Pho Tuong Restaurant - Queens Head Bar — Restaurant in Bassetlaw

Dined for 2 on a Monday night, understandably quiet, but as a large open room the atmosphere suffered with only two dining couples - I would expect this to improve when busier. My wife is a first time Vietnamese diner, whilst I'm familiar having worked in Hanoi for a while in 2022, - so was really looking forward to having this cuisine on our doorstep. There was a reasonable range of Pho and Bun on offer, Had the pork/prawn & prawn spring rolls with a house dip and these were very tasty indeed. Both of us went for Pho as a main dish, mine Beef and wifes Chicken, we asked for chopsticks as they are not on the table - This provides a much more authentic dining experience and increases the time taken to eat ( a good thing). They were stylish chopsticks from Vietnam the server informed us, however I prefer the plain bamboo/wood, we probably should have asked for the chopsticks first as we ate the rolls with our fingers!

The broth and meat were tasty and authentic, my only criticism is that i would have liked a larger portion of fresh sides as there was one plate between two. It did not compromise the experience.

I also had 2 Heineken at reasonable prices whilst my wife had a soft drink. An alcohol free cocktail offering would improve the choice for the driver, whilst ( and i appreciate this might be more difficult) Hanoi or Saigon Beer for that icing on the cake. But I'm being picky - we had an authentic Vietnamese meal with drinks for a little over £40. Staff were friendly and attentive and our wet brolly was stowed for us. We will be back, soon, and in numbers. Good luck with the venture - an asset to the dining available in Worksop. Highly...

Finally, a touch of East Asia in Worksop! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, adorned with beautiful decorations. The waitstaff are exceptionally polite and attentive to your needs.

We started with pork spring rolls, which came with a delectable, mildly spicy dipping sauce. The filling included refreshingly fresh ingredients like coriander and mint. The garlic butter chicken wings were a highlight – fresh, tender, juicy, and perfectly crispy despite being coated in a delicious tangy sauce. The wings were served with plenty of vegetables and a side of fries.

We thoroughly enjoyed our main courses: the stir-fried udon noodles with duck, and the yellow curry with duck. The duck was perfectly cooked with a flavorful batter that melted in our mouths. A soy-flavored dipping sauce complemented the dish. The yellow curry was rich and flavorful, with hints of coconut and a mild spice. It was so delicious that it could be enjoyed on its own, yet it also paired wonderfully with the rice. Both dishes included plenty of vegetables, making for a well-balanced meal. The prices are very reasonable, offering generous portions without sacrificing quality. Each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients.

Before we left, we ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and a matcha frappe, both meticulously prepared by the restaurant owner. It was a pleasure to meet and chat with Tommy, who had also served some of our dishes.

Overall, we had a lovely evening, were well taken care of, and enjoyed the most delicious food in Worksop. We left very happy and will definitely...
