Viet Rest in Lewisham

Love this place so much! Amazing foods, amazing service and friendly people Their pho is the best in london so far One of my soul food’s restaurant in london Thanks for existing really.

I’m completely addicted to this place

Worth a visit in Deptford, was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint. The decor was amazing and each table has a great selection of sauces. We had a chicken papaya salad, the grilled pork, salt and chilli chicken wings and prawn summer rolls. This was all plenty of food for the both of us

Very good Vietnamese family restaurant. If they can make good beef, they can do anything right. Big variety of dishes.

Nice Vietnamese restaurant, tasty food, not too expensive and great atmosphere. You can pay by card!

Incredible food, would highly recommend this restaurant. Especially the lemongrass and chilli goat and the fried pork with vermicelli

Great authentic food. Fab downstairs space for karaoke and birthdays. The restaurant also helps to provide relief e.g. raising funds to help flood/disaster victims in Vietnam.

Great experience, original decor and waiter, good food.

Wow this place was a really good find-the food was absolutely delicious and all freshly cooked. The freshly squeezed orange juice was fabulous! We shared two dishes -one was a pork dish with a tasty dipping sauce and noodles, the other was special noodles. Both dishes were really tasty with lovely fresh ingredients. It's a sign of how good this place is as it was really busy. It's a bit out of the way but well worth seeking out.

Wonderful food, great service, Deptford at its best. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Always a pleasure coming here. The food is great! We had the grilled quails as usual, steamed pancakes and tried the squid with celery for the first time. The squid dish was really delicious and addictive! Authentic Vietnamese food. The dishes usually come fast and the staff is friendly. 100% recommend Viet Rest.

Food is always good. The owner and staff are very pleasant and helpful. There is a staff from Lithuania and he looks after the restaurant and the family members well.

I love this place. The food is super awesome and the service is spotless ❤️ Will definitely come again and bring more friends

Great service and my food was good and came soon after I ordered. Interesting decor.

Food was exquisite and fresh, the workers are very nice and polite and food didn’t take long to come out! Really great!!!! (*´꒳`*)♡

Good bún chả Hanoi here, nice & friendly staff. Can be a bit noisy with loud remix music & karaoke, but like the Vietnamese way haha

We just came back for the second time all the way from North London: Most delicious and authentic food, great atmosphere and service - and absolutely amazing wall art upstairs and especially downstairs!!!

Excellent atmosphere, love the seascape murals and stairway down to the toilet. Feels like walking down a cave!! Food is delicious with great variety and amazing bang for buck. I love the crab soup and pancakes especially, but this time we went for the grilled pork and spring roll bun. Haven’t been disappointed yet!! Fav viet spot in South London

Pop in here for a quick lunch. Good food, fast service and the manager is super friendly. Pho wasn’t the greatest I have had but their Bun Rieu was excellent. Highly recommend

Walked past a few times and thought we'd give it a try. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic prices, authentic food, very well cooked, BYOB. Loved it! Overall a lovely inexpensive meal. Also great party room downstairs.

A nice, non touristy place. Food was amazing and the staff is super nice. Will come back again.

Incredible and authentic Vietnamese food here since the vibe and flavours is very reminiscent of Vietnam. Service is also exceptional. The banh cuon is my favourite from here - I recommend it for all seasons. I am in love with the painted wall of Ha Long bay. This restaurant is very unique and feels very homely.

Located on the outskirts of London, Viet Rest is a Vietnamese restaurant offering an authentic dining experience, bringing the vibrant and aromatic flavors of Vietnam straight to the UK. This place is a hidden gem, ideal for those who want to explore Vietnamese cuisine away from the tourist circuit.

I got the viet rest fried noodles - best freshest noodles I've ever had. Munchy vegetables, well cooked meat, not too oily or salty. Perfect!

My favorite Vietnamese spot in London. The Com Rang Dac Biet is authentic and extremely tasty, and don't skip dessert.

Very delicious Vietnamese dishes. Good price and quantity. 🙌 FYI They don't sell alcohol, so come in with your favourite one.

