Pretty new cafe and restaurant in St Albans area specialize on nem nướng - grilled pork loaf rolls. Family run business I think. Menu is limited with currently only 6-7 dishes. I guess they want to stick with their specialty so its good too. You can check the menu from my photos. We ordered special nem nướng and fish cake noodle soup. The nem nướng was pretty good but they forgot the noodle on the set for us which was fine. The noodle was just so so. Service was pretty good too. They accept both cash and card but only open until 3pm and closed on sunday. Overall, worth to try out especially if you crave for nem nướng :)

My Vietnamese friend recommended I try the Nem Nuong here, so I ordered it for takeaway and it did not disappoint! The portion was generous, and the flavor was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back for more

Discovered this place through a local friend. Absolutely authentic Viet dishes. We ordered Fish Cake Noodle Soups (Bun Ca) and Fresh Spring Roll with grilled fermented lean pork ball (nem nuong). Amazing. Loved their pan-dan leaves tea too, so addictive. Will keep discovering other dishes when have chance.
