    bun hue do bien (£7.50)
    Vivian C.

    No... just no. I had high hopes for this place based on the Yelp reviews as well as the fact that we saw how packed it was on our way to BunBunBun one night. Maybe all the love for this place is because it is BYOB? Yes, we received free prawn crackers... but they were stale. We started off with the fresh summer rolls and opted for the prawn and pork (£4.50). I had assumed that this meant prawn and pork together in the roll. Instead, we received one roll, two pieces, with prawn and one roll, two pieces, with pork. The pork was dry and the filling for both was mostly shredded lettuce meaning it was pretty bland. We liked that instead of the usual peanut sauce they had a fish sauce based dipping sauce, but the sauce was bland. Adam ordered the bun thit nuong cha nem (grilled pork and spring roll bun cha) for £7.50 and I opted for the bun hue do bien (spicy seafood) for £7.50. We love morning glory so got an order with garlic for £6.50. The bun cha wasn't anything special and Adam shared that it was a bit dry and tasteless. My bun hue was OK. The seafood was fine (probably the only plus for the meal was that the seafood wasn't overcooked) but the broth was incredibly bland. A completely forgettable bun hue. We usually love morning glory and get it every time we go to a Vietnamese place. Sadly, we shouldn't have ordered it at Cu Tu. The morning glory with garlic came as a 50/50 mix of bean sprouts and morning glory. Definitely not what we wanted. Being the same price as BunBunBun's morning glory (but BunBunBun's is all morning glory) we thought this was overpriced because, um, bean sprouts are much cheaper than morning glory. If I want sautéed bean sprouts, I'll order that. Lastly, the Sriracha they provide is way too sweet (maybe I just prefer the US brand). Super disappointed by our meal and will definitely not be back.

    Really like it the first time, like it again the second time, and then again the third time. Now I…read moresometimes make the trip to just come here, for some good old authentic Vietnamese food. 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.

    One of only very few places I'll go in London for a bowl of pho...I am not usually picky about my…read morefood except when it comes to pho! Staff are super friendly and helpful... Update 2/11/2016: Little Saigon have upgraded their menu and have included more home cooked favourites! Canh Chua Nem nuong! Highly recommend!!!!