The cooked beef pho & Vietnamese spring rolls are the best I’ve ever had. I always do take away but the restaurant is lovely, however my friend ordered the rare beef pho & it came out cooked.

I had the lemon grass chicken and spring rolls and was really good, portions were big! Service was not very attentive, had to go and collect water jug and pour our own water. But good value

Yummy crab vermicelli soup, yummy aubergine and tofu, yummy spring rolls.

I come here once a week with my partner. The food is great quality, they have quick and friendly service and the murals and fish tank add to the vibe. The place is usually busy but you can always get a table.

Lovely food will definitely go back and staff is very nice and helpful.

Incredible price with delicious food. Always will be our favorite restaurant in south London! Enjoyed every dinner after finishing courses in Goldsmiths.

Incredible food, wholesome atmosphere, perfect for dinners and karaoke !! There’s a private karaoke room for friends downstairs, and upstairs is more for dinner and conversation Amazing service all around and great portions

Nice service. Let down by ordering the steamed rolls marked vegetarian which came with meat slices on top - encountered some difficulty/contradictory advice from serving staff on whether it was meat and ultimately they took it back to the kitchen to remove it. Otherwise good portion sizes but mediocre quality. Also took over half an hour for food to come although I was the first and only person there on opening.

Delicious Vietnamese food. A hidden gem.

One of the best Viet restaurant in the town.

The food is not 10 points, but the price is cheap and there is no service fee. I will come back again

The food is very delicious ☺️ exactly the flavor of Bac Pho that you're looking for, especially no service fee, will come back to the restaurant many times ☺️🥰

Order the Vietnamese spring rolls. Thank me later.

Great experience, booked for a large group of us (10) and as we arrived got taken down to the karaoke room. Food was excellent, service quick and prices reasonable. Karaoke was a lovely surprise on top, would defo reccomend. BYOB massive plus as well

Served peanuts after stating serious nut allergies….. food came complete with peanuts !!! After requesting a freshly cooked dish, we were given the same dish with the peanuts scrapped off even though we were told categorically that it had been newly cooked. This is extremely dangerous and the consequences for two members of our party who have serious nut allergies could have been severe if we had not noticed this could have been catastrophic. We are appalled and beyond disappointed that this happened after we expressly told them of our needs. Sadly we will not be able to risk returning to this restaurant again.

Love this place, friendly staff and amazing,, did.

The vegetarian pho was amazing!! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back soon :)

the phō was amazing 100% recommend!!

You will find authentic Vietnamese food here and save your air ticket to Vietnam.

Food was okay but we were rushed to leave just after eating telling us there’s people waiting, which didn’t feel great, some people were still there who arrived same time as us. We were two people but ordered fair amount of food. We gave the feedback in person but they didn’t seem keen to hear it 🤷‍♀️

Love this place! Decor is wondrous.

Unbelievably delicious food. We had the seabass and it was cooked to perfection and came quickly. Even the egg fried rice was amazing. Good service.

This is one of the best places in the entire area.The people’s there are very nice and the food is amazing and delicious.also the place looks like a place in Vietnam (the paintings on the walls).

Can get loud. But otherwise great food and prices

This place used to be really good but is now just awful. Quite mediocre food served by people who can't even bother to come to your table or even acknowledge your presence. Deptford now has much better options for Vietnamese food. Sadly can't recommend this place any more.

We visit this place twice a year when having the cars MOT locally. The service and food is fantastic and we catch up with the waiter Din. Try the fried spring rolls, very good

Really great value for money and delicious food! Big portions

The food here is amazing! Love the papaya salad and the grilled pork vermicelli! Pho Noddle is good as well. The boss here is very friendly and approachable. I would definitely come again.

Lively restaurant with authentic Vietnamese food. You can take your own booze as they don't serve any. I had a tasty noodle dish with Vietnamese spring rolls. The Vietnamese coffee was nice too.

lovely food and nicely served and not too long waiting time

Been coming here for years.... The food is amazing and always is. Consistent is the word. The staff working there is always in a really good mood and service minded.

Absolute favourite! Authentic food and excellent service

Super fresh food in a friendly local restaurant. Big menu with all the classics done well.

