Go South Kensington: Reviews & Ratings
I just found this restaurant before I gonna to visit V&A museum. I just tried their another one in Soho! But I have to say this one is really out of my expectation!! Please try their beef pho! They use ld 16 hours to make the soup based!! Their beef pho is the best pho in the UK!! I am not being dramatic! The soup is kind of have some magic! Look really clear but actually a lot favour inside!! I also highly recommend their foie gras boneless chicken wings!! What a wonderful way to put two most delicious food together!!
We were feeling a bit homesick on our holiday when we found a charming Vietnamese restaurant after our tour. The food was incredible—like a warm hug from grandma with the very first bite! The pho was rich and comforting, surprisingly MSG-free, and perfect with just their homemade chili sauce (even better than Sriracha). The green beans and iberico pork rice dishes were just as flavorful. Bernard was so kind and welcomed us into his restaurant like he was welcoming us into his home. You can really taste the love and care in every dish. We can’t wait to come back and visit next time!
Boneless chicken wings! Absolutely amazing Loved every dishes. The prown rice noodles is so tasty, a must try! Also Big love for the pho. Everything is amazing! Even the cherry tomato is sooo tasty
Amazing Vietnamese restaurant, we had their bun (cold rice noodle), beef pho & sticky ribs - all were so delicious. I would highly recommend the bun!!! Vegan friendly as well, our friend got vegetarian summer rolls, okra and rice which was delicious as well. The pandan dessert is a must order.
It's such a lovely spot in Kensington! We stopped by Go London today and absolutely loved it. The pho soup was incredible—comforting, rich, and full of flavour. You can really taste the care in every spoonful. A special thank you to Bernard, who made the whole experience even better with his kindness and thoughtful service. He brings such a warm, welcoming energy to the place. Can’t wait to come back!
The best PHO in town. Very fragrant that we didn't need to add any sauces to it. We had the wagu beef..octopus was really good, so were the slow cooked ribs and the green berns
A very good find in the area for Vietnamese food. Personally, I think it is a bit of a fusion Vietnamese food. Service was very efficient and friendly. Good came out fast. I wish the pho was a bit hotter in temperature. The taste was on point. Especially when they advertise as no MSG. The highlight was the crispy Lamb. Definitely a must try if you like lamb. Recommended make reservations if you come during the peak hours.
Go Viet offers a sleek, modern twist on Vietnamese dining—minimalist decor, warm lighting, and attentive service. It’s refreshingly calm compared to its Soho sister Viet Food but still buzzing with energy, booking ahead is wise Chef’s Platter (Starter) beautifully curated tasting board of wild prawn summer rolls, Bo la lot parcels, and crispy spring rolls. Baby Ribs: the picture says it all - these were a standout for us. Scallops: seared to perfectionserved in a coconut. Bun Thit Nuong: Grilled sirloin over vermicelli, with crisp cucumber, herbs, peanuts, and fish sauce. A popular classic—fresh, balanced, and comforting .
