Viet Quan - Vietnamese Street Food in Portsmouth

Great food and staff are very friendly

Loved this place and the food was amazing, really tasty and authentic. Portions were huge as can be seen in the photos and the price is reasonable as well. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fresh lemonade ���� Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Lemonade

Myself and some friends went here for dinner. I have to say the food was delicious and the meat was so tender. It was a lovely atmosphere for a small restaurant, not too loud. I would definitely return.

The service and the food were 5 star. I will be going again for sure.

We took the braised beef with rice, and prawn vemicellin, both tasted good, and their quantity were large enough. The waiter offered good service and gave us a baguette for tasting. Vietnamese coffee was interesting but too sweet in any standard.

We try to find phó wherever we go. We've had it in Europe and all over N. America. This was our 1st time in the UK and it was amazing! We started out with the cold rolls which were appropriately stuffed with shrimps and fresh veggies. My wife had the bun noodles and I had what appeared to be phoʻ tai nam. Both dishes were correctly presented with your choice of chopstick or K&F. The phoʻ had the chilis, bean sprouts and mint sprigs on the side. The texture and flavour were excellent. If anything the star anise was a little dominant but not excessively so. My wife's bun was chock full of grilled sweet pork and noodles. The price was not out of line for similar meals and well worth it. The service was attentive but not cloying.

Authentic Vietnamese food, beautifuly cooked with fresh ingredients. Relaxed atmosphere, Saigon beer imported from Vietnam, just off the beaten track. Very impressed.

Tasty and varied options, the pan fried noodles were very flavourful and the service is perfect. Vegan and vegetarian options clearly labelled as well!

Really delicious food, and also great for vegetarians. Staff are lovely too.

Spectacular, good food and good service. Good value for money.

Great environment and nice vibes all around thanks to Lenny :)

Lovely vibe in the restaurant very cutesy very demure. Lennie was a lovely server

lovely restaurant, so authentic and the food was one of the best we’ve had eating out! couldn’t recommend this place enough, definitely the highlight of our trip to portsmouth

Very enjoyable experience, food was delicious and the cocktail was equally. The server Lennie was very friendly and helpful

Easily my favourite restaurant in Portsmouth. The food is just incredible, I have always received wonderful service when I have visited and the restaurant has a lovely, intimate feel. I highly recommend the pho, of course, but also the pork vermicelli and the summer rolls

Delicious food, excellent and attentive service.

We had a lovely family dinner here. Food was fabulous and the staff were super friendly.

Really top quality Vietnamese food… we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. Especially the beef mince in chilli and lemongrass dish, the mango salad, the shaking beef and the chicken satay. Mouth still tingling as I walk home! Would totally recommend

Fantastic food and great service, the staff are super friendly and food very authentic

Superb food. Not a huge menu, but better to do a few dishes really well, than have a large mediocre menu.

Lush food, amazing service and not too spenny will definitely be returning!

Our first time visiting and we were not left hungry!!! The food was amazing so fresh and authentic, service was quick even tho it got really busy will definitely be going back highly recommend

Sensational! Great food, great service. Definitely coming back. We had the summer rolls, fried crispy tofu, steamed aubergine with rice and the vegetarian noodles. Tasty. Of course forgot to take any photos!

Excellent food, friendly staff. The banh mi and vermicelli noodles with grilled pork were amazing.

We just had a beautiful meal. When we come to Portsmouth we always stop to eat at this beautiful Vietnamese restaurant. The food is excellent and very fair priced, it is always a pleasure to pay the bill. Also the service and atmosphere is excellent. We fully recommend this family run restaurant. Thank you and we will be back Francisco and Lyn

Delicious Bahn Mi. I had the pork belly and my son had honey chicken. He said it was the best sandwich he had ever had.

Yet another great find in and around Southsea. Recommend the rolls and salt/pepper squid. Lovely cold Hanoi beer.

Best Vietnamese food I’ve had since leaving Saigon. Quite pricey but it does give you a nice reminder of Vietnam. I will definitely return! Ngon lắm.

Absolutely amazing loved it. Can't believe your not in the heart of Portsmouth you need to be.

Such a special,amazing place!Felt like we where back in Vietnam,will be back for sure,food was delicious. Pho 10/10, spring rolls where the best we've ever had!

Great food and service. Thank you!

Had lunch here today and it was brilliant, great staff and very authentic food, absolutely perfect!

Nice staff very tasty food very nice atmosphere in the restaurant

We went for a birthday dinner and the food was divine. I went for the beef chilli lemongrass, such generous portions I can’t wait to visit again! The staff was so friendly and accommodating and ensured that we all had a lovely time. Definitely recommend for groups or date night, you will be well taken care of :)

Great Viet food, lovely people - 10/10

So glad to have found this place, its excellent, especially as we're vegetarian. Would love to come back next time we're in Portsmouth.

