Best Vietnamese Restaurants in London | Eater London

"What is the best bacon and egg sandwich in London? Regency? Pellicci? St John? No. It’s the no 8 special (extra spicy) at Banh Mi Hoi An, located on a side street near Hackney Central. Not a single banh mi stall in London quite nails the the optimal lightness of the baguette, but Hoi An’s is soft, crisp, well toasted, and weapon-ready vast. The Hoi An special has both sweet char siu and thinly sliced pork belly, with little pockets of wobbly omelette coddling the meat; pickles cut through the richness in the manner of a sharp brown sauce. Aside from the egg and bacon, the beef ball curry banh mi is excellent when the chef has it on — needless to say, with the lack of any competition, it’s also the best meatball sub in this city." - Jennifer Trak

Small Vietnamese restaurant where fried tofu stands out. The decor is clean. The service is courteous and fast. And the food is good. Our favorite is their fried tofu, whether it’s in rice noodles, bahn mi, or other dishes.

This place is legit. It'll easily be my go to pho place if it's near my home in the Bay area. Grilled pork rice vermicelli (dry) - The portion for the grilled pork was generous. Very nicely grilled and charred. One thing is the pork was marinated with lemongrass and I'm not crazy about lemongrass. Nonetheless, it was well marinated and tasty. The pickled Daikin and carrots were well done as well. Very flavorful. The fish sauce also done well. I prefer not concentrated personally. Filet Mignon pho - The soup was good. The meat is legit. Very tender. The pho noodle was done perfectly. Not too long so it's not soggy. Vietnamese ice coffee - despite it's premade, flavor is good. Not too sweet which was perfect for me.

Came here for the “Banh Mi” sandwich with the side order of Pho broth to dip. Fantastic sandwich with TRI tip Meat! Can’t wait to try just the Pho soup! Great prices also:)

Stopped here for lunch after coming across an Instagram reel about their pho dip banh mi, and it did NOT disappoint! The pho broth is clean and rich and flavorful, and it’s a generous portion alongside the sandwich, which is packed with tender, flavor-bomb brisket. The bread is soft and crusty and perfect. We also tried a Cajun shrimp banh mi, and it’s basically the best shrimp po boy I’ve ever had.

We saw this place on Instagram and we HAD to try it out. The place is inviting and we were seated and helped immediately by friendly staff. I order the pho filet mignon and holy moly it was insanely good. My cousin ordered the bahn mi dip and she loved it. We had a great experience and cannot wait to go back!

If you’re looking for authentic delicious Vietnamese food…this is your spot! I am from the Bay Area where there is a plethora of good Vietnamese food. I’ve been on the hunt to find a great spot here in SD and I strongly believe this is the one. I think I finally found the Best pho and banh mi spot in San Diego. I know that’s a big statement, but I mean it 100%. All of our food came out piping hot and all the flavor was there. I ordered the crispy tofu banh mi ($8.95), my husband got the grilled chicken banh mi ($8.95) and my toddler had a small beef bowl of pho which contained thin slices of beef, rice noodles and vegetables ($13.47). Plus two yummy cups of jasmine tea ($2.70 each). The broth surprised us the most because of how tasty it was. I met with the owner who is also a cook here, he told me the broth is marinated with beef bone for more than twenty hours. I absolutely loved how much flavor is packed into each dish. My tofu was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, soft and delicate on the inside. Even my picky toddler approves this restaurant. The total of our meal came out to $40. Which is soo affordable compared to other restaurant prices in San Diego. The staff was very attentive and kind. There is seating inside and outside. I think the seating area inside could use some remodeling and updating, but other than that — this is a spot is perfect.

Flavorful sandwich—solid 8/10—and the egg rolls didn’t disappoint at 7/10. Pro tip: grab takeout, pair it with a Latitude 33 Blood Orange IPA, and boom, your day is instantly better. Thank me later!

