London🇬🇧A Hidden Vietnamese Gem – Viet Quan 🍜🌿

If you're craving authentic Vietnamese food in London, look no further than Viet Quan on Old Kent Road! 📍 Nestled near Burgess Park and right by Tesco, this spot offers a relaxing, spacious dining experience that feels like a peaceful escape from the city's chaos. 🧘🌳 Let’s talk food! 🍴 Viet Quan Special Rice The char siu pork was a standout! It came perfectly grilled — juicy and tender with just the right fat-to-meat ratio. Unlike the sweeter Hong Kong-style version, Viet Quan’s take is more savory, balanced with a mild glaze that enhances the pork’s natural flavor. Served over fluffy rice with fresh greens on the side — this dish is both hearty and satisfying. 🍜 Pho Bo Tai Classic and comforting! The broth was clear, fragrant, and packed with subtle beefy depth. The thinly sliced beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rice noodles had a perfect bite. It came with all the right toppings — fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and chili slices. I love how you can customize each spoonful! 🥢 ☕ Vietnamese Iced Coffee I’m not even a big coffee drinker, but this was a pleasant surprise. It had a smooth, milky flavor with just a hint of bitterness, served ice-cold. Creamy and refreshing — it made for the perfect ending. The service was friendly, the ambiance was calm, and everything tasted home-cooked with care. Highly recommend if you're in the area or willing to make the trip.💯 Viet Quan 📍320 Old Kent Rd, London SE1 5UE, United Kingdom #globalcookiecrumbs_london #globalcookiecrumbs_foodie #london #food #unitedkingdom #noodle #coffee #tesco #trip #play #travel
