Rao DeliB+

304 Borough High St, London SE1 1JJ · Vietnamese restaurant · Newington

Small Vietnamese spot near Borough serving standout pho and banh mi with mostly warm, fast service, though occasional slow or brusque interactions and small starters are noted.

The verdict

Rao Deli delivers exceptional pho quality with a distinctive flash-fried steak broth that earns consistent praise, supported by friendly, knowledgeable service and fair pricing for central London. However, inconsistent broth execution and variable service speed prevent grade A territory, while compact seating and occasional crowding limit ambiance appeal. A reliable neighborhood favorite rather than a destination standout.

One caveat: A minority experienced slow order-taking and inattentive moments even when not full
