Reasons to go
Full description
Cay Tre has built a loyal following in Soho for pulling from across Vietnam's regional cooking traditions rather than sticking to a narrow, London-standard menu, and reviewers specifically call out the Hanoi-style banh cuon as a standout among the many dishes on offer. Others praise the freshness of herbs and overall flavour balance across the menu, describing it as consistently among the better Vietnamese options in the city.
Its 4.1 rating from over 2,400 reviews and mid-range pricing make it a dependable, well-established choice for a satisfying, flavour-packed meal rather than a special-occasion splurge, fitting easily into a lunch break or casual dinner in Soho.

Reviews
I have a great experience at this restaurant. Friendly staff. Generous amount of beef in the original pho. Salted egg yolk soft shell crab also worths trying. It is really popular even on weekday evening. Recommend having a reservation before visiting. Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant I have ever had in London.…
