I was in Brighton for a conference in mid-September 2023 and decided to try this Vietnamese…read morerestaurant for an early dinner (5:45pm) on a Wednesday. First, the food quality is good and reasonably priced (13 pounds). I ordered the big bowl pho soup includes noodles, meatballs, and beef with a side helping of bean sprouts to add. It was satisfying and hearty. The only blemish was that the broth had a bit more fat than I would have liked. Location is convenient for visitors to Brighton. It's on Preston Street near the Waitrose supermarket. From the Brighton I-360 tourist attraction, it's about 1-2 blocks north away from the water. From Churchill Square (near the clock tower), it's about a 5-7 minute walk to the west (along the street that is reserved for buses and taxis only). The restaurant is a bit tiny - I would recommend it for solo diner or couples. It's not convenient for a large group. Preston Street has a nice boba tea shop across the way and other restaurants that are worth a look-see. Overall, I would recommend "the Big Bowl" for visitors to Brighton who are looking for authentic Vietnamese pho.

I ordered the Bún cha combo which has vermicelli noodles, grilled pork, chicken and a spring roll. It comes with a dipping sauce that's a mixture of lemon juice, ginger, chilli, garlic and vinegar. It was tasty and cost just under £9. Service was very friendly and nice. I will definitely come back and try other items on the menu!

We bought a tray of "All Salmon love set" Sushi to share and a Udon ( soup) each. She had chicken I had seafood. The salmon in the sushi was tasteless which was such a shame. never had sushi so bland. The soup was ordered and was supposed to be with us in 5 mins and took 35, and when I went to ask about its whereabouts I was told it was in the microwave? When it was bought over the seafood soup consisted of masses of noodles, and dirty dishwater by the looks of it and the seafood was simply 1 breaded prawn shoved in it and what must have equated to half a crab stick shredded in it. Very Poor! I had to get it heated up more as it was cold and i asked if this was the normal standard and was told "Yes so your not missing out on anything? you only get 1 prawn!" well for £5.75 the standard is shocking and had no taste at all other than when you had a small piece of spring onion and obvious fish seasoning placed on top as the rest was bland and tasteless. I tried my daughters chicken one and this was the same (less the fish taste on top) but the breaded chicken was ok but the base "soup" tasted the same - bland and the noodles were fat and awful. An all round memorable experience but for ALL the WRONG reasons. Such a Shame.

I could have sworn I left a review of this place when we were here a year a go... but it is not here. We are going to be back in London in Feb and there are about 5 must do things when we get back... and this is one of them. A year ago we were wandering around this part of London... sort of lost. We know we wanted to have soup so we were stopping at every restaurant and reading the menus. It was a cold misty day so the day screamed SOUP. We were starting to think Londoners don't eat soup! We were about to give up because we had gone past most of the restaurants area when this place appeared. It was small and unassuming. There was a young happy (Portuguese ?) guy serving soup from about 8 or so big kettles of soup with fresh... and really good, bread. We had wandered in tired and wet and that soup was amazing. We had two different kinds (I forget which) and both were just great. It made the evening into something magical, and not dreary, cold, and wet. So we will always return to this place when we have the opportunity to come back to London.

I got the veggie gyoza soup (£8.69) -- premade but not long prior, so it was fresh and hot. The soup came with several gyoza, udon noodles, greens, peas, carrot, eda mame, and sunflower seeds. The broth was miso-based and decently flavourful, amped up nicely by the gochujang that's sitting on the table. If you're looking for a quick, good value meal (from the airport), this is a good bet.

I ordered a gin tonic and it came into this very tiny glass. Little gin tonic was over 10 euros. Moving over to the food, the menu is a mix and match of various Asian foods. I ordered a hot and sour soup with shrimp to start with and it came into this very little bowl with a couple shrimp floating inside. Taste was average, certainly not worth 8 euros or so. As a main I ordered the veggie curry with rice. Veggies were drenched in oil and very spicy (was not asked spice level). It didn't have any flavour tasted like hot spicy oil. Customer service was below average. Although waiters were available to assist when needed I didn't find them very pleasant to communicate with. They weren't very friendly or eager to help. Overall I was excited to experience a high end dining experience at the end of over a month of stressful travelling and it was a fail.

The service was ok, the host was great and explained that you order food up front after you decide from menus and drinks from the bar. It may seem awkward but is actually makes for a quick exit. The real disappointment was the food. We started with the calamari. That was pretty decent. The fry was similar to mozzarella sticks, the portions are huge so easily shareable. I ordered the 18 oz t-bone (medium rare), chips and cesar salad. Plenty of chips, they were longer hot and little soggy by the time they got out. The steak was the real disappointment. The cook was rare bordering on blue with very little seasoning. Additionally there was no sear on the steak and it was real tough. The fibers were present through the meat and it was poorly trimmed resulting in almost a fourth of it being inedible. The cesar dressing was real mayo forward. The atmosphere was great with plenty of folks and you could tell weekends are fun. This may have been an off meal but my food on this trip was not representative of the reviews.
