VIET STREET in Shepway

Best Pho I've ever tried. The broth is so flavourful.

This Vietnamese restaurant is a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The menu offers a fantastic variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes, each one bursting with flavor. The pho was simply outstanding – rich, aromatic broth with tender slices of beef that melted in the mouth. The fresh spring rolls were the perfect balance of crisp vegetables and savory shrimp. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of fresh, vibrant ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a special night out. The attention to detail in both the food and the service is truly impressive. Whether you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend. This review highlights the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, making it clear why the restaurant deserves five stars.

Great service 🙌🏼 Delicious food 🥘 We had chicken carry and tofu with rice 🤤 Definitely recommend !

Dropped in for lunch and it was absolutely brilliant. Probably the best spring rolls we have ever tasted and a beautiful chicken Bhan Mi. Highly recommended and so cheap as well.

I have enjoyed Vietnamese food since I spent 6 weeks there in 1996. Being virtually the only Vietnamese in Kent I had high hopes of enjoying an authentic Pho However, it was bland and not served with the usual accompaniment of fresh vegetables and garnish which is virtually unheard of in Vietnamese cuisine

Had a meal here today couldn't fault anything literally the best food I've ever eaten prawns were amazing tbh

Lovely place, well set up and lovely service. Food was amazing and high chair provided for our baby.

Cánh gà chiên mắm. Chicken wings in honey and fish sauce. The wings were cooked very nicely and had a great crunch for me the let down was the size of the wings and the thickness of the sauce, it was very watery. However the flavour was good. I only ate the wings so haven't really given this place a proper go but it looks fine inside and the lady that served me was polite.

The banh mi was a little disappointing in that it was just served in a standard French baguette style bread, but other than that, the food was great, exactly what I was after from a Vietnamese place! Fruit bubble tea was top tier as well Service was lovely, staff were attentive but not overbearing, and items were delivered quickly, I’ve done both lunch and dinner here in various states of busy (both for the restaurant and for delivery) and I’ve never felt I waited too long

Have to visit viet street whenever I visit Folkestone. The food is incredible and the service from the staff is fantastic. If you want a taste of authentic Vietnamese food, you must stop by!

My go to restaurant in Folkestone! Great lunch and dinner options. I've been slowing trying everything on the menu!

The owners of this place are super friendly and always have a smile on their face. I used to really enjoy eating here but unfortunately I can’t anymore since the food is not halal. Hopefully it’s something they could look into! The bubble tea from here is one of the best I’ve ever had (and I drink a lot of bubble tea lol). Any time I’m in folkestone I head straight for this place. It’s also slightly cheaper than most shops selling boba.

Great food, they serve bubble tea, too, for fans of that

Highly recommend..the staff are very friendly..the atmposhere enlightening and the food is filling, tasty and enjoyable. The bubble teas are a great choice. The price is on the ball with the freshness and amount on your dish. Go try amd if your not sure what to have just ask the staff will help you.

We stopped in here a day or two ago. It was during lunch and there were two ladies running the front. As far as we could tell there was one server available to the customers in the restaurant-- a blonde middle aged woman I am unsure of her name. The food was great. The flavor and sauces really sets this place apart and I have no complaints. Unfortunately, the server really put a damper on the entire experience. Either she is untrained or incompetent in handling the stress of being a server. She was running around the floor, talking to herself and confusing costumers, helping individuals out of order, forgetting dishes. She served us our main dishes before our appetizers. By the time they came out, we honestly did not even want them anymore, but they were delicious. The server also was avoiding her tables which obviously needed bussed and their bill while also simultaneously helping individuals who looked like they just wanted to be left alone. Honestly, just get take out if she is working it is not worth the service fee.

We ate here and it was very tasty. The service is very attentive and friendly. The food tastes excellent. Great prices. Very neat little restaurant. We would come again. Thank you

AMAZING food! Flavours to die for. Bubble tea!!! Will deffinatly be back. Prawn summer rolls - WOW

Great food and really pleasant staff. Restaurant was almost full on a Wednesday evening, says a lot.

Didn't even know this place was here but now I do can't wait to visit again. Loved the food starters were amazing, I could had gone through the menu trying everything. Hence I'll revisit a few more times. (David M you really need to chase your son up and visit this place 😉) ok back to the review! Not only were the starters amazing the mains and service were too match. So to all those people that haven't visited Viet Street, try it! I'm sure you'll love it 👍

We’ve been to Viet Street a few times now, and they have been consistently amazing. Firstly the staff are super friendly which always makes a huge difference. Most importantly the food is bursting with flavour, certainly more than many Vietnamese restaurants I’ve visited in the UK. My go to starter is the chicken wings in honey and fish sauce; I literally dream of these, they’re so tasty. And a pho that I personally think can’t be beat… So glad to have this restaurant nearby, we will be back very soon :D

A really lovely Vietnamese restaurant with great friendly staff and authentic Vietnamese food! Would highly recommend.

