On the grounds of the old hung viet restaurant stands the new cu tu restaurant. I would never be eaten in hung viet, so I can not say whether this is a new incarnation to avoid some control or is a completely new gaff in his own right, but it certainly has a lived feeling about it. after a week or two of over pampering, which better go away, enter the new year with some healthy foods than a good bowl of Vietnamese nudel soup. it is warming up, soul nourishing and after Christmas it is a **** blessing. the menu in cu tu is a little interesting, I mean, it has all the usual suspicious, but also some other surprises. I haven't seen a goat on a Vietnamese menu before, or maybe I haven't looked hard enough. but this could be a fun place to continue to investigate.
A beautiful atmosphere and the best hospitality they could ask. cu tu is one of the newer spots on the kingsland road. I was trying to try one of the best known names, but that discovered on my way and decided to dive. tom, the manager is a joy. the food was delicious and all so reasonable price with an additional discount. I'm going back to the finals. the dry chilli squid is a must!
Cu Tu is a newer restaurant located on Kingsland Road with a beautiful atmosphere and excellent hospitality. I stumbled upon it while looking for a well-known spot, but decided to give it a try. The manager, Tom, was a delight and the food was delicious. Plus, the prices were very reasonable, with an additional 10% discount. I will definitely be returning. I highly recommend trying the dry chili squid - it's a must!

There are a couple of reasons to seek out Cu Tu especially, though. The banana blossom salad is unusual and not on every menu. Also the deep fried whole fish dishes (try the sea bream with mango) are filleted before frying and then served in a nest constructed from the sculpted fried skeleton. Beats having to fillet the fish yourself at the table, which is the case in most of the restaurants on the Pho Mile where this type of dish is concerned. This restaurant is a BYO.
I asked my friend from Hoxton to recommend me the best Vietnamese on the Kingsland road and after a few drinks on a Thursday night we did one better and went together. This was her choice, but sadly I wasn't as impressed. Sure, it was good and portions sizeable and BYO, but the food wasn't up to my expectations of the best. I had a Vietnamese golden pancake that was basically a pancake wrapped around a stir fry and not much more. The beef and galanga curry I then followed it with was OK but a bit too viscous for my liking. I was looking for something a bit measured and more unique but Cu Tu was quite as good as say Banh Mi Bay in Clerkenwell. However it was still OK and without the...read more
