and service, and very cheap!

The veggie spring rolls, pork chops, pho, and iced coffee were all amazing, no frills but incredible food and great service!

Very generous portions, beef pho and spicy crispy squid was amazing, always full which is a clear sign of good food. Fast service and attentive staff.

Insane food! So delicious and the team are super friendly and efficient

Wow. This was unreal. No notes.

Wow, super authentic vietnamese food. It came out super quickly, the food was super fresh and flavourful. Heaps of seats but was super busy and vibey local spot. Will be back here again. The spring rolls were legendary.

Great food and great people, loved it so much highly recommend

Delicious place and so reasonable. Highly recommend. Spring rolls and Vietnamese curry unreal!

Can I say this is the most authentic and delicious viet restaurant I’ve ever been? And is just 10 mins by walk from Columbia flower market. We had 1 beef noodle soup (you can taste authentic flavours of beef broth and rare beef), 1 traditional pancake with prawns (crunchy and delicious, with the traditional herbs alongside omg! ) and finally the stewed caramelised fish, chef recommendation, with boiled rice, the fish just melts in your mouth, strongly recommend these dishes! Staff very friendly

The best Vietnamese you’ll find in London

One of the best places in London

Good value of money , big portion , quite authentic

Amazing atmosphere & food. Will visit again.

Very authentic fresh food, no frills and reasonably priced

Super popular and I don’t know why. mien Tay down the street is better and I regret not going there today. Thought I should try it out but the seats are tightly packed, table paper was already dirty with flecks of soup. And the rare steak pho just wasn’t very good. The meet was not flavourful and the soup was MSG flavoured with little depth. Quite disappointed

Amazing food and great service!

Best Vietnamese food in the area

Haven't eaten here for about 10 years but friends really wanted to go so made a booking for tonight and despite being a Tuesday it was heaving when we arrived - with a queue down Kingsland Road. Even though we arrived on time with a booking we had to wait a while for the table to be ready. We ordered a selection of dishes which were ok, some better than others but overall nothing outstanding. There are far better Vietnamese restaurants in East London (and I've been to Vietnam). The toilets were filthy which makes me nervous about the state of the kitchen. The decor hasn't been touched since my last visit (possibly not cleaned properly either as everything I am wearing smells of cooking oil) and despite asking for water for the table twice it never materialised which was a shame as the caramelised fish was so salty I am still thirsty hours later. Unlikely to return based on this visit.

Always will be one of the best and worth the wait if need to!

The food is always so good and the cocktails were delicious too 😍

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

Great food and lovely informal atmosphere as always! Tanh was a great server - helpful with our order when we were unsure how much to choose for our party of 6 and just. Nice person in general. See you soon Song Que

They cleared the table beautifully because they took about 11 plates at a time!! The food was delicious we loved it very much! Hope we can come back.

Super popular jaunt near Hoxton Overground station. Service is quick. The starters — soft shell crab, salt and pepper squid, prawn summer rolls — were fresh and tasty. The staple bun had excellent spicy garlic fish sauce and generous serving of grilled pork and spring rolls. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in this city.

The whole team were amazing and made the birthday we were celebrating feel so special x

Well worth a visit, great authentic Vietnamese in the heart of Hoxton.

Food is great and the service is quick and efficient.

Amazing place with good price and very nice waiters. Waitress was sooo nice

Very dapper day vibes with the crystal chandelier against the almost mint green floor to ceiling colour that makes this long-established Vietnamese restaurant a standout amongst a street of many others offering the same fare. Local aunties can be seen gathered around larger tables reminiscent of how Chinese cafes are set up. Service is quick and efficient with actual Vietnamese staff in the front (who are very sweet and happy if you can actually say some of the dishes in Vietnamese - you can see it makes their day seeing you enjoy the dishes of the homeland). Don't worry, a fully English menu with pictures of some of the popular dishes is available. Also, how cute is the store front printed as the logo - on the business cards and take out bag? Very French bakery vibes. I guess you can truly say this is a place reflective of influences. Prawn crackers are given on the house to munch on whilst you peruse the menu for common sought-after dishes as well as a range of things I haven't seen elsewhere. I was keen to try the caramelised fish - sweet, sticky, spicy, and umani. What a great pairing with freshly boiled rice. I also get excited anywhere I can see banh khot (appears on the menu as prawn muffins, which I find endearing), so I ordered that too. It was crispy but anaemic. I felt it was lacking in the coconut taste I've fallen for in other establishments, but it's still a savoury mini pancake, so I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Amazing food, friendly service. Deservedly popular but meant it was quite busy and very loud. Otherwise a lovely atmosphere.

Best Vietnamese in London and very reasonable.

Delicious food and great service!

Lovely place! Highly recommend.

Superb pho. Lunch deals are good, too.

Friendly and attentive team looked after us during our Sunday afternoon lunch. It was busy and a buzzing atmosphere. loved the summer rolls and the sauce they came with was a lovely balance of spicy and flavourful. I was happy to see they had an alcohol free peroni and my partner had the Vietnamese iced coffee - yum. We shared the beef pho - all ingredients tasted really fresh. Will definitely be back 🥰

Far and away my favorite Vietnamese in the neighborhood.

Authentic Vietnamese food. Quick service. Reasonably priced.

Lovely staff, delicious food! Thank you!

Loved it amazing food and people !!

Incredible food. Best spring rolls we’ve ever had - also obsessed with the crispy pancake. Got sat so quickly even though it was really busy. Amazing service and food

Great food, very reasonable price (especially for London), friendly service (thank you Than!)

