Que Viet: Shoreditch, London


Que Viet
Date of Visit: 25th November 2013

Ambience
Unfortunately, I don’t remember much about the interior of this restaurant.. most likely because I’m writing this entry 3 months after the visit but it could also be that there was nothing that stood out about the place?

Food
There was an early bird menu which was a set meal consisting of a chosen starter, main course and drink.  We opted for Vietnamese spring rolls and salt and pepper squid to start then for mains a crab/prawn glass noodle and a meat vermicelli.  The spring rolls weren’t bad but the squid wasn’t crispy enough and erred on the limp side.  Neither of the mains were impressive either.  The vermicelli dish lacked flavour and the glass noodles were over-cooked  Furthermore, I think this restaurant needs to work on its presentation of the food.
 
Service
The service was good – the kind waiter even allowed us to order the set menu for take-away.  Everything came in good order and there were no delays from beginning to the end.

Summary
I found the food to be disappointing and improvements can be made to both the food and the presentation especially in a competitive environment of Kingsland Rd.  The only saving grace is the good service but that I’m afraid is not good enough for me to return.
