Viet Grill in Hackney

Really delicious meal, my friend I was eating with is a regular and I suspect I might become one too!

So far best pho I had in London.

The pork stuffed roast aubergine is immense!

Food was good. Ordered the Campfire Steak and it came with a cool experience. Delicious, just not very filling. For the price, small portion sizes. Staff was nice & good customer service. Nice ambience inside.

Very mixed quality of food in this place. Chicken in the chicken curry was inedible. Service was very poor indeed. Staff were more interested in playing on their mobile phones than serving customers. I wouldn’t return.

Used to be one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in London, but menu has now been slimmed down and the food very average. Shame.

The service team extremely friendly and kind. The food was very good. The Pho’s are a must here

Nice place. Good food. Generous portions

Food taste was ok, but pho was like 90% of noodles, not even much of stock, dont saying anything about the meat. Price is almost £16, so should be better. Spring rolls two small prawns, not even feel them, just greenies. Great service and atmosfere, clean and tidy.

great food and excellent experience overall

Wondering food. Service a bit lacking but the food more than made up for it

Do not bother order take outs. Be prepared to not have your food in the bag, won’t provide resolution when half of the order is missing.

We had lunch here on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. The food was delicious, portions were generous and the lunch offer for two courses a real bargain. Highly enjoyable and I'll definitely return. Thank you.

2nd pho place that i have tried during this trip and it is also located next to the famous one 1 street further. Of course there was no queue on a Tuesday noon hence I don’t know how popular this place is. The pho in general had a different noodle texture and soup base compared to the other place. Pho was less salty but very oily. Still not comparable to pho in Vietnam or North America, but definitely worth visiting. Spring rolls were crispy and hot 😋😋 Food: 4.3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambience: 4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Affordable London Brunch that you'll be blown away by . I was shocked! Every single item from the new Sunday Fry Up menu at Vietgrill was BANGING. Strong flavours, huge portions and super moorish. . The deal is, one brunch dish and one drink for £18 which I think is a steal. . Definitely try the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk or the fresh sugarcane juice My absolute brunch favourites were these hanoi steamed rolls served with pork broth and saigon broken rice with honey pork chop. But honestly, all four options are must tries. . Sunday Fry-Up Options: SAIGON BROKEN RICE Grilled honey pork chop, steamed omelette meatloaf, pork threads and daikon. . GRILLED PORK VERMICELLI SALAD Flavourful pork patty, lemongrass pork shoulder, mixed tropical Asian herbs, white thin vermicelli and fish sauce broth. . HANOI STEAMED ROLLS Filled with minced peppered pork, wood ear mushroom, sweet onions and anchovy pork broth for dipping. . BEEF PHO Hanoi pho using the strictly traditional recipe, 24 hour marrow bone with juicy and tender brisket, quarter flank and broth cooked medium rare Irish beef to make the pho at top quality . Served with: Vietnamese Ice Coffee or Saigon Lime Soda or Freshly Pressed Sugarcane Juice . 📍Location: Hoxton 🚇 Closest station: Hoxton 💰Price: £18 for Brunch dish and drink

Great find in Shoreditch. Better ambience and decor than other value for money Vietnamese restaurants in the vicinity. The shrimp and pork paper rolls were outstanding and so was the grilled pork Chop on a bed of rice. The lamb shoulder curry was disappointing. The chicken would have been a better choice perhaps. Missed duck on the menu. Overall, a happy meal to end the weekend.

I first ate here 2 years ago and I never forgot it. Just go. Get the fried sea bream. Service amazing. Speedy but it’s still excellent

Very nice Vietnamese food, lots of vegan options as well. Very tasty!

The pressed rice was not heavy. Pho particularly good. A nice roasted taste to the seafood pho.

Thought I was getting pho but got a plate full of noodles veg and tofu. Disappointing. Waiter was new and didn’t really have a clue. Poor training.

