Not very impressed with the Banh Mi special. I love my Vietnamese sandwiches so was positively salivating to get my hands on the £5.50 special filled with sausage, floss, salad and more. But sadly it was a big disappointment. Well, I say big, but it was actually a bit skinny and long. For me a Banh Mi should be a crispy fresh-baked demi almost the shape of a pair of lips and stuffed as full as possible with goodies. This was basically a bit of a thin baguette sliced and filled quite thinly. For £5.50 it was a bit of a rip off considering a similarly underwhelming baguette sandwich can be got over the road at M&S for £3 or so. Hopefully I'll get a chance to come back to Ngon to try their Pho. When I do I hope they've upper their game with the Banh Mi. At the least, please just get better bread! read more

Ngon - Vietnamese Near Me - London, XGL

comment updated in January 2015 . The restaurant now does deserve it five stars for providing great value for money. I am so pleased that the restaurant heard the voice of the consumer and decided to install air-conditioning. It greatly improves the dinning experience. Friendly staff and great value for money. The curries are to die for. read more

Ngon - Awesome curry. - Vietnamese Near Me - London, XGL

Friendly and quick staff. Delicious and authentic food. We started lunch with tofu summer rolls which were very fresh and accompanied by a tasty peanut dipping sauce we could have used more of. My husband had a soy blueberry smoothie and bbq pork banh mi. Both were delicious. I had passion fruit green bubble tea and beef pho. Everything was full of flavour and very pleasing. Just what Chiswick needs! read more

Good portion, clean environment, food was good, staff members was friendly, and good price range. I would go back and eat there the next time I visit again. read more

Ngon is slap bang in the middle of the restaurant cornucopia that is Chiswick High Street. We came for lunch on Saturday. Ngon is more a cafe than restaurant but is none the worse for it. You order at the counter from a small but varied menu. We had vegetable spring rolls. The missus had a papaya salad and I has a big lovely bowl of pho. All were great-tangy, sharp tastes and fresh textures. The spring rolls (cold) were perhaps a little big for a starter but this was good food at very reasonable prices. A great alternative for a quick lunch. read more

Chiswick High Road is full of chain restaurants which are boring and predictable. Luckily for West London, Ngon has come along to save the day. A casual, order at the bar, simple and charming Vietnamese cafe, this establishment fills all my criteria. I visited on a weekday lunch time and had the Special Pho and a Passionfruit bubble tea from a short, but concise menu. The bubble tea arrived quicker than you could imagine, still frothy from the blender, my fruity tea was smooth, sweet and icy cold with a lovely green tea kick-worlds apart from the faux teas found in Chinatown. A large serving of tea for my £3.50 and with a free choice of jelly/tapioca balls, I went with mango jelly, which were generous and delicious. Soon after, my Pho came along. Steaming and inviting, I took a cautious sip of the soup base, my expectations were excelled, I think a sign of relief was even had! Pho is served with a small dish of garnishes; chillies, lemon, mint and beansprouts. My only grudge initially was that there seemed to be a slightly stingy amount of garnishes, but after tasting the full of flavour Pho, all is forgotten, who needs garnishes when theres so much deep flavour already there!! The serving is quite big, perfect for the super hungry, a slighter appetite would be defeated. The perfectly cooked noodles came with 3 types of beef, including (if I'm not mistaken) home-made beef balls and perfectly tender beef slices. Leaps and bounds above the high street chain competition down the road. Absolutely lovely and for just £11, my belly and my wallet couldn't have been happier. I have been thinking about this place ever since I left and have told anyone who will listen how great the place is. I am so happy Ngon has opened as East London seems to be concentrated with Vietnamese cafes leaving West London a void of such joy, until now. If you're looking for a hearty meal, stay-in or take-away, look no further. This place is an absolute delight. They even offer a small amount of groceries and a loyalty stamp-card system. My card will be filled up very soon!! read more

