   Without this place, Chorlton would be really lacking in good east Asian food options. The food here is fire. The Bun Cha (fishcake noodle soup) is the one to order; the flavour in that broth really is something special! You can tell these guys really care about the food. I wish the papaya salad was spicier & funkier but that might just be me. Either way it's still fresh & delicious.

   Vietnamese Potbellied is one of our local restaurants, and for the quality of the food, and the price you pay, you really can't go wrong! As the name suggests, it's a range of Vietnamese food - pho and ben hue making up the majority of the menu. Starters include things like salt & pepper prawns, chicken, tofu (pictured), spring and summer rolls. Importantly, the food is all fantastic. A favourite of mine is the s&p tofu and the Bun Bo Hue. Portions are extremely generous too - a starter and main would probably be more than enough for most people! The restaurant is also a mix of BYOB and has a license to sell alcohol as well. If you are able to BYOB, it makes a meal here extremely reasonable with the corkage (c. £4.50 I think). Recently, I visited with some family and for the 6 of us, the overall cost was £120, or £20 a head. Which is incredible value for a starter and main, given how good the food is! The atmosphere is also really lovely. It's nice and relaxed, the restaurant is family owned, and you are never rushed. Service is always really good, whenever we've visited. On Fridays and weekends you might want to book a bit in advance, but for weekdays you would probably be OK to walk in. All in all, great food, fab prices, just a really nice place to spend an evening!

   I visited this restaurant for the first time last week. I got there about 40 minutes before they were about to close. They still let me in and served me which was the first time I experienced this (usually you don't get this kind of service). The food was quite nice but I forgot to mention that I don't like cilantro and it was all over my meals which were a Kids pho and the Vietnamese pork belly. That is the only thing I didn't like about my food. The service was great and I really felt welcome and therefore I would recommend this restaurant.

   Really good Vietnamese food in a family restaurant. The taste of Vietnamese food was amazing of the traditional pho. There were some extra things I like and they do work really hard for the food as a family and I would like to appreciate their hard work.

   Came for lunch with a friend. Wasn't too busy so getting a table was quick. Staff were friendly and attentive. Ordered the bun thit nuong (grilled pork vermicelli salad) which was absolutely divine. A decent sized portion, not skimping out on any of the components. Will definitely come back to try their pho and other dishes!

   First visit since it changed from Pho Bowl, what we had was great and the service was good. Reasonably priced , we shared various dishes of the starters and sides. The salt and pepper prawns and normal prawns were exceptional. Chicken wings of both types available also very good. Fish cakes ok , salt n pepper chips lacking flavouring. Nice spring rolls , my only gripe is no rice dishes or papaya salad on the menu. It's missing that for me as I look forward to that and would have helped bulk the meal out. We was all a little hungry afterwards not there fault so we went to get cakes etc from the shop.
