  I was here for dinner the other day. It’s a cozy little busy place. I had the vegetarian/tofu pho which is quite a meal for one. Loaded with fresh ingredients and plenty of healthy greens, that’s what you can look forward to. It was just too big a portion for me. I could barely get through half!Slightly more expensive than its neighbors but boasts a nice personality 🙂

  Very fast service and good food. Everything looked and tasted fresh . The aroma of the food was amazing . The floor staff is efficient . I had chicken Satay and summer rolls with prawns that were both very good . For main course I tried some sauteed noodles with chicken (cant remember the name) that were also very good. Generous quantity of food.

  There’s been a lot of buzz in the foodie community about Vietnamese restaurant BunBunBun. In the heart of super-cool Hoxton and situated on the iconic Kingsland Road it’s a mark of honour that BunBunBunhas made such a impact amongst hot competition in the area. After visiting for review last week it’s easy to see why. The restaurant serves authentic, fresh and frankly mind blowingly good Vietnamese food.BunBunBunboasts an Extensive and varied menu with lots of delights to the excite the senses. There is Plenty of pork and seafood dishes, plus classic bahn mi inspired salads, sumptuous pho and refreshing summer rolls. When you walk around the restaurant delicious smells tickle your tastebuds, while the exposed printed walls, wooden tables and mismatched chairs give the restaurant a hint of cool.We were kindly served by a Team of two who appeared to be running the show. They were very polite and helpful, especially when We asked our waitress for her recommended dishes and she had plenty of advice. So upon her choices we dived in.WhereBunBunBun, HoxtonWhenSaturday lunch, 2pmWhatGois Cuon Tom (Prawn Summer Rolls), Thit Ba Chi Nuong (Honey Marinated Pork Belly), Muc Muoi Ot (Salt and Chilli Squid), Bun Cha Hanoi (Lemongrass Pork and Noodle Salad), Bun bo hue (Spicy Lemongrass Beef and Pork Noodle Soup)Highlights:The portion sizes are massive- and not just bulked out with the cheapest part of the dish. My pho came with tonnes of fresh herbs and vegetables on the side which allowed me to alter the flavour completely to my taste. As I went for the spicy broth I avoided added any chilli!Alex’s intriguing bahn mi salad was unlike anything I have seen before. The noodles were served cold with an overflowing plate of lettuce wraps, herbs and seasonings. Next to this was a steaming bowl of pork meat patties in a stunning hot dressing. The idea for this salad is to allow you to mix and match flavour combinations and have a different experience with each bite.The salt and pepper squid starter was amazingly tasty with fresh lime juice and soft, crunchy tempura.Lowlights:The summer rolls are served with. Peanut sauce, which is fine but it would have been nice to have this stated on the menu. theyoungdomesticgoddess.blogspot.com

  A new Viet on the Kingsland Road strip specializing in Bun Cha. Hip decor, evoking a stylized street food stall. Rough plaster, stencilled graffiti, garlands of bare bulbs mixed with industrial lighting fixtures, oak tables with metal legs reminiscent of school desks and artfully mismatched chairs.The three of us all ordered Bun Cha Hanoi. That’s cold rice vermicelli, salad, and herbs, served with warm pork patties, grilled pork loin, and spring roll, dressed with nuoc cham (the dipping sauce of sweetened vinegar and fish sauce that’s on most Vietnamese salads).The herbs were all extremely fresh and robust with plenty of perilla leaf, mint, thai basil and coriander. The vermicelli, spring roll and lettuce leaves (for wrapping the meat) were presented on a large plate, rather than the customary bowl. The pork patties and pork loin were served separately floating in the bowl of nuoc cham. Both of the meats were beautifully char grilled, and the spring roll was exceptionally crisp. The nuoc cham came with little dishes of grated garlic and chopped chillies, so you could customize the amount of each. As a garnish, there were some lightly pickled carrots, turnip and cucumber. Altogether a good sized portion. The very hungry man at our table asked for an extra spring roll with his dish.This was the best Bun Cha I have ever had. Even my Vietnamese girlfriend, who has been to Hanoi a couple of times said it was the best Bun Cha in her memory too. There was an order of monkfish bun cha served to the table behind us. I could hear her dish sizzling on the table. I must try that next time.BunCha is a BYO but the corkage charge of 3 per person is rather hefty. Corkage is charged for the whole table, regardless of whether everyone is having BYO wine.
