Food tasted really authentic and the portions were good for the price, plus quite a variety of toppings you can choose with your pho or other soup noodles. Inside felt very authentic and funny with the YouTube videos of people eating in Vietnam. Starters were also decent, I liked the spring rolls and the salt and chilli squid was quite a generous portion. However what ruined the experience for me was the young lady working there. she’s got such a bad attitude and doesn’t seem like she has any training in hospitality and no social etiquette or manners so it felt very alienated dining here and significantly ruined the experience for me. The middle aged gentleman was glasses and the beanie was kind however.

Without a doubt, this is the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever tasted! During my visit to Viet Bresto, I ordered the pho, Vietnamese pancakes (bánh xèo), and papaya salad, and every single dish was outstanding. The flavors were absolutely incredible - authentic and perfectly balanced. What impressed me most was how the food genuinely transported me back to Vietnam. Papaya salad: Absolute perfection - it was the cherry on top! Fresh, vibrant, and crunch. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since and I’m already planning my next visit just to have it again!
Fabulous place. Very thick broth, beef was like butter, fresh herbs, absolutely amazing. We were even given a taster of a new tea blend. Totally recommend .
Gorgeous, fresh, authentic and delicious food. Very fair prices and good portions. The staff are welcoming and accommodating. I was over the moon with the quality of the food and drink and will definitely go back next time I’m in the city centre!