Staff were quite abrupt, but food was good this is my second time visiting. I had the beef pho and flavours were good. Wish they had beef balls in it though.

Viet rest is placed at 10 mins from deptford bridge dlr station. Its a BYOB place with no extra corkage charges. We ordered summer rolls, chicken papaya salad and fried beef noodles. Summer rolls were popular as almost everyone at restaurant was ordering summer rolls. Summer rolls were good but dip could have been better. Mango chicken salad and fried beef noodles were really good. This place has fresh produce and under budget.

Wish I could give ZERO stars. Ordered a crab roll after looking on the website menu, got to find out a week later it is crab and pork when looked on Uber eats and deliveroo that it is crab and PORK, called to ask if it can just be crab and was advised is premixed. Website menu is very misleading! How can you not state that it is crab and pork? I have now as a result of this eaten pork when I do not eat meat.

My absolute favourite Vietnamese place in the UK. Transports me back to my time in Vietnam. So, so delicious. And the murals are exquisite!

Came for a Saturday lunch, not been back since refurb - love tables and mural all beautiful still and nice place for casual dining. Large portions of quality food and excellent for sharing. Me and my friend had Bánh cuốn (double size of other places portions and delicious) grilled pork and spring rolls salad (meat was great, so tasty) and tofu pancake (thicker than usual but still great and salad was good addition). We had lemon drink and Vietnamese iced coffee. Was a nice place to take a visiting friend. Won’t take so long to come back.

Nice spot, efficient service, but food was sub-par & not cheap. I had a rare beef pho, but there was hardly any meat & what there was, was string, tough & over-cooked. My daughters fried noodle dish was swimming in oil & she was unable to finish it. No complaints from my wife about her fried prawn rice dish, but she did comment that the water glasses were dirty.

Authentic Vietnamese food in a restaurant filled with Vietnamese families. And they do BYOB.

Always amazing here! Probably 6th visit, never disappoints. Value for money is unreal

We come here all the time, and food is very yummy and service 👍.

Really cute looking place, I was very excited to try it because looks wise looks great and it’s always full. However, the service was too slow and the food didn’t meet our expectations. The fried aubergine was the worst aubergine I have ever tried. The mixed vegetables noodles were ok and the tofu summer rolls were too basic. The rice came last and not as a side so couldn’t be eaten with the aubergine. Would not come back.

Tasty food and very friendly staff. Lovely decorated place!

I love this Vietnamese restaurant. Staff are friendly and the food is on point. The portions ate generous and Its a bonus to see Vietnamese people dining in a Vietnamese restaurant. Thank you I would definitely recomemd

Best Viet in London 😍 must try! All the food looks and taste amazing and is super clean.

Very tasty, reasonable prices, good portions, very glad I went there :) Appreciate unlike all other businesses you don't force a service charge on customers - gladly gave a tip, as I always do anyway when I'm happy with the place :) Keep up the good work!

I have always enjoyed the food here, good variety and decent size pho. However last few times I have been let down by repeated errors. I ordered a take away and when I got home I was missing 2 portions of banh cuon which cost £17 When I called them they said that I can come to collect, however I live 40mins away so couldn’t go back. They offered to give it back next time. However as I live far away I didn’t go back until recently, when I asked about my banh cuon they said ok. Unfortunately again they forgot to add this in and instead I had meat spring rolls instead! Not what I ordered! Their English language is quite poor and when I called again they said they are no longer able to help me and that my order was correct. Don’t think I will be going back now, unfortunate as like I said their food and portions are good

Food is delicious and reasonably priced. We had jellyfish salad, stir-fry goat and prawn pho, and all were very tasty.

This place is amazing, brilliant food at very good prices. Love taking people here when they visit London, best Vietnamese I've ever had

Good price, friendly staff, and really good pho. Starters were great too

Absolutely lovely place. The food is so fresh and delicious. We dined as a group of 4. Love the painted landscape walls as well. We had summer rolls (even the sauce was really fresh), potato prawn pancakes. Some of the others had a broth dish. Everyone was feeling so content after! To finish off we had a Vietnamese coffee. Vegetarian options available also.

