This place we found was open for a late night delivery. All our orders are very good. We order the last 2 nights before heading back to US. We had their salt and pepper wings (6 orders), salt pepper squid (2 orders), salt pepper ribs, duck pho, Vietnamese egg fried rice with shrimp (2 orders), prawn Sumer rolls, papaya and mango with prawn, Vietnamese spring rolls (2 orders), salt and pepper prawns, and shaking beef. All are good, no complaints. We ordered two nights in a row and liked it. We all shared and did an average rating of 4 stars. This is an easy Ubereats delivery order and it was delivered within half an hour.
Soooo good, after a semi long traveling day this was my perfect comfort meal to eat. The inside is big but feels very cozy, they have some seats that are like picnic style benches where other are more like tables/seats. There are lights and plants all around the restaurant to make it feel even more cozy and fun. Portions are HUGE!!! I got the vermicelli bowl with pork. I get this a lot in the US and I'd say it's pretty good. I also got the spring roll which was good...but different. The texture is different than what I'm used to (granted, in the US the spring rolls are the shrimp ones with veggies/peanut sauce etc so in the UK I'm going to assume it's different, like crisps/chips etc). But regardless, super bomb. Definitely give this place a try if you want some filling Vietnamese food.
Great pho and other vermicelli dishes. The Vietnamese ice coffee is on point- very strong. The head waitress here is super nice and friendly. We'll definitely be regulars here.
This place has really good authentic Vietnamese food with authentic nc mm! The servers are great very attentive and patient with our orders! The pho is very tasty and the meat was so tender! My friend and I rated this place as one of the top three restaurants during our travels!
Good friendly staff. It was a nice stop during the hustle and bustle of our trip. Food is similar to American Vietnamese, but the sauces and certain styles of serving it were very different. For instance the peanut sauce tasted a lot less sugary and less thick than the common American variety. The Hoison sauce wasn't available either if I recall correctly, but they had plenty of sriracha. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was good. If you're trekking through the area and you have a craving for some Vietnamese, you can't go wrong with a Ngon Ngon. I would hesitate to eat here again, don't be afraid to give it a try! It's great?
We all loved our food so much! We started with an order of the spring rolls and summer rolls - both delicious. The prawn summer rolls had a strong coriander/basil flavor and were served with a delicate sauce, much different than the traditional peanut sauce. Very surprising and refreshing. I got the spicy pork pho soup, one of the best I've had. Super fresh ingredients, loved the texture of the noodles, broth was spicy and very layered. Absolutely divine. Service was spot on - our waiter was classy, extremely polite, and attentive. This is the kind of place you could eat at every day and not feel bad because it's affordable, tasty, fresh, and healthy. Yum!!
Food: 3 | Service: 2 | Ambiance: 3 I've had my fair share of Pho and this one wasn't bad. I ordered the spicy beef pho and it was okay, I just didn't feel like the broth had the complexity or depth I'm used to. The real issue was that there was just a hint of grass in the aftertaste of the broth. Yes, grass. Like a lawn. That you mow. I asked the waiter after I had almost finished the bowl if they added any kind of vegetables or herbs to the broth and he said no. He then went on to suggest perhaps it's the chili oil. This made no sense to me so I said it's probably not the chili oil... Then he suggested it was lemongrass. I know what lemongrass tastes like, it's not lemongrass. I let it go and I asked to pay. A girl came back with the receipt and I gave her my card. She told me it was a £10 minimum and my bill was £9.50 and I had no cash. Let me say at this point that I saw no sign that said there was a minimum otherwise I would've gotten cash or wouldn't have sat down. So I asked to order a fresh juice (it was £3+). She listed off the fruits and I chose watermelon. It came back to me and there was an odd taste to it. It was because there was TEA in it. The waitress failed to mention that it was a watermelon TEA. I mean it was still fine but it wasn't what I ordered. Btw, this is London and I speak English so this isn't a language issue. After all that I asked the staff if there was somewhere that said there is a £10 minimum and she said no. Apparently the owners were making a sign. This should still be disclosed whether by announcing it upon arrival or scribbling it temporarily on a the back of a receipt and taping it to the window or counter. Anyways, I wasn't pleased with the service mostly. The grassy pho was fine but I wouldn't come back for it. Perhaps order something else?