Broth and the mango salad were sooo good. I particularly liked how they took time to chop the nuts small so they ran through the whole salad instead of sprinkling a few chunks on top like most places. Beef was so, so tender and really tasty dumplings. Generous portions. Delicious, fresh, and healthy food. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. Thanks x

Lovely welcome, fabulous service, and the food absolutely amazing. Caramelised pork and crispy pork belly highly recommended 👌🏻

Viet food in a very casual and friendly environment. Pho is always my favorite Viet food. I think it’s good in UK standard. Viet coffee is a bit disappointed comparing the Viet coffee that I used to have. Overall is still good.

Great lunch at Viet-Quan, the food was delicious and there was a good variety. The service was prompt and the venue is nicely decorated. We will definitely be back.

A delicious dinner spot if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food. The summer rolls and pork belly vermicelli were absolutely delicious.

The best crispy pork I have ever had book a table as it's very busy. the shaky beef was amazing 😋

Had a short trip to Portsmouth. Viet Quan is a must-try restaurant. Authentic and delicious thai food.

What can I say other than just perfect. We come to Portsmouth often and this is the first time we have found a restaurant of this quality. First of all, the boss knows how to listen to what you want and advise you accordingly. Everything is of a cleanliness that is unfortunately too rare in many places. The menu is varied and the dishes all have a lot of flavor. We ate two main course starters and bottled water for €60

Super friendly staff, lovely food and atmosphere and cheap too!

My husband and I like Vietnamese food and loved this cheerful, family-run place. Summer rolls were deliciously fresh, the salt and pepper squid right on the money. I had a super Margarita, with a sprinkling of fiery chilli joining with salt around the rim of the glass. All reasonably priced as well!

Really friendly staff. Great good. Really good price. Haven't had a bad experience yet.

Lovely place, best banh mi I’ve had in pompy, great staff with impeccable music taste!

I recommend the food highly, it was fast, fresh and very tasty. Incredibly good value for money. Service was friendly.

Extremely tasty fresh food, great service & value for money. I highly recommend checking it out!

Very helpful with menu. Food was delicious.

Really delicious food, fairly priced, great service and ambience. Love this place, will definitely keep coming back until we’ve tried everything on the menu. Service was great, went there on a Tuesday night for dinner before a show at the kings theatre. I was worried about time but we were able to sit, order, and eat in less than 40 minutes! Definitely recommend

Drove an 80 min round trip to get here and it was well worth the trip. I was lucky to live previously near to some great vietnamese restaurants but now I am too far away so haven't had vietnamese in several years. This restaurant didn't disappoint. We had take away. The team were incredibly warm and welcoming. I didn't have to wait long. And the drive was well worth it. My partner adored the food and he's now a convert to vietnamese. It's the first time he's eaten out and not grumbled! Instead he was delighted with his roasted pork belly and rice. The summer rolls were crunchy and the sauce delicious. We tried the Bao Bun as a started and this too was tasty. And my pork and noodle salad was excellent. We'll definitely be back to try different items on the menu. Thank you!

Amazing food and service. Surprised by the vitamin coffee. Everything is perfect and prepare to try again next week 😝😝

Very authentic Vietnam style food and good service!

Great food, friendly service, and fair prices. 100% recommended!

An absolutely delicious meal, everything we had was amazing and in particular the garlic prawn chow chow, what an introduction to this vegetable, honestly, you have to try it. All the staff were super helpful and friendly and a lovely atmosphere too. Cannot recommend highly enough. If we are ever in Portsmouth again we will definitely be visiting again for dinner! Thank you

First time in a Vietnamese. Very impressed

Good ambiance. Reasonably Priced. Huge portion servings, not expecting their Pho to be that large. Food tastes authentic. I had Pho, taste was fresh, light, and well seasoned. Staff were friendly and very accomodating. Will surely come back, and recommend.

Just had a wonderful meal here, delicious food with plenty of options, lovely fresh juices too. The two young ladies that served us were incredibly polite & couldn't of been more helpful. The food came out very quickly & was amazing! Spoke to the owner who was really nice aswell. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Scott & Heather.

Nice calm vibes when we arrived, definitely make a reservation if you can. The food is heavenly (recommend the beef pho) and servers are friendly!

Great authentic vietnamese food and great service.

As a Vietnamese person who has lived and breathed Vietnamese food since birth - I can say that I approve. I have tried many Vietnamese restaurants across the country. The food here at Viet Quan is as close to home cooking/Vietnam that you’re likely going to get. That is a massive compliment. No “modern twists” needed. Just legitimate good authentic Vietnamese cooking. Cảm ơn chú đồ ăn rất ngon.

Popped in on Saturday lunchtime. Service was excellent, the ladies had good advice. Food was excellent.

Small quaint with food food. My kids even liked it and that’s sayin something. Vegan pho tasted very good. This was surprising since vegan anything is usually tasteless. Duck was tasty but a bit cooked more than I care for bot NOT overdone. Spring rolls were a hit with my 14 y/o. With a visit but don’t go out of your way unless typical British food grosses you out. 😆

Four of us lunched, all ate something different, two new to Vietnamese food. It was fresh flavoured, light and delicious. The lads liked the Hanoi and Saigon beers and the house rosé was good with the food

Freshly cooked, great portion sizes, excellent prices. 🌟 A little candle on the table would add to the atmosphere 🕯️

Great value, delicious food at Viet Quan!

