Cay Tre Soho

They do authentic and delicious Vietnamese food. Be prepared to queue up for a table if you try to walk in with more than 1 person. I am. It sure if they accept booking.

Soho brunch is much better than Shoreditch one. You need to make reservation in advance. The space is quite narrow and crowd. The food is tasty but a little pricy. I like the signature noodle soup but it is £18. I also like the steamed rice sheet with minced pork. This one is not available at Shoreditch brunch and also the service is not that good over there.

Got a nice bar walk in and delicious lunch with recommendations by very helpful waiter, really enjoyed the experience. Special pho with cinnamon sausage and crab cakes with a chrysanthemum tea 🪷🍜 I added extra chilli and garlic, beautiful!

Went there for my bday party of 4 people. Food was nice, HUGE portion (really important) and authentic as well. Nothing much to comment, just it’s quite noisy since the restaurant was a bit small and full.
Nevertheless a good Viet food option in London if you can afford it :)
Recommend: cơm sườn, bún bò huế, bún chả Hà Nội, rolls

The pho was very good. Their house special option was a bit weird because it had boiled cucumber and mango inside, and most of the meat was in the form of meatballs. However, the broth was very rich, with distinctive peanut flavour. This version of pho was actually something in between of ramen and pho and I really liked it. The set of Vietnamese rolls for the starters was good. The staff was okay. The place inside was a bit dirty (seats, tables etc), so if you are looking for something really fancy then I would recommend looking elsewhere but if you are mostly interested in food then this place might be a good option

This is hands down the best Vietnamese rice noodles I've ever tasted! Priced reasonably, I opted for the traditional Pho, packed with various beef cuts in a hearty portion. The rice noodles in this bowl stand out, devoid of any powdery texture, owing to its fresh ingredients and specially curated soup base. The pork vermicelli boasts an excellent consistency and is enriched with freshly minced meat. The fried chicken wings are unique in flavor, striking the right balance between saltiness and crispiness. Don't miss out on the Vietnamese coffee or their other beverages; they're a class apart from the overly sweet ones you find elsewhere. Despite the bustling environment and slightly tight seating, the service was commendably swift.

As a Vietnamese person, I highly recommend this restaurant!! This is authentic and man everything I ate was delicious. I am not easily impressed but the banh cuon had the thinnest wrapped and perfect chewy texture. They don't skimp on the pork filling or veggies either. Nuoc cham dipping sauce was not too sour or fishy and complimented the dish well. The original pho was incredible. Thick wide banh pho noodles with deep, rich, clear broth was surprisingly one of the best I've ever had. I wasn't even that hungry but I ate every bite of it. The place was pretty full so I would make reservations if you can!!

the chicken drumstick pho was a personal favourite, the portions are huge and the broth is super tasty.

the mango salad was also delicious, very light and crunchy, as well as all the rolls.

service is quick and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Surprisingly very good food here and although it was very busy service was still fast and friendly.
All the starters I ordered and the pho was very tasty and portion size is decent too.
It’s a bit more expensive but the quality and taste here is definitely worth it.
Because they are fairly busy I would recommend to make a reservation.

Loved this restaurant so much!! I would definitely recommend if you want authentic and delicious vietnamese food. The staff and service was excellent!! 10/10 restaurant definitely go !

My friend and I spent around £90 between the two of us. A little on the expensive side but we did order a lot.

What we ordered:

Sugarcane juice, Melon fish cocktail, tapioca hue dumplings, steamed rice rolled crepes hanoi style, saigon xeo pancake (chicken & prawn), wok fried pho (chicken), original pho.

Stumbled upon this restaurant in Soho and were surprised to be seated immediately despite the restaurant being very busy and full, but for good reason. The food was very fresh and flavorful and came very quickly. We ordered the Seafood Pho, Original Pho, Banh Xeo and Banh Cuon. Everything was so delicious and the waitress was nice as she even suggested what to order. Will definitely be returning!

I think I had one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! It was really good! I had the sizzling sea food platter and it was amazing!

Really excellent food, highly recommend the bun - amazing decor, really speedy service 👍

Great food. Glad we tried the restaurant. It was listed as the best pho in London. Their bahn cuon was phenomenal. We got the Hanoi style. My sister got the Saigon Hawker rice. She said that was good. My cassava vermicelli was also delicious. My husband got the original pho and he said the broth was flavorful.

There was about 40 mins wait for our family of 5 at dinner, would recommend to book in advance. Delicious food, authentic and very filling. Pho and pork banh cuon highly recommended, good portions for the prices. Busy and a little noisy at dinner time but excellent service, we also asked to change a main after ordering and they responded to it quickly, afterwards they checked up on us a few times to make sure nothing was missing and everything was alright.

Incredible.
*Edit: went back*
Still amazing Pho. The male who greeted us when we came in was lovely and smiley, the two female waitresses seemed impatient and annoyed. Still though, fast service, plenty of meat in the Saigon and Chicken Pho. Can't wait to go back!

I got the Original Pho and the broth was absolutely delicious. Very (temperature) hot too which is perfect. Noodles, a fantastic amount and texture.
Could have had a bit more than a few pieces of meat but this is the best Pho I have had outside of Vietnam and the Vietnamese in Melbourne.
Waitresses and decor and atmosphere were all so lovely.
£15.50 for that huge bowl. 😋

Love this restaurant, visited a few times with my best friend. Enjoyed every dishes and service was great.

Cay Tre Soho on Dean Street offers delicious Vietnamese cuisine with affordable prices that perfectly match the quality of their food. Don't miss out on their must-try coffee with condensed milk.

Authentic Vietnamese food, good vibes,delicious food, good portion to share with friends and family, good service.

My favourite Vietnamese in Soho! Great food at reasonable prices as well. They also do a great range of cocktails and drinks too. The portions are also very generous and you are sure to be full. I recommend booking in advance because it is busy most evenings here.