HONESTLY -- best banh mi I've ever had! Service was super sweet and friendly. It's a simple little mom and pop shop with a welcoming vibe tucked away in Point Loma. This was our first time here. We ordered 11 of their special banh mis to bring to a family potluck. They were kind enough to wrap each half individually, which we so appreciated! While we waited, we sat down and had a beer and ended up opening one to try -- and oh my god... Hands down the best banh mi we've ever had! These went quick at the potluck and I'm telling you we got so many raving reviews from everyone who was able to try one and we were stoked! This is officially our new spot! We're definitely coming back for more!

Catering Update - Banh Mi Hoi Anh delivers again!** I picked up a catering order from Banh Mi Hoi Anh and I'm blown away by the quality and portion size! Ordered their House Special Fried Rice and egg rolls for a family gathering. **House Special Fried Rice:** This was absolutely loaded! Generous portions of shrimp, Chinese sausage, and char siu pork mixed thoroughly with perfectly seasoned rice. The balance of ingredients was spot-on - every bite had a good mix of protein and the rice had that perfect wok flavor. The peas and carrots added nice color and texture. Even in the large aluminum tray, you could tell this was freshly made and not sitting around. **Egg rolls:** Golden, crispy perfection! They packed these carefully and included a generous portion of fresh mixed greens and herbs (lettuce, mint, cilantro) for wrapping. The rolls had that satisfying crunch and were clearly made fresh - not soggy or greasy at all. The pickled daikon and carrots made it perfect, along with the dipping sauce. The catering packaging was thoughtful too - everything stayed hot and fresh during transport. For the price point, the portions were very generous and could easily feed our group with leftovers. Banh Mi Hoi Anh continues to impress whether it's their regular menu or catering orders. The attention to quality doesn't change when scaling up portions. Will definitely be ordering their catering again for future events! Highly recommend for anyone needing Vietnamese catering in the area. ​​​​​​​​​ Oh, in case you're wondering, yes, I served other items to go with it but needed additional help! And be sure to bring some patience with you. This is a small business and they are doing their best to deliver quality food.

This place is a hidden gem! I've been twice and both times I've enjoyed everything I've ordered. The fresh spring rolls are delicious. Highly recommended the beef and or pork one. Their pork skewer was delicious. Service has always been on point. Definitely try this place ASAP!

We saw this restaurant on IG and wanted to try it. I started with the Summer Rolls but was disappointed. It was loosely rolled and the cucumber was cut a bit thick and fell out of the wrapper. The peanut sauce had the consistency of watery peanut butter. However, I came to dip a Bahn Mi in a pho bowl and that did not disappoint. I ordered the house Bahn Hoi A Special the dip was extra. The bread was airy and crispy and nicely put together. It was delicious especially when dipped into the pho My friends who ordered the Shaken Beef and two bowls of Pho had no complaints. But the Curry Chicken Bahn Mi ... curry was not warm. Server was nice, helpful and honest with recommendations. We would come again but I will stay away from the Summer Roll.

First time here. You seat yourself and Staff were attentive. I stuck to what they're popular in, Banh mi. I got the grilled beef and bf got the grilled pork. The bread was airy and fluffy which is preferable. The whole sandwich itself were ok. I feel like I've had better at other places. Also ordered the chicken wings, garlic butter flavor. This was good, I would recommend. As far as the eggrolls, it's ok, nothing special.

My new favorite Banh Mi place!! This place is so good and definitely beats out any other banh mi place i've had in San Diego thus far. I got the banh mi hoi an special with an egg and it hit the craving. There's tons of parking here and they have indoor and outdoor parking. We decided to sit in their outdoor patio and they brought out our food for us. I'm actually surprise that they also brought out the whole set up with the entire napkin dispenser, condiments, etc. Easy parking, great service, and great food. What more can you ask for?

Stopped in here for lunch, and didn't really know what to expect. A few things on the menu looked pretty good but I went with the traditional grilled pork Banh Mi. I also ordered a Thai Iced Tea to wash it down. The sandwich tasted fresh. They could have put a little more meat on the sandwich, I felt it was a little light. So, the food was good, but the value was only ok. The service was a little slow, but they did have a medium amount of other people in there already. You pay at the counter when you're done, but you also wait at the counter to be seated or place a to go order. The line was a little odd when trying to leave while other people were trying to order. The place isn't huge but had ample enough seating. I would check it out again for another lunch day.

