“Lovely small Vietnamese restaurant with big portions and friendly staff. We treated ourselves to a Pho each (1 Beef, 1 Special) and shared a Pork skewers Banh Mi. The broth was delicious, the meat tender and everything was tasty we couldn't stop eating”

“Recommended by a Vietnamese friend, and I’m so glad I visited! What a lovely cafe with authentic flavours. The soups are rich and aromatic - I highly recommend trying either the classic beef noodle soup or the spicy beef and pork soup. The summer rolls are also delicious, with a refreshing hint of fresh mint that really stands out. Despite the drinks may be a little bit disappointing, defo worth a visit!”

“Rather good traditional Vietnamese cafe opposite the Wing Yip on Oldham road. The friendly but firm Quen ensures reasonably efficient service for the many regular diners. …”
