Chelsea, Vietnamese Restaurant Guide

“Buzzing, busy, delicious, rushed, noisy, crowded…” – this noodle bar is everything you might expect from a Vietnamese street-food outlet; and is notably “good value for the area”, situated as it is in a posh courtyard off Chelsea’s King’s Road. You could be forgiven for not realising that the name apparently means ‘happy Buddha’.

This “enjoyable” South Kensington Vietnamese offers “tasty and original dishes” in a “clean-looking, functional” dining room that’s very different from ex-Hakkasan chef Jeff Tan’s first venture (the street food-style Viet Food in Chinatown).
