Chelsea, Vietnamese Restaurant Guide

“A delightful cheap ’n’ cheerful option in the middle of the gilded streets of Chelsea”: this Vietnamese street-food operation occupies part of a cute courtyard development just off the King’s Road and you can pig out relatively cheaply on the “formidable laksa and rice dishes”. ‘Colourful ‘Phat Phuc’ t-shirts and caps are available to purchase’ from the stall: the name, of course, means ‘Happy Buddha’.

The “simple but tasty Vietnamese food in a relaxed atmosphere” at ex-Hakkasan chef Jeff Tan’s South Kensington venue is “all you really want in a local Asian restaurant” (and rather different from his street-food outfit Viet Food in Chinatown).
