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.

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.

We were helped by Tom, a particularly friendly and caring team member, and the ambience and cleanliness of the establishment are both first-rate (I spent a good ten minutes admiring a beautiful mural painted on one of the walls). Having enjoyed the food of countless Vietnamese restaurants throughout the Vietnamese enclaves of Southern California, I can confidently recommend Bui Vien to the self-proclaimed foodie and Battersea local alike.

Flavours were a bit muted and the portion of chicken was much smaller than the pictures made it seem. The lines were long for lunch but we had ordered in advance and so it was ready when we arrived. Little things annoyed me like the lack of customisation in the bowls and the fact that I specifically requested chopsticks that they didn't provide. The bowl didn't have much in it besides noodles and a very small portion of chicken. I think the price was fine for what it was but I don't think I'd order again.