First time visitor. Very friendly, good atmosphere even on a Monday night. Food options for vegans relatively limited but I had two great tasting dishes. Would recommend.

Had a lovely salad, would highly recommend the homemade lemonade.

Amazing place to eat food was crazy good Steamed bun top shelf Highly recommend

First time eating here and it was exceptional! Fresh and full of flavour. Cannot wait to head back and try more of the menu.

Great family restaurant, fantastic food and super friendly service. The satay chicken, mango salad and pork belly were exceptional. Best meal in ages, thank you!

Authentic and wholesome food, good service and lovely owner, I wish I lived In Portsmouth to go here more often. Ask for the Vietnamese iced coffee or Bahn Mi won’t be disappointed.

Great food- it felt very fresh! Lots of choice- including vegetarian options- I had a great tofu noodle dish. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Would recommend booking. We will be back!

Collected some food in the evening over the weekend, and despite being really busy the food was ready in a good time and it was so fresh and tasty, will be coming back soon.

Very delicious, fresh and hearty vegan Pho! Highly recommend.

The lunch I had was absolutely full of flavour and cooked with expertise. I chose from a menu which allows you to share and experience a different kinds of Vietnamese cuisine. Great lunch, best belly pork you can try. 5* recommended from me.

Fantastic food, brilliant service. I had a bun and some tea as I was only stopping through, but looking at what other people had I wish I'd had the time to stay longer! Conveniently close to the university, there is some on street parking nearby (10 minute walk) up to 3hrs in the residential area which is handy. While it is on the ground floor, I think the doorway is a little narrow for a wheelchair and there is a step to get in.

The food r jux sooooo GOOD!!!! Have been looking for this taste for so long! The pho, the summer rolls n the vietnamese iced coffee r jux “chef’s kiss”! The staff is also very attentive n friendly! Overall Love it!

Incredible, authentic, so fresh. Great people, great service, highly recommend

I definitely recommend it. Friendly staff and the food is well made and presented. I recommend trying the vietnamese coffee.

More used to Thai food but this was as delicious and yet light and healthy. Will be back frequently 👍

Such a little gem in southsea! We came today and were so impressed- beautiful fresh flavours all the dishes were delicious so much so our toddler wanted seconds!! The staff are lovely very helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back to sample more of their dishes!

Great street-food restaurant with tasty Vietnamese dishes. Fresh salads, lots of coriander and mint. Crispy pork, chicken and beef really delicious. Our favourites were the prawn papaya salad, crispy pork and crispy squid. Really nice atmosphere and very friendly host. 10% off for students We'll come back again some time.

What a dish I had!! (crispy pork belly)! It was amazing, very well prepared, I could taste every single flavor! Excellent quality and skills! And the atmosphere is cozy, silent, clean! Thank you!!!

A great place for those with celiac’s disease and or gluten free, huge amounts of options, staff were super friendly and food came out quick and with great quality will highly recommend stopping by, Love it !!!

Lovely food and lovely staff! Perfect for a catch up :)

Great fresh food at very reasonable price !

Fantastic food and a great relaxed atmosphere

Great small restaurant, food very fresh

We'd driven past this place a few times,and thought we'd like to give it a try, so when a friend showed us a flyer she'd seen in Porchester (a few miles away) we decided to go, and we'll definitely be going back! The food was excellent, and we benefitted from our waiter's helpful suggestions, starting with a lovely savoury pancake that was big enough for us to share, followed by a tasty, massaman-style prawn curry and chicken with chilli and lemongrass. The whole meal was so delicious, I completely forgot to take any photos 🤔 As an added bonus, the music they played was an excellent selection of mellow, funky grooves👌 Do yourself a favour and get down there!

My friend took me here for a birthday dinner and I absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic, I had the vegan Pho and salt and pepper squid. It was so good. The prices were reasonable and the portions were generous. The staff were friendly and for any coffee lovers who eat here, I really do recommend their coffee.

Just ordered a takeaway - literally the best thing I have eaten in Portsmouth since I don’t know when - thanks Viet Quan! Lovely ambience while I was waiting too 5 stars all the way. Definitely will be back soon…

This a great hidden gem, the food here was incredible and tasted just like the last time I visited Asia. The people here are extremely kind and provided great service. I would highly recommend anyone to come here and I’m for sure going to stop by here for Lunch multiple times!

Amazing food , love the customer service it’s amazing .

Absolutely stunning food, the most vibrant flavours amazing chill people and amazing calm atmosphere, can’t wait to come back again

Fantastic Vietnam restaurant, excellent service, excellent taste food, highly recommended.

Brilliant food and wonderful service!! Would definitely love to return or order online next time I'm in Portsmouth 😃