For a lunchtime meal I always think about a banh mi sandwich. I was in the mood and I found a place, so time to share. They make a really good Thai tea. I also shared an order of vegetable egg rolls and of course got a pork banh mi sandwich. The spring rolls were nice and crispy. The banh mi sandwich was solid. I can't say it was one of the better that I've had. But it was good enough that I'd go back. It felt like a family owned restaurant and supporting family owned local business is always a goal. We were seated quickly and anything we needed the server helped us get. If I need a quick sandwich and I'm in the area I will stop in again.

The banh mi here is delicious. The bread does not wreck the roof of my mouth. Service was okay, nothing spectacular, but they were kind and polite. I probably won't go out of my way to dine in here, but I would do a to go order. This is probably my favorite banh mi place in SD. I think for the price point the portion was just okay. It's definitely not as overpriced as Lee's Sandwiches, but I don't like that they put a fat slice of cucumber in my sandwich. It felt like most of my sandwich was taken up by that cucumber instead of other filling like the meat.

When we randomly selected this restaurant on a whim, I never expected that it would become one of the most delicious eats of our trip. Banh Mi Hoi An is a gem. I got the GRILLED PORK BANH MI ($8.95) and savored every single bite. The pork was super tender and nicely marinated, being slightly sweet with underlying notes of lemongrass. The edges of the meat also had a light char from the grill which added extra flavor. In addition to the cucumber, I loved the crunch from the pickled daikon and carrot, which had the perfect subtle tang, alongside the heat from the jalapeño. A drizzle of creamy mayo quelled the spice and was the perfect final touch. The bread was terrific as well, being soft and light inside, with a slight crunch on the outside. The banh mi was so good that we stopped by again to pick up an early lunch before heading to the airport on our last day. The gentleman at the front who took our order was friendly and we could tell that our sandwiches were crafted and wrapped up with care. This is proof that sometimes an unassuming spot can turn out to be the most pleasant surprise. Very reasonable pricing too!

PHO-nomenal! I've been on a bit of a Pho run lately as I've been craving pho as we've hit the winter months. I was in the area after a workout today and decided to try out Banh Mi Hoi An. I've driven by tons of times but finally made it past the parking lot. Banh Mi Hoi An is quite the hidden gem in Point Loma off of Rosecranz. Parking was easy and the space is perfect for quick dining in or take out. I opted for the Filet Mignon pho and the classic grilled Banh mi. Delicious. Pho was served piping hot with all the fixings and the banh mi crust was chef's kiss!! Perfectly crusty and literally the best I've had in San Diego. Large portions and even better pricing. Bring your appetite because this one is a winner! Thanks Banh Mi Hoi An, I'll be back!

Really great Vietnamese restaurant. Park in the rear and then walk around the corner to get to the shop. Portions are large and flavorful. I went with the Pho Dip Banh Mi which is essentially deconstructed pho components placed into a Banh mi and served with pho broth for dipping. The broth was quite good and flavorful and the price was decent (albeit coming from NYC). Highly recommend especially if you need a quick lunch relatively cenar the airport - was maybe a 5-10 min drive). Don't expect a fancy restaurant it's more of a no frills family like run restaurant, but they serve good food.

Somewhat lackluster service but solid Vietnamese basics and excellent bang for the buck at this unassuming spot! Pho Bo (beef bone broth simmered for 18+ hours served with sliced filet mignon), Noodle with Lemongrass Beef (served with pickled vegetables, bean sprouts, fish sauce, chopped lettuce, mint, & cilantro and garnished with green onion and crushed peanut), and Grilled Pork Sandwich (marinated with lemongrass and garlic) all had good depth of flavor and were generously portioned.

Solid Vietnamese restaurant that hasany other items beyond banh mi. The ambiance was casual, nothing special, but it's nice to have plenty of parking around the back. Our server was VERY young (maybe family business...) - she was friendly and helpful. Pork and shrimp spring rolls were tasty, along with the peanut sauce. I opted for the pork belly banh mi and it was decent, but I think maybe the grilled pork would have been even better. The pork belly was okay but not super flavorful and not as fatty / tender as I would have hoped. The rest of the sandwich complimented the meat well though.

