vietnam in Swansea

We came back to eat at the restaurant. All the dishes were delicious with Vietnamese flavor. The owner was very funny. Thank you restaurant for giving us a cozy evening and delicious food😘😘

Popped in with my parents a bit late this evening after a concert. They kindly kept the kitchen open and made us very welcome. The Lala chicken and kimchi beef starters were exceptional and the broth in the Vietnamese pork belly dish was extraordinary. Generous portions and Delicious fresh noodles too! A real gem in the heart of uplands with yummy, fresh, authentic Vietnamese food and a warm, stylish atmosphere. Can’t wait to take my foodie friends here!

Ive been here about 5ish times now, and i believe its the most perfect restaurant ever. The atmosphere is amazingly cozy, and there arent too many tables. the view is also nice. I normally get the Pho, and it is consistently delicious. the summer rolls are a great starter too. The staff is all very sweet, and are always welcoming. Everything ive tried here, including drinks, is always the highest quality.

Great food, friendly service and loved the decor.

Nice atmosphere and service. Food wasnt very flavoursome, lacked a wow factor

Absolutely incredible pho and amazing belly pork.

Lovely, caring staff who are invested and care about the restaurant - definitely comes through in the food! The pho in particular is delicious and warming, can’t recommend enough!!

Wonderful germ in Uplands, exceptional service and food. One of my favourite restaurants in Swansea. I especially like their stir-fried dishes. And the ladies serving are so friendly and attentive. And a meal (starter and main) for less than £25. Highly recommended and even worth a detour when you are staying in central Swansae.

Great atmosphere but was very busy and if there is a big group of you then expect a wait. I ordered the Green curry which tasted great but was rather spicy. Well worth a visit.

Something about this place that ticks every box. Quite probably the best restaurant I’ve done this year. Mega

Best food in Town! Great lovely people works in here🥰😍👌👌

Decent food, good portions. Not the most flavorful and the starter only came with one prawn, bit odd. But can’t complain for Vietnamese food in the middle of wales I guess 👍🏼 service was great

The food here was lovely, had a mixture of meat, prawn and vegetable dishes. All food fresh and full of flavour. Such a nice atmosphere in the restaurant, relaxed and cosy. The owner made us feel so welcome and helped us decide on what to order. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Came back from Vietnam a month ago and the food was equally as good, if not better here at Good Morning Vietnam !! The owner also took her time to come and chat at the end of the meal and was very kind and friendly. Will definitely be coming back and would 100% recommend.

I have been coming to Vietnam/Good Morning Vietnam for 20 years. They have updated the restaurant and the decor is cool with a laid-back vibe. The food is consistently great, flavours are amazing, from the Duck Pancakes to the Summer Roll Appetizers to the Noodle Mains and the Special Fried Rice. Sevice is consistent and gracious and engaging. Prices are great and a place to entertain out of town guests. Additionally, if you're lucky enough the owner will serve you. If you go to Swansea particularly Uplands, make sure you stop in for great food, atmosphere and service!!!

Good food, friendly staff, quick service and a fab spot!

They were busy so expected to wait a bit longer to be served - was soooo worth the wait! We had the sexy duck which really was as good as it sounds. And a very decent bottle of red to go with it. No doubt we will be back soon.

Completely satisfied in many way. food was so fresh and real good prepared. Love mango salad, Roasted duck .. all kind southern Asian food , All staffs was so friendly and working hard for all customers smile. definitely 5 stars for this small restaurant

The customer service is the best I’ve ever experienced the food is even better I’ve never experienced something so good the sechuan chicken is the main meal for me personally the crack fries are honestly the best snack on planet earth and I back this with my whole life.

4½ stars (can't put half stars here sadly)! This is based over two visits - the first of which was a real 5 star experience and the second a bit less so. Firstly the food is delicious - easy 5/5 on that front - some of the tastiest Asian food in Swansea and the crack fries are absolutely incredible! I'd also recommend the salt and pepper tofu, which is equally lush! We ordered several different meals and picked at other plates throughout the meal, meaning we got to sample a little bit of multiple menu options and they were ALL delicious! Service is unfortunately where I found Vietnam a bit lacking on my second visit - the person serving our table very rarely checked on us, and our service was slow and pretty unorganized. One meal I had ordered I was told wasn't available at the point of service, not when ordering, which meant I then had to wait until everyone else had finished their mains to receive my replacement meal. However, a shout-out has to go to the owner of the restaurant who took over towards the end and was absolutely incredible! ☺️ Overall, definitely worth a visit as the food alone makes your time there worthwhile! 😋

Great place, good atmosphere. Very good meal. I recommend it for French people who pass by there. :))

Very bad service! Not friendly! And very expensive

Always an enjoyable experience. Very welcoming. Staff very pleasant. Food of a very high quality. The best chicken fried rice that I have tasted. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely place...food was delicious. The waitress couldn't have been more helpful and virtually chose the dishes for me and my daughter.

Absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere is lovely as are the staff, highly recommend ❤️

We had an lovely night, the food was great, atmosphere was lively, and the service couldn’t have been nicer. Although it was clearly a busy night and they had new staff, all service was above and beyond with complementary food and drink. A great night with great food, I would recommend to anyone :)

What a fabulous place , the food , the staff and the ambiance was amazing .. thanks guys we will be back and Dawn and her team were fantastic !

Absolutely delicious food for lunch, myself and some work colleagues ordered food for take away and it did not disappoint. we ordered the Bang Bang Chicken which was fiery but not too spicy and bursting with flavour, the Braised Beef which absolutely melted in our mouths (the best I've tasted in a long while) and finally the Lemongrass Chicken which tasted so so fresh and the sauce so fragrant. The service i received inside the restaurant was second to non and had a great conversation with the lovely owner (Dawn) who was happy to suggest and explain dishes of the menu. I would definitely recommend Vietnam and will be definitely ordering very soon in the near future. So Vietnam Swansea its a MASSIVE thumbs up from me :)

This place was a recommendation from a friend and I've got to say, it was absolutely the best Asian food I've tested so far. From the delicious, fresh and flavoursome beef summer roll, or prawns tempura, to the lemongrass chicken, that we had with some boiled rice, we were definitely not disappointed. The waitress gave us plenty of time to chose while advising us. She was very lovely and professional. I could have easily stayed for dinner as the place was so welcoming and there were plenty more dishes I want to test. I'll definitely be back as a regular. Thank you

A special restaurant, authentic Vietnamese cuisine and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again. The food was delicious.

Outstanding food, seriously good! My Kimchi Beef starter were delicious! Great service and friendly, attentive staff (without being intrusive). Cool and vibrant atmosphere. Recently fully refurbished and it's really nice. A few nods to the Robin Williams movie dotted about too, but tastefully done and not over the top. We called earlier that same day for an 8pm table and it was nicely busy. Booking ahead is highly recommended!

A superb lunch time treat. This was our first visit to the Vietnam and we were not disappointed from the moment we sat down. We were greeted with a friendly warm welcome and contagious smile. Any questions we had about the menu were explained in detail and we weren't disappointed with our choices. We had the Vietnamese fresh summer rolls and prawn tempura which were outstanding and for main we had Vietnamese braised beef and Sichuan spicy chicken which were full of flavour. The ambience was relaxing on such a beautiful day with the open doors. We are already discussing our next visit and meal choices. Thank you again for a lunch time treat and see you soon. Our overall experience at the Vietnam is an easy 10/10.

Amazing meal. Best veggie food i've had for a long time but meat dishes looked great too. Would recommend to all.

Wonderful food and great service. Can’t wait to come back and try it again. The staff are friendly and helpful. I love Pho and spring roll there. Beautiful decor and good location too.

The restaurant boasts a fantastic decor and atmosphere, with excellent service and delicious dishes overall. However, the pho was extremely disappointing and undoubtedly the worst I have ever had. Priced at £14, it consisted only of bland broth, rice noodles, a few bean sprouts, and very dry chicken breast, leaving me feeling utterly cheated！This place used to serve great pho, but it has progressively gotten worse, increasingly cutting corners. If you visit, I strongly advise against ordering the pho, as it might make you feel like a fool.

hands down the best vietnamese food i've had in my life

Fantastic restaurant. Food is delicious. Staff attentive even though it was busy. Highly recommend.

Such a cosy place and great food!

