Plan your visitAbout Phi Phi 2
Tabletop charcoal grills scent the room the second you walk up the stairs at this lively St Albans Vietnamese barbecue joint. Settle in for banquet-style spreads loaded with marinated beef, prawns, and skewers. The standout perk: staff step in right at your table to turn and cut the meats over the coals, leaving you to focus on conversation and dipping bowls of ssamjang. It also pulls double duty as an early bird haven, opening at 6 AM for steaming breakfast bowls. For dinner, finish strong with charcoal-grilled chicken served across bamboo trays.
- Staff-Assisted Grilling: Servers assist directly at the table by cooking and cutting meats over tabletop charcoal coals.
- Tabletop Charcoal Banquets: Banquet setups arrive stacked with marinated cuts, charcoal chicken on bamboo trays, and rich dipping sauces.
- Early 6 AM Breakfast: Opens its doors at 6:00 AM on Alfrieda Street to dish up early morning Vietnamese breakfast.
