The Aunty here serves up incredibly tasty food every time. I always gravitate to the spicy beef soup or the tofu option. The dry bun options are excellent also.

I love this Vietnamese takeaway shop! Compared to many Asian takeaway shops in London I’ve ever been, this is the best judging by the amount of money you pay and what you get. It’s Authentic and delicious Vietnamese food. And it’s a small business and the owner is a Vietnamese lady who also cooks the food. She’s always very nice to customers. Solid 5 stars

The bun bo hue just hits the spot. The ginger added gives it a unique fragrance. Sitting in the quiet shop, with the owner cooking away in the kitchen at the back... It was such a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy the noodles.

Best Vietnamese meals Take Away in Elephant Castle. Fresh ingredients with reasonable price. It is a very small shop and getting popular among Asian communities and the locals. Better to visit it when it is not crowded. Cash only policy.

I think there is a lot of good thing to be said about unpretencious scrans like this. It everything was fresh and done with care. Nothing was too spicy or over seasoned. You might well have to wait a while but it was certainly worth it and I feel better for having had it. Enjoy.

As a Vietnamese, I must say I was blown away by this place!!! Yes, the wait can be a bit long since it’s just the owner working by herself, but the food is absolutely worth it. Everything we got (Bun Bo Hue, grilled pork spring rolls and lemongrass shrimp vermicelli). Cash only. There’s a park across the street with tables that you can eat at (but she also has two small tables in the shop). Highly recommended!!!

Amazing, hearty food with a simple, best bang for the buck menu from the sweetest auntie! Also serves the best Bun Bo Hue in London, as authentic as the ones you can eat in Hue!

This is the best Bun Bo Hue in London so far. I got a lot of well-cooked beef with great soup. The grilled-pork rice is also nice. I strongly recommend this place! :)
