Vietnamese restaurant in Hackney London
Green Papaya, 191 Mare Street, Hackney, London, E8 3QE ...
food
Mare Street doesn’t have quite the array of choice in Vietnamese restaurants as Kingsland Road but quality counts over quantity.
Beyond that ramen bar flourish it is the same independent, basic Vietnamese restaurant that puts its food above all else.The menu is shorter than most but also seems to favour a different take on Vietnamese cuisine.
The crispy squid is always a good benchmark of quality and at Green Papaya it is light, fluffy and full of flavour.
But the purple basil dipping sauce it comes with sets it apart with its rich, spicy zest.Authentic Bun dishes are also amazing.
The Thit Lon is a dish of spicy, sweet thinly sliced pork belly covered in shallots, peanuts, pickles and lettuce on a bed of rice vermicelli and is easily one of the best Vietnamese dishes we’ve tried.
Malibu Kitchen, The Ned, London: Restaurant Review - olive ...
food ambience menu drinks staff
Check out our review of Malibu Kitchen at The Ned, and see if an expert restaurant critic comes to the same conclusion as an olive reader… Our editor Laura Rowe has reviewed restaurants for more than a decade.
It was originally designed by Sir Edward ‘Ned’ Lutyens in 1924, and the restaurants sit in the historical 3,000-square-metre former banking hall, separated from each other by verdite columns and Grade I-listed walnut banking counters.
Malibu Kitchen is all about Californian cuisine, with a menu that includes superfood salads, cold-pressed organic juices and ‘wellness’ shots, raw and cured appetisers (including ahi tuna poke, octopus ceviche, and cured ham with bee pollen), and numerous vegetarian options.
Brick chicken is better – a coating of turmeric gives it colour (although no flavour), it’s juicy and a spiced mayo lifts it – but overgrown flat-leaf parsley that’s tough, with some grapes and cherry tomatoes does not a salad make.
We were welcomed by three separate groups of greeters, providing a human sat nav to Malibu Kitchen (one of many restaurants at The Ned).

food
For many east Londoners, Vietnamese food has become a social staple, facilitating a cheap night out of BYOB and nu-rave fluoro-coloured beef.
With a product range in quantum flux – there are nominally 24 varieties, but it seems more like 244 – it’s unusual to get the same Ritter twice in a row.
But there’s also my Moby-Dick: the seemingly legendary Ritter Sport Cornflakes, encased in a vivid orange wrapper.
£1.69 for 100g from most newsagents I classify thinking about eggs in the same league as wondering about the enormity of the universe.
As well as being the Most Versatile Grub EVER, eggs are also science’s fave food.
Green Papaya | Restaurants in South Hackney, London
food
Located halfway down Mare Street behind an apparently run-down façade, Green Papaya feels like a quiet club.
Service is laid-back yet efficient and welcoming, and the food quite superb.
The food here seems to come from a slightly different tradition from that of most London competitors: grilled spicy lamb with cumin, a rarity on most Vietnamese menus, was a revelation – the flavour of the lamb highlighted rather than masked by the treatment.
Lamb slow-cooked with lemongrass, galangal and coconut milk is an enticing alternative.
Another plus: prices are generally 20% lower than those in the other well-known Mare Street Vietnamese establishments.
