I was offered a small bowl of homemade kimchi to go with my Tiger beer, which I was delighted by! I've wanted to try Kimchi for AGES! And it was so tasty :-) I ordered a king prawn pho. Flat noodles; halved prawns; fresh coriander, basil and mint; sliced red chilli and bean sprouts on the side which I added. I also asked if they could give it a bit of a kick to try and sink my blossoming cold and they kindly obliged. Not too hot, but enough to give it some warmth. Omnomnom! Gorgeous :-) I spoke to the owner afterwards and he said they were quite new. I would definitely be back if I'm in the area.

I had one of the soups with rice vermicelli, beef and vegetables. It was good but no matter what spiciness I added, the broth still seemed too bland for my preference. Same for my wife's rice vermicelli with mixed vegetables. The little bowl of pickled vegetables that was brought to the table were delicious. Just the right amount of spice and pickling. The restaurant is very clean, nicely decorated and it's front tables open to the sidewalk, with a couple of tables outside. Also the price was very reasonable. I'd like to give these nice people 4 stars for all the above, but the main entree failed to satisfy.

I was in Brighton for a conference in mid-September 2023 and decided to try this Vietnamese…read morerestaurant for an early dinner (5:45pm) on a Wednesday. First, the food quality is good and reasonably priced (13 pounds). I ordered the big bowl pho soup includes noodles, meatballs, and beef with a side helping of bean sprouts to add. It was satisfying and hearty. The only blemish was that the broth had a bit more fat than I would have liked. Location is convenient for visitors to Brighton. It's on Preston Street near the Waitrose supermarket. From the Brighton I-360 tourist attraction, it's about 1-2 blocks north away from the water. From Churchill Square (near the clock tower), it's about a 5-7 minute walk to the west (along the street that is reserved for buses and taxis only). The restaurant is a bit tiny - I would recommend it for solo diner or couples. It's not convenient for a large group. Preston Street has a nice boba tea shop across the way and other restaurants that are worth a look-see. Overall, I would recommend "the Big Bowl" for visitors to Brighton who are looking for authentic Vietnamese pho.

Their soft shell crab, char grilled prawns, and spicy beef pho noodle soup are a must.

Some of the smoke exhaustion systems didn't work tonight so they only served a limited menu. That shouldn't have been a problem as we were going for some soups. I have ordered chicken wings followed by spicy beef soup. When the food was served the waiter accidentally spilled some of the red soup on my pants. At this point I was still willing to give them five star is the food was delicious. Unfortunately when I was about to finish my soup and put in the last spoonful into my mouth it contained a large piece of long hair that I had to take out of my mouth. I almost throw up.

My favourite starters are the Cha Giò (Egg rolls) and Banh Xéo, which are both socially acceptable to eat with your hands! You can also dip both in nuoc cham or peanut sauce for additional flavor. I also recommend the Pho Tai (steak), Pho Chin (brisket) or Com Tam Dac Biet (House special broken rice bowl). The broth for pho is always warm and I can't help myself but to drink all of the soup after I am done! If you need a drink, go for the Cà Phe Sua dá (Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk) - I swear it's nothing like you've ever tried before.

This is a little gem in Leyton. What makes this Vietnamese restaurant stand outs, is that it has a slightly different added menu, it still makes the traditional food, but stuffed chicken wings? Saying that, the traditional dishes were just as splendid, full of mouth watering flavours, combining with the freshness and texture when taking that first bite. And there was no skimping on the portion sizes. I left that restaurant quite full. The venue itself was spacious and open. really cool modern and simple decorating, but it works. Even when the restaurant was full, still did not feel crowded, quite the opposite, relax with a buzz vibe. That was also due to the part of the waiters, who were very friendly, attentive, and on point. They have some really good lunch offers at the moment, so that really helps, but generally the cost is quite decent and value for money, comparing to other Vietnamese restaurants. Other than parking and its awkward location, one way narrow road, I would say this is a good place to eat.

Not very impressed with the Banh Mi special…read more I love my Vietnamese sandwiches so was positively salivating to get my hands on the £5.50 special filled with sausage, floss, salad and more. But sadly it was a big disappointment. Well, I say big, but it was actually a bit skinny and long. For me a Banh Mi should be a crispy fresh-baked demi almost the shape of a pair of lips and stuffed as full as possible with goodies. This was basically a bit of a thin baguette sliced and filled quite thinly. For £5.50 it was a bit of a rip off considering a similarly underwhelming baguette sandwich can be got over the road at M&S for £3 or so. Hopefully I'll get a chance to come back to Ngon to try their Pho. When I do I hope they've upper their game with the Banh Mi. At the least, please just get better bread!
