5 /5 Claire Chen: Came for lunch with my sister and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
We ordered a few dishes to share between us and they were all great!
Staff were friendly and attentive, and the meal wasnt too expensive for how much we ordered.
5 /5 Chris Harrod: Excellent food, and friendly staff. I would particularly recommend the special pho and crispy pancakes. For me, visiting this restaurant is a regular treat.
4 /5 Yuqi Wang: The only Vietnamese restaurant locally. It is authentic and fairly priced. My comfort food whenever I am not in the mood for grills.
5 /5 Jessica White: Fabulous, authentic and utterly delicious! Had the best lunch today at Vy Nam. We ordered and shared mango salad, summer rolls, chicken pancake, BBQ prawns and Basa fish rice paper pancakes. Everything was so fresh and so utterly tasty. Service was excellent too, relaxed friendly and helpful. 100% recommended this place and looking forward to visiting again already
2 /5 Maria V: Around 7 years ago, I used to come here at least once a month and it was my favourite Vietnamese restaurant. The food was great and the restaurant was full on most days. I remember always needing to reserve a table to avoid disappointment.
Unfortunately, I visited this restaurant again last week and Im saddened to say that I will not be coming back. The place has clearly had a change of management since I last visited. The food tasted bland and not authentic, and their portions are a lot smaller than they used to be. I ordered a selection of my favourite Vietnamese dishes but was very disappointed. The dishes didnt even have the usual herbs and cucumber which I would expect and the spring rolls were almost empty inside. The only herb used was mint, not even any coriander, and the nuoc cham tasted weak and watered down. The vermicelli noodles in my bun cha gio dish were overcooked and hadnt been properly drained so they just tasted mushy and watery.
The food was not inedible and I didnt get sick from eating here but I wouldnt recommend coming here if you want to experience authentic Vietnamese food.
Rasma Begum This cafe was so lovely! The ladies working there were so welcoming and made us feel special. Shoutout to Leila who was so sweet to us and always had a smile on her face!
Food was delicious and affordable!
Benji (Benji) Unbelievably great hospitality and warm atmosphere by staff, especially at night it has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.
The food they serve is traditional english in the morning and traditional chinese in the afternoon evening. Best of both worlds!
J11 We were recommended this venue for breakfast by an outstanding waitress (Izzy) from another restaurant. She assured us it was top notch and it turned out she wasnt playing, at all.
We visited on the last morning of our family getaway and suffice to say, the food was absolutely outstanding. It blew us away.
For food packed with so much quality and flavour the portions were extremely generous,
I had a breakfast burrito and didnt have to eat for the rest of the day..... How!?
The staff were really friendly, the location is a great starting point for visiting the old town and if wed known about this place at the beginning of our trip we agreed that we would have chosen to have breakfast there every day, without question.
10 out of 10. Absolute diamond of a diner.

Amazing food and great atmosphere!
We had a wonderful experience at Cengo Ocakbasi. The food was absolutely delicious — from the main dishes to the appetizers, everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite.
We are visiting from Bielefeld, Germany, and this place truly made our trip even more special. Highly recommended, we would definitely come back again!
Sarasjuntorn Angkinun My husband and I can confidently say that etch. is the best fine dining restaurant we’ve experienced in Brighton so far. We booked the tasting menu with wine pairing, and every course was exceptional. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and full of flavour, while the service was warm, attentive, and truly professional. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish - highly recommend!
