Xich Lo Hornchurch

I am occasionally in Hornchurch and always stop here for some of their wonderful food. The noodles are perfect, the salads fresh and crisp and the meats almost perfectly cooked, particularly the crispy pork. Try the summer rolls for something a little different, and the lemon tea served hot with ginger is amazingly tasty and refreshing. Do yourself a favour and try this if you're in town.

We visited this Vietnamese restaurant on Saturday. Lovely food, fantastic drip coffee with great customer service in a clean environment. We had spring rolls, summer rolls, curry and noodles. It was all very nice. I need to book one of their taster nights next! Nice vietnamese flavours rekindle my memories of vietnam travel. Nice little restaurant, good food, lovely staff. Atmosphere is a bit lacking though and would be 100% better if there was some nice claming background vietnamese music.

It was good to support another local restaurant today with a long overdue return to Xichlo for some fabulous Vietnamese food. Xichlo is a lovely friendly little cafe in the heart of Hornchurch town centre. We decided to visit on sunday and received a nice friendly welcome on arrival before being seated. We then looked at the menu to see they serve a nice variety of Vietnamese cuisine from starters , salads , baguettes , noodles , rice , curry & soups. We decided to order as we went along and started with the Taster Starter Meat Platter of grilled pork summer rolls , pork & prawn spring roll & chicken skewers accompanied by three dipping sauces. Each item was delicious and a great way to start. At this time we also ordered a Jasmine Tea and an Apple Bubble Tea which I absolutely loved. We then looked at the menu again and ordered a Crispy Pork Vietnamese Baguette along with a Chicken Green Papaya Salad and some spicy prawn crackers. We were then nicely offered a complimentary coffee so I had an Iced Coffee which was an absolute delight and a Vietnamese Filter Coffee. We next moved on to our main course where we chose a Chicken & Prawn Vietnamese Curry with sweet potatoes , lemongrass & coconut milk. Our other choice was the Pho Tai a Vietnamese Noodle Soup with thinly sliced rare beef steaks , clear rice noodles , fresh herbs and flavoured with a beef broth. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. As they don't serve desserts this rounded off a fabulous lunch. Next time your in town I would highly recommend a visit for either a quick snack or a nice lunch. The food here is amazing with every dish bursting with fantastic Vietnamese flavours and spices. I for one won't be leaving it to long before I return.

A fantastic place for a very tasty and healthy lunch. Yummy pho, salad and a good variety of boba teas. Good vegan options too for me.
