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.

Friendly service, amazing food that's well prepared and presented. Our waiter explained what the dishes were like (apparently the pho is a family recipe). There's a selection of Vietnamese beers, and the coffee is good too - fairly strong, but the latte we had was smooth. I'd strongly recommend this place for lunch. The menu has been recently expanded again, with some useful additions such as quay (sort of fried bread sticks) to go with the pho (whereas, I'd often order pork spring rolls to perform a similar function), and fusion noodle dishes.

very disappointed !! took my daughter and her mates for drinks celebrating her birthday. On checking receipts for credit card statement and just seen that they add a service charge - for buying drinks at the Bar !! I can understand it if its table service - but not when we're buying and carrying our own drinks. Sneaky - will be going to the many other bars in notts next time. Check your bill if you go here

I wasn’t sure what to expect at House of Pho, but it turned out to be a decent place to eat. So I recommend it. At first I thought it felt a bit big and empty and cafeteria like. But to be fair we were in there at 9pm and they close at 10. It doesn’t have a cosy, romantic or warm feel, but we were in a group of six having a bit of a laugh so it was right for us. A bit of a hiccup with the language barrier initially was soon resolved, and we were tucking into mixed starters in no time. Fantastic chicken satay, ribs etc. Usual fare for our lot in these type of restaurants. The mains were more interesting with some lovely noodles and curry’s etc. I can’t remember the details, but we were all happy enough. In summary, good food, pleasant helpful staff and reasonably priced.

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.

The Food here is excellent, the best Vietnamese restaurant for miles around.

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.
