Great place for tasty, fresh and well prepared Vietnamese (some creative license taken in authenticity ). From the pho to the papaya or mango salad , and the rolls, all good.

Dylan Lowe

Vietnamese food brought to the realms of finer dining – and nothing short of sublime. Beautifully executed bowls of pho , plus small sharing dishes. Oh, and best cha gio pork spring rolls in Soho.

Jessica Lindeawesome

Try the rice noodle rolls , they are amazing. Pho is alright for London standards. Also try the rice vermicelli with bbq pork , yum!

S P

Very good Vietnamese food , from the morning glory , to the crab/pork rolls, and the pho ... Delish and the lunch menu offers very good value

Just as good as the original Old Street restaurant only in a funkier location, with brand new interiors and now also accepting Amex. Vietnamese flavour at its best!

Bethany Chan

Best viet restaurant in town - very filling lunch set for 10 quid! Pho and curry butterfish are ????????????????

Roshni Bajaj

Beautiful broth. Try the Saigon satay pho and the four mushroom pho side by side to cover a huge spectrum of flavour.

Aphirat ♡ Suthajitto

Very happy everytime I visit Cay Tre. Friendly staff , freshly cooked food, taste good. ????????

Mark McGinlay

Very early days at the new Cay Tre but great food-recommend mackerel summer rolls , squid is good, so is octopus and the beef papaya salad washed down with some hanoi beer or the excellent house white

Jonathan Nguyen

Order the classic pho . Whilst it is no Pho Pasteur (Saigon) the depth of flavour is much better than the Pho Cafe chain. Does not come with the requisite bowl of herbs and sprouts though.

Anastasia

They have a great music playlist but you won't be able to appreciate it cause the place is extremely noisy most of the time. The food is good though, especially the pho .

Josh Taroli

Try the small Banh Cuon (5,50£) as a starter - good taste, fun experience and enough for two

Matthew Ng

One of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants in London — Hanoi Garlicky pho is always a good choice for a cold London evening!

Nigel Hewson

Tried frogs legs for starter - v good. Soft crab curry - tastey but v hot spice - ox cheek pho - amazingly tender meat with liight lemongrass soup - v tastey if slightly large chunks of meat

clive kornitzer

The prawn spring rolls were light , the grilled aubergine had a interesting taste.. the chicken spicy noodles were tasty and filling ... nothing stands out

Hao Tran

Parents said its the best place outside of Vietnam to get food. Trust me, they're from Vietnam and are foodie professionals.

Chase

Ridiculously long wait--far longer than promised. Saigon sate pho was good, loved the thick/creamy peanut sauce . Good cocktails too

David Charlton

Incredible pho . Everything delicious. Must try the salt and pepper squid .

Di Kadyrova

Get the lunch menu : for £12 you’ll have a full bowl of pho and a starter. Pho is amazing

Allen

The Special Large Combo does not disappoint in both size and taste! I will definitely come back.

S P

Nice food, varied menu of Vietnamese essentials and good service ; what's not to like!

Claudio Weeraratne

Lovely lamb curry with aubergine and okra . Also the egg fried rice is really tasty.

Marc M

Really great place for casual dining . Don't just stick to the noodles , other menu choices are pretty good too.

Valentina Ciolino

Their special Rice noodle rolls are not to be missed. Don't be shy and get the large portion .

Dean Chiang

Oxford cheek Pho is a must however...found a metal thing(looks like from the brush) in their noodle once...Cocktails aren't that great

Marco Sousa

Noisy but still good for a date. Recommend trying the mackerel on a banana leaf , amazing fish .

Jack Gillett

Hanoi Garlicky beef pho is delicious and should be a staple in most people's lives.

Josh Taroli

Hanoi Garlicky Pho (11,50£) all the way - one of the best meals I had in London!

Alexandra Ma

Great Vietnamese food ! Get the rice paper rolls to share. Awesome atmosphere too.

Chrissie

Decided to try here again in a week and I was a bit disappointed to find massive fish bones in my butter fish coconut curry .The service isn't as good as the one in Shoreditch.

Jules

Food is good but the restaurant is soooo packed, be prepared to share your table huh

Ben Robra

Fantastic good. Try the bun nem if you're a spring role fanatic.

Sharon Lam

One of the best pho in london . Must try their steamed rice rolls !!

Trang Binny

I love the La Vong fish , Beef Pho and raw beef salad ❤️???? yummy

Reliably good Vietnamese food . The Pho is pretty good, and the vermicelli salads do the trick.

Maria Arnaoutaki

One of the best Pho in London . Quick service as well .

Nathaniel Meyers

Aubergine & Okra Curry and the Catfish claypot were delicious, but front of house disorganised and very expensive

Marcelo Castro

Delicious food for a very reasonable price. A must go.

J X L

Awesome classic pho , probably best in central London. Most dishes are pretty good.

Wing Kew Leung

Nice broth with the pho . Crispy spring roll . Perhaps not the most authentic but tasty enough!

Josh McBride

Salt & Pepper Squid , Saigon Pho , and a Saigon lager . Can't go wrong.

Pari Mistry-Patel

Fresh Vietnamese food ! Try the papaya salad and pho !
