A small Vietnamese banh-mi shop in Hackney Central, also serving noodle salad and soup, priced £4.50-£5.50 photo of menu. They also offer various meal deals including a half baguette with soup or noodle salad for £6.50.

On an August 2014 visit, Bec had spicy tofu, which was served with shredded salad, fresh chilies and hot sauce. It was the perfect degree of hotness - neither underwhelming nor overpowering, though extra hot sauce could be added for more heat. Though it was near closing time, the bread was fresh and delicious. I also had a traditional lemonade, bringing the total cost under £7.

There is limited seating - a bench near the window with about four chairs. I don't think there is a customer toilet, however I didn't ask.

Bec's verdict: A definite winner - I'd go back again to sample the noodle salad meal deal.

Accessibility: step free, but quite cramped.

Last visited by Bec August 2014. Opening hours verified on that visit.
