    Great food. Excellent authentic Vietnamese flavor. Suprizing little hole in the wall restaurant. Server was very nice, friendly and helpful.

    Slow cooked braised beef pho, carrot juice

    The slow cooked braised beef pho had generous portions of melt in your mouth cubes of beef. Great bowl of pho for when you're in cold winter London. There weren't the sides of sauce I'm used to. Carrot juice was unfortunately bitter.

    tasteless Pho. so much MSG in the broth. no better than instant Pho that you can buy at supermarket for 50cent each! how could anyone give this restaurant more than one star? their taste buds must be impaired or they have no ideal how authentic Vietnamese food suppose to take like service terrible as well, look at the pair of mismatch chopsticks! how could one make such mistake? furthermore the waiter never brought us water, yet 12% service charge was still added to our bill!

    The summer rolls
    Brian C.

    Now firstly, you have to try the jasmine iced tea - I've no idea what else there is in the concoction but it is delicious. As for the food, well I've had Vietnamese food a couple of times before so that helped as I knew what to expect. However, I felt that this was far tastier than I've had elsewhere and afterwards not only was I very satisfied with what I'd eaten, but it made me feel really good too. I had the pork and prawn summer rolls to start, followed by the beef bowl for the main. The summer rolls were hands down the best I've had. The beef was so freakishly delicious! It was sweet and savoury and sour and spicy all in the same bite. Man that was good - I'm half tempted to go back again tomorrow. Other attendees also raved about the cha cha fish which also looked amazing. I think this is a great concept with real potential - certainly I want to bring everyone I know back here - and if you're reading this then I suggest you do the same!

    Beef noodles
    Nickie C.

    We were in need of a tasty pre-theatre meal, and Brian has been raving about MOC since he went to a Yelp event here, so it seemed a good choice. It was pretty busy but we didn't have to wait for a table. We decided to order some spring rolls to share, and each had the Spicy Grilled Beef. The spring rolls came quickly and were tasty - but a bit overpriced at £6.50 for 2 spring rolls (each cut into three). Our mains took a while, but not too long. I thought the portion seemed a bit stingy, to be honest, with a big hunk of lettuce bulking up the bowl, but the first bite I had was really tasty. The sauce was savoury and tasty, and the noodles were nice. Unfortunately my first piece of beef was so chewy I had to spit it into my napkin. So then I started prodding at the other beef - and it was all inedible. I couldn't even pull it apart with my hands. Brian tried some of his beef and couldn't chew it, either. And then he realised most of his meat was so underdone it was cold/raw in the middle. Since we were going to the theatre, we didn't have time to get food recooked, but obviously I wasn't prepared to pay for food we couldn't eat. Suddenly the good service dried up. We sat there, not eating, for going on for 10 minutes before someone came over. They did offer to make us something else, but they were not at all happy when I said we would like the 2 mains taken off the bill. Until I specified that of course we'd pay for our spring rolls and drinks - then the bill came quickly and off we trotted. A shame, as I liked the taste. I'll have to give them one more chance, I think, but not for a while.

    Tastefull Pho. Not the best one I've ever tried... But above average. The Meat could be better.

    Beef pho and bia Saigon (beer)
    Trong N.

    After a day of English food, I had to find a Vietnamese restaurant. I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad to had came across MOC Kitchen. I ordered beef pho. The food cane out fast and hot. The broth was amazing. If no one was looking, I may had brought the whole bowl to my face to slurp every last drop. Meats were tender and delicate. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The service was lovely. I picked up a few English words... They even offer Saigon and Hanoi beers.

    Nice spot tucked away, ambience is nice and relaxing with gorgeous pictures of Vietnam on the walls. The service is very prompt and friendly. I had the fish summer rolls which unfortunately were not very fresh but the Pork and Spring roll Bun which was lovely. I will be back again as good Vietnamese is hard to find, even in London.

    Some fresh duck roll
    Charlie D.

    This place has wi-fi! Which is necessary as the signal doesn't exist down here, so we could redeem the check-in voucher that brought us there in the first place. We had 2 10% off vouchers that I managed to blag added up to 20% off. Sweet. So I came here because I was longing for some real Asian style Street food - which it was - to reminisce my time spent in Asia. Also they had a check in deal, so off we went. This place is small, not in a cosy, fun way, but more claustrophobic. It reminded me of how Asian cafes were, before the price rudely ripped me from that thought. It's not massively expensive for London, but I feel you can get better for the price. Whether it'll be Vietnamese I'm not sure. The starter was bland until you dunked the duck spring roll into the sauce, which shouldn't be necessary. The coffee was ok, I've had better. We had pho, which was the redeeming factor of this place. The soup part of the soup was great. Absolutely photastic. I love pho. Their beef was a little bland though, I'd aim at chicken next time. They gave us a plate of mint, parsley, beanspeouts and chili to add to it. Surely that should come ready so the soup absorbs the flavour? And so you don't have cold beansprouts that you can tell are far from fresh? I don't know, it wasn't appreciated, but hey pho. Ok I'll stop with the pho puns. The atmosphere was non existent when we went in, though it was like 8.

    Authentic pho can be found here. The service is really quick and good. It is a little expensive being in a tourist area. The restaurant is small and gets full quick. Making a reservation is ideal as many do. The only thing we didn't like what the portion. Seems small when they only have one size. You can pay extra for larger size but it's off the menu.

    Pan wok noodle with chicken
    Katherine A.

    I got the pan wok noodles with chicken and it was quite good. I used the Yelp offer on this one, just make sure to check the receipt and remind the waitress of the discount. She was able to respond to mistakes appropriately so overall had an okay experience. It tastes authentic and is better than the gentrified Vietnamese places.

    See all

    Extremely mediocre food served at extremely high prices by workers who do not seem to care.