One of the best Viet places to visit in London

The service was very bad, I waited for several hours and there was no water. The service fee must be paid and cannot be ignored. It is highly not recommended to eat here The service was very bad, and we had to wait for hours without any drinks. The service charge must be paid, and it cannot be avoided. I strongly advise against eating here.

Everything was so delicious! Great modern ambience too, give this a try!

The reason I'm giving a lower score is because when we arrived, a party of 2 , there were 2 tables booked for a large group and a few empty tables , I think for 4 . Despite being empty, we were told the tables were all reserved, As we were hungry , we had dinner at the bar and until we left , which was late , the tables were still empty so we had the impression that they lied to us so we wouldn't occupy a table of 4! I don't think it's nice to lie to customers and pick and choose who they want to sit . I liked the food but won't go there again

I been coming here a while so I know how it works. I understand that customers are meant to write down their orders and take it to to the till. When something is not on the menu, I'm more then happy to explain what I need. The cashier worker didn't seemed to to understand what I was saying. I said 'I wanted chicken pho with bun'. She said she didn't know what bun is. I explained that that's the skinny noodles. My food came and it was wrong, dry grilled chicken with noodles.I understand people are allowed make mistakes, but she had the audacity to approach me and said I wasn't clear. She spent 2 minutes staying that I was wrong and need to explain myself clearly. Even if I was wrong, theres no need to confront a customer like that. Don't worry, I will spend my money elsewhere without the rudenss.

Very tasty pho, and this Pho is better than the Pho I tasted when I was in Hong Kong. #Yummy Perfect time when I was finishing the flower shopping at the Sunday Columbia Flower Market and go to Viet Grill for lunch! Definitely I will visit the restaurant again, as it is so close to my office.

3rd visit with friends to enjoy the flavours at this Vietnamese vibe eaterie. All enjoyed the taste of their meals and service... we'll be back, no doubt.

Been here for more than 5 times over the past year and I feel like the rice sheet rolls are getting smaller in portion size 🥲 still really tasty, but paying £17.7 for a shrinking “large” portion (which I ate within 5 minutes) makes me a bit sad…

I recently dined at Viet Grill Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by both the cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes, blending bold flavours and beautiful presentation. The attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured that our meal was a memorable one, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction. I can’t recommend Viet Grill enough for a fantastic dining experience. The staff were great. The restaurant was clean and room service was always on time. Will be goiing back! Thank you so much. L

It must have been 20 years since I was last here and they’re still smashing it. Great food, interesting drinks and great service.

The streamed rice roll is delicious

I’m obsessed! This was our first time delivering and there was nothing but sounds of enjoyment. Everything was well packaged and secure to avoid any spills. Will definitely being visiting the store soon to dine in!

Craving Vietnamese food after a trip there, we headed to Shoreditch and came across Viet Grill. Everything we had was delicious, quality & authentic, great variety on the menu. Maybe not the exact je ne sai quoi that you feel in the country but it was amazing. Service was very good and prices not bad. Highly recommend for Vietnamese food in London.

Amazing Vietnamese food. Authentic cuz am Viet from Vietnam.

food is so delicious and best service. Very recommended for who looking Vietnamese restaurant.

The best. It's our go to place to eat out - service & food is always amazing.

The food was very tasty, the service was great and I had a lovely meal with my family

My food was great, but my friends got pho and they thought it was very watery. However, everything else was perfect. Highly recommend the Guava Fever drink

Food was very good, service was pretty typical of places in London, loud on a Saturday night but is what it is. The food made up for any complaints I may have had.

Delicious rare pho with rice noodles, typical Northern taste. The wonton noodles are also delicious, especially the char siu meat

The worst food ever DO NOT EAT THERE

Sooo great food and lovely people. A bit slow but friendly service

Authentic Phở. The best. Bar none.

The best Vietnamese restaurant ever! We had a dinner at Viet Grill but hadn’t expected the food to be so great. It was literally the best Vietnamese meal we have ever tried in the UK. The food was well marinated and gracefully cooked. We found the crispy squid extremely tasty because the freshness of squid was well preserved with good seasoning of salt and pepper. As Chinese we are extremely picky about food taste but I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed here. After checking out my friend forgot to claim the bill for personal use and I called the restaurant for assistance. The staff were all very nice and helped send the photocopy back to us. We will definitely schedule our next dinner here!

