𝙂𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙙 🍜 I might be a bit late to the party but I had @tonkotsu.ramenbar on the weekend and I loved it! They’ve just opened a new spot in Kentish Town literally opposite the underground station. I started with pork gyoza, and the King Prawn Katsu which I LOVED, and also the Chicken Karaage, which was a very generous portion for the price but also such good quality. Crispy skin, meaty fillets, a must order! Then we had Tonkotsu, because when in Rome, and also the Chilli Tiger Prawn. I recommend sticking a load of chilli oil in, the whole dish is given a lift when you add heat. The rest of the menu sounds great though and next time I think I’ll be eyeing up the Japanese Mushroom Miso. They pride themselves on making their own noodles with their tagline being “you’re just a soup shop” if you don’t. Also, they have a cocktail called an Umeshu Spritz, which is Tanqueray gin, Umeshu plum wine, Prosecco, picked plum & river leaf, and soda, and it’s DELICIOUS. Make sure you try it, and then finish off with @happyendingsldn. . . . . . #kentishtown #tonkotsu #tonkotsuramen #ramen #ramennoodles #ramenbowl #ramenlover #ramenchallenge #ramen🍜 #ramennoodle #ramenlovers #ramenlove #ramenlife #ramentime #ramenporn #noodles #noodles🍜 #londonfoodblogger #noodleslover #prawns #chilliprawns #foodphotos #foodpicsdaily #foodpicoftheday #foodphotoshoot #foodphotograph #foodphotographer #foodpicture #foodpictures #foodpix (at Tonkotsu Bar and Ramen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUrowI7oDNE/?utm_medium=tumblr

PHO VIETNAM 🍲🍲🍲

THE SHOP

Pho Vietnam was a pleasant find. After years of eating at Nam Son, I stumbled upon this 3 year old shop while wandering the streets of Chinatown. Located down on Chrystie Street, just around the corner from Nam Son, Pho Saigon’s sign is hidden by a large green awning and is easy to overlook. The doorway is a worn red cloth door, behind which is a medium size room with decorations hanging throughout. Warm red tablecloths cover each table, and pictures of house specials are found under the glass tabletops for those who are unfamiliar with the cuisine. 

THE PHO

The menu is filled with all the Vietnamese staples that one could imagine, with a large section dedicated to pho. There is everything from Pho Bo (beef) to Pho Ga (chicken), to Pho Hai San (seafood), and Xe Lau (house special).

The Xe Lau comes in a large deep bowl and includes all of the necessary toppings: Flank, tender brisket, soft tendon, chewy tripe, crispy sliced onion, diced chive and cilantro. The broth is light and elegant, but is slightly un-balanced with a distinct salty note, which is not completely overwhelming, but is certainly noticeable.

Honestly the broth comes very close to being boring, but has just enough to satisfy your palate. The array of ingredients certainly help to keep the bowl lively, as each bite is a combination of textures and savory flavors.

SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE

Abrasive service is the trademark of Chinatown. That being said, when eating at Pho Vietnam, it is easy to forget where you are. The staff is pleasant, and happy to accommodate. Water is refilled without prompt, and the overall disgruntled and passive tone that servers at Nam Son, Pho Grand, and Pho Bang is non-existent.

Pho Vietnam is a spruced up version of its’ surrounding pho suppliers. Floors are grease free, there is no smell of cleaning solution, and dirty dishes are not dumped into a huge tub in the middle of the room to sit for hours. While these notions might seem comical, they are typically mandatory accompanying qualities to a traditional pho shop in Chinatown.  

Pho Vietnam’s service and atmosphere is just as clean as their soup. If you love authentic Pho, but are bothered by Chinatown etiquette, this is the spot for you.
