Was introduced to this restaurant by a friend who spends a fair amount of time hunting for places to eat in East London, and I am in his debt.

We came on a Sunday at lunchtime, when is was packed, but were lucky to get a table right away.

You can tell right away that the money is spent on the food, not the decor in the place - portions were mammoth, and the food was really fresh, and bursting with flavour.

There are over 180 different dishes on the menu, with some a range of Vietnamese 'Pho' noodle soup variants.

Service is friendly, if slightly forgetful, but for but when three of us ate like kings for less than 40 quid, that can be forgiven.

Just like it says on the card- Authentic Vietnamese Food
it is great, fresh and very cheap. Went there twice already and it was amazing experience. The shrimps are delicious! You might have to wait for a table.

The best vietnamese I've had in London... Decore is authentically plastic and tacky, rice paper rolls are fresh and tasty and the pho is tops. Go!

Excellent Vietnamese Food 11th December 2006

Located on Kingsland Road, Londons Vietnamese restaurant mile, Song Que is probably the best Vietnamese in East London.

The Pho (beef noodle soup) are consistently good, as are the grilled pork, spring roll, herb and vermicelli noodle combos. The spicy squid starter is sublime. Generally everything on the menu is around a fiver so you can eat well cheaply.

Downsides, some of the other less Vietnamese more Chinese dishes can be a bit hit or miss. And in true Vietnamese style *some* of the waiters can be somewhat abrupt and forget drinks orders and so on. But on whole this is an excellent place to go for Vietnamese food.

A lively café restaurant – always very busy – There is selection of over 150 dishes, and 28 types of pho’ alone (noodle soups) and you should definitely include one in your meal. At around £5 a dish, you’ll actually spend quite a lot because it’s all so lovely. Highly recommended.