Highly recommend. The food was tasty, sufficient portions and nice atmosphere. Value for money.

We had a deliveroo delivery from Viet Grill at work. I had the braised and caramelised catfish which was amazing. There was a lot of high praise from others too.

I ordered the food online from this place and they were cooking the food for 1.5 hours. The initial time was way shorter — 20 minutes . They did not provide any explanations or compensations. I would recommend to this place at all bar.

Amazing DeLicious authentic Vietnamese food , as it’s healthy organic food ! well recommended 🙌❤️🏆 Lisa 🌸

Friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommend the anchovy chicken wings to start, they’re delicious. For mains we shared the campfire steak which is aromatic and super tasty, plus the honey crispy chicken and rice which was also 💯. Best meal I’ve eaten in ages - really outstanding.

Delicious food both starters and mains - staff friendly .Great banana leaf wall paper would definitely recommend and will be going back .

I’ve had some pork bowl dish for lunch which I later vomited up. 6 hrs later and I still feel really queasy . There were 3 of us for lunch , no one enjoyed it and 2 out of 3 felt ill. Have eaten there before and it was ok but won’t be going back after today

By far the most flavourless Viet meal I ever had. The pho was water with some sesame oil and some frozen veggies. The other meal was the same frozen veggies undercooked with overcooked tofu. No taste, nothing Viet about it, but very expensive. Very disappointed and I highly recommend not to go there. Unless you want tea, the oolong tea was ok.

Massively disappointing experience.

Title: A Taste of Vietnam on the edge of Hackney Nestled in the bustling streets of the city, Viet grill is a gem that brings the vibrant flavors of Vietnam to your plate. The moment you step in, the cozy ambiance and subtle aroma of herbs and spices set the stage for a delightful culinary journey. The menu boasts a diverse selection of Vietnamese classics, each dish a symphony of fresh ingredients and expertly balanced flavors. The pho, a signature Vietnamese noodle soup, is a standout – the broth is rich, fragrant, and the rice noodles have the perfect texture. I thoroughly enjoyed the pungent kick of roasted garlic in the "garlic pho with flash fried steak" For appetizers, the salt & pepper (chilli prawns are a must-try, offering a delightful crunch with every bite. The spring rolls are a fusion of crispy pastry and savory fillings that transport your taste buds to the streets of Hanoi. The staff's warm hospitality adds to the overall experience, making you feel like a welcomed guest in a Vietnamese home. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, ensuring you get value for your money. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Vietnamese cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore its delights, Viet grill promises an authentic and memorable dining experience. It's a culinary journey that captures the essence of Vietnam, leaving you with a craving for more.

Good food, good atmosphere, quick service, reasonable price and portion. Happy to come back here for quick dinner with friends.

We found this gem on our xmas night out before heading to Wiltons Music Hall for a panto and the staff were so helpful in getting our food quickly. We would like to return when we were not in such a hurry. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were super friendly and the food delicious.

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in London. It’s a bit on the pricier side but food was bomb. Definitely order the: - Banh Cuon Hanoi - Thit Kho To with Jasmine Rice - Bun Cha Hà Nội - Goi Du Du (Papaya Salad) Will come back!

Really great food. Only knocking a star as it’s a little loud on the acoustics

Very good food, very bad service (service was pretty and they then put an extra sneaky beer on the bill, which was obvious and I called out).

Popped in out the cold and place did not disappoint. very good food and highly recommend the Beef Pho, the original one. the summer spring rolls were great and very big. staff were accommodating and very friendly. don't forget to ask for that little sauce... the one with chunks of garlic and chilli.

Portion was on the smaller side but enough for someone with a small appetite. Beef was tasty - especially the fatty flank. I liked the broth more than the noodles. It came around £17 for one person for just a bowl of pho. Definitely on the pricer side.

