Best Dishes at Song Que
Chicken Pho
SoupsThe chicken pho is also highly regarded, though some reviewers note it can be lighter than the beef version. Still a traditional preparation and widely recommended among the 150+ menu items.
Beef Pho
SoupsReviewers consistently say Song Que makes the best pho in London. The beef broth is richer and more deeply flavoured than neighbouring restaurants on Kingsland Road, developed through long simmering. Multiple sources describe the broth as having full, true flavours with perfect textures. The rare beef cooks in the hot broth at your table, and you add fresh herbs and chilli to taste.
Grilled Pork Chop Rice
Rice DishesReviewers call this iconic, equally famous as the pho. The pork chops are grilled until charred, served over fluffy rice with pickled vegetables and nuoc cham (fish sauce–based dipping sauce). It's a complete meal for under £10.
Crispy Spring Rolls
AppetizersGolden and crispy fried version, a textural counterpart to the fresh rolls. Reviewers enjoy them as a starter paired with a bowl of pho.
Fresh Spring Rolls
AppetizersMade fresh to order with a balance of shrimp, fresh mint, coriander, and soft vermicelli noodles inside delicate rice paper. Served with peanut dipping sauce.