I headed in this direction in search of a Korean restaurant that I had bookmarked. They were supposed to be open until 3pm, but at 2:30 they had a "closed" sign hung on the door. I then walked down a bit until I found this place and I'm so glad that I did. I had the pork bun (think vermicelli noodle salad) which was amazing. Just the right balance of flavours and textures. I felt guilty adding a bit of sriracha to up the heat, because the balance was absolutely perfect. I also had the spicy beef pho. Very tasty, however it has a strong smell and taste of beef in the soup, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you love your beef. There are plenty of other options on the menu too and when I saw them set up for evening service as I left, I realised that the dinner menu has more options than the lunch menu. The staff were excellent and took good care of me despite my arriving close to their closing time. They had unfortunately run out of the Vietnamese iced coffee, but they had my favourite aloe Vera drink and it was a lovely accompaniment to the light and healthy meal. I love tonkotsu ramen style broth, but on a sunny day like today, pho is absolutely perfect.
After travelling 10 hours from San Francisco and volunteering for 8 hours at City Harvest London, pho was the perfect comfort food. The flavors were robust -- similar to my mom's cooking -- and the presentation was quite creative. We also ordered the shaking beef, which was equally delicious. The atmosphere was delightful with flowers and artwork adding to the charm, as well as excellent service. I'll definitely return during my next trip and sample other menu items. If you're craving authentic Vietnamese food, Ngon Ngon is a must try. The name says it all!
My favorite comfort Vietnamese food on a cold day. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and food is delicious. After a full day of nonstop unhealthy eating I was looking for clean veggie filled food. We shared the papaya salad to start, veggie pho with beef broth (yum), and morning glory with garlic. All of the dishes were light and flavorful, and plated beautifully. Have tried the squid and duck rice dishes and those were fantastic as well. Will come back again and again :)
My tip to judge the quality of an asian place is to go for the classics first. When testing a Thai, I generally go for the red chicken curry; and for the vietnamese, spring rolls are generally a good benchmark :) Sadly, the spring rolls here were pretty small and tasteless, and the rest wasn't much much better. The noodles in my spicy pho seemed very random, and the overall broth just lacked taste as well :( Chicken Satay can be so delicate, but here it was more "sauce over big chunks of chicken". Dishes came out super quickly (which is never a good sign) and the sweet waitress had to come twice to finally get our order right, made of 2 starters and 2 mains. I might give Ngon Ngon another chance..Not sure when though, there are so many great vietnamese options around...
I am reluctant to write my review seeing the last poor reviews given. I did you go to this place maybe 2 months ago...? So my review may not be the most up to date. I had a rather good experience with both the service and the food. The place was not really busy which may explain the good service. We were also seated upstairs. The decoration is rather basic. As for the meal, I quite enjoyed it. I had a chicken and noodle dish which was really good. As starters we had spring rolls which were probably the best I have had. We ordered a seconds of the spring rolls. One of the main selling points is the prices. Really good prices considering the portions!
A very easy five stars from me. One of the best places we ate at on our trip. We walked in on a Thursday night (although it was busy!) and loved everything we got. Don't miss the sharing beef platter. Served the four of us and had so many good apps to try. The duck pho had a phenomenal broth. Rich without being too dark, it was just the right mix of flavors. I got the Ha Noi fish which was unique. The fish was fried and then coated with a great dark soy sauce. Served with vegetables and some noodles this was so unique I'll have to hunt it out when I'm back in US. Great place!! read more

