    Quirky, small restaurant under the arches. Fun atmosphere - mass of framed pictures on one wall and mural painted on another. Staff friendly and sincere in desire for you to enjoy your meal. Rau mui Riot cocktail was spicy and delicious. Raw beef starter was the highlight-pickled in lime juice with crunchy veg it was really tasty. Duck summer rolls delicate but vibrant fresh herb taste. Pad thai and tofu aubergine clay pot seemed disappointing at first as not punchy flavours, but I progressively appreciated their crisp freshness and decided they were both very good by the end. Good value for central London.

    A wonderful homely restaurant in the midst of the West End. So convenient for pre theatre/ opera etc. Service is prompt, food is warm and tasty. Even in the afternoon, it's great for a late lunch or early dinner, an oasis of calm. It gets very busy in the hours before shows so book ahead for 6-8pm slots.

    My first experience of Vietnamese food and it was delicious! Very fresh, loved the herbs and the papaya salad. Enjoyed the “pancake” and delicious black rice dessert. The service was great! Everyone was so cheery and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a good time. Great little location under the arches too, we will be back!

    Very nice food. Reasonably priced. It's quite a small place and when it's packed it's packed but friendly waitress. Would come again

    Good value meal. Good sized portions. However, the salad was £10. Very pricey for what was given. Would recommend though as a good amount of food. However, choose wisely, otherwise this can be moderately expensive even by London prices.
