First look inside new Glasgow Vietnamese restaurant

Anyone who is a fan of Vietnamese cuisine will know Non Viet.

Run by Jose Navarros, Younis Chachai Handi and Nam Uy Van Phan, the chain now has three venues in the city, the newest one opened on Monday.

This is their most unique concept yet, as head chef Nam converted their usual menu into an all-vegan one, offering delicious and authentic meals for everyone.

Located at 279 Dumbarton Road, they hope to build on the success of their Sauchiehall Street and Great Western Road sites.

Younis Chachai Handi, co-managing director, said: "Basically, we want to offer to vegan people, an authentic taste of Vietnam.

"With our other two venues, we are doing pretty well, we have regular customers, since 2016.

"There, we also do vegan dishes but we don't have a realistic range, so our business partner created this whole new menu.

"I like all the dishes, they are really tasty, but for me, the most traditional dish is the pho.

"We do the vegan version and the way our chef makes it, is amazing. And the vegetarian spring rolls are my favourite."

Decorated with traditional Vietnamese hats, bicycles and lots of flowery patterns, the eatery is a welcoming place, tucked away in a busy street.

The trio is excited to tap into the busy Partick market, which they say fits in perfectly with their vision for this place.

Younis added: "We chose this location because this area is, from what I know, becoming more trendy and more places are opening here.

"There are a lot of students and young people around, who want to try different things, which is good because being a Vietnamese vegan restaurant, we know our market is not the same as a pizza place, it's much more specific.

"But the people who live around here like to try new things."

Building on an established brand is not easy, but the partners look forward to the challenge and they have one main goal.

Jose Navarros, co-managing director, said: "We try to make our clients happy, first of all.

"We care a lot about our staff and when you come and open the door, you can feel the atmosphere is our type of brand and it's the same at all our venues.

"We are really happy and excited.

"We put our own personality in this business.

"Our goal is to make everyone happy and we try to expand this business because this kind of cuisine is really good."

On the menu, you can find crispy spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes, salads, pho and other noodle soups, curry and much more, which you can eat sitting in or take away.
