Can't get any better than Vietnamese authentic food. Both Tay Do Cafe and Restaurant are as good as each other and pricing is great for what you get. Portions are big. You won't be disappointed. I come here regularly and mix it up every now and then and the popular dishes never fail! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

As a local this is where we go as group and is our food spot. The food, the portion, the people, the interior just makes you feel like you’re eating home cooked food in grandparents kitchen with friends. Good for the soul. Highly recommend ! Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Tay Do serves some of the most authentic and flavorful Vietnamese food around. The bun thit nuong, banh xeo, bun cha, pho and Hai Nam Chicken Rice are all top-notch. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and the owner’s passion shines through in both the food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. A true hidden gem — we’ll definitely be back! Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Very poor service. They take cash only (which they keep very hush about until after you 've already ordered) and upon telling the waiter I had no cash on me all I got was a dismissive you can go to Sainsbury 's and I had to head over there in the pouring rain. The Vietnamese iced coffee was very nice but the food itself was nothing special. At the end of the meal we were handed an ineligible hand-written bill. The fact that the establishment was virtually empty despite being dinner time should 've been a warning. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2
