Nón express - Vietnamese restaurant — Restaurant in London

I must tell everyone not to be duped by the high rating, because I have been conned into this place myself. As I sat, I quickly notice the sticker "Free drink for a 5 stars rating" which already was suspicious. That wasn't the only shady method from the restaurant, as it also had a board saying 10% off for cash payment. Anyways, started to feel uneasy about the actual quality of the food, when the first dish came in: Summer Roll. I can honestly say it was the worst summer roll I had in my whole life, and that is the one dish I always take in any Vietnamese restaurant. It was 1 small shrimp cut in half and put on each site, and the 99% of the rest was filled in with shredded lettuce... no vermicelli?! Coming with the only available sauce: Fish sauce... The main dish was OK, but whole experience...

This is a tiny cafe style restaurant which possibly caters more to delivery orders than eat-ins. We booked a table due to its high rating plus we wanted to try Asian cuisine in the area. The pho served was good & to our expectation. The chicken dish, however, was more quantity to quality we were looking for. All in all, we feel the amount of meat & fresh ingredients have exceeded our expectations. With its relatively modest prices, no wonder the restaurant has commanded such high rating. But the chicken dish was a little disappointing in terms of taste & authenticity, possibly served to appease the local market. Service was also a bit lacking & definitely nothing to speak of in terms of atmosphere. But having said all that, it’s a great little place to have a quick bowl of pho &...

Update: I changed the five star rating when I first came to this restaurant six months ago. Since then, I’ve been going to this place every week sometimes twice a week, all amazing food. I’ve definitely had more than 15 data points maybe 20.

However, today when we came the portion has literally been reduced to half and the quality of the meat was awful. We ordered the ribeye pho and there was only a couple slices in total. The deluxe pho had only two small scraps of chicken and the broth didn’t taste the same at all. I hope the management resolves this issue. You can raise the price but don’t compromise on portion and quality!

Original rating: Super tasty...
