4 /5 Tetiana Smith: I recently visited Viet Mart and had a satisfying meal. I ordered the Pho, which came in a large portion with a variety of meats for £12.50. The soup was flavorful, but I noticed that they do not provide hoisin sauce, which is typically served alongside sriracha in Vietnamese restaurants to enhance the flavor. Additionally, they serve lemon instead of lime, which slightly simplifies the taste—lime would make the pho much better.
I also ordered the Summer Rolls, and for just £6, I got two large rolls, which is a great deal. The rolls were fresh and well-made, making them a good value for the price. The hot oolong tea was around £3, bringing the total cost to about £21 per person, which is quite reasonable for a meal of this size.
While the portion was generous, the well done meat in the pho tasted slightly over cooked (I ordered rare and well done). The texture and flavor were not as vibrant as expected.
The service was pleasant and efficient, and overall, the experience was good. The only downside was that they serve tea in paper cups, which feels a bit less traditional.
The cold Vietnamese coffee was very delicious. It tastes exactly I was expecting. Very refreshing.
Despite these small details, I will definitely return, as this is the closest Vietnamese restaurant to my home. The portions are large, the prices are fair, and the service is nice. If they improve the taste of the well done meat and offer hoisin sauce with lime instead of lemon, this place would be even better!
