L'ambiance
Dzo! Viet Kitchen is Islington’s quietly charismatic Vietnamese spot that punches above its weight on Upper Street. You’ll find a bright, cream-walled room softened by rattan lamps and rubber plants—a perfect backdrop for small plates designed for sharing. The menu is playful and thoughtful, with dishes like garlic-lemon grass fried goat and crispy salted egg prawns that prove Vietnamese food can be both fun and sophisticated. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger over a Saigon beer, elbows on the table, because the food rewards slow eating.

A Bright, Shareable Vietnamese Gem
Dzo! Viet Kitchen has become a standout on Upper Street, offering a refreshing take on Vietnamese cuisine that feels both authentic and approachable. The space is a delight—bright, airy, and decorated with just enough character (think rattan lamps and lush plants) to feel inviting without trying too hard. The small plates format encourages exploration, and the kitchen delivers with dishes that are bold in flavour but never overwhelming. The goat, fried in heaps of garlic and lemongrass, is a particular highlight—tender, aromatic, and utterly satisfying. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, often offering suggestions that elevate the experience. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly what you want from a neighbourhood Vietnamese spot: great food, good vibes, and a reason to come back.

Dzo! Viet Kitchen s’impose comme une pépite sur Upper Street, proposant une cuisine vietnamienne à la fois authentique et accessible. L’espace est un vrai plaisir : lumineux, aéré, avec juste assez de caractère (lampes en rotin, plantes luxuriantes) pour être accueillant sans en faire trop. Le format des petites assiettes encourage l’exploration, et la cuisine livre des plats au goût audacieux mais jamais écrasant. La chèvre, frite dans une abondance d’ail et de citronnelle, est un vrai coup de cœur : tendre, parfumée, et absolument délicieuse. Le service est amical et compétent, suggérant souvent des plats qui subliment l’expérience. Ce n’est pas du luxe, mais c’est exactement ce qu’on attend d’un bon restaurant vietnamien de quartier : une bonne cuisine, une ambiance sympa, et une raison de revenir.
