Anyone recommend a particular vietnamese (or anything else for that matter) around kingsland road? looking for somewhere to go this evening, BYOB would be good

Vietnamese around Kingsland Road? There are loads to choose from at the Shoreditch end but my favourite and the original is Viet Hoa. Also Huong Viet at 12-14 Englefield Road, London, N1 4LS which replaced the Viet Hoa at what was the Vietmanese community centre isn't bad

Anyone recommend a particular vietnamese (or anything else for that matter) around kingsland road? looking for somewhere to go this evening, BYOB would be good

huong viet is just off kingsland road (dalston end) and 1.50 corkage - service isn't great but food is consistently good. down the shoreditch end hanoi cafe is never as busy (or rad sick cool) as song que but the food is better imo

huong viet snap

Mien Tay is awesome, BYOB, good meat and veggie options. http://www.mientay.co.uk/

Ive been to mien tay before and it was lovely but not BYOB?

Always end up in Tay Do because of their tofu/vermicelli bowl. I think meat eaters aren't so into it. £1 "corkage" (opening your beer)

Ive been to mien tay before and it was lovely but not BYOB?

I've always taken my own wine/beer in there?

Went to mien tay in the end, they have a sign now that says no bringing your own, so must have recently got a liscence

Thanks for the heads up, I've not been since before Christmas. Their food is soo good.

Yes it was delicious, already craving more..

Noshing a tatchbrook street falafel RIGHT NOW. Is excellent, as always.

I wish all 'street food' was as cheap as this (£3)

Cafe Blanca
555 Battersea Park Road

Felafel wrap x 2
large Americano (touch of milk)
large hot chocolate
all for a tenner.

Felafel lightly cooked avoiding that burnt budgie-food coating you find on too many felafel,
jalapenos added a hit
and mespilus minimus, along with me to buy & collect his first 'racing bike',
(a Graham Weigh 653)
learnt what the Aztecs appreciated about the combination of chilli (sauce) and cocoa.

I went to brasserie zedel a couple of weeks ago, and other than the decor it was terrible. I would never go again. food was average, service was terrible and it took 1 and a half hours for our food to come (most of which was cold).

sorry to not have a recommendation!

unlikely given its a bit of a wasteland, but any winners in the immediate vicinity of stockwell tube station?

There's lots of Portuguese places around there, I think there is one in particular that forum peeps have rated as per this thread http://www.lfgss.com/thread45058.html: **[O Cantinho de Portugal
