I was so so so happy with my bahn mi sandwich. 

We ducked in just before the Metric show at The Forum for a quick bite. I had the crispy pork bahn mi and was told they only had enough meat for a half order, so the other half of the sandwich I could pick another meat! I went lemongrass chicken. Husband grabbed the crispy pork rice bowl.

We were both extremely happy with our orders. The baguette was so fresh, with a crispy/chewy exterior and fluffy interior and a very good size. (I've scaled back my bread/gluten intake considerably, so I am over the moon my choice to eat bread wasn't "wasted" on this meal - that baguette was divine). It had good amount a meat (could have used a tad more) and a great amount of fresh shredded carrot and lettuce, and the peanut sauce was yum yum. 

I didn't try the bowl but it looked exactly like mine, but deconstructed and rice instead of bread.

The service was super sweet and very friendly. More of a takeaway place but better quality ingredients than your average chicken or kebab shop (and the prices reflect that - my bahn mi was £6.50).

Nice healthy lunch option here. The Pho is fantastic and reasonable at £7. They also do very nice looking Vietnamese baguettes which I've yet to try.

There is literally a small table and a couple of stools for seating area, so ideal for a takeaway but if looking to sit in don't bother at peak times i.e. lunchtime.

I expected so much after reading all those good reviews and seeing so many enticing pictures.
The honey caramelized pork was good but way too fatty for my taste. About the pork spring rolls... What a disaster! They were really greasy and totally bland because of the lack of filling. 
As for the delivery service, they were very efficient.

Sweet and simple- you can't go wrong with the well priced and deliciously fresh bahn mi and pho they serve here. The baguette for the bahn mi is rustic and fresh while the pho is delicate and filling. The lemongrass chicken and BBQ pork are both winners but there are solid veg/ tofu options too.
You can sit in or take away (they even deliver locally!) and everyone there seems passionate about making authentic flavours to please the appreciative people of Kentish Town. I will be going back today for my next fill!

I decided to go a bit out of my way to go here for my last meal in London instead of getting airport food for lunch, and I definitely didn't regret it. I dug the sesame garlic bahn mi, especially the bread. While it wasn't quite a traditional baguette, it was delicious. As far as bahn mis go, it was really top notch bread. The sauce was good, although it could have used a little bit of heat. I also got the tofu summer roll which was pretty standard. 

It's all very hip and made for a nice place to sit and people watch. My main complaint is the price. Judging from the rest of the reviews it may be cheap for London but £6 for bahn mi is almost three times what I'm used to paying stateside. Still, if you're in London and hankering for some casual Vietnamese fare, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Cute little Vietnamese place. They have a few options: pho, lunch box with rice or noodles, bahn mi sandwiches, and salads. Not a big menu but plenty sufficient. 

I have been to C+ D multiple times and  really love the place. Simple, fresh, home style cooking without the need for me to cook. I love coming here on weekends for lunch. (Note: they don't open until 12 so don't come too early)

The food is super fresh and tasty. Around 10 pounds per person including meal and drinks. Yum! Will be back often.

This place is sooooo good for delivery when you're too knackered to cook, but want to eat something yummy! I called, ordered and then delicious, fresh, Vietnamese food arrived at our flat within 30mins.

We tried the "vietnamese dinner" which involved noodles, salad, a spring roll (with a choice of dips). I looooved both the pork belly and the honey caramelised pork. 

I am sure I'll go back to try some more of their lovely food.

What a lovely little find! After a long day walking around Highgate cemetery and Hampstead Heath in chilly weather, my boyfriend and I were famished and desperately needed to rest our legs.

We stumbled upon this place which incidentally had some great reviews. The shutters were half down, but we were invited in anyway.

We both opted for the veggie pho. Soon two bowls of fragrant broth were served up, piled high with fresh vegetables, tofu and coriander. We tucked in.

Just the right amount of pho and star aniseed; this was just what we fancied. For Less than £8 it wasn't too expensive either.

We finished our meal with a glass of fresh watermelon juice, which was also delicious and quenched our thirsts perfectly. 

If ever we find ourselves in this part of town again, we will be back!

So glad to have this near home, perfect for a tasty lunch. The barbecue pork is perfect, salads are super fresh and the service is friendly and welcoming.