Delicious Vietnamese food with vegetarian options. Comforting and fresh vermicelli bowls and pho, kind of the best of both worlds between hole in the wall (good portions and prices) and mid scale dining (comfortable dining room to eat in). Not too many frills but quite a great find.

I absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE. the boba is immaculate and one of the best I have had. I usually get the mango smoothie w boba it is SO GOOD. They also have taro, Thai, Vietnamese ice coffee and more. It is amazing. Their chicken wings are so meaty and cooked and everything is hot and fresh. All their food is so yummy and a cozy feeling eating inside. They also have pho and I would highly recommend. The people working are very nice but can be introverted which is totally fine because I am too.

Fantastic food! A small place with few seating right on Rosecrans. Probably could use another person working the front as it was just 1 guy ordering food and serving, he was very busy. But the place was packed for a Monday night!

There's def no good Vietnamese food back home, so I had to go get some the night before leaving. The Bun Bo Hue was loaded with flavor, I haven't had any in nearly 6 years...so it was refreshing to have, again. The Banh Mi, was packed with meat and pickled daikon & carrots (I loveeee pickled daikon and carrots. Easy to make but back home...they can never perfect). I had to give 4 stars because they didn't provide any utensils, napkins etc. Please consider those traveling from out of town, hotels don't provide, so it's tough trying to enjoy a meal, without the necessary utensils.

First time trying this restaurant. I saw an instagram reel recommending this place for banh mi and stopped by since I was already in the area. I walked in to a friendly greeting and good service. I like that there's both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a nice size restaurant with a cozy modern feel. There's also a good variety on the menu. I ordered a Grilled Pork Banh mi with extra veggies. I'm not used to being charged for extra veggies but I'm glad I got them. Banh mi was delicious and each bite had really good flavor with the aioli, grilled pork, sautéed onions and those veggies gave it a nice fresh flavor balance. Tip- parking is in the back and restaurant is on the front side of Rosecrans.

Their banh mi special is the best banh mi I've had in San Diego. Their pate is really something else! Service was so sweet and thoughtful. Ambiance is casual but colorful and interesting. Parking is easy but maps will take you to the wrong side of the building. Just circle around back and you'll find it!

Excellent Vietnamese food and prices. The beef spring rolls were so good and their peanut sauce is Really enjoyed the grilled pork bahn mi and tried someone's beef noodle bowl. They said it was the best one they've ever had. The quality of the food and homemade sauces shine. We seated ourselves and someone eventually came to take our order. They got one order totally wrong but fixed it pretty quick. It wasn't obvious but we had to pay at the cashier. Nothing special about the ambiance but this isn't the place you go to for that. Seemed family owned by some friendly folk. One gentleman told us they just one a best of Point Lona award. Also that they opened right before Covid... glad they survived! We don't live close enough to frequent this place, but will be back.

**Note this review is focused only on food, as I got take-out only** A great Vietnamese restaurant with a nice variety of dishes and a few inventive ones with a Viet spin. Solid representation of Viet cuisine. Highlight for me was the pho banh mi, the dipping broth gives you the best of both worlds for a quick bite and something hearty. The broth is legit Pho Broth and delicious. Dipped with the banh mi, it makes for a very nice combination of umami and convenience. I also grabbed the dirty fries, which is kind of like the Viet version of carne asada fries topped with a fried egg. The meats are marinated in viet flavors and make for a nice complement to the fries. Overall recommended for a good respresentation of viet cuisine with a little bit of inventiveness!

Cute little Vietnamese spot near Liberty Station! Stopped by because I heard about how the banh mi was good and was ecstatic given theres not many banh mi options in San Diego. This place delivers! Got the Banh Mi (Hoi An special sandwich) and there was TONS of meat and flavor! Their bread is good, pate was good & pickled veggies were perfectly pickled. Also ordered the spring rolls which were just okay, can't go wrong with a spring roll & pork skewer with rice (you can also choose vermicelli over rice) and honestly the pork skewer was SO flavorful & probably my favorite thing. They have great service & you can tell this is a mom& pop type shop! Parking is plentiful in the back of the building.

