The best restaurants serving Vietnamese food in Portsmouth South East

Having been to Vietnam over the summer, we have been trying to find somewhere with authentic food and this place did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious and my personal favorite was the green papaya salad which instantly transported me back. We did have some issues, hence the 4*. Service was slow, with starters being sat finished in front of us for almost 15 minutes (bearing in mind there were only two other tables there and one waitress was seen sat on her phone scrolling). We waited 15 minutes for our banh mi to come out and mine was served with the bottom burnt - cue a further wait for another to be served. We did appreciate the staff apologising for the wait. I'm sure we were just unfortunate based on the amazing reviews we saw prior to booking, we'd definitely still try this place again!

Spontaneously decided to pop in for a visit as we were craving something hot after a windy time by the pier. Ended up being an enjoyable lunch - fabulous service by the lady from HK and the food was delicious and authentic. Excellent value for money and generous portions - please open a branch in Bristol! Highly recommend the grilled pork bun cha, tender beef pho, Vietnamese spring rolls and banh cuon.
