The best restaurants serving Vietnamese food in East Midlands

We visited Vietcentric as a couple to spend some valuable time together, this proved to be a great choice as we got to learn about Vietnam and its culture, experience cooking traditional food and then have a great chat with other couples whilst we ate our creations. I would highly recommend Vietcentric for couples or groups who want a different dining experience to a “normal” restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic Vietnamese restaurant! The phở here is more flavoursome than many of the 'famous' Vietnamese spots in London—it brought back memories of the cafes in Vietnam. The waitor was incredibly friendly and helpful, making for a very pleasant dining experience. Plus, it's toddler-friendly, which is obviously a bonus for families. Definitely a real gem for Newark and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

Delicious food, excellent coffee, eclectic decor and all around charming. Their menu has changed some but still holds up!

I didn’t get my order and I was stood outside for 10 minutes.

Great night out and food delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely will return another time. Charcoal Grilled pork with salad. House special fried rice and pork belly well worth trying also.

Hands down one of the best Asian eateries in the county. Proper Vietnamese food, peaceful environment in a busy city, great service and really delicious food. I took a bunch of locals there who had never been and converted them all, even the fussy eaters.

Unbelievably bad. If I thought small portions for big prices was bad could imagine how I felt when I took a bite from a salt and spicy spare rib and it started to bleed like a fresh slaughtered pig. If I had have eaten it then food poisoning was a definite. As luck would have it I noticed and left the extremely poor food that had been cooked or should say not cooked . If you wish to live another day without being poisoned then my advice is don’t go to the golden phoenix. Either they can’t cook and don’t care or the energy prices for gas are dangerously shortening their cooking times . Most certainly would not recommend this place.
