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.

The portion size of the cod and chips was big enough for me and my husband to split. They are VERY generous with the chips and the fish was every bit of 8 oz.

You can see the staff freshly preparing their dumplings in the kitchen and you can taste the freshness in the pan-fried dumplings or pasty. The shanghai pork dumplings on the other hand was the only item that seemed either overly steamed or cooked after significant refrigeration as the dumplings had hardened.  The chive is interestingly dominant in both the fish and chive dumplings and the egg and chive pasty whilst the coconut is pleasantly fragrant and significantly sweet in the coconut buns. Meanwhile the noodles are smooth but of a consistency more like pasta than traditional chinese noodles. In short Panda Dim Sum is a welcome option to have, delivering decent Chinese cuisine and fresh dumplings to this part of East London but it doesn't quite rival other Chinese restaurants that can be found throughout London.

Popped in here as it's on my walk home from the station and as a fan of Mediterranean food, had…read morealways been curious about it. The interior is clean and simple. Between two of us, we shared the Mixed Hot Meze starter and the Olive Special Mixed Grill. So basically, a whole lotta meat. All of it was well-cooked and decently spiced, and the rice was actually fantastic, particularly where the juice from the meat had lightly soaked into it. However, the salad was unfortunately covered in a HUGE helping of red cabbage, which I'm not a fan of - and there weren't many leaves underneath either. I did feel that value-wise, it was a little pricey for the amount we got, and we weren't told that the sparkling water poured into our glasses would be costing us an extra £3. Otherwise though, I did really enjoy the mezes and would head back, although probably opting for one of the standard a la carte dishes instead.

This is a local neighbourhood French restaurant that looked after us really well. Its appearance is…read morecosy and inviting from the street (ok, maybe I just gravitate towards anywhere with fairy lights outside!). Inside it was bustling on a Friday night but we'd booked ahead. We were greeted warmly and they usefully took our coats to hang up on wall hooks. We were with a couple who don't live far, who'd warned us the head waiter walking around was actually the owner, and had shown some typically French (abrupt!) service when they'd been before, sighing when they'd taken longer than 10 seconds to choose wine. I actually didn't mind his matter-of-fact style - he made sure we always had everything we needed and we had plenty to chat about with each other on this occasion rather than make small talk with him! We got through 2 bottles of a well-priced Pinot Noir with dinner, and took the locals' suggestion of a sharing platter of starters which was great for a craver of variety like me. Between the 4 of us I think we all had different favourites from the salami slices to the prawns to the pate to the stuffed tomatoes - so everything got finished. I liked that they served the big platter on a raised stand too - a nice touch so we could all get involved. We all chose steaks for main (FOMO much?!) - I went for the steak frites which was a 225g flat iron that arrived perfectly medium rare as requested and I really enjoyed. I think my guy was less impressed with the rib eye so take note! The only part of the interior that wasn't as pleasant as the rest was the toilet - perfectly clean, lovely moisturiser etc but just absolutely freezing! I suppose it hurries you up... I saw plenty of other things on the very reasonably-priced menu that I'd love to have ordered too, so I'd be quite happy coming back if I was in the area - as it looks like plenty of the locals do!
