Hanoi Pho - (Near Hackney, london)

BronzeLibra03 A pleasant spontaneous find! We enjoyed the beef tacos, chicken and waffles and a good juicy beef burger, we specifically asked to not have a smashed burger and they kindly catered for us! The music is so fun and lively, playing from a record player with a cactus on top! Sylvia was a great host and all the staff were friendly and helpful! Portion sizes were great too!

Mark Monaghan Some dishes were very nice (mainly the bread and leek starters). However, some others, mainly the Denver steak main, were quite disappointing, especially when considering this costs just shy of £50. The dish took about an hour to arrive and was cold when it did (I assume it had been left out and perhaps a waiter had forgotten to take it to us). The waiter did offer to reheat it but this left it quite chewy. Overall it was not enjoyable and certainly did not meet the standard expected for the price. The service was also very slow throughout the remainder of the night and after ordering a single rice pudding dessert to share, this also took an additional 30 minutes to arrive. We spent another 15 minutes waiting for the waiter to bring the card machine after receiving the bill meaning in total we spent about 3 hours in the restaurant which was much longer than we had intended. I appreciate it was New Year’s Eve and so perhaps it was busier than the staff were used to, but again, this falls short of the standard one would expect for a restaurant where we paid around £90 per person on food alone. The atmosphere was pleasant but given the above I would not return nor could I in good conscience recommend it to a friend.

Becky Kember We have visited the Cricketers on many different occasions and have always had quick service and lovely food. We popped in today for some lunch and a few drinks for my partners birthday, food was served quickly (even with me being fussy and removing things from my nachos)! Spoke to two members of staff who were very helpful and friendly

Eve Overton 10/10 experience and lovely service ❤️ The food was so lovely and really flavourful. Especially the okra fries. Definitely will come back when I have the chance ☺️

George H I was recommended this spot by a friend and Ive just had a wonderful lunch here. The burger is DELICIOUS and I couldnt recommend it enough. They offered me some hot sauce with my meal which I later found out was home made by the owner! It was amazing! What a touch! Really lovely staff, quick service and very nice vibe. (p.s. they sell the hot sauce in house...I bought two bottles)

REG Badger Badger seemed like a very nice boardgame cafe, and somewhere Id like to come to again to fully experience. I arrived at around 9pm, the place closes at 11, and boardgames are charged at £8.50 for 3 hours of play. Opting against paying for 3 hours and only using 2, I chose instead to pay cards (free) and drink a couple of pints (not free but understandable). The Guinnesses I had were nice enough, service was friendly and everyone around us seemed to be happy to be playing boardgames in a nice environment on a Tuesday night. They appeared to have a good range here. They also sold boardgames and a range of other similar products in the boardgame area. Food looked quite good here but I didnt have any. The toilets were satisfactory.
