| A pub in [[Locale Borough|Borough]] near [[Elephant And Castle Station|Elephant & Castle Station]], serving Vietnamese food. |
A pub in [[Locale Borough|Borough]]/Elephant and Castle, serving Vietnamese food. It is an old estate pub in the Rockingham Estate which has been taken over by a Vietnamese family. They also do takeaway and delivery, possibly under a number of different names (different parts of the interweb seem to think the food part of the business is called Pacific Kitchen, Saigon Rose, or Mint Restobar). [[secretlondon]] spoke to them about it and they say the only correct name is Pacific Kitchen. Older menus to eat in say "Saigon Restaurant and Bar" which the owner told me is incorrect. |

[[Bob]] visited on a Monday in June 2008, and was the only customer. Guinness was £3.30, and was drinkable. They may sometimes have real ale; there was a Greene King IPA pump clip which was turned around on my visit. |

[[secretlondon]] visited in November 2008. She was the only person eating (or drinking) but half the pub was partitioned off for a marketing group. There were three handpumps with the clips turned round. I expect they date from a previous owner. They had a normal range of draught lagers and some wine and bottled cider. They also had bottled Vietnamese beer which the owner got for me - Huda Beer from the Hue Brewery <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3007906323/ photo]</small>. |

I then had Bo La Lot (grilled beef wrapped in Betel Leaves) for £7.50. It came with the same salad and some vermicelli <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3007915423 photo]</small>. Not realising it came with noodles I got some egg fried rice (£1.90) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3007912583 photo]</small>. I then had Che Dau <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3008814282 photo]</small>, black-eyed bean pudding (£3). |

They seem to do a wider range of Vietnamese dishes than [[New Loong Kee Cafe, SE5 0HB|New Loong Kee Cafe]] or [[Hoa Viet, SE5 8QZ|Hoa Viet]]. One that caught [[secretlondon]]'s eye was Bo Nhung Dam (beef in vinegar and coconut juice). They sell that for £30 for two people. Beef with mixed seafood in vinegar with coconut juice was £50 for two. [[secretlondon]] has no idea if this is a special dish. |
