“A hidden gem for Vietnamese comfort food in Central London🥰⭐️🥢! The Tonkin Meat Lover Special is packed with flavour, featuring juicy grilled chicken and bbq pork, while the Tofu Aubergine is equally delicious and full of rich savoury goodness. I love that you can pair your meal with rice, rice noodles, or a bánh mì 🍚🥖. Their homemade crispy spring rolls are also worth trying, with both vegan and pork options available, perfectly golden and crunchy✨. The milk teas and fruit teas are incredibly refreshing 🧋🥭, and the new Vietnamese coffee is a must-try☕️. Cozy atmosphere, generous portions, friendly service, and great value for money👍🏻🍽️.”

“Bubble tea is the bomb! And they can make all of the vegan so that’s a plus! I had the vegan summer rolls which were crispy, fresh and the sauce was yummy. I’m coming back here as my new spot whenever I’m passing through chancery lane/farringdon. Big up to the owners who are kind and accommodating”

“It's a good cosy spot, we had lunch here and the food was nice. We had the honey pork with noodles and special meat with rice, the sauce had so much flavour when eaten together. The only downside is there were no washrooms sadly so go …”

“A solid Vietnamese spot in the area. The design is modern and cute. I really recommend the Thai milk tea—personally prefer it at 50% sugar or less. The spring rolls were fresh and tasty. I also tried the red curry chicken rice, which was flavorful and satisfying. I had the meat lover’s bánh mì too—the meat and sauce were really well done. Overall, a nice place with good food ❤️❤️❤️”
