Little Vietnam Restaurant

Visited yesterday for an evening meal with my girlfriend.I have a peanut allergy which I told the waitress about. We expressed NO peanuts at all in any dishes we ordered.Despite telling them about my allergy, the summer rolls we ordered STILL came with peanuts in the sauce which I obviously avoided but this is completely unprofessional and clearly the chef was not made aware.After eating one bite of my main course (Wok fried prawn noodle) I had a severe anaphylactic allergic reaction. We notified the manager who began to make various excuses, such as there were 100% no peanuts in the main course and that I could be allergic to something else that I wasn’t aware of and should get it checked out. Clearly though, either there was peanuts in the dish or some cross contamination.We also ordered the pork spring rolls which they guaranteed were peanut free as well.We then asked for the bill - at which point the manager began packing up the dish for us to take home even though I was having a severe allergic reaction to it. We still took it home as we did not want to embarrass the staff or cause a scene. I also had to pay full price because they did not offer compensation, and I was desperate to get home so did not want to waste time arguing for compensation/a refund.When we got home, my condition deteriorated rapidly - I wont post any photos but I broke out in severe hives all over my body so there was clearly some peanuts in the food.Regardless of the allergy, the starters were quite poor - the summer rolls were very overpriced for what you get and the spring rolls were burnt. However, my gf said she did enjoy the pho beef brisket.To conclude, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences of my life with ZERO compensation. Will not be coming back here. I urge anyone with an allergy to avoid this place.

Excellent authentic Vietnamese food. Unlike that UK Chain Pho, this place does authentic stuff. Fresh rice noodle for their traditional Vietnamese pho (beef rice noodle soup) , Vietnamese spring roll wrapped with lettis, summer roll. Traditional home made desserts. Thank GOD Cardiff finally have a quality Vietnamese restaurant that does authentically delicious food!

My friends and I had dinner here for the first time and we loved it! The food was beautiful, presentation was amazing and the service was above and beyond. It felt so homely and we had such a great nightA perfect spot to have a catch up with friends surrounded by good food and amazing peopleThank you for having us, and we can't wait to come back!

Had a fabulous meal here with my two adult children last Friday. We loved everything about it and the lovely owner / manager was really helpful with menu choices and food sensitivities. It was really specialLoved the decor too.. Came very close to not going in because it looked empty but it was an illusion as tables not visible from the windows It was actually busy but our table felt nice private due to the layout allowing good space between tables .. a rarity ! We didn’t feel rushed at all and will definitely be back to try other dishes on the extensive menu

Strongly recommend Pink Guava Drink and Beef Combo Pho. An authentic and delicious taste of Vietnam. But chicken curry is salty and not sweet as I thought. Overall good experience.

True Vietnamese street food with all its freshness, spices, and amazing flavour combinations.The soups and especially the Phō are, contrary to some reviews, exactly how they're supposed to be. Fresh, not overpowering, but perfectly balanced. The summer rolls and salads are great, as well.Highly recommended.Only caveat: card/contactless payment isn't possible right now as the system's broken, so cash payment is necessary. There are a lot of ATMs in the immediate vicinity, though.

Amazing food and friendly attentive staff. Restaurant was clean and welcoming and had a good authentic feel.Would recommend the pho.

The food was good except for the beef curry which my daughter said tasted off (too much coconut milk) however the service was ultra slow as they had a big party for family which seemed to take up all their time. We waited an hour for food. At the end, their card machine wasn’t working. We had to go across the road to try and get cash, but that cash machine wasn’t working either so we had to come back and after some fiddling, their card machine finally worked. Not a place to go if they are busy as they can’t seem to handle the crowd.