Shocking really. Can’t believe they won’t do a half scoop of two flavours as they said it takes too long when they are busy, yet then said I could pay for two scoops. So it’s ok when you take more money from a 7 year old little girl getting upset but won’t otherwise do it. Every time we come in the staff are moody and unfriendly, especially the old lady. Stay clear

Really nice food and quick service.

Amazing pho & very welcoming staff.

Only popped in for a bubble tea, which was excellent. Menu looked interesting. Quite busy.

Really nice selection of authentic vietnamese dishes on offer and really good prices. Summer rolls were delicious with the peanut sauce and a propa taro bubble tea!

Tasty food😋 We must visit this great restaurant again👍🏼

Great food and service. A dining experience that never disappoints.

We’re very lucky to have Viet Street in Folkestone! The food is very good quality and authentic. We always enjoy their Pho and Banh Mi! Service is also excellent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely delicious food! Service is friendly and efficient. We were really pleased with everything. Will definitely be coming back again!

I Love viet street, Often go there for milktea’s but the food is also amazing!!

The food was bland I would not eat here again. Don't understand the good ratings.

Very good. Authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Good Pho, feel like in Vietnam.

Great foods and drinks!!! We came back 3 times in a row during our day in Folkstone, to try as many dishes as possible of this restaurant. - Phở and steamed rice rolls: nice like in Vietnam - Buble teas: very tasty - Special order of deep fried tofu & fish, just amazing. Staffs are friendly. I wish having this restaurant in my city.

NOTICE: service charge does not go to the serving staff and kept by management at time of visit. Food overall was good - had banh xeo (Vietnamese pan cake) and some pho. The banh xeo was somewhat too oily for me - left a coating of oil on my lips and inside my mouth which is not something I enjoy. Perhaps I’m used to how my mum cooks them - leaves on wire rack for a couple of minutes to allow the oil to drip off and use very little oil to fry. Personal preference so my overall 3 star is not based on this. What was disappointment was a 10% service charge which was automatically added to the bill. There was no mention of this on the menu that I could see and the bill does not indicate it to be discretionary either. What made it worse was on discretely checking with the serving staff (not owners) we found out the staff keeps nothing of this service charge. Owners should either just increase the price, be more transparent with this “service charge” or actually give this to their staff. I felt the right thing to do was to leave an extra tip to the server despite having to pay their service charge. If it weren’t for this, I would likely return to give the food another try. Disappointed that I won’t be returning because of this.

We absolutely loved and relished the food. Great service with friendly staff. Due to heavy traffic, took us more than an hour to get there, nothing will put us off I suppose. We are sure to visit again in the near future.

Beef pho, spring roll and boba tea are the must try! They are excellent 👏

Tasty food, big portions, lovely staff and very reasonable prices. Definitely worth visiting!

So tasty and fresh. I love this place.

we went for the first time. quiet midweek evening inside, but that's how we like it. service was friendly and the food was tasty. recommended.

Very tasty and came well packaged

Asked for no onions but it had onions.

Awful. Love this place but spent £40 trying out delivery. Only one meal came, no offer to send another. Asked for images to be texted to a mobile and denied getting them. Such a shame

Very much enjoyed my food. Thank you will be ordering from again.

£52 for 2 mains and 2 sides and we weren't blown away. My partner had beef noodles and chicken wings which he enjoyed. I had spring rolls and spicy broth veg noodles which were just a lot of noodles in a lot of watery broth - nearly £15 seems a bit steep, I have to say. I'm sure my partner would eat here again but personally I'm not bothered. Delivery was fast.

Delicious fresh food. Two buns in the bao items. Run out of tapioca for the tea which wasn't replaced but they did leave a nice note. Delivery time got delayed but it was a Friday night so understandable.

Expensive, but nice service and delicious

Very delicious and nice taste as I am Vietnamese. Thanks a lot. We are from Stevenage.

The beef pho is amazing. Felt really welcome. Very clean restaurant.

Delicious food, the bun noodles are just scrumptious.

Great food and great service. Thank you

Found piece of steel scrubber inside the drink , luckily we didn’t swallow it .. another buy big No No !!

Ordered beef summer rolls but received prawn instead, tasty otherwise!

First time to eat here after plenty of visits for bubble tea, the food was delicious and came out quickly even though it was busy. Nice friendly staff

Great tasting food and good service

Love the food here! Really good quality, fresh and delicious, it's our go-to takeaway.

So good!!!! I should have try them before. Everything super tasty! Thank you so much!! I will be back!

The food here are gorgeous and lovely. Me and my family really enjoy it. The bubble tea was also delicious too.

Always such a pleasure to go there, even if just to pop in for a bubble tea to go, so many flavours and options for bubbles or jellies, but the food is fantastic! Lovely staff and clean place with a great atmosphere! I love introducing my friends to this restaurant, so worth it! 10/10

One of our favourite restaurants in folkestone. Amazing flavoursome food, never had anything other than delicious meals here. Nice staff and fair pricing. Love it!

Good food. It feels less of chemical additives, which is good

Great food, amazing egg fried rice, lovely dishes and very good Asian food! An All in all fantastic restaurant.

