“ A few months ago I took my son to the hospital near by and I forgot my purse and had no cash to pay to get my car out at ‘a very STRICT cash only car park place’. I panicked and started to ask different near by off-license if they would accept cash back and they all said no. I decided to ask at this place because I knew they were Vietnamese and maybe they could help another fellow Vietnamese out. They said no... I thought if I don’t even have a chance here, I wouldn’t have a chance anywhere. I started to cry because I felt hopeless and stuck. That’s when they felt sorry for me and gave me 10 cash back and I paid them more to cover the fees. Anyways, I’m so thankful for that day for saving me and your banh mi is honestly so delicious! I always make sure to get me some banh mi, whenever I’m in town. ”
“ Food was nice, I like their banh mi selection. Service was okay. I do suggest to go earlier on the day to get best selection of food, as it sold out by the afternoon. ”
“ Firstly, thank you to the Chef Sonia and the wonderful team she has! This chicken noodle soup is exactly what I needed — absolutely perfect. The broth is warm and flavorful, the noodles are soft and comforting, and the chicken is tender and tastes so fresh. Every bite feels like it was made with care. It’s the kind of soup that lifts your spirits and makes you feel better from the inside out. Truly comforting and delicious. A personal rating of 10 for Viet Cafe in Camberwell. ”
“ Absolutely amazing rare beef pho, up there with the best I’ve ever had! The broth is incredible, so light but with such a depth of flavour. Can’t recommend enough. Pho usually only on the menu on Saturdays though! Lovely, friendly staff too. Banh mi also very good, nice selection of fillings and delicious iced and hot Vietnamese coffee. ”
“ Came for lunch . Very nice vibes , relaxed. Friendly service , was served fast for how busy it was . The pork in the bahn mi was delicious and the chicken with rice. Good value for money. Will go back for soup and noodles. ”
“ Came here today and had beef Pho. The beef brisket was soft and flavoursome and melts in your mouth. The soup was excellent, rich and deep with a multitude of flavours. You can tell a lot of time was taken to perfect this. Forget the spoon and just drink it from the bowl....100% satisfaction ”
“ My favorite restaurant in London!! The grilled pork with rice and prawn noodle soup is super delicious, close to my work as well, I visit this place almost every time I work, highly recommend!! :))) ”
“ Unassuming cafe that opens up into a beautiful space with a high ceiling and cute patio out back for summer vibes. The food is outstanding, cooked by Sonia, who is passionate about making authentic Vietnamese dishes and experimenting with new twists. Grab a delicious banh mi for lunch or go on a Saturday if you want to try her legendary pho. ”
