Dzo Viet Kitchen is a Vietnamese restaurant at 163 Upper Street in Islington, built around the idea of food as the beginning of a lively gathering. The menu ranges from familiar noodle soups and banh mi to claypot dishes, grilled specialities and traditional sharing trays. Diners can order individual bowls or assemble a broader table of starters, vegetables, rice and slow cooked mains.
Fresh summer rolls combine rice paper, vermicelli, vegetables and herbs, while fried spring rolls bring a crisp contrast. Green papaya salad, fish sauce glazed chicken wings, grilled pork in betel leaves and the turmeric tinted banh xeo pancake provide several ways to begin. Sharing platters gather rolls, seafood, salad and grilled items for two or three people.
Pho is joined by spicy Hue noodle soup, fish noodle soup, beef stew and coconut curry. Signature dishes include shaken beef with peppers and onion, Hanoi grilled pork patties with rice vermicelli, and monkfish cheek with galangal, dill and shrimp paste. Claypot dishes, sticky rice, pork chop rice and banh mi add further choices for a substantial meal.
Mam Com offers the most traditional shared format, bringing rice, a slow braised main, vegetables, soup, pickles and dipping sauce together on one tray. Vegetarian dishes use tofu, aubergine, mushrooms and fresh greens without losing the menu’s aromatic character. Vietnamese coffee and desserts give the meal a sweet finish, while the generous table format makes the restaurant especially well suited to groups.
