  Authentic fast food

  Current

  The Viet Anh Cafe is only 200m from Camden Town tube station but located on parkway seemingly away from most of the bustle of the Camden Market crowd. Three of us dined here and we shared starters of Deep Fried Crispy Tofu and Prawn Toast, both £3.50 each. The main courses are "complete" dishes based on protein with rice or soft or crisp noodle accompaniment. I ordered the Beef Pho Soup and the dish arrived in less than 10 minutes. Perhaps 5 minutes. Some of the beef was almost rare, but not quite rare enough on the whole. Still, all main dishes ordered here were under £6 and three of us dined for under £26 with tea as our drink. It was packed, but we didn't feel pressured to leave quickly. For a cheap and cheerful meal in the bustle of Camden, you can't go wrong with the Viet Anh Cafe.

  Fast tasty and friendly

  Current

  Lets face it the food in Camden Market is over priced slop - the stall vendors motto is anything goes, an approach that's backed up with a verbal hard sell straight out of Apocalypse Now. Thankfully the Viet-anh cafe cum restuarant offers a friendly, buzzy haven with food to match. Tables are small. the turnover is fast - expect to get served swiftly. The waitress is cool like martini regardless of the pressure and the food comes fast and fresh. Highly recommended is the mixed seafood and noodle soup. Whipped up in around 5 minutes. The soup base was excellent, the rice noodles, thin but meaty and the whole bowl was topped with a mound of assorted perfectly cooked seafood. Yum. Just what you need on a cold day. Starters were cool too - all the ingedients were fresh and in good combos. At lunchtimes the media crew descend and the place can turn into a total hubbub with a resonant yak-fest. But as a recharge place it's hard to beat when your kness are wobbling and you really need that good food top-up and fast.
