Skip if you want a quick meal or a broad menu with lots of choice—this is focused, cosy, and slow enough to savour.
About Noya's Kitchen
Noya's Kitchen is a small Vietnamese restaurant in Bath's Crescent area where everything's cooked from scratch with fresh herbs and a tightly focused menu that makes it nearly impossible to order badly. The space feels intimate—reviewers describe it as cosy, like eating in someone's home—with a terrace for spring and autumn dining. Staff are genuinely attentive without hovering. The menu moves beyond standard curry house fare; you'll find pork dumplings, prawn summer rolls described as "the best since visiting Vietnam", beef broth with noodles, pork belly that surprises people with its flavour, and fish mains. Desserts include a matcha chocolate cake that gets mentioned specifically. At £20–30 per head, it's reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which reviewers consistently praise as generous. Lunch and dinner both fill up quickly—reservations are recommended, especially weekends. Vegetarian options and gluten-free choices are available throughout.
