Vietnamese · Newcastle upon Tyne
Vietnamese cooking in the middle of Newcastle, and the kind of place families come back to for the pho — the rare and cooked beef version gets singled out again and again for its tender meat and sweet, comforting broth, and the wok-fried morning glory with garlic and the grilled pork and prawn rolls are worth ordering alongside. The corn has its own small fan club. It's a compact room, twelve or so tables, so it's cosy rather than roomy; there's buggy access and high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options, and much of the food is naturally gluten-free. Portions are generous and prices reasonable, and they'll box up leftovers. Worth knowing: when it's busy, service slows and orders occasionally go astray, and there are no fans, so summer afternoons get warm. One parent called it "a quiet delight".
