Song Que in Hackney

If you want authentic Vietnamese food in London look no further. The portions are generous, the flavour and quality of the food is amazing and the staff are friendly and attentive. 100% recommend.

Always great for an inexpensive meal with a fun atmosphere, food is good, not overwhelming but worth the experience and good value, love the green lobster bar

Popped in after work and I had lovely service with a smile and a great chilled atmosphere. Nothing fancy real honest hearty authentic cuisine. Bonus that they are also open till late evening. Would recommend and would come again.

Iconic! Very fresh and yummy, feels just like Vietnam :)

Best restaurant to enjoy authentic vietnamese food in London! Really loved the vibe and all the dishes I had 🤍🇻🇳

My family had a good time enjoying the ice Vietnamese food offered in this restaurant

£31 for hot beef mixed pho and spring roll, beef and bun. Quick service, big serving, delicious!

I got the prawn curry and egg fried rice, and it was the BEST curry I’ve ever had. Fresh balanced flavours; it nourished my soul. Highly recommend.

This place has gained so much popularity since I was introduced to it years ago. Because of this, it was extremely busy and loud but that’s also part of its charm! Food so delicious and staff incredibly sweet. Thank you Sông Quê family!

Tai was such a lovely waiter - really attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and considering we were a large group there was no wait time!!

Men’s toilet smells and is in need of a deep clean.

Went for my wife’s birthday. There was a group of 10 of us. Fantastic food! Amazing service and they were so helpful with the birthday cake!! Highly recommend!!!

I was blown away with food so delicious really test you have to try spring rolls and The Pho beef combo SO our out of this world. And the staff are so friendly

ngl I’m not sure why this place is so hyped, it’s been on my list for a while and went tonight for the first time. I’ll start by saying the service was excellent, but the food… not so much. There was a small bug crawling on the plate of spring rolls, and my papaya salad had a large hair in it as he was handing it to me…. quite shocking on both accounts!! The pho broth was not deep enough and lacked salt, the beef was nice and tender but the whole thing in general just felt meh - have had way better in London. Oh well.

Good food every time at a reasonable price. I’d recommend going here and getting any soup dish ☺️

I've been coming here for the last three years, and the food is consistently amazing. The flavors are top-notch, and the quality never disappoints. However, due to how good the food is, the wait can sometimes be a bit longer than expected. It's definitely worth it, but just something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry!

Best Vietnamese spot on Kingsland road therefore best in london. Richard was lovely server

Amazing, just like in the movies!

Excellent. Authentic. delicious

A star was born - I walked in expecting a good dinner, I walked out having had an amazing dinner. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, an epicurean delight!

Lovely food great price great service

Celebrated my birthday here. Had a lovely time

Food great, staff great and great prices!

The food was bland with no flavour. I recommended getting a vegan option instead which had much more flavours.

The food was great but the dishes were dirty 🤢I was with some colleagues so decided to stick it out not to ruin the lunch for everyone, but if I were by myself I’d have got up and left. Multiple dishes had stains on them, as if they were unwashed and I felt very disgusted.

The food was OK but salty. The toilet had an awful smell

We've missed this restaurant. We used to come here quite often as it's one of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants in London. We haven't had the chance to visit lately. We finally were able to come visit again today. The food and service is still as great as ever. Highly recommended!

Quite literally the best Vietnamese food I have eaten. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will see you soon.

Amazing authentic cuisine with some of the fastest service I’ve ever seen. Would highly recommend

Food is absolutely stunning everytime I go there! The best Pho in London I believe. The staff is always quick and nice 😊

Amazing, come back weekly - the best Vietnamese in Hoxton if not London.

Been here multiple times and it never disappoints!

Lovely food, staff and atmosphere

Best soup. Best vibe. Best place to go 5x every time I visit london.

Food is lovely and service is good. It is super busy, so wouldn’t go if you’re after a calm meal . Some good vegan options, only would suggest they identify these a bit clearer as seem to luno vegan and vegetarian together. Service was great but wasn’t included in bill, I think they’re doing themselves a disservice as no one has cash nowadays and there’s no option to include within the standard payment so ended up tipping way less just because we had no cash!