This place hits the spot every time. The phos are hearty and flavourful, with fresh herbs and bean sprout toppings. I love the garlic beef pho. The rice rolls are amazing with the bbq pork, very generous portion and it slaps. Also I love the vietnamese iced coffee. Definitely visit this place for amazing vietnamese food, or order for delivery. Their packaging for delivery is very secure and the food quality doesn't diminish.

It's a crime that this restaurant has a 4 star reviews. Their pho and Banh Cuon (rice rolls) should win awards. I order from this restaurant so often and I think it deserves some attention.

Amazing Vietnamese food in a pleasant environment.

Zero star for this restaurant about manager’s service . He is very rude and distinct clien. Never come back and would not recommend.

I was drunk ok… but it was the best viet restaurant I ever eat ! Thanks u

Nice restaurant with good authentic Vietnamese food

Amazing food, fav vietnamese in London

Delicious, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, fantastic value, and welcoming service

Ordered on Deliveroo and can't wait to come and eat in the restaurant! The Pho was insanely good, never tasted such a tasty broth!!! Felt like eating bone marrow 🤤 The beef was also super fresh and same for the summer rolls

Amazing food. Not an expert on Vietnamese food but it seemed legit to me. Enjoyed the beef curry.

Food is the only thing that gets 5 stars. As for service this was not good. Unfriendly and treated like an inconvenience to the staff. Got ignored and had to ask for most of the service.

Amazing Vietnamese food! Very delicious! Definitely come back! Thank you!

I'm a Vietnamese. When I went to this restaurant to eat, there was an employee with short blonde hair who was very rude to us. chị tóc vàng ngắn hãm ít thôi, trước khi lấy đĩa đồ ăn của khách thì mở mồm ra mà hỏi trước.

This is the best authentic Vietnamese food I’ve had outside Vietnam! The portions are decent and all of the cocktails are great, especially the coffee one!

Very friendly and helpful staff!

Avoid. Slow, indifferent, and condescending service. It was not busy and we didn’t have a large or complicated order. Yet, we waited for a long time before our order was taken, waited quite a while for our summer rolls and waited over half an hour for our mains. We didn’t get the water we asked for and had to get up and ask for it again, and we also had to get up and inquire about our mains. We also asked to have a basic portion of noodles for the children but were told that we can’t have it because it’s not on the menu, which is ridiculous because it’s the main ingredient in many of the dishes. So we ended up fishing the noodles from our own soups and putting it on the kids’ plates. Overall it was a disappointing experience and I was unhappy to be charged a service fee for a service that didn’t exist. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants nearby, and that’s where I’ll be going next time.

I really enjoyed the rice sheets (beef) thingy, surprisingly good. I think it’s very different from the rice sheet dishes we had elsewhere, strong flavored soup. Excellent service, wish table would be less sticky next time when we come to try other dishes:)

A very surprising and impressive restaurant. Real good quality food. Great service too. A real surprising dish which everyone must try is the rice sheets with grilled pork, I’m sure restaurant can correct me with an exact name. One of the best dishes I’ve had in any restaurant this year. Wish I took more pics. I ordered a wok fried pho, very saucy and lots of meat and veg. Fried rice with pork chops was very pleasing to take home. Spring rolls were nice, meaty and flavoursome. Summer rolls were great. Only wish was just a bit more peanut sauce with my summer rolls. 9.5

Best Spring rolls I've had in London. The beef pho was flavorful and had an ample amount of fat and umami. Really authentic taste, similar to the taste when I had pho in Hong Kong.

Slow service but friendly. Incredible pho! The best in London. So tasty.

I sat and waited for 20mins and no one came to take my order. Poor performance

Imperial spring rolls to die for.

Excellent food and good service. 6 of us had lunch together and really enjoyed it. Loved my Hanoi char grilled belly pork. Big portions! Only 3 stars for atmosphere because it was lunchtime midweek and rather empty, but that suited us as we could have a good chat without disturbing anyone. Thank you to the other diner who kindly took an excellent picture of our group for us. Hope we weren't too noisy for you.

