The Hoxton Hound - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

Elisabeth i sat down at mien tay expecting great food and those expectations were still surpassed. me and my dad came in here starving and i havent needed to eat for two days - it is very filling, the portion sizes are of incredible value.. you have been warned! the service was..how to say.. Minimal.... by which i mean very straight to the point, youre here for a delicious meal not for small talk with your waiter. had to call staff over rather than them coming to us but we didnt mind. starters were as good as we had heard, my dish (ginger duck + rice) was wonderful, flavourful, and hearty. it seems there is a lot of love going into this cooking.

Kelly Just popped in for chips and salad and the food was lovely. Chips werent greasy and the salad was lovely and fresh! And the chilli sauce...WOW!! But what impressed me most was the attitudes of the young guys who work there, they were really friendly, helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended you give this place a try...Ill definitely be going back

Mark John Fairlie Lovely family run local cafe. Good food, good value, and a really friendly atmosphere among both staff and customers. Would recommend if youre in the area.

stacy ben Lovely little cafe nestled in the heart of Forest Hill, prime location right on top of Forest Hill train station. Fabulous service, very friendly staff and child friendly too. Food selection is wide, something for everyone. Food was presented well and tasted delicious, pancakes were a big hit. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Thank you lazy chef :-)

Rachel Burrell Absolutely amazing evening. The service was so attentive with a special mention to Aliha and Cecelia. Food was simply outstanding. I had the Lamb, perfectly cooked with the Jollof rice, plantain and sensation oxtail Mac and cheese balls. This food was everything is intended to be. Flavourful, heartwarming and daring combinations of flavours. Drinks were mixed well and served beautifully too. I can’t fault anything and highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back.

Bunmi Hazzan Dont let the broken sign put you off, a lot of times places that are a little bit... Disheveled, can be the best places to go. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and in a pretty cool location.
