A stylish yet casual Covent Garden spot serving authentic Northern Vietnamese flavours and rare regional specialties.
Ordering Strategy
The roasted duck is technically shareable but delicious enough to keep for yourself; solo diners are well-catered for with individual hot pots.

Good to know
The chef imports specific spices like 'hạt mắc mật' directly from Vietnam for the duck; authentic banquets can be organised if you speak to the chef in advance.