Great pho (have consumed as eat-in and also as take-away) and I will eat pho here over and over and over again BUT there are a couple of downsides to Ngon. First, the tables in the front of the restaurant are probably traditional but I could not help but note that they were a size fitted best for a small child. In fact, there was a three-year-old child sitting on one of the stools at a table and it was of a perfect size for her. They are not of a perfect size for me who happens to be 5 foot 10 inches tall. I had nowhere to put my legs. Nowhere to put my jacket. Nowhere to put my body. It was probably the most uncomfortable meal I've ever had. The upside is that the tables at the back of the restaurant are of normal adult height and size. The problem with this is that everyone flocks to those tables so if you happen to visit at a peak time, you will either be stuck at the child-sized tables or ordering food for take-away. The second downside is that they close at 8pm. This includes Friday and Saturday nights and it also included huge disappointment one night when my husband and I arrived at 8:05pm expecting to get a nice bowl of pho only to find ourselves having a terrible dinner at All Bar One nextdoor. read more

I was introduced to this place with a colleague claiming that they made the best sandwiches in the world - a pretty big statement coming from a foodie - so I had high expectations when I went to this unassuming, small café. And I'm glad to say it did not disappoint. All of the ingredients they use are completely fresh and you can really taste it. The flavours are amazing - particularly the chicken and duck sandwiches - and considering the quality and quantity, I think they're fairly priced at a fiver. I haven't tried the other stuff on the menu yet - it's mainly soup/sandwiches/rolls/pho/curry/rice -, but after doing the usual rounds of snooping at other people's tables, I got food envy. All of the dishes are served generously and smell amazing. There's nothing particularly special about Ngon in terms of the interior or atmosphere, but basically, if you like food, then you'll like this place. read more

One of the better bahn mis I've had in London. The bread was good, more importantly the ingredients were fresh and well balanced. Good prices as well and the pho smells good. I'll try it next time and will eat here again. read more

When I first went to this place I loved it and was so happy to have them in Chiswick... However last time we went there were a few issues. 1. Not so generous anymore on the herbs for the soup which are served on the side. Also they switched to wilted old mint leaves instead of proper basil. 2. Quality of the meat had declined significantly 3. Dry noodles which were rehydrated instead of fresh noodles I would happily pay a bit more to have it done right. However as an ex-chef I know the cost of these ingredients so I don't see how they cannot manage to do it properly! read more

Decent Vietnamese cuisine. I've struggled to find good Asian food in London. To be fair, California blows U.K. Out of the water when it comes to Asian food (with the exception of the Indian subcontinent) so the bar is set very high. I ordered from Deliveroo and it came very quickly. The food was fresh and good for a simple, healthy meal. read more

Expensive. The bubble tea is lovely. They also have a stamp card for every time you get a bubble tea which is cool. I think the ninth is free. But one is £3.80. Kinda pricey. The spring rolls...honestly, this was my first time having them and they're probably done right but there were tasteless. Yuck! Hardly any prawns in them either. Maybe I'll try this place again but I definitely won't be having the spring summer rolls. read more

The banh mi is much better, with a soft bread. I have heard countless customers praising the pho, it does taste authentic.

Small but perfectly formed. Love the pho and banh mi sandwiches. A great lunch after a day of shopping.

I love this place! My favorite: the Prawn Pho. I really tastes like when i was in south east asia. I've tried a lot of Vietnamese places but Ngon is the only one that gets it right. You can't go wrong with this place. read more

I used to love this little family run Vietnamese joint in the heart of Chiswick. Good food, decent service. However, today I was really disappointed. I ordered the pulled chicken salad and even decide to upsize for an extra 1.50. Well guess what, size wise, it wasn't much of a difference from the regular portion, but more importantly there was hardly any chicken in the salad. I did mention to the lady that this was a ripoff but it was more like talking to deaf ears. I get it that a restaurant needs to make money, but cmon seriously do you really expect to stay in business with this sort of cheekiness? I hope the management reads this, takes note and changes things for the better. read more

I work a few shops away and have tried all Vietnamese food places in the area. This little shop is quite casual but if offers exellent food though. Everyhting is fresh and tasty from warm, crunchy baguette to Pho, rice dishes and salads, everything is authentic...that I can tell as I used to work in Vietnam. It is also cheap for quick-eats. Highly recommended. read more
