Viet 80's Restaurant

Nice warm atmosphere. Helpful and lovely staff Food was quite authentic, and different from your regular Chinese takeaways. Had the Spicy Beef Soup (mains) and Bamboo shoots stir fry with beef. The flavours are quite mellow and more of an infusion with herbs. I was pleased to find they didn’t use excessive sauces or oil in their dishes. Food seemed quite simple and healthy. I couldn’t give 5 stars because taste was not to my personal preference as I am more accustomed to strong Asian flavours and spices. However, this is not a fault of the restaurant as Vietnamese flavours are different from other cultures. So I commend them for staying true to their cuisine and pleased to have this place to experience authentic Vietnamese cooking. Definitely recommended 💯

Thoroughly enjoyed dipping our toe into Vietnamese cuisine here! The staff are absolutely wonderful as mentioned on many other reviews. Free unlimited tap water or green tea when you enter. We had a spring rolls that were great, and the belly pork was a highlight for sure. Beef with bamboo and (huge) prawns with noodles were both good. Chilli special fried rice rounded it off. Enjoyed sharing a mix of dishes here. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Vietnamese meal in Notts!

Absolutely delicious. Ordered the wings and special fried rice and I was blown away. The wings were so flavourful and the rice was perfectly cooked. Both dishes were so fresh, authentic and exceeded my expectations. The staff were really lovely and attentive which made the experience even better. It’s a shame I don’t live in Nottingham because I’d be here all the time!

One of my favourite go to restaurants in the city centre. Always greeted with fresh green tea upon arrival (with free top ups). Food is freshly prepared and arrives promptly. The seating area, especially the chairs, can be improved to offer the customers a more comfy dining experience. Overall, a good Vietnamese themed restaurant at the heart of the town centre. If you like soups, you will be pleasantly surprised with what they offer 🍜

This is my first time visiting the restaurant, and it was fabulous! 👍 The restaurant had traditional decor, different types and sizes of tables, comfortable chairs, and well-adjusted lighting. 😊 The food was excellent, and the drink was astonishing! The staff were also friendly and professional, making my experience very delightful. 😃 I hope to visit the restaurant again in future. 🥰

Visited Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet, took a table immediately and the waiter took some time to run through the menu and make some recommendations. Got both the pork and prawn summer rolls, along with the spring rolls, for starter. All of it was very tasty, the pork a bit less impressive than the other two versions. For mains it was the pho with beef (2 versions) and the pork chops with the salad, all of it very satisfying. The portions were big, the pricing on the high end per dish but still reasonable, the food well prepared, presented and tasty - was missing only that "something" to make it stand out. The place is decorated with bright colours and has a few interesting touches, overall a nice experience and a safe choice to dine out.
