  “YES, YES, YES... for vietnamese food. I can not recommend enough. Fair enough if you see from the streets from afar that the place isn't that big, in which I can affirm that it is not that big (not sure if they have seatings upstairs but it seems like they do). But there were around 4-5 other people in the main area in which make the atmosphere quiet hectic(?), so if you want like a romantic private dining with you loved ones, perhaps not suitable to go to this place. HOWEVER... if you are looking for a place to have a laugh and have a casual atmosphere, just a chill one, this place could be your choice. I believe I had the beef pho ones, can't remember what my partner had, but it was both incredible. It was light but flavourful, the portion is literally HUGE, the size of the pho bowl is the same size of my head. I think what I can remember for the drink menu, it was not that much. But the variation of the menu are so wide ranged and lovely options. The staff is very friendly as well, they would explain the food for you and recommend it what would you like. After reading this, I hope you straight away make your decision based on my review - it is worth the value of your money and the satisfaction for your hungry belly.”

  “I've been here a good few times already, but I just love this place so much that I feel inspired to finally give it a review! This place truly is the best spot for food in Newcastle. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food is just perfect. It's delicious every single time. My boyfriend and I come here usually once a month for the beef pho, and it's surely our favourite thing to do in the city. The staff are really friendly too, truly a wonderful restaurant! I tell everyone about it ☺️”

  “HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!! I absolutely loved this place, we came here for my mums birthday and got some yummy spicy honey wings as a gift from the chef! :) The summer rolls & the crispy spring rolls were both incredible, & the Bun Cha that I had was THE best!!”

  “Visited tonkin during restaurant week. Booked a table for Saturday evening; it was very busy but our booking meant no wait to be seated (despite getting there 10mins early). The staff were very friendly and courteous. The food was lovely (the picture shows beef pho and spring rolls, both part of the restaurant week menu). The toilet is in a weird spot though, downstairs around the corner by the kitchen. For 2 people's starters and mains, plus 2 drinks, it was £36 so not a bad deal imo.”

  “What an amazing place! A homely warming atmosphere, as soon as you walk in the smells of pho and coffee hit you. With extra seating upstairs, their pho portions were generous and absolutely delicious with plenty of condiments for your choosing. Our server was a lovely soft spoken woman who never stopped working and made sure to take her time explaining the Viet drip coffee to us even when she was rushing around. Absolutely recommend for anybody wanting a hot bowl of comforting soup, with generous vegan options.”

  “Just had wonderful meal this afternoon. Food so fresh and tasty, excellent choice, very authentic and staff so pleasant and helpful. The fact that even the juices were freshly squeezed just added to the experience. We had starters of crispy spring rolls, summer garden rolls and tempura prawns all of which were delicious. Mains Hue Hot and spicy and a beef pho bowl and the special pho bowl all having a wonderful flavour, really fresh ingredients the hue being somewhat spicier than the pho. There were condiment jars with delicious pickled garlic and chillies and additional bowl of fresh herbs and bean sprouts - portions are very generous.2 Hanoi beers and a fresh orange and we were very satisfied customers £75 - excellent value. The decor is welcoming as we’re all the staff - a really memorable meal and will definitely be back.”