Have been here a few times now. Consistently excellent food, love this place. ❤️

Great food and tasty, strong cocktails at amazing prices (happy hour).

Had high hopes for this restaurant but as someone who lived in Saigon for 4 years, I was extremely disappointed. No bún thịt nướng on the menu, and when I asked for it the waitress pointed at the bun cha and told me it was the same thing, which it really isn't. Had the Phở Bò among other dishes and nothing was very tasty. No fresh chilli which might have helped a little. Overall very disappointed.

I think this restaurant deserves 5-stars, and the Vietnamese foods here are one of the most authentic Vietnamese foods I ever have had in London. The taste of foods is rich and excellent. Will certainly come visit again!

Viet Grill is an incredibly underrated Vietnamese restaurant that deserves more recognition. The pho they serve is simply outstanding, among the best I've ever tasted. Although the selection of side vegetables is limited to coriander, fresh bean sprouts, and mint, the broth itself is exceptional, and the beef is remarkably tender, cooked right on point. While the cold dishes may suffer from being made ahead of time and lack freshness, the hot dishes I sampled were truly outstanding. The value for money is impressive, and once you experience Viet Grill, you'll never want to go back to chain food restaurants like Pho.

Disappointed as they was mix up with our table even though we booked it felt like we were shoved in a corner food was good service was fast but poor my sister in law waited so long for two dishes we ended up sharing our food with her by the time her dishes came the rest of us we're half way through our food. No Alcohol sold but you can bring wine or beer they charge £4 a glass

No idea what the food is like but my 5 year old desperately needed the toilet earlier and so I went in with her and asked to use the toilet but the manager said no and told us they were for customers only and we should go elsewhere. Just plain mean

Finally a decent bun bo hue in central London! Moved here from Sydney and have been long searching for an authentic bowl of BBH. Visited for lunch, ordered Bun Bo Hue, Saigon banh cuon and a side of chicken wings. The BBH was funky, fragrant, spicy and very tasty! We've been to all of the main viet restaurants on the strip (i.e. Kingsland Road) and all of the BBH's at each of them are not BBH - more akin to Pho with a little bit of spice (with no shrimp paste at all and even served with pho noodles), so it was nice to finally get a proper bowl of BBH. Whilst not quite the Saigon or Sydney standard of BBH with the blood jelly, banana flower, and super deep flavoursome soup, it is perfect for any Viet travelling in and craving a good bowl of BBH. Banh cuon was also very nice - steamed on site so it was fluffy and soft. Chicken wings were tasty. Bonus points for condiments - pickled chilli and garlic, and sate on request.

Đến ăn mấy lần đều rất ưng ý. Đồ ăn ngon chuẩn vị vnam nhất là bún huế, bún chả, phở bò. Nước dùng đậm đà . Sẽ ghé thường xuyên

My Vietnamese friend took me to this place once and I keep coming whenever I crave Vietnamese. I love their prawn papaya salad and their Pho. Service is good too.

Party of 5 on a Wednesday night. The place was buzzing and packed. Really enjoyed the food but the best was the house specialty steamed crepes. Very authentic and fresh. Way better than the steamed crepes in Hong Kong. The summer rolls and salt and pepper squid were also good. Hands down the best Vietnamese I have tried in London on this trip. Went back on Thursday for lunch which is a nice quiet atmosphere. A great lunch set is available for £14.95 and the original pho is very good.

Loved the phoo. Beef or Chicken its the best

The food was exceptional. It was very loud, though, only half full.

Leckeres essen, super schnelle und freundliche Bedienung. Haben Vorspeise und Hauptgang zeitgleich bestellt und zügig das gesamte Essen erhalten. Lasst euch etwas zeit mit der Vorspeise und bestellt den Hauptgang später. ;)

Food was so authentic and delicious. Also staffs were very friendly. I definitely recommend to everyone who visit shoreditch Vietnamese food street!