1️⃣ Fab Phõ! Lovely Spring Rolls! Delicious Vietnamese Ice Coffee! The only thing I didn't like was The Most Messy Menu I've ever seen ;D §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ 2️⃣ Second visit after 3 years! Fresh look make very positive impression 😍 Stylish, with lots of Vietnamese 🇻🇳 details here & there. Just pity that musical setting is not efficient enough to add some more of South East Asian vibes 🪷 But not only ambience of interiors changed. Menu has go through some sort of revolution as well! I was the one who complained the most about chaotic character of the previous card and now looks like everything had a lot of cuts offs! We took some Vietnamese Beef Summer Spring Rolls with lemon grass and some sweet-sout sauce and these been simply heaven in our mouths 😋😋 Vietnamese Pork Belly which we thought it's gonna be normal gluey spice dish but apparently arrived as... soup/goulash/bullion with decent amount of meat. Lucky we went with - amazingly friendly & professional - waitress advice to take a portion of rice because none of sides hasn't been included ➖☹️ and the size of dish portions were pretty small tbh comparing to the past and prices of those. I went with yummy Vietnamese Beef Stir Fry . Again! - size wasn't impressive, unfortunately. Good that we had a starter before! Generally speaking with cutting down the Menu, they go with a 'shrinking' trend & rising up the sum you gonna be charged for that. Not nice. Overall very positive experience but preferred old style food with new interiors - that could be a perfect combo! 🥰

Popped into the restaurant to try their salt & pepper squid and Vietnamese rare beef rice noodle soup after a long journey. I knew they are not authentic Vietnamese food after i read their menu. We were let down by the food, a very small portion of squid cost £7.50 & £13.50 for a msg base soup instead of beef bone soup. Luckily we did not order much in the beginning as I doubted if the food was good. First time and won’t come back again.

I love Vietnamese food and a visit to this restaurant did not disappoint me. I ordered half a duck and vegetable and special pancakes with delicious soya sauce. It was Portion for two but i couldn't leave a bite because of how good it was. Very nice owner who likes to talk to guests.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Say no more. Will return.

Lovely atmosphere and great service, would highly recommend (can also order food from Noah’s yard next door!). Food was great and served in a timely manner

This was a good find for me and my wife, flavor was great portions was big

The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with nostalgic decorations and the staff were very friendly. What made the experience even more interesting was when the owner came to our table to ask if we enjoyed the food. Before coming to the restaurant, I had read about her inspiring life story. For starters, we ordered Vietnamese spring rolls which were delicious. For the main course, we had the Vietnamese Braised Beef and fried noodles which were also tasty, but the Kung Pao chicken was too spicy for my liking.

We decided to visit vietnames restourant with a family and we,really like the food, the athmospher especially the hospitality of the owner is outstanding . I really love to come back again and again .

What a fabulous restaurant! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their dishes. All food is made to order, which is why service may be somewhat slow on occasion, but honestly the food is so worth the wait! I highly recommend the Sichuan chicken! The restaurant is also beautifully decorated and in a lovely location! I really recommend this establishment if you’re a fan of Asian cuisine.

This has gone through changes over the years but the refurbishment and menu change has made it even better. Fantastic food, excellent service. The spicy food is properly spicy, the hot and sour soup will make you sweat. Good range of vegetarian and vegan options

Super slow service. Didn’t taste Vietnamese at all (other than the summer rolls) All food was heavily cooked in oil, which is generally the opposite of how it is usually cooked. Veggie soup cooked with meat broth, so be careful So disappointed as we travelled over half an hr to get to the restaurant

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. I had house starter and stir fry with lemongrass for main. So many flavours in the stir fry, strongly recommend

The restaurant is nicely decorated. However I will not go again. I went with my partner and ordered two pho- dont know why they dont write ‘pho’ but used a very lenghty name ‘authentic vietnamness rice noodle soup’, and one roasted coffee under their hot drinks session (see menu as attached). Lets talk about the pho first as it is easier. The stock is so thin and not ‘authentic’ at all I’d say. It is like water adding a bit of shop-buy stock. Anyway.. it doesnt taste bad.. but one would expect something much better in a viet restaurant. I was very sure that I ordered One coffee because I literally said ‘one’. End up they came with two cold roasted coffee. The waitress said that we did order two (!!?) and roasted coffee is meant to be cold. I show her the menu and she said the menu has mistake. She did offer to change to hot but I can sense her unwillingness so I didnt. Especially she thought it was my mistake. I dont think they are honest and the food is not good enough for me to go back. I dont recommend.

Visited here the other day with friends and really enjoyed the food! The duck pancakes were so tasty and so were the udon noodles. The waitress was very polite and attentive and the decor inside was so nice. Would definitely recommend!

Came here with friends and was pleasantly surprised with how tasty the food was. I had the bang bang chicken and it was delicious, also loved the summer rolls and the crack fries. The boy that served us was very polite and was helpful with recommendations on the menu. Would definitely come back again to try more stuff on the menu!!!!

Really tasty food, warm welcome and service

Slow service, sat for 15 minutes before offering us a drink or taking our order. Food was great for some dishes, average and awful. I wouldn’t go back.

