More photos of the special are here.

Andy at Little Hanoi very kindly offered to cook as an authentic Bun Bo Hue. All we had to do was bring a big enough group to eat it all.

Needless to say the result was superb, best we've ever had. Unfortunately we can't rate it as you can't just walk in off the street and order it.

If you can get a big enough group (10 or more together) I'm sure Andy will get it together for you. Needless to say, drop us an email so we can come along too!

A new comer to the Kingsland road, we had to step in and try it out.

This typifies what we would describe as an average bowl. Tasty, but nothing really standing out. Stock was reasonably spicy but lacking any real herby fragrance.

Good for: Friendly prompt service.
Bad for: Slightly small portions and fatty beef.

Four chilli rated

24, Evelyn St, Deptford, London, SE8 5DG.

Andy at Little Hanoi recommended this one to us and it didn't dissapoint.

Similar to Hong Van with a wonderfully spicy and herby stock. No chilli sauce required.

Packed full of Vietnamese diners, I have been back since and people are waiting on the pavement to get in.

No complaints whatsoever. A real top notch bowl.

Good for: Wonderful bowl of Bun bo Hue.
Bad for: A bit off the beaten track
