Historical version 1 of Thanh's Bistro, CR0 6AA (view current version)

Vietnamese restaurant in Croydon, about 5-10 minutes' walk from East Croydon Station.

Kake and bob visited on a Tuesday evening in May 2013. There were a few other people in, but no problem finding us a table despite the small size of the space.

Tofu summer rolls (£5) photo had nicely elastic skins, just about enough herbs, and some well-flavoured tofu, while crispy vegetable rolls (£4) photo were crisp and greaseless.

Bánh xèo (pancake stuffed with prawns and beansprouts; £9) photo was nicely presented and nicely textured. Thịt heo răm (spiced pork meatballs in a tomato sauce; £6.50 not including rice) photo was fine.

A dessert of lemon and ginger tart (£4.50) photo was nicely gingery.

The are unlicensed, but allow BYOB with a corkage charge of £1/person (this seems to be per person at the table, rather than per person drinking).

Last visited by Kake and bob, May 2013. Opening hours taken from Thanh's Bistro website, June 2013.
