How we read reviews →St Albans Vietnamese cafe built around nem nuong Ninh Hoa, strong Viet coffee and early starts.
Small, cosy neighbourhood cafe that is roomier inside than it looks, with a morning coffee crowd and a casual lunch rhythm.
Early opening from 6:30am for coffee and breakfast, a short Central Vietnamese-leaning menu, house pandan tea and takeaway nem nuong.
Strong. Nem nuong Ninh Hoa, bun ca and Viet coffee earn comparisons with Nha Trang and Buon Ma Thuot. Longtime fans say recent ownership changes altered the recipes.
Earlier reviews rate it good value. Many recent ones say prices rose while portions and sauces shrank after a change of management.
