Viet Anh Pho

There’s no lack of brilliant Vietnamese options around Deptford and Greenwich, but it’s Viet Anh Pho’s bánh mìs that are the ones worth seeking out. The Special, which combines lemongrass-heavy pork wrapped in betel leaves, grilled pork slices, pâté, and batons of pickled vegetables is up there with the best fillings around. What it lacks in size—this is a relatively small forearm of a sandwich compared to say, an oil tanker truck-sized thing—it makes up for in porky flavour. The space is perfect for solo dinner or a casual catch-up, and the menu has phở, summer rolls, bún noodle salads, and much much more.