Had a deliciousss meal at Ngon Ngon in London! My wife had the duck pho, and I went for the rare beef pho--both were fantastic! The broth was deep, rich, and authentic, with incredible depth of flavor that really hit the spot. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and just what you'd want from a great bowl of pho. Especially with London's weather at the time Service was chill and efficient, nothing over the top but just right for the vibe. If you're looking for quality Vietnamese food in London, this spot is definitely worth checking out! Go get ittt! read more

I interned at the Finsbury Business Center while studying abroad in London last semester, and Ngon Ngon quickly became my favorite lunch spot! The pho is amazing - beef broth truly hits the spot and makes you feel at home (perfect comfort food on a rainy day). The bún bò huê was also delicious and satisfying - slightly different than how I eat it at home, but still very, very good. I miss this restaurant and the smiles of the staff each time I came in! Warning: they have a $10 credit limit, so bring cash unless you plan on spending more than that! (typical pho bowl is around $8) read more

There has been a lot of new Vietnamese restaurants opening around London recently : Viet Food in Soho and FOLD on Brick Lane which I have planned to visit pretty soon. Seeing all the vietnamese dishes on my Twitter timeline I decided to pay a visit to my old local restaurants around Holborn - Banh Mi Bay. On that occasion we were not very lucky with my boyfriend as Banh Mi Bay was already full. We went instead on Clerkenwell Road (3 minutes away) to Ngon Ngon. We arrived around 1.30pm. Ngon Ngon was absolutely packed too but we managed to get the last empty table. While we were ordering, we were informed that unfortunately they had totally sold out of banh mi. My boyfriend was a bit disappointed. We started our meal by sharing some prawn, pork and squid spring rolls. They were very light, crispy and full of flavour. I liked the fact they had squid in as it gave an extra texture to the usual classic prawn and pork spring rolls you get anywhere else. As a main dish, my boyfriend had the Pho tai, which was rice noodles in a clear beef broth with slim rare cuts of beef. It came with some chili, lime and herbs on the side. I tried his dish, the broth was packed in flavour (even without herbs and spice). The beef was also really tasty and not chewy at all. I had stir fried flat noodles with chicken (Pho Xao Ga). It came with some crispy vegetables: carrot, pak choi, courgette and crispy onions on top. I thought the dish was pretty good, and also had the perfect balance of meat, carbs and vegetables. I remember at Banh Mi Bay the portions are usually slightly bigger but you end up with more noodles than meat or vegetables. Service at Ngon Ngon was pretty good and quick, we waited only 5 minutes between ordering and getting dishes on the table. Our waiter was the restaurant Manager, who was pretty efficient, nice and friendly. Overall I think Ngon Ngon was close to be the perfect restaurant for a short lunch break for £10 or less per head. All the dishes were delicious and smelled amazing. It would have probably been the perfect place if they hadn't sold out of banh mi by 1.30pm. read more
Just a top notch rating from me on all counts. We stopped by for some crispy salt and pepper squid which was really well prepared, perfectly balanced flavours and textures and a generous portion. Top rating. I enjoyed a bowl of monkfish pho. Again great flavoured soup, generously loaded with fish slices (lightly battered) and aromatics. Food came quickly, was delicious, and good value. The staff were welcoming and friendly and great service so looking forward to coming back. read more

Ngon Ngon locates right next to the main street, so probably quite difficult to find parking around. From the outside, it looks like a warm and friendly place and this has proven to be true - service is fast and welcoming. There are quite a few Vietnamese places around this area but Ngon Ngon definitely stands out as one of the better ones in terms of selection of ingredients and flavours. The most important point of Vietnamese food is it's aroma - not that the food need to be more salty or more spicy, but the natural aroma that's lifted from the herbs and pho from this place definitely has that natural aroma and non-artificial taste. The well-done beef brisket was soft and tender, the beef and chicken slices were smooth and fresh. I also ordered the salt and pepper chicken wing as starter, I was glad to find the aroma and flavours are there, but it's not too salty at all!! Very nice with the dip too. WhileI was eating, I also saw one of the waiters carefully picking off the ends of each individual bean sprouts - with such careful dedication to their ingredients, no wonder their food is so nice. read more

What a brilliant little find in Clerkenwell. Went here with my girlfriend for dinner and had a lovely meal. Staff were welcoming, passionate and the food was amazing. Who says you have to be in Old St. for quality Vietnamese food? Can't wait to return again! 5 stars. read more

