Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "Very well decorated. Even the glasses or the bowls are from Vietnam. The tiles are in Indochina style which gives me such a nostalgic feeling."
• "Good environment, sweet service. The table has some detail design as you are sitting on a sewing machine."
• "The décoré is impressive : vintage Singer tables, industrial style ceiling, Vietnamese graffiti, large wooden Buddha statues, viet songs."
• "Came here today and have been once before and the customer service and food is amazing."
• "Loved this place. Canteen style setup with higher benches in the windows, usual tables also."

Authenticity of Cuisine

Pros:

• "Food was quite authentic, and different from your regular Chinese takeaways."
• "All the food is authentic Vietnamese, with a good range of dishes."
• "Absolutely delicious. Ordered the wings and special fried rice and I was blown away."
• "The soup of the noodle was packed with flavour that it didn't need, any additional sauces."
• "Food tastes authentic, the options are great."
• "The food was fresh, flavourful and delicious. Plus the service was truly lovely."
• "Excellent Vietnamese experience. Nice central location, large enough to accommodate on busy days."
• "Food was very delicious and fresh. Brilliant and pleasant staffs."

Cons:

• "I couldn't give 5 stars because taste was not to my personal preference as I am more accustomed to strong Asian flavours and spices."
• "Rude staff, inauthentic food and weak flavours."
• "I liked the place just let down by the food. It's too much beef."
• "The food was nice, and while the menu was a little confusing we all ended up with something we like."
• "Food was so bland. The flavour came from the fact that everything they served was hot."
• "It's very expensive too."
• "The starters are huge, definitely for sharing, would have been useful for the staff to share that with us before we all ordered."
• "However, the overall experience was very disappointing. Apart from being severely overpriced, we waited more than an hour for semi-warm food and more than half the menu was not available."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "The staff were extremely helpful and courteous from the start."
• "The staffs are very attentive and dedicated, they pay attention to customers in a professional manner."
• "All of the staff were kind, patient, and helpful."
• "Really tasty food here, staff were pleasant too."
• "The staff were incredible, they couldn't do enough for us."
• "Lunched at Viet 80's and really enjoyed it. The food was authentic and reasonably priced, but the real stand out element was the service."
• "The staff couldn't have been more helpful."
• "The staff are very friendly and informative: they help you carefully with the menu if you have questions."

Cons:

• "My 1st awful restaurant experience in Uk."
• "Rude staff, inauthentic food and weak flavours."
• "To be honest, the food was really good and one of the staffs was quite friendly and kind. However, the cashier made a mistake in our order TWICE."
• "The food is very overpriced. £15 for a plate of rice."
• "We did call by and complain about extremely small portions, but fell on deaf ears."
• "Doesn't provide free water. They provide one cup of free water if you're drinking alcohol."
• "Rest assured I would not spend a penny of my money and I will be sure to post this review on social media so that others can see how contemptuous the management of this establishment is."
• "Went to try out this so called new Vietnamese restaurant. The food is pathetic, cannot be called Vietnamese food at all."