Been coming here for over 25yrs and food is always amazing. So happy to see it’s always busy with customers.

lovely food and super sweet service

Loved it so much! Wonderful servers, very attentive. Perfect for my best friend (Roo)s Birthday. You guys are fabulous and we always love coming here. My favourite dish was the black beans and prawns! 🤸‍♂️

Delicious, tasted just like it did in Vietnam :)

A large and hugely popular Vietnamese restaurant serving a delectable variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes. The restaurant is located at a busy road intersection. The restaurant has a wide dining area with plain decor providing a very casual and relaxed setting. There's usually a queue for tables during busy times. Even during busy times the service is prompt as they have a large and effective team of waiting staff.

Great food and fun vibes. Great group dinner dynamic.

Good traditional food! Recommended

Love this place a london classic. Great vibe, service and food, would be great for a large group as well as two person. Vintage, old school interior, cinematic.

After some disappointing pho soup in Budapest, I tried this one. What a difference, this is how it should be. Delicious, exiting and authentic soup. They have a special lunch offers too. £ I highly recommend if you want authentic Vietnamese food

Soooo yum best Vietnamese I’ve had out of New Zealand! Will travel up from South West to come back here. 10/10

Service is quick. Very nice food and reasonably priced!

Went for a dinner with my friend, service was great and the food was top notch!!!

Delicious food! Very good address for Vietnamese food, will be back soon!

Love love love!!! Authentic vietnamese food, and service is very quick. Thank you so much, our family loved it.

Delicious !!!! Highly recommended

Very good food and dedicated waiters

This is my go to Vietnamese restaurant on the Kingsland rd. Always delicious, service is friendly and they’ll always fit you in if they can!

Great food and service, and very cheap!

The veggie spring rolls, pork chops, pho, and iced coffee were all amazing, no frills but incredible food and great service!

Very generous portions, beef pho and spicy crispy squid was amazing, always full which is a clear sign of good food. Fast service and attentive staff.

Insane food! So delicious and the team are super friendly and efficient

Wow, super authentic vietnamese food. It came out super quickly, the food was super fresh and flavourful. Heaps of seats but was super busy and vibey local spot. Will be back here again. The spring rolls were legendary.

Great food and great people, loved it so much highly recommend

Wow. This was unreal. No notes.

Delicious place and so reasonable. Highly recommend. Spring rolls and Vietnamese curry unreal!

The best Vietnamese you’ll find in London

Can I say this is the most authentic and delicious viet restaurant I’ve ever been? And is just 10 mins by walk from Columbia flower market. We had 1 beef noodle soup (you can taste authentic flavours of beef broth and rare beef), 1 traditional pancake with prawns (crunchy and delicious, with the traditional herbs alongside omg! ) and finally the stewed caramelised fish, chef recommendation, with boiled rice, the fish just melts in your mouth, strongly recommend these dishes! Staff very friendly

One of the best places in London

Super popular and I don’t know why. mien Tay down the street is better and I regret not going there today. Thought I should try it out but the seats are tightly packed, table paper was already dirty with flecks of soup. And the rare steak pho just wasn’t very good. The meet was not flavourful and the soup was MSG flavoured with little depth. Quite disappointed

Very authentic fresh food, no frills and reasonably priced

Amazing food and great service!

Good value of money , big portion , quite authentic

Amazing atmosphere & food. Will visit again.

Best Vietnamese food in the area

Haven't eaten here for about 10 years but friends really wanted to go so made a booking for tonight and despite being a Tuesday it was heaving when we arrived - with a queue down Kingsland Road. Even though we arrived on time with a booking we had to wait a while for the table to be ready. We ordered a selection of dishes which were ok, some better than others but overall nothing outstanding. There are far better Vietnamese restaurants in East London (and I've been to Vietnam). The toilets were filthy which makes me nervous about the state of the kitchen. The decor hasn't been touched since my last visit (possibly not cleaned properly either as everything I am wearing smells of cooking oil) and despite asking for water for the table twice it never materialised which was a shame as the caramelised fish was so salty I am still thirsty hours later. Unlikely to return based on this visit.

