  Halal pho? Get outta here! Two stars just for making that happen.
  
  I've never had pho before so don't have much to compare it to. But I happily had a hot, tasty bowl of halal spicy beef pho at this restaurant.
  
  The restaurant was clean and warm, with a good amount of people-- ambient noise of chatter, but not overly packed.  We were seated immediately.
  
  The service was attentive, maybe a bit slow by City standards but I prefer that to being rushed.
  
  Hoi An is a small shop just off Brick Lane-- you can walk around before or after and have a look at some of the very cool street art for which the area is well known.  
  
  I do recommend this place for folks who keep halaal/zabihah. Otherwise, I'm not so sure it's anything special for a pho house.

  A nice change to pop in for some Viet food off Brick Lane.  I think the prices are quite reasonable for it.
  
  I ordered a bowl of dry vermicelli noodles with grilled goat meat, with raw shredded greens and fish sauce.  The goat meat was pretty tasty, but the shredded greens - half of them were dark / mushy and had gone bad.  I would have mentioned something to the server, but I was in a rush.  
  
  Also, the description of the plate said "with chargrilled goat meat and spring roll", but I didn't get a spring roll.  That was mainly why I ordered the dish!  But I asked the server, and he was very adamant that it didn't come w/ the roll - and I didn't feel like asking for the menu to double check in case I was wrong! Anyhow, on my way out, I took another peek at the menu posted outside - I wasn't crazy, the dish definitely did say goat meat with spring roll! So I do feel a bit gypped.. The servers were really nice and attentive.
  
  Anyway, the food isn't bad, but just a bit annoyed with the spring roll confusion and the raw mushy greens that had gone bad.

  I was really looking forward to check out this restaurant after reading quite a few good reviews here on Yelp.  The lunch set menu looked inviting with loads of options and at a VERY affordable price.  With all that good stuff going for this place I decided to take my whole team here for an (slightly cheap... er... budget friendly) outing.
  
  Being the organiser that I'm I have booked ahead online the day before.  Large table? No problem! 1pm lunch peak hour? No problem. All booked and set...  
  
  After dragging my whole team about 15-20 mins across Shoreditch & Spitalfield... we discovered the place wasn't even open!  All shutters were down... no notice. no nothing.
  
  I understand it's mid-week and we might have been the ONLY table in the restaurant... but if you decided not to open for whatever reason I think it'd be nice just to email/call to notify people who have "done the right thing" & booked ahead.
  
  Rant over.  Having said all this... I *might* still return... and hopefully will be able to update the review in a more positive tone & with more stars.

  fresh and delicious halal Vietnamese cuisine. traveled across the city for this bun bo and spring rolls. spring rolls were crunchy and flavourful. well worth the trip!

  This place just opened. Pretty traditional pho house. Limited condiments, but the broth was super!
