Viet

I didn't even know Viet existed and randomly tried it out when we were in Soho one day. The food is utterly beautiful, another hidden gem! They have deep yet delicate flavours in their aromatic soup base and also do the tangy, sweet and chilli flavours that also exist in Vietnamese cuisine well.

When I first went, there were 8 of us so we tried most of the things on the menu. I would strongly recommend the warm beef salad. It was heavenly :D. Their Banh Xeo is superb aswell. They managed to get the pancake so thin and crisp whilst still managing to hold together.

For mains, we all had a bowl of pho noodle soup. I had the spicy beef and pork one - plenty of flavours coming through the soup and a good portion size. I tried some of Lisa's chicken one and the meat is melt in your mouth tender, it just put a smile on my face!

The prices are really low here and I would actually be willing to pay twice as much for the food, it's that good! We shared 6/7 starters and with a main each, it only came to a tenner each which is fantastic value for money. It's quite a small place so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table.