After living in SD for a few years, I can confidently say this is the best grilled pork banh mi I've tasted so far in the County. Nicely marinated meat, crisp but soft bread, and just the right amount of bite and acidity to the pickled veggies. Would come back for the banh mi only. Pho and egg roll loving kiddos did not care for this place.

Went here for the second time to get the banh mi again which I really liked the first time but had it to-go. You can seat yourself and they take your order. We ordered the braised pork belly and the lemongrass beef banh mi with a Vietnamese coffee and Thai tea. Also, added a cup of the beef broth on the side bc it pairs well with the banh mi. Both banh mi were very good bc the meat on both were flavorful. The viet iced coffee was super strong but I prefer more of a balance of sweet and strong. Thai tea was standard and extra sweet. I like this place bc of the food and the service is very nice. The restaurant is similar to most pho/banh mi spots. It does need some updating with the furniture and more clean up at the tables.

The grilled pork skewers are the best, because they have some char, caramelization, and lots of good flavor. They are juicy and good portions with onions too. The meat on the skewers taste better than that in the pork banh mi. We had both the pork grilled bang mi as well as the beef grilled with lemon grass. The bread was nice and toasted warm and fresh. Love the pickled vegetables and cilantro that come in sandwich. We also had lemon grass beef with rice on a plate. yum! Today's food was the best that we have had since we tried this place a couple years ago. Service is fast and friendly. If you buy 10 sandwiches, and get the whole punched in the card, you get one free.

Was in the Point Loma area craving some Asian food and decided to stop by this spot. Got seated right away, which is always a win. Parking can be a bit tricky, but they have a lot behind the building, so that's nice. I ordered the Bo Ne, which is a Vietnamese sizzling breakfast dish (but honestly, it's great anytime). There aren't many places in SD that serve this, so I was pretty excited. It did not disappoint--it was packed with flavor, and came with filet mignon steak, egg, pork, meatball, pate, and sauce. Super tasty. We also tried the Saigon pork chop plate, which was HUGE and so delicious. If you're a coffee fan, they have this coffee float that tastes like an affogato but with Vietnamese coffee. It's a must-try! Oh, and the Banh Mi sandwich was on point too. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely a solid spot to hit up if you're in the area!

Went here a few years ago and it was delicious, came today and it was not good at all. Got the same thing, grilled pork banh mi, this time it was terrible; barely any meat, and half of the meat that was there I spit out as it was all super chewy fat. No flavor, no salt, no pickle flavor, no spice, nothing, super dry and bland bland bland. The only thing that was good was the bread. $12 down the drain, will not be back.

The banh mi with a pho broth dip has become a popular menu item at Vietnamese restaurants lately. My first taste came during a visit to Saigon Drip in Seattle, which is 10/10 btw, so I could not help but compare Banh Mi Hoi An to that. Hoi An's banh mi was thick, with fluffy bread, generous amounts of meat, and perfectly pickled radishes and carrots. The pho broth was fresh and flavorful as well. The service was just the right speed to get freshly made food out quickly. It was a pretty hole in the wall restaurant vibe and definitely felt like locally owned, which is right up my alley. Overall, it was high quality food for a cheap price, so I will definitely be going again. 8/10

Plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. A little on the pricer side, but has good food. The banh mi doesn't lack protein (a good thing!) as sometimes they can be made with more bread to protein ratio. I also ordered the sticky rice which I felt like was a biiiiit smaller of a portion than I expected, but still good. A little bit on the saltier side though. Overall would definitely come again for some authentic banh mi.

Oh this place is GOOD! I got the braised pork belly (thit kho) - it came with an egg. The flavor was strong and so tasty. The meat was cut small but there was enough and I didn't feel cheated. I loved how it also came with the pickled veggies on the side :) they focus on grill items which is cool so it's more intentional. Service was quick and friendly. The place is small and clean. Some cute plants inside to add some charm. I'd for sure come back!

Solid banh mis! I love getting these to-go and setting up a picnic blanket at liberty station. My go to is always braised pork, but I enjoyed the grilled beef too! Service has always been fast and friendly. I've never dined in before or had other items, but my friends will order the appetizers. They always re-order the eggrolls, spring rolls, and summer rolls. Def a good place to try if you're in the area.

