Verdict

3/5: Good enough

• Would seek it out: Yes
• Would go back: Yes
• Standout dish(es): Pho
• Decor: Moody purple neon and plastic ivy, drowned out by the art crowding the walls
• Service: Quick and friendly
• Other thoughts: The pho was enticingly fragrant, with each toppings +£3 each (most people tend to order 2-3). Skip the Gỏi cuốn — the Chả giò is far better. Curries included rice in the price. Apparently the durian tempura ice cream was authentic (I don’t like durian, so can’t say personally). Management also owns the coffee shop next door.
