This is one of the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant I’ve been too, I loved the food here! The food was fresh, and flavours was perfectly balanced. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. Portions were generous. This place truly captures the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!

Absolutely amazing food—everything was so tasty and full of flavor. The lamb chops, chicken, and tofu were all delicious. Lovely bar too, and hands down the best spicy marg I’ve ever had. Would be back in a flash! Great service too 🙂

This family-run restaurant brings over 23 years of tradition to their second location, and it truly shows. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a space that feels both thoughtful and inviting, with lively upstairs seating or a cozy downstairs atmosphere.
The food reflects authentic Vietnamese flavors inspired by Ho Chi Minh City and the energy of Ben Thanh Market. Each dish is beautifully prepared, well-balanced, and full of captivating spices—from presentation to the final bite.
Paired with warm, attentive service, this is more than just a meal—it’s a memorable dining experience. A wonderful spot for dinner if you’re looking for genuine hospitality and bold yet refined flavors.

Compared to the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, this was setup quite nice. Food was good although paying 2.50 pounds for fried egg for the com suan seem a bit steep. Service was fine.

We recently had lunch here because I was craving Asian comfort food.
The food is good — especially the lemongrass chicken with rice, which is a standout. It has a legit Asian flavour, tastes fresh, and is nicely presented.
The drinks are a bit expensive for what they are — £5 for a small glass that’s mostly ice (we tried the calamansi juice and lemongrass juice).
Service-wise, our food came about 10 minutes apart. That’s not ideal, because by the time my dish arrived, my husband was already finishing his. If he had waited for me, his food would’ve gone cold. That said, I’m giving them some grace since they’ve only just opened and are probably still working out their kitchen timing and coordination.
Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back.

Walk ins only. Avoid getting seated downstairs (where the only table for large groups is) as it is currently decorated like a storage room. That might be a symptom of being newly open, though.
We’ve enjoyed their main restaurant on Kingsland Road that has a more extensive menu with dishes meant sharing, family style. The new pho bar on Commercial Street has a street food style menu with mains dishes designed as individual portions.
Food was authentic, delicious, but pricey compared to nearby joints with similar menus. However food at Song Que is really superior to run of the mill Viet cafes. We started with lamb chops and green papaya salad with prawns. Lamb chops were grilled with a delicious sticky marinade, garnished with quick pickled daikon and carrot, and served with a khmer style dipping sauce of lime and pepper. The only complaint was small serving size after trimming the two chops of fat. The salad was rather small too but pungent with herbs including sawtooth coriander. A lot of the basic Vietnamese cafes scrimp on authentic herbs which are more trouble to source and prevent the dish from being prepared wholly in advance to be served straight from the fridge.
My companion had the grilled chicken rice bowl as a main. Chicken thigh was juicy and aggressively grilled. It wasn’t cooked over charcoal, but there was nevertheless blackened areas with a nice smokey char. My pho with rare beef was really good. Pho is a real test for a Vietnamese cafe, because the dish stands or falls on the tastiness of the bone broth,. Plenty of fresh herbs to throw in, perfectly chewy noodles, thin slices of beef still blushing when it reached the table.
There are cheaper Vietnamese cafes nearby but Song Que stands out for authenticity and food quality. Song Que is licensed and the house red is £30 a bottle.

The food at Song Que never ever disappoints! So I’ve been excited for this new spot to open. The spicy margs was perfect, the lamb chops tasted incredible and my all time favourite the chicken pho was delicious. Very generous portions, beautifully decorated and it’s clear to see a lot of love has been poured into the making of this restaurant. Easy 10/10 from me!

It was a cold day and I wanted something warm and soupy and this place did not disappoint! The spring rolls were crispy and the pho had a clean and delicious broth that was perfect for the cold weather. The noodles and meat were very good as well. It’s a Vietnamese family ran restaurant for over 20 years so you know it’s good!