Firstly, sort the menu out. The online menu and the in house menu are completely different. Chicken skewers were described online as satay and this was confirmed by the server. They were not. Very disappointing. Bang bang chicken. Not sure what’s bang bang about it. Described as chicken in a coconut sauce. Arrived as a bushtucker trial giraffe tongue looking collection of meats in a sticky broth. However, the meat had a nice taste, just had to push the bowl away due to the stench of the broth. Clearly didn’t enjoy the food due to what was left on the plate but the server said nothing, didn’t even ask if we wanted to take anything home.

Delicious food and great service! Highly recommended!

The Vietnam has recently reopened after a MASSIVE refurb however, the food is as good if not better than ever! Amazing atmosphere… delicious food and a very warm welcome! Dawn, the owner, could not be more welcoming and friendly and will talk you through the menu if you’re unsure… go there.. you will not be disappointed!

I’m Vietnamese, and I’ve been trying to find a Vietnamese restaurant to eat at. Then I found the Vietnam restaurant. I had a bowl of Pho Bo, and it was decent, not anything too special. If you want to taste an actual Vietnamese cuisine, this isn’t the place. But if you want to tryout the cuisine, it’s not a bad place to start.

Half decent. Kimchi beef starter was banging. Pho is called authentic Vietnamese soup, why not just call it pho? Broth was thin, not much aromatics or garnish and thin rice noodles like in paper rolls which not a fan of. Rice paper rolls served with hoisin? Where’s the Nouc Cham fam. Not exactly what I’m looking for tbh

Visited this restaurant with my family. It was excellent in every way, fresh authentic food, friendly staff, cosy warm atmosphere with lovely lighting, look forward to eating here again

Me and my boyfriend have been meaning to try this place for a while and it didn't disappoint! Gorgeous duck and the meat spring rolls are a MUST TRY! Lovely staff, one girl who was new to the job was amazing and really took care of us!

The restaurant was packed and buzzing. We were lucky to get a table so I would advise booking. The food was amazing and the portions generous - to the point we had to take some home. The staff were brilliant and the Owner should be proud of her team and her restaurant. We will do finitely be back!!

decided to try the Vietnam restaurant in the uplands today. I'm not familiar with Vietnamese food so thought I'd randomly choose some items. I chose kimchi beef lettuce rolls and crack fries, both are starters but are enough for a main. The beef, kimchi, beansprouts were amazing, the complexity of taste and texture was lovely. The crack fries were perfect, they had a beautiful heat and spice to them and were a perfect accompaniment to the kimchi beef rolls. The young man who served me was very polite and attentive and saw to my needs . The decor, omg, everything here is bespoke, gorgeous murals on the walls, amazing lights and atmosphere. I have to say that I'll most definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended.

Visited as a group of 5 for dinner. The decor is lovely and staff are very friendly. The food was excellent- we were all very impressed with our meals. Food and drinks were served really quickly. Can’t wait to visit again!

My partner and I waited a year for our favourite restaurant in Swansea to re-open and we were not disappointed. The food is always consistently fresh, delicious and healthy. Our visit following the re-do was perfect. It’s the most authentic and fresh Vietnamese restaurant. The owner is always so lovely and friendly, always coming out to talk to us. It makes the place welcoming and inviting. We love the remodel, beautiful decor. You can tell she takes pride in her work. Would recommend a visit if you’re looking for good food and a homely place to eat. Our favourites on the menu: mango salad, summer rolls and Pho

Absolutely delightful, home cooked and healthy food. A little gem in swansea from start to finish and even more enticing setting since the refurbishment. Try the mango salad!

Possibly the best meal we have had for years. The staff are helpful and friendly even though the restaurant was very busy and the host Dawn (Dao) is a delight! She is very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients which was essential due to food allergies. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you.

went for diner here last weekend, the restaurant looks lovely and the duck was cooked to perfection. will definitely be back again!

Great food - great service, can’t wait to visit again! We had fresh spring rolls, gyoza and salt and pepper squid to start. Then the must try braised beef and chicken stir fry - all freshly cooked and delicious. Really great decor and staff really helpful!

Really great food! Traditional Vietnamese , really tasty! Service was excellent - we will be back!

Amazing atmosphere, fast service and delicious food. I am very impressed. The staff work so hard and they are very nice. Will be back again.

Our evening at Vietnam Restaurant was magic. The atmosphere and decor is completely unique and all of the dishes we ordered were quite delicious. Along with the service being superb, I would higly reccomend this place.

Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in Wales at the moment and we have tried most of them over the years. Food was excellent, I had chicken gyoza, spring rolls and crispy duck. Every dish was beautifully served and taste was so fresh and delicious. Definitely freshly cooked food! The interior in this restaurant is unique. We was very pleased with the wine list and selection of beers.The service was all that we could ask for. Waiters was all the time around and were very friendly and polite. We will be definitely back there soon!

The food was really Amazing and everyone was super friendly, 100% be back soon to try other dishes ,

We visited Vietnam this week. The restaurant was half full and a bit cold inside, with a few diners eating whilst still wearing their coats. No problem at this stage, since it wasn’t that cold really. The drinks took over 30 minutes to arrive and...

Make over not worked, service was worse than a 1 star, food substandard, tables crammed in meaning a member of my table had to move everytime someone wanted toilet or food being delivered. Refunded 1 main meal as it arrived after we all finished, starter was a mess, 2 soups delivered to 1 person, also refunded.

Tragic The waiting staff get a 5* for not walking out they were lovely apparently one of them didn’t even work there and was just visiting her pal. It’s not many times I’ve left restaurant hungry because of poor service. It took 35mins to get our drinks after ordering, after 80mins one main course turned up followed by two starters 10mins later. We had to find our own cutlery and napkins. At 95mins we gave up and went to the kebab house. Until they sort their Shi*t out avoid like the plague, there were at least five tables around us complaining about service, food, bills etc. A failure on every level which was a shame as they one meal that arrived tasted ok.

Terrible, the waiting staff get a 5* for not walking out they were lovely apparently one of them didn’t even work there and was just visiting her pal. It’s not many times I’ve left restaurant hungry because of poor service. It took 35mins to get...

Excellent fresh food, beautifully cooked. The price of the food is really reasonable. Great ambience and service. I'll definitely be going back!

Beautifully refitted, and the staff are so attentive and lovely! Food is amazing too.

Best restaurant in the Uplands. Waited along time for the restaurant to reopen and definitely worth the wait. Food was fantastic and service great .Dawn the restaurant is like you Amazing

Oh wow Dawn you’ve transformed the restaurant whilst retaining the charm and the food we had last night was absolutely DELICIOUS! Definitely worth the wait… we missed you and the restaurant and of course the fabulous food SO much! Top venue in Swansea…. A real...

Don’t look like much but it’s a good meal out..

If you love Pho and live in Sth West Wales you actually have no alternative. Fortunately, the Pho Bo is excellent - as are all the other dishes - and the service both friendly and efficient. Decore is plain and simple, but that's definitely not a complaint. Indeed, my only complaint is that the Vietnam Restaurant in Uplands, Swansea is an hour and a half drive from where I live!

The Vietnam(ese) restaurant is a go-to eat. The food is fresh and the service is great. Highly recommended the salt n chilli tofu- even if you're not a meat eater!

This was my first time visiting & it did not disappoint! I’ve heard such good things about this place & had to visit! The staff here were amazing & so welcoming. The food was served hot & fresh, everything was cooked to perfection. Would highly...

Great food with really nice staff

Amazing and understated restaurant. Went there for lunch with a friend the day after a Paul Weller concert. We were greeted by Mike (?) who was welcoming and friendly (without being intrusive) throughout. We ate some deliciously fresh tasting prawn summer rolls after which I...

Great food with a couple of pints from next door

Very quiet at lunchtime so easy to get a table. Wide interesting menu with freshly cooked food. Warm welcome but decor a tad tired but a revamp is underway. Inexpensive and worth a visit

Kind enough to served us after they had closed and the food was top quality will definitely be back 😊

Excellent food! Summer rolls were delicious and fresh, crispy noodles with black bean sauce were amazing, and the beef with vermicelli noodles was so flavourful. The owner was super friendly and helpful! Had such a lovely time and will definitely come back when in the area again 😃

Absolutely stunning freshly cooked food, really lovely and friendly service. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to come here again!

Nice food. Terrible service. Waited a long time and when we finally got our order it was wrong. Asked for a refund because we didn't want to wait any longer and was told 'no,we just have to wait '. Very poor customer service,which is a shame because the food is good.

Unexpectedly amazing! Don’t know why I haven’t been here before. Outstanding food, freshly cooked, very large portions and excellent value for money. Highly recommend

Fantastic food, excellent service. Highly recommended. Will be back again

Our 2nd visit and it was even better than last time. It's under new ownership and Dao the new chef and owner has improved the quality of the food and is a wonderful host. Great value too.