Spectacular Vietnamese food for a very reasonable price! Will definitely come back again :)

Amazing foods . ❤️❤️❤️❤️, 100out of 10 , definitely we will come back again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This restaurant is always busy..which says enough! Despite being busy the service is usually very very fast, I come here often within my lunch break. I always get the rare steak pho which I highly recommend if you like beef. All the dishes look great. Would recommend 👍

This place was buzzing!! Packed with people queuing outside waiting to get a table. The service was excellent and the food was wonderful, especially the spicy fried squid - to die for! Would definitely visit again.

Not bad except the price a bit high

Have been coming for years. It’s just absolutely divine Vietnamese. Great dishes, buzzy spot and well priced.

There are probably better Vietnamese restaurants in London if you’re prepared to dedicate many weekends looking for them, but why bother when Song Que exists? It’s been here forever for a reason. Trust in Song Que

Service was fast and super friendly.

Been coming here for 20 years. Betel leaf and beef is the best.

rude manager, shame because the food here used to be one of my favourites

This has to be the fastest I've ever been served food in a full restaurant. Granted it was Phó but not even McDonald's can put out cheeseburgers that fast. And the quality was 5/5!

Amazing pho! Great week night dinner.

Food was brought out promptly after ordering and was delicious, staff were also super friendly and attentive.

Had a fantastic dinner with really great food - the spicy beef soup and spring rolls were especially good! Staff were very friendly and attentive, really felt like we got a VIP treatment!

Unbelievably delicious pho and food, incredibly kind service and general impeccable vibes, all at a cheap price. It was one of our friends birthdays and they kept the cake in the fridge for us, helped us light it and dimmed the lights, leading the whole restaurant in song! Will be back. NB black olives made a rogue, but not unwelcome appearance

Best veggie spring rolls in London!

I love Vietnamese food and they did not disappoint, with price and quantity. Really recommend!

i love u song que cafe hoxton 💜save me song que cafe hoxton 💜

Sooooo good!!! Huge selection of food and drinks and all of it was so yum. Highly recommend the soft shell crab, will defo be going back for it!

Food and service both really good - the summer rolls and the spicy noodle soup were amazing.

Very good Asian food, good service and a packed house.

Excellent menu and food was great for dinner! Friendly staff.

The staff was lovely! Good service. And the food was great and fresh and lovely. Would definitely come again. Have been coming for years! Would recommend

The pho is delicious, staff very friendly, good vibes inside

Food is good, no reservation needed, service is stellar.

👍 Look out for the hourses with six packs 🐴

Très serviable, gentil, et soupe Phô EXCELLENTE et pas chère. Je reviens demain pour tester les plats et des Bubble Tea.

Fabulous as always, great food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Nhi who was super attentive and so friendly. I always feel welcome here but she definitely made us feel even more special than usual. Thank you, we will always be back !

Food was really nice and the service as well :)

Amazing good especially the pork bun and the summer rolls! Really lovely service as well. Will definitely come back!

The foods here is amazing!! Food was tasty and came out so quick. Had such a selection as well. Tang was really helpful!

The best pho in London, amazing staff and heartwarming food

The best of the Vietnamese restaurants on the southern end of Kingsland Road. Get here by 12.15 on a Sunday or be prepared to wait!

Probably the best pho in London / Europe that you can find. Of course, if you compare it to Asian / North American standards this place is only 4 stars. Pho was good, spring rolls crispy. Seems like there are other Vietnamese restaurants closeby so I can’t wait to try the others and compare it to this one! Thanks for having me

Quick food amazing service! Very busy place full of people and a queue because of how good it is!

Amazing restaurant have been coming for years!

Food excellent. Service rapid, just short of rude, as is typical from this crop of Vietnamese restaurants in this part of london. The restaurant needs some TLC - decor is from the early 90s…

Have gone past this place a couple of times and have always of thought of going. It exceeded my expectations! Would go back :)

I think this was the best chicken pho ive ever had…. and also the best spring rolls (theyre unbelievable). Food came quick and service was amazing too. COME HERE !

Food nice and authentic, staff helpful and friendly. Will come again if near by

Rude staff, treated us poorly enough we didn't stay for food.

Very dynamic and great atmosphere!

Delicious food and lovely staff :)

Pho was incredible! Our waiter Nhi was great. Would come back!

I ordered three meals for two people but only received two. When I brought up the issue, the manager assured me that I would not be charged for the missing meal. It seems the waitress forgot about it. I'm very disappointed and don't plan to return to this establishment.

We visited this restaurant on a very busy evening. I was really looking forward to a good bowl of Pho but as I don’t eat meat, that wasn’t an option here. The only broth they have is beef broth and they do state it on the menu. Did ask a member of staff too and they confirmed this is the only option. For starters we ordered spicy calamari and tofu simmer rolls. The calamari was not spicy at all, at most was dusted with some powder and the only spicy element to it was the chilli it was garnished with. The tofu summer rolls came with a peanut sauce which I really like. The rolls however were satisfactory simply because the rice paper was tough to chew. It felt like there was so much paper that overlapped or the paper was not dipped in the water enough. For main, my partner had the stewed beef noodle soup and I had the stir fried seafood rice. My partner really enjoyed his meal as it was flavoursome and rich but my food was quite disappointing. The dish had so much onion and I had to put some in the side plate. The sauce they use for the seafood stir fry tasted good but there wasn’t enough of it which made the dish quite bland. The prawns were perfectly juicy and succulent but the squid was like chewing on tyre. I did leave feeling like the only thing on the menu that mattered was beef noodle soup and the rest of it was just left to be average. The service was lovely. The waiters and waitresses are very kind, well-mannered and very accommodating. We did have the wrong food left on our table and our food almost go to another table but that was understandable given there were no empty seats in the room.

Amazing food, super quick and reasonable

Authentic, delicious vietnamese food, great portion. Very fast and friendly service
