Really helpful and informative staff, she was quite passionate about what she was selling. What seemed like a large portion to me, she clarified that I would still feel really light after I finished it because Vietnamese food is naturally gluten free. After finishing my huge delicious pulled pork coconut curry, I definitely do feel light!
We had dinner here tonight. A lovely restaurant, wonderful decor and ambiance. The service was initially a little slow but got better and always friendly. The food was good just a little overpriced in my opinion. It’s quite spicy, but very fresh and according to them organic – I believe it. I would recommend this restaurant for a lovely if slightly expensive evening out.
This is probably the fanciest Vietnamese restaurant I’ve been to. Although the authentic flavors of the Vietnamese food is still there, just improvised and with a twist. I had to try the LVT iced coffee and it was a treat. I was expecting the typical Vietnamese black coffee with condensed milk but it was different and it was nicer than I expected. It wasn’t as sweet as the usual Vietnamese iced coffee and it consisted of coconut shreds and some tiny specks of coffee beans. I loved it! For the entree I ordered the specials which is quail bedded with sticky rice, crispy fried onions, crumbed aubergine and pineapple. This dish was perfect! The fusion of the crispy qual leg and fried onions worked so well with the soft sticky rice, aubergine and pineapple. Also the fresh herbs and the pineapple added freshness to the dish. Lastly for my main I had to order the Pho – the famous Vietnamese beef noodle soup. Although it is a little more pricey than other Pho I’ve bought before, they are not stingy with beef and fillings which makes it worth it. The broth was authentic and it was just right. I walked away feeling happy and satisfied.
The Little Viet Kitchen serves traditional Vietnamese noodle, pancake and soup dishes; hidden away in Islington. This Vietnamese restaurant is a real gem and soared in popularity over social media so I had to check it out. On a cold Wednesday evening, I met up with Aftab from Fresh and Fearless to try The LVKs menu and we were sure excited to document our visit. Unbeknown to us; the owner of The LVK restaurant was serving and we had the pleasure to meet her in person and to experience the food first hand through Thuy. She told us a cute story how the trinkets, chandeliers and ornaments around the restaurant were recycled from her Wedding and that the beautiful wallpaper was all done up by her and her husband. With little money to open up a restaurant; you just gotta DIY and she has done an amazing job because it feels very warm and welcoming.Drinks: We tried every Vietnamese coffee they could offer and my favourite by far was off-the-menu Vietnamese Coffee/Espresso Martini. I have noticed that this is now on the menu which I am sooo glad to see 🙂 it was a life changing martini for any espressotini lovers.Starters: There were so many deliciously sounding starters to choose from so Aftab and I decided to order a few and share between us. They had some special of the day options and went for the Prawn scotch eggs with a twist. Served on a bed of salad; this was the best scotch egg I have ever had. Warm and crispy, the yolk was perfectly runnyI wish I had another! Its not on the current menu but be sure to check the their specials. Aftab ordered the beef wrapped in peailla leaf; the minced beef is organic, lightly fried served on a bed of Vietnamese salad. It was really tasty; but my scotch eggs were so amazing it took the limelight for starters.First Main: Thuy recommended the Banh Xeo (cripsy egg pancake) to share as she warned the pancake was almost the size of our table. We chose the lemongrass chicken filling served with fresh herbs, lettuce, carrots, cucumber and fish sauce. Despite the size; it was rather light so more room in my tummy for a second main. A couple sat next to us and stared at our very large pancake; we knew they were intrigued so as fans of LVK, we told them what that was on the menu and suggested what we had already to try. They certainly took our word for it :)Second Main: Beef pho noodle brothan 8 hour slow cooked broth with noodles, onions, 6 different cuts of beef and a nice chunk of bone (sucking out of it for flavour was optional). You cant go in to a Vietnamese restaurant and not order a pho and its true, I really enjoyed my pho but the bowl was so huge; I actually couldnt finish it. It was so filling, I was rather sad that I couldnt order any dessert! Sad times; but that meant I was going to come back for more and eventually try their dessert. Thuy was an amazing hostess; incredibly passionate to the food, the ideas, the restaurant and most importantly; her customers love for her food. I cannot wait to come back. Do check out her menu and her supperclub arrangements at The Little Viet Kitchen.The LVK is located at 2 Chapel Market, Angel, London, N1 9EZ. Reserve your booking in advanced. redvelvetlondon.com
I really like the decor of the restaurant, very shabby chic! I had their beef wrapped in leaves for starter and pho for my main. The portion of beef starter is quite small and a bit too spicy for my liking. I like the addition of the bone marrow in the pho but they should’ve used a bigger bowl or gave me an extra bowl as I struggle to eat the rest of the noodle. The waitress didn’t get my order correctly as I have requested my pho without bean sprouts but when it still arrived with it so I had to send it back and wait for quite a while. Overall the food is okay, ambience is great but it’s slightly over priced!
What can I say!? It might be the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. All the dishes we tried have the same aromatic, authentic just like my mom’s cooking. Even my girlfriend who is from Hue had to give the highest of compliment to Twee’s Bun Bo Hue!!
