About

Ngon Cafe serves Vietnamese staples including vegan pho, tofu banh mi, vermicelli bowls and crispy lemongrass-chilli tofu, alongside a much larger meat and seafood menu. Reviews praise generous portions, fresh flavours and friendly staff, though service can slow when the compact dining room is busy and some vegan dishes require confirming sauces or availability.
