Van Hing

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants with very affordable prices. I was truly amazed by the taste of the pho soup when I first came. It was sophisticated with different herbal aromas but humbly, not too strong, providing a harmonised aroma backdrop for the delightfully sweet and savoury soup. I have been thinking about replicating that soup after I went back home. I came back again today to retry the pho. However, this time, the taste of the soup is rather plain, and the turmeric is a bit too strong that stands out. It got me thinking the cooking is to some degree inconsistent, and that's a shame. However, even for a normal Vietnamese restaurant, factoring in the low price tag and large and generous portions, the value itself still earns it a 5. The caramelised pork is also one of the best I have had in London so far.

I had a lovely meal here we weren't sure where to eat and we chose this on a whim and was really happy with our selection The food was really nice, I had the mixed meat noodles, with lemon chicken and Szechuan chicken everything was perfectly cooked, the lemon chicken in particular was fantastic The drinks were really cheap too which is always a pleasant surprise. Service was warm and friendly. We will be back! It is cash only there is a sign but we missed it, there is a cashpoint to the left out of the door a minute down the road by the bustop so no drama

The interior is old school and outdated but the food is more than good enough to keep us coming back. They specialise in Vietnamese food and also do typical Chinese takeaway food too - both tasty. We always order the crispy Vietnamese spring rolls which are so moreish and lots of steamed rice rolls filled with pork which are like Vietnamese cheung fun. Food is always good whether you eat in or takeaway (they don’t deliver), and whilst we don’t live down the road, we are more than happy to drive to pickup this yummy food.

Van Hing doesn't look like much from the outside but peer through the steamed up window and you will notice it is always full of happy locals. This is an excellent value Vietnamese owned restaurant that does fantastic fresh pho and other vietnamese dishes plus the full range of chinese take-away standards. The portions are huge and the prices are low. The services is speedy. Highly recommended.
