Hoa Phuong
Authentic Vietnamese Street Food in Elephant and Castle
In the bustling heart of Elephant and Castle, Hoa Phuong stands as a testament to authentic Vietnamese street food. This modest, cash-only establishment offers a menu that pays homage to traditional flavours, with dishes like bún bò Huế leading the charge. The spicy beef noodle soup is a symphony of lemongrass, shrimp paste, and tender cuts of beef, capturing the essence of Vietnam in every spoonful. Complementing this are offerings like grilled pork with noodles and crispy spring rolls, each prepared with meticulous care and a deep respect for culinary tradition. Despite its unassuming exterior, Hoa Phuong has garnered attention from food enthusiasts and critics alike. The Infatuation highlights its bún bò Huế as a must-try, noting the rich broth and perfectly cooked meats. The Good Food Guide recognises it as a local gem, emphasising the quality and authenticity of its offerings. With limited seating and a focus on takeaway, this spot has become a cherished destination for those seeking genuine Vietnamese flavours without the frills. Open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, Hoa Phuong invites patrons to experience a slice of Vietnam in South London.
