The Viet Hoa was my favourite for years, but definitely went down hill after the minor re-furb. But fret not! there is light at the end of this particular Viet tunnel.
I moved to Camberwell last year, and whilst walking down Camberwell Church Street saw a very tacky (as only the Vietnamese can) but clean looking small Viet restaurant called The Hoa Viet. In the window is a top review by none other than Fay Maschler (for it was she...)
Apparently, some friends of Maschler's who lived nearby and were regulars there had asked her for a top recommendation in Paris as they were off there for the weekend. She duly obliged with some top of the range Michelin place, but requested they return the favour. Without hesitation they recommended the Hoa Viet, she duly went along, and gave it top marks.
The place really is a gem, the family who run it are lovely, with dad a big smiling caricature of Vietnamese hospitality, the portions are huge, the veg and herbs etc are very fresh, it is very cheap (no credit cards) and they even have Hue Beer.
Get the 35 from virtually outside the Viet Hoa all the way to Camberwell Green, and its about 1 min walk down Church Street on your right. (or the 42 from Bishopsgate)
The best Vietnamese food I have had outside Viet Nam.