Was here for a team lunch and we were the first to arrive, having booked a table for 12pm. Not long after the place was rammed packed and food started coming out. Watching plates of sizzling dishes on super hot cast iron pans was nearly unbearable. We ordered a bunch of starters, the crispy squid was okay, but definitely not the best in London as the manager claimed. I ordered the Chef special of the day which was Hanoi fish with noodles. It was lovely, fresh and sizzling. Count me very happy. Sadly they didn't have their famous watermelon juice. Apparently they've stopped doing it because it was attracting a lot of flies to the restaurant, something I completely accept. It's a shame though. Price was pretty good and portions very decent. Would come back again for sure. read more
Ngon Ngon is quite a new Vietnamese restaurant situated in Clerkenwell, taking the former Cafe VN. Due to it's more commercial area it is more quiet during the weekend than the weekdays, especially during lunch hours. However it went through a lovely refurbishment with it's more welcomed yellow walls making the place seem more airy and bright, giving the place a nice wooden lodge cabin feel to it. The tables were nicely laid out, spacious with good natural light coming in too. Our waiter could have been a little more jollier. Most of the time he just stood there bored looking at their empty restaurant. The other staff seem to be more happier, one preparing the sprouts whilst the other remain on his phone nearly most of the time Vietnamese spring rolls As much as I enjoyed the crispiness and how greaseless these were, I found the skin too thick masking a lot of flavour and texture of the filing. From the photo I uploaded you can see how they were double wrapped. However I did enjoy the variation of meats in the filling, from shrimp, squid to pork which helped recover some flavour. Nuoc nam was perfectly sour to sweet, mild on the chilli which made a refreshing dipping sauce to balance out the heaviness Grilled quail These were definitely worth ordering. Being quail they don't have a lot of meat on it but whatever was there was worth getting your fingers dirty for. The meat was incredibly flavoursome, rich, juicy and tender in the honey and Vietnamese spices it was marinated in. The dipping sauce it came with which tasted like salty sour plum was amazing, a bit strong so just a little dip will do the trick, sending a whole complex range of flavour across the quail. Vietnamese crepe with prawns Some have achieved a thinner crepe but this was still very satisfyingly thin, crispy and eggy. It was the filling that let it down a bit, lacking wok energy and a bit too wet with a monotone soy cornstarch slurry over the prawns and beansprouts. Needed more depth. But the variation of textures won it over for me. Lovely crunches and bounciness from the prawns. The nuoc nam aided it with flavour and a generous amount of Vietnamese herbs for complexity and to soak up the moisture. Salted and peppered while seabass Very presentable but poorly executed. The fried fish pieces delivered no flavour, bland and uninspiring. None of the onions, salt or pepper rubbed onto the fish which meant it lacked wok energy. The batter was chewy rather than crispy. The whole dish was desperately reliant on the nuoc nam for flavour. Grilled pork bún A very refreshing dish. The noodles were perfectly al dente topped over with aromatic pieces of grilled pork, packed full of flavour with a nice smokey edge to it from where it was charred. Peanuts and deep fried onions added a nice contrast in texture and added flavour. Herbs gave it complexity and made it peppery. Could have been a bit more generous with the nuoc nam seeing the size of the dish but a very minute problem seeing how delicious the dish was overall. Spicy beef noodles An excellent take on bun bo hue. The broth had depth and complexity with nice sour and spicy notes. The noodles were the authentic round kind, wonderfully slippery against the generous amount of tender rare beef slices which had a good amount of fatty bits giving it that richness in flavour and sweetness. Morning glory with garlic This was nice to have as a side and cooked well where the garlic flavours really infused into the greens itself. Lacked wok energy although seasoning was perfect and a nice cornstarch slurry so the morning glory was kept moist and the flavours attached. Ngon Ngon is a quite a good choice if you're looking for decent Vietnamese food. It's definitely not perfect and lacks passion to deliver the best out of all the dishes especially with any dish requiring a wok as it seems they know how to let the oil heat up before putting the ingredients in to allow the flavours to be released. Their grilled dishes, noodle soups and buns are definitely more successful and if I was to return, I will stick to that. read more