Very good, real traditional Vietnamese food. Good service and the portion is great for the price. Highly recommend. As a Vietnamese, this place really eases my homesickness whenever I come. The music choice is also nostalgic and the wall is painted with a Ha Long Bay scene to top it all off.

Really good food, decent service and cute old skool decor.

Always very good quality food fresh and good portions. The service is just what I want - not too overbearing but helpful if I need to ask a question. Good value for money. Would highly recommend if you enjoy Vietnamese this is a favourite of mine. Consistently good for many years. Lovely decoration and very clean.

The best pho I've had in London. As a pho lover, I've tried so many Vietnamese restaurant and this is definitely the best among them all. We ordered Plain steam rolls - freshly made, and if you order the extra sauce (creamy sweet sauce), it brings me back to Hong Kong ! Fried Crab rolls - crispy and loaded with prawns, mince, crab and vermicelli. One rolls cut into 4 but i want more ! BBQ chicken rice - very tender flavoured chicken with chicken oil. 有走地雞味 Special pho - just amazing! The soup doesn't taste like MSG, got strong beef flavour. And very big portion. Location is great, 2 mins from Deptford train station.

This has VERY good staff. Have been coming for a while and the dishes never seem to disappoint me.

Great customer service. The two ladies were attentive and helpful. Food was decent.

Wow! I told them “This was my first time having Vietnamese food and I must say, I’m so happy I came here!” Delicious. Every bite was so unfamiliar yet so tasty! It is wonderful finding new flavours to love. Come here. Somehow the excellent blues music fit right in. Great service. I noticed a proper karaoke room downstairs with big screen, instruments to play, nice speakers and equipment. What fun to celebrate a party down here I thought! As the Terminator said, “I’LL BE BACK” The empty bowls pic says it all really.

very nice food, lots of good vegetarian options

Excellent food and great service. My friend Stew who lived in Han Oi for eight years said it’s very authentic. Lovely paintings on the wall and the karaoke room looks fun :)

Service really really bad. Very disappointed

Very poor service from the skinny lady have long hair. Was told to hurry up and eat as they were closing for lunch service but they didn't mention that when we entered the restaurant to eat. They then took it to the next level by dimming down the lights so we had to rush our meal!Very unprofessional.

Great food, like really great, good price, and the slow dawning that the picture going right round the walls of a lake with limestone 'dragon's teeth' is actually literally painted on to the walls. If you say thank you in Vietnamese (Cam an) you get a big smile from the staff.

Very authentic Vietnamese food. We go there quite often especially after the restaurant was renewed. Great services as well.

Really nice authentic viet food, friendly host and waiter as well who asked us specifically for our preference so they can make coffee just how we like it.

Beautiful atmosphere, love the art work, friendly staff. Would recommend to a friend :) sorry about the glass lol

Extremely friendly family-run eatery serving up delicious Vietnamese food. Highly recommend trying the BBQ Chicken with rice, the Pho as well as the salt and pepper tofu. We go here about once a week!

Best, most authentic Vietnamese in London 100%

Always my kind of Vietnamese food, I visit this restaurant frequently, usually for breakfast and dinner, I order beef or pork dishes and I am yet to be disappointed, they accept card and cash.

Love this restaurant! Come here every week, good prices and good food and dog friendly too. Staff are super friendly and welcoming! Really can't recommend it enough!!!!

It was a good restaurant before. After covid the prices have been considerably increased and the portions halved.

Don’t sleep on this hidden gem, top tier Vietnamese restaurant with true authentic flavours. Didn’t have to think twice looking for somewhere to eat as soon as I saw Pho pictures posted from other patrons. Prices are slightly higher compared to other restaurants but 100% fair & understandable considering the quality meat and in depth broth just like I’d cook for my family at home. There are a few dishes that are definitely underpriced too! 2min walk from station, only downside I would say would be the parking, boxed loading bay sign says 20min but I was there for nearly 2hrs with no ticket no issues.

Delicious food, generous portions, friendly service, delicious freshly pressed juices. The prawn broth was a definite stand out for me! Would recommend and will be back!