Always will be one of the best and worth the wait if need to!

The food is always so good and the cocktails were delicious too 😍

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

Great food and lovely informal atmosphere as always! Tanh was a great server - helpful with our order when we were unsure how much to choose for our party of 6 and just. Nice person in general. See you soon Song Que

They cleared the table beautifully because they took about 11 plates at a time!! The food was delicious we loved it very much! Hope we can come back.

The whole team were amazing and made the birthday we were celebrating feel so special x

Super popular jaunt near Hoxton Overground station. Service is quick. The starters — soft shell crab, salt and pepper squid, prawn summer rolls — were fresh and tasty. The staple bun had excellent spicy garlic fish sauce and generous serving of grilled pork and spring rolls. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in this city.

Well worth a visit, great authentic Vietnamese in the heart of Hoxton.

Amazing place with good price and very nice waiters. Waitress was sooo nice

Very dapper day vibes with the crystal chandelier against the almost mint green floor to ceiling colour that makes this long-established Vietnamese restaurant a standout amongst a street of many others offering the same fare. Local aunties can be seen gathered around larger tables reminiscent of how Chinese cafes are set up. Service is quick and efficient with actual Vietnamese staff in the front (who are very sweet and happy if you can actually say some of the dishes in Vietnamese - you can see it makes their day seeing you enjoy the dishes of the homeland). Don't worry, a fully English menu with pictures of some of the popular dishes is available. Also, how cute is the store front printed as the logo - on the business cards and take out bag? Very French bakery vibes. I guess you can truly say this is a place reflective of influences. Prawn crackers are given on the house to munch on whilst you peruse the menu for common sought-after dishes as well as a range of things I haven't seen elsewhere. I was keen to try the caramelised fish - sweet, sticky, spicy, and umani. What a great pairing with freshly boiled rice. I also get excited anywhere I can see banh khot (appears on the menu as prawn muffins, which I find endearing), so I ordered that too. It was crispy but anaemic. I felt it was lacking in the coconut taste I've fallen for in other establishments, but it's still a savoury mini pancake, so I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Food is great and the service is quick and efficient.

Amazing food, friendly service. Deservedly popular but meant it was quite busy and very loud. Otherwise a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely place! Highly recommend.

Best Vietnamese in London and very reasonable.

Delicious food and great service!

Superb pho. Lunch deals are good, too.

Friendly and attentive team looked after us during our Sunday afternoon lunch. It was busy and a buzzing atmosphere. loved the summer rolls and the sauce they came with was a lovely balance of spicy and flavourful. I was happy to see they had an alcohol free peroni and my partner had the Vietnamese iced coffee - yum. We shared the beef pho - all ingredients tasted really fresh. Will definitely be back 🥰

Authentic Vietnamese food. Quick service. Reasonably priced.

Great food, very reasonable price (especially for London), friendly service (thank you Than!)

Incredible food. Best spring rolls we’ve ever had - also obsessed with the crispy pancake. Got sat so quickly even though it was really busy. Amazing service and food

Loved it amazing food and people !!

Lovely staff, delicious food! Thank you!

Far and away my favorite Vietnamese in the neighborhood.

Amazing foods . ❤️❤️❤️❤️, 100out of 10 , definitely we will come back again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This restaurant is always busy..which says enough! Despite being busy the service is usually very very fast, I come here often within my lunch break. I always get the rare steak pho which I highly recommend if you like beef. All the dishes look great. Would recommend 👍

Spectacular Vietnamese food for a very reasonable price! Will definitely come back again :)

Not bad except the price a bit high

This place was buzzing!! Packed with people queuing outside waiting to get a table. The service was excellent and the food was wonderful, especially the spicy fried squid - to die for! Would definitely visit again.

There are probably better Vietnamese restaurants in London if you’re prepared to dedicate many weekends looking for them, but why bother when Song Que exists? It’s been here forever for a reason. Trust in Song Que

Have been coming for years. It’s just absolutely divine Vietnamese. Great dishes, buzzy spot and well priced.
