Viet Lane

Viet Lane is pretty much our go to on a Friday evening when I cant be bothered. Or Im already on my second gin. What we love most about here is that its consistently excellent food and great value for money. And this week was no exception. For entree we shared popcorn prawns and, breaking away from the usual fresh rolls, chicken skewers. (Top tip, the fresh rolls are excellent but dont save them and have them the next day. Clearly the word fresh is a clue.) The Favourite Husband always insists on telling me the prawns are so moist to the point where I may have to leave him behind next time. The chicken skewers were good, a real bbq charcoal flavour. Presentation was a tiny bit negligent. The Favourite Husband had Shaking Beef and it was no surprise that we then had to suffer his commentary about how it wasnt moving or even trembling. (Hes definitely being left behind next time.) I resorted to my favourite of H Ni Grilled Pork Noodles. The depth of flavour with this dish is phenomenal and resolutely remains my favourite. My only issue last night was when the Favourite Husband was asked if he wanted another drink and declined; the server walked away. Hello?! Sitting right here with an empty glass. Dont make out Im invisible - please and thank you. Without that it would be 5 stars.

Edit April 2023. Ok, definitely back to 5 stars. The food was amazing with several vegan and gluten free options. Service was friendly and was a nice atmosphere. So they have sorted out the problems mentioned below and I'm happy to recommend Viet Lane. Edit Feb 2023. Very disappointed that my booking was confirmed via email and then I got a call about a 1/2 hour later to say they have had to cancel my booking as they are full. I feel they need to improve their systems so I don't get a confirmation that they can't honour. Previous review from 2022 Very nice food. They have a few vegan and gluten free options. The service was not great. We had to wait quite a while for drinks to arrive and then one of the mains seemed to have been forgotten and there was no check made. We had to ask for it while the rest of the group waited.