I would give a 3-stars, but I'll give the 4-star review because my expectations are based on an area where pho is far more popular; I believe the pho in London is generally not very good, but these guys had an alright vegetable pho. The noodles were excellent as well as the tofu, but something just seemed a bit off with the broth and I was disappointed with what looked like a small serving size to me. I couldn't tell if the broth was truly vegetarian or not. Darker colour is usually an indicator that meat was used, but I didn't notice any of the oily spots associated with the meat broth. I'm thinking it was probably a very strong mushroom broth, but I am still not sure and I didn't bother to ask (I'm not a vegetarian, but I prefer vegetarian dishes). The other components of the pho, such as the mushrooms and Chinese broccoli, were also good. I think the pho could have greatly benefited with some onions, carrots, and larger broccoli pieces such as the ones you'll see at Sainsbury's for ~ 50 p and some bok choy. The price of this dish was shy of £8. The presentation of the pho was beautiful. It came in a tall looking bowl, and the platter was very unique! The ambiance of the area was very calming and there was plenty of comfortable seats to choose from. I must admit the lighting was a bit dim, but I'm not sure if a super bright place would be fitting for their room and the yellow walls and artwork compensated for it anyways. I liked that there were seating facing the window, but I chose a table instead because I had my backpack and felt it would be easier to sit it along the table instead. If I lived in that area, then I would probably choose to grab a bowl each day, hang out, and work on assignments from my modules at the university. Customer service was excellent. I was promptly seated, they understood my order well, and they allowed me to keep the menu to look at other dishes if I may have wanted to order more. I was tempted because the selection was very good... egg fried rice appeared to be a reasonably good price and I was curious about the vegetarian and tofu rolls (seems the difference between the two was primarily the taro root in the vegetarian one). Nothing appeared wrong with it, but I simply didn't feel like having a starter/side today. I was able to pay for my meal quickly after I finished, and the staff were very friendly and could maintain a conversation. Overall: I would recommend this place to friends who are visiting London and want pho. The ambiance was nice and I'd love hanging out there, and the staff did an excellent job. read more

LOVED this place! It was very cutely decorated. There is one very large table, could be used for large parties or a communal table. The service is very friendly and food tastes very fresh. We came here for a quick small bite. We ordered the fresh prawn summer rolls and beef salad. The only criticism I have is to change the sauce for the prawn summer rolls, but that is my opinion. I think the peanut hoisin sauce is much better and the thickness of the sauce goes well with the texture of the rolls. Or a fish sauce. The beef salad was perfect for the hot weather and fresh tasting. I felt the beef was borderline undercooked but for me I prefer it that way. The beef was very tender. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Traveled from New York to London. Stay at Gray"s inn road. We found this restaurant on Yelp. Thanks everyone's recommendation, thanks Yelp. Yes! This is one of very best Vietnam food I ever had. Even though the noodles are not fresh made like most Vietnam restaurants do in New York. But it is still good in flavor, texture, also very well mixed in fresh vegetables and all other authentic ingredients. I ordered spicy flat noodle with seafood. It test great. The service was good too. read more

Great place with quick service and solid Vietnamese food. I'm Vietnamese born and raised and know what's good when it comes to authentic food. I wouldn't say Ngon Ngon's food is the best I've had or extremely authentic. However, it tastes great and will satisfy my Vietnamese food craving enough. I've been twice so far and have tried their chicken pho, rice and grilled pork, prawn summer rolls, and spring rolls. The chicken pho was a little too salty and sweet, but was not bad at all and those without such high standards for Vietnamese food would love it. The rice with grilled pork was pretty standard, but didn't come with any frills like I am used to (bean sprouts, pickled veggies, cilantro). Prawn summer rolls were good but didnt come with a peanut sauce which was disappointing. I usually eat them with fish sauce anyway so that was fine. Spring rolls are good as well just a little more fried and oily than what I'm accustomed to. Overall, a cute and tasty place. I will definitely be back for the pho. read more