Wow. Why is this place not in the list of the 10 places to visit in Folkestone? The food was the best Asian food I've in the UK. I dont give 5 star reviews lightly but was blown away with the quality. We've changed our plans to eat there again tonight. I had the stir fried prawns, my wife, one of the crepes.

Delicious authentic food, served piping hot. Very friendly staff. Loved the delicious pho Prices were quite high tho

Absolutely amazing chicken wings was the best I’ve had so crispy and warm

Really good Vietnamese food, and very friendly staff!

Delicious food, Excellent Service by the Waitress with Lovely Atmosphere. We had Crispy Pancake with grilled prawns, squid rings, Tofu with aubergine, Fresh Noodles with prawn soup, Green papaya salad all highly recommended. Cash Only. Will definitely return.

Really delicios Pho. The bubble tea was great, one of the best I've had for a long time. Arrived in great condition too and piping hot. Highly recommend if you're looking for something tasty and different.

The food was amazing. Fresh and tasty. This is by far the nicest take away I’ve ever had in Folkestone in the 20 years I’ve lived here. I will be ordering in the future and will visit the restaurant too. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Very nice Vietnamese street food restaurant, friendly attentive staff, food cooked fresh to order, reasonably priced. We had salt and chilli squid, which was amazing, I had a spicy pho with beef and rice noodles, also a chicken noodle dish, all very tasty.

Food was okay. Next time will order some thing else.

Tasty but expensive. I'm afraid UK rents and rates do nothing to help the street food experience.

Truly stunning Vietnamese food. Authentic and delicious. Not oily or fatty - very clean food. Perfect combination of flavours. Will go here again and again.

so delicious but it is pretty pricey so we only get it every now and then. everything is super good though! 💕

Food is amazing and the best quality. Favourite take away

Superb cuisine. This is a must if you like Vietnamese food and are in Folkestone. Great menu and wow what a selection.

absolutely delicious Vietnamese food, will definitely order again!

Food was lovely but I found it quite expensive.

Just came back from a year of living in Hanoi and wanted to share VN food with my family - we ordered 2 bowls of pho, some nem and a bowl of bun hue chay and it came to £65. That's like 2 million vnd!! I understand you wouldn't expect Vietnamese prices in the UK but even for England that's like the price of going to a fancy restaurant for fried spring rolls and bowls of broth with rice noodles and thin cut beef. It was delicious and the way the beef & noodles are separated is thoughtful. I also appreciate this restaurant bringing Vietnamese food to Folkestone, but the pricing is too much. I don't think young people will be able to afford to eat here very often at this pricepoint which is a shame when Pho is such an accessible food for everybody.

The food is absolutely amazing! The presentation was beautiful. Everything tasted great and fresh. I highly recommend Viet Street.

Nice food but pretty overpriced, seems all the budget was blown on fancy takeaway boxes with logos all over them, when instead they could have focused on value for money.

Excellent food and a warm welcome.

Lovely food, but you do not get a lot considering how expensive it is. I cannot justify spending £8.25 on two summer rolls

Good street-style, basic Vietnamese food. Friendly, efficient service. Spotlessly clean Formica type tables. Moderately expensive, but still good value. Very generous portions. Will return.

Really nice food. Friendly. Will be a must when I next visit Folkestone.

Came here with my brother for lunch. Had a lovely starter called Gõi Cuõn. It was so fresh. Followed by Phõy Chay. (Soup consisting of tofu, mushroom and mixed vegetables) Again, very fresh.

Fabulous fresh and fragrant food, every bit as good as it was when travelling around Vietnam. Warm, friendly and quick service and very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit!

Best Vietnamese I had in years. Here. In Folkestone. The service was nice, friendly, funny and trustworthy. I would definetly go back here to order the Pho.

Excellent food and the carry out order was ready when we arrived. Everyone working there was friendly. Highly recommend it.

Lovely fresh Vietnamese food which you can’t get anywhere round here, served by lovely people

One of the most friendly, authentic and quaint places I have ever been too. The food is the best I've ever had and remains hot throughout. Would definitely recommend and I'd also say the best restaurant in folkestone by miles

Great banh mi and a very extensive menu.

Gave us the wrong food & the wrong meal was cold, tried telling us that it’s meant to be cold. Both meals were awful & I couldn’t eat it. One staff said they would take the wrong meal off the bill but only took off £5

I was so excited but unfortunately it is not great, it may be described as Vietnamese Street food but I'd say its more junk food, most definitely not authentic, kinda like when you eat at a bad Chinese. Not good for a dinner venue but possibly OK as a passer by hungry on a lunch time. However, servers were very good.

Really nice food, big portions and the staff are lovely, young waitress was very helpful and bubbly 😊

Owners aren't children friendly!

Service are nice, Food are super excellent, I will go back again.

Amazing food and friendly service, love it! The pho was 10/10

My husband and myself visited here for dinner. We had a fantastic meal of noodles and Banh Mi baguettes. With traditional Vietnamese coffee as well to top it off. This made a wonderful meal for us.

Excellent little restaurant with great food, family atmosphere and friendly staff.
