    Chicken Pho & Prawn Laksa
    Steven W.

    I'm probably going to get some hate for this, but the food here is just ok at best. My expectations for Asian food are generally higher than most since I grew up on Southern California where Asian food is abundant across it. Phat Phuc Noodles unfortunately falls within the middle range for me - it's ok at best. Ordered the Chicken Pho and Shrimp Laksa. Chicken Pho in all honesty would be on the lower end when you toss it into the competition of anything in Orange County, CA. The broth lacks a lot of depth and flavor. The only good thing about it is that the chicken is meaty. The Laksa is better than the Pho that I ordered, but it lacked richness. If I had to choose between the two though, I would go with the Laksa. Honestly it's hard to say this, but it might be worth it to just skip out on the Asian food in London when you're visiting from CA. You'll likely better off getting it back at home.

    Quick, delicious food. Sometimes there is a little wait to get in but well worth the wait! It's in a little courtyard downstairs -food truck excellence.

    Their absolutely delicious beef pho
    Alyssa P.

    Came here on a chilly day for an early dinner and I was very impressed by this place. Coming from the Bay Area in the US, there is an abundance of pho shops--it seems like you can find one on each corner. Here in the UK, it was a bit harder to find a good vietnamese place. I feel lucky to have found Phat Phuc. The atmosphere was fun and extremely unique, as it was an al fresco dining experience. Seating is limited, so I ended up sitting at the bar and made some good conversation with the cooks. Very pleasant experience. I am definitely coming back whenever I need a Vietnamese fix. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

    Sooo good! Came here for a rainy sunday dinner. Fast service, friendly staff and grrat tasting food. Its great for a cheap meal in Chelsea!

    This place is awesome. Everything here was delicious. The service was really quick too. All the seating is outside so get yourself a drink to cool down.

    I stumbled upon this place and ended up loving it. I ordered the chicken coconut curry with egg noodles and it was so flavorful. It's great place to relax or have a quick grab n go. It's in a little rain tent outside and it's super cute!

    Duck Pancakes

    This place was our first stop in London! The Laksa is so good! We had never tried duck pancakes before, delicious! The staff was exceptionally friendly, and helped us on what to order, since we have never had Laksa before

    Beef laksa

    Great beef laksa, soup base was very tasty and the beef was good quality. Very tasty and made with fresh herbs and spices.

    Very nice small noodle bar with good and flavorful soups at very good prices. I had a Laksa with shrimps that I liked a lot and it was a good portion well balanced between soup, noodles and shrimps.

    Pho!

    This place was exactly what we expected, walk up counter service, cold beers in a cooler, and delicious Pho! Very informal and welcoming atmosphere. The owner was really kind and took our order promptly and served us quickly. We were really happy with our pho's. I had the veggie tofu and my husband had the beef pho and both were scrumptious and very flavorful. The broth was just a bit too salty for our preferences but still absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for such a warm welcome for pho in London!

    Great little Vietnamese spot! Outside, but has covers from the rain and is quite cozy. Quick service-style so you order first and then they bring you your food. The owner was taking orders and was extremely nice and welcoming! The food was delicious, cheap, and FAST! I had the Pho Ga and would order it several times over.

    The laksa has nice aromatic flavour but next time I am going to try the pho as I am more of a pho girl.

We arrived about 30 minutes early for our reservation, and the staff kindly allowed us to wait inside, which we really appreciated since London was experiencing record-high temperatures during our trip. The only small issue was that one of our appetizers was mixed up, but it did not take away much from the overall experience. The meal itself was fantastic. I had the Bò Kho, and it was rich, flavorful, and exactly the kind of comforting Vietnamese dish I was hoping for. Everything we tried was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Overall, Cay Tre delivered an excellent dinner experience. Aside from the minor appetizer mix-up, the food was amazing, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for great Vietnamese food in London.

Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down, we were quite cold because of the door being opened frequently and the lack of heating. We ordered the crispy spring rolls to share, and my friend ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and I got the spicy tofu noodle soup (pho). The spring rolls came quickly and upon taking a bite, I noticed what I thought was pork or chicken inside, so as a pescatarian/doesn't eat meat I spit it out and we flagged down the server. The staff member said they were seafood spring rolls, and when we asked if there was pork, beef or chicken, he didn't know. We asked him to check with the chef, and he was gone for 5 minutes. He returned and said it was seafood only in the spring rolls, which is okay for my diet, so I continued eating the spring rolls, although was still a bit hesitant. They had a nice crunch and were good tasting, but I didn't like the mustard dipping sauce. My friend and I both liked our spicy noodle soup/pho (hers with beef, mine with tofu), although we weren't too impressed. We expected more spice, and I would have liked more vegetables or toppings in mine. The service was decent but not amazing, and the restaurant was very cold in the London winter time. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday evening but had lots of space and there never was a wait. I saw big parties of people there, couples, individuals out solo, and more, a big mix. My total was £19 for splitting the spring rolls and my tofu soup and tap water, which is okay for London (but still expensive!). The mix up with the spring rolls is still looming in my mind...

    You are not just paying for small food here; you are paying to be dismissed and lectured by the…read morestaff. They are far more interested in defending their illogical pricing than providing decent food or service. This restaurant should be avoided. The Problem: Price vs. Plate This spot has a huge line, but don't be fooled--it's not worth the wait or the price. I paid £15 for the spicy noodles, and the portion that arrived was laughably small. It felt like an appetizer, not a main course, and the flavor was bland and unauthentic. This is a severe failure of value for money in a competitive London market. The Owner's Unacceptable Attitude When I gave feedback about the poor value on the bill, the owner immediately got defensive, and the conversation became completely unprofessional: 1. Hiding Behind Culture: They tried to excuse the size by claiming it's an "authentic Vietnamese breakfast portion," and that servings are naturally smaller than in the US. I pointed out that I was here for dinner, paying £15. 2. The Condescending Giggle: When I mentioned where I'd had a properly sized, authentic bowl before, the owner and their companion actually giggled at me. The companion then snapped the quote: "Americans have large portions everywhere." The problem is the staff's unacceptable defensive attitude toward a legitimate customer complaint. They use cultural excuses to mask illogical pricing. Do not waste your money here.

We ordered two items so can only speak to those two items. I ordered Pho Tai which is raw sliced beef. I tried really hard but couldn't spot a tinge of pink in the tiny slices of beef in my bowl. The broth was lackluster and needed fish sauce but no fish sauce was provided. Vietnamese pho is generally served with a generous portion of bean sprouts and Thai basil. They offered a sprig of basil and mint with broken remnants of bean sprouts in a teeny square container. My daughter ordered the Banh Xeo but when the waiter corrected her and said "pancake" we really should have sprinted out the door. This item was listed as a meal but was the size of an appetizer, 6 inches in diameter. It was essentially fried vegetables with a hand-sized fried rice cake thrown on top. This place really does an injustice to Vietnamese food. We overheard two staff talking in Chinese who were most likely the owners. Explains how Vietnamese food could have been done so badly. If you want authentic Vietnamese please look elsewhere.