A lovely Vietnamese restaurant in Point Loma! It is cozy, warm, and inviting with delicious Vietnamese cuisine. We always order their banh mi sandwiches and vermicelli noodle bowls. Their banh mi sandwiches are so flavorful and delicious. The bread is slightly crispy on the outside but chewy and fluffy on the inside. They give generous portions of veggies and well seasoned meat. The ratios are perfect and you get a perfect bite each and every time. The balance of the umami savory meat and the fresh veggies always satiates and hits the spot. Their vermicelli bowls are also amazing. I especially love their lemongrass beef- tender beef full of flavor. All their fillings are super fresh and the fish sauce you pour over the noodles is perfectly balanced. I love getting their chili oil for an extra hint of spice to accentuate your dish. Prices are very fair for the quality of food you are getting. They have free street parking in the front or free parking in the lot behind the restaurant.

I usually get their chicken banh mi for take out. But the other day, my partner and I went in and sat down for dinner. Oh boy! Are we glad we did! The ambiance is warm and inviting. Tables and chairs were clean. We ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls. 5 out of 5! The pork was a little thicker slices and the peanut sauce was delish! Def recommend. I got their grilled chicken banh mi and my partner got their grilled pork banh mi. Wow! They toast the bread and the meat was still warm! I asked gor extra pickled veggies and they only gave me slightly more. Not mad at it though. The banh mis are smaller than at other places but for $8.95 each, that beats $13 at other places! Service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend eating there as th banh mis are way better fresh.

They have one of the best Banh Mi Sandwiches in San Diego. The Vietnamese Baguette is served warm with a thin crispy crust and a soft inside. The ingredients were obviously fresh and not dried out. Service is friendly and quick so it's a great place to dine if you are in a hurry. The ambiance is just your typical Vietnamese restaurant and nothing really stood out as a positive or negative.

I came here when I was in the area and craving pho. I ordered the summer rolls, grilled pork banh mi, and the filet mignon pho. I ordered a lot of food, but wanted some leftovers as a snack. This place is in a strip mall area, and there is plenty of parking. The summer rolls and the banh mi were tasty. I thought the pho was decent as well. I know it mentions filet mignon, but it tasted like regular beef to me. The pho did hit the spot and satisfied my craving though! The service was good. I came here earlier during lunch so there was not much of a crowd yet. It would seem tough to be working with one person though! I would come back next time to try the other items!

We have ordered banh mi for takeout on multiple occasions. Usually consistent although on the last run they left out the pickled daikon. However after trying another banh mi place yesterday I realized that this place is still overall superior to most banh mi joints in SD. They have fresh marinated meats and fill the sandwich pretty well with toppings. Will order again and ask to make sure they don't forget the daikon!

This spot is such a hidden gem. We ordered the Bahn MI Hoi An special and it was amazing. Will definitely go back to try more items.

Had the pho bahn mi and it was delicious! Food was hot, order correct, ready early. The girl at the pickup counter seemed confused and couldn't find my order until I pointed it out on table. Would go back for the food tho!

Ordered Bho Ko last night, very very salty. They made a mistake on my sandwich too. Bread is soggy. I came from the Bay Area so there's lots of Vietnamese places there. Great atmosphere in the restaurant tho. They're busy.

I grew up eating banh mi on French bread, and much prefer it over baguettes. The bread here is fantastic (and from a local bakery). The Hoi An special contains meats all prepped in-house. Great place to grab a sandwich! There is a parking lot in the back.

Out of the sandwich's the shrimp was by far the best, the beef isn't as good as it used to be. The skewer is a little better, than the egg roll. The skewer is quite good, very juicy. The egg roll is pretty average. All of the food is 4.5. The service is fast, nice, and he gave us all we asked for. The service is a 5. The place itself is average a little fancier than a fast food place, the place is a 4. Overall a 4.5.

Broth is 24 hour cooked bone broth, so I was told. Delicious. Fresh. Warm. The interior is bright and airy. It seems more like a lunchtime spot, not so much a sexy date night place. I've ordered pickup from here and have always had a great experience.
