   Unfortunately as with a lot of trendy restaurants the table was tiny and sandwiched tightly in between two, 3 panelled Louvre shutters which made it claustrophobic, and dark. Perhaps a covid thing. We ordered 5 dishes and literally 15 minutes later they all turned up at once leaving us scrambling for space. Little plant had to go and water put on the floor. Spring rolls look nice, but were bland not meaty and the diagonal cut made them cold quickly. Sauce was ok. Ribs tasty but over sauced with their sticky sauce, I can see people liking these but I say, salty and overpowering the pork. Whole fish very tasty, the best dish. But all the sauces have a similar theme so we didn’t have a variety of flavours really. Breaded prawns were crispy and soft inside with a Mayo type sauce that was tasty and this dish was different. I think of Vietnamese as more subtle and herby but with the menu that evening it was all a bit “same same but different “ as they say in Asia. We purposely avoided the Pho as we had it many other places. Would have been nice to see the prawn pancakes or other herby dishes that night. We had. Pork ribs, breaded prawns, pork spring rolls, fried sea bass, chicken dumplings. 2 beers £75. Individually and spaced out nice enough dishes, except the spring rolls, But everything turned up at once and made the meal table busy and rushed . We were out in an hour and bloated. 5/10.

   Amazing food, amazing flavours Food prepared with great care. As we are regulars, more veggie/vegan options would be icing on the cake for us but there are still enough to enjoy as is. Fab cocktails too, we love this place.

    Fantastic service, and incredibly delicious food. Loved it so much even bought the book, which Thuy ( the incredible chef signed for me)🙏 We came here after seeing so many delicious pictures spread across the Instagram pages of celebrities, I thought if these guys are raving about it, then I need to go! I wasn’t at all disappointed! The little place has around 10 tables so be sure to book. I think pre Covid there was a few more but the space I. Their is wonderful and you wouldn’t notice where they used to be. You feel distanced from everyone and have plenty of room to pile up the deliciously authentic dishes. As Thuy was originally from Vietnam and has been in london 30 years, she has put a slightly different twist on some of the dishes. Some have a taste of Thailand too, which I love! We’ve been twice in the last week or so as we desperately wanted to try so much in the ever changing menu and didn’t want to miss out.. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but suffice to say, I left satisfied, full and with a beautiful taste In my mouth..

    Wonderful service by the staff, the food arrived quickly at the table and was extremely comforting and tasty. The large plates were quite pricy and the rice portion was slightly less than what would be needed accompanied with a large dish however on a whole, would return and try the rest of the menu!

    We were made to rush our meal, the waiter standing behind our table until we finished eating. I understand the turnarounds are tight, but this was extremely uncomfortable. All our food arrived at once, and the bill was expensive for what we ordered.

    Loved everything about it. The service was the perfect balance of attentive but not encroaching. The food was delicious; we wanted to try everything on the menus but decided upon Pork Spring Rolls, soft shell crab salad and then the beef pho & beef curry completely delicious. Finished off with a mango coconut milk cheesecake which was so light, my boyfriend said it was the the best dessert he’d ever had. Also felt well managed in Covid times. Will definitely be back

    I've been here several times and it's always fantastic. I love the decor, the staff are friendly but professional and the food is delicious. A lot of it is pretty hot so this place might not be for you if you don't like chilli. They also have a few vegan dishes too - I had the tofu and lemongrass curry and the most amazing lemongrass sherbet.

    I love Vietnamese food. I travelled all over Vietnam in 2017 and ate some of the best food I've ever eaten. I'm constantly searching for good Vietnamese in this country and have found some very good ones indeed. The Little Viet Kitchen is by far the best I've found so far. Every dish was outstanding, cooked perfectly with well balanced flavours and excellent ingredients. The restaurant is quaint and inviting with a well stocked bar that serves really good cocktails. The staff and owners were all friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back!!

    The food here is normally excellent but felt it was slightly below par on Friday. Crab salad dressing a bit too sweet for me nd the crab was tasteless. I didn’t particularly enjoy a pork dish roasted for 6 hours but that was totally my fault -I don’t like pork belly fat (doh!) - but was beautifully cooked. My husband really enjoyed pork spring rolls and the beef burger. However, the bill for 2 was £90 which for two courses, one glass of wine and two beers seemed steep. Finally, the menu has been shortened which is totally understandable in these times but there were no pho and no spring rolls. I am sure they will be back when things settle down and we will certainly be back. The staff are terrific.
