Alice in Wonderland-esque black and white floor tiling, mirrored walls, and modernist set the stage for massive tapas appetizers plates packing morsels like homemade prawn paste on sugar cane and grilled pork belly rice paper rolls. Vietnamese coffee, available iced or hot, washes the meal down smooth.

Great, not-too-pricey Vietnamese. Delicious (and huge) soup bowls.

Cozy HK-style atmosphere. The food presentation was quite great and the nam nam was really delicious. They were out of foreign beers at the time we went, but the owner offered us her own bottle of wine instead! We were really happy about that.
Also, the Appetizer platter was TRUE platter. Huge, just HUGE!

Great food in a very pleasant atmosphere. The huge bowls of noodles tasted delicious.
The only minus points were the lack of high chairs for kids and the slightly inconsistent service.

cosy place, trendy decorations, friendly and helpful staff, starters to die for.

Pho Lemon's first foray into Beijing embodies the brand's Hong Kong upbringing. Requisite Bebel Gilberto smooth bossa accompanies honest and attentive, but not pushy, servers in the Alice in Wonderland-esque setting of black and white floor tiling, mirrored walls, and modernist white and metal furniture.
As for the food, don't expect fusion-inspired exoticism: instead, you'll find that minimalism-meets-mom with subtle, homey North Vietnamese flavors.
The best should certainly not be saved for last: the massive appetizer mixed platter proffers six fresh "tapas" delectables, among them creative homemade prawn paste on sugar cane and fresh shrimp and classic grilled pork belly rice paper rolls (¥138). A grilled pomfret fish with lemon sauce (¥88) delivers a fleshy and fresh whole tilapia, once your chopsticks break through the deep-fried hard outer shell. Skip the tripe and meatball-heavy classic combination beef noodle soup (¥58)—more Beijing than Hanoi—for other noodle dishes. Desserts are a similar dose of reality (¥38-48), so consider a sweet solution the Vietnamese coffee (iced, ¥29; hot ¥26).
The dishes more than deliver, it's true. Pho Lemon can do.
