Hoa Sen - London

The street ambiance is good, albeit noisy. The family service is fast and friendly, with a very good selection of cuisine at a reasonable price.

The pho here is delicious and I made a reservation in advance knowing how busy they can get. However, when I visited on a Thursday evening, it wasn't too crowded and I was seated immediately upon arrival, which was efficient. Unfortunately, I felt rushed during my meal as the staff quickly cleared our table as soon as we finished eating. I was surprised when they tried to take away my friend's unfinished food. The women at the counter also seemed to be staring at us. To top it off, the bill was brought to us without us asking for it, and there was minimal interaction with the staff, which made me feel unwelcome. Despite only being there for an hour and there not being a long queue outside, the rushed service left a negative impression on me.

The food was fantastic, I especially loved the house pho combo and the other dishes we tried. The service was quick, although they may have been a little overeager to clear the table as they tried to take away our plates and bowls before we had finished. Aside from that, the food was excellent and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere.

Delicious food with prompt service. This was my first time experiencing vietnamese cuisine. I have to say it was marvellous experience, I enjoyed crab parcels, squid and a spicy monkfish curry. The flavours danced around in my mouth. I will be back another time with friends to try something new.
