Vietnamese cafe serving delicious bánh mì, rice bowls, and soups
"The Soho outpost of this casual Vietnamese cafe is just as reliable as its Shoreditch sibling. Their bánh mì is always tasty—the classic, crispy pork belly, or roast duck are our go-tos—but the meat and rice dishes are similarly good. It’s a meal that suits quick lunches as well as prolonged ones, solo ones, or social ones." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Your order: Hoi-An Deluxe - £9.50 With three locations (in Shoreditch, The City and Soho), Kêu is probably London’s most recognisable bánh mì mini-chain. Don’t let that make you think that its standards are iffy though. In actual fact, Kêu isn’t just reliable but consistently delicious. Their Hoi-An Deluxe combines ham, roast pork belly, sliced head cheese, chicken liver pâté and a gravy-ish sauce that’s heavy on pork and sweet onion flavour. Oh, and pork floss too. Alternatively, their meat and rice or curry combos are always satisfying as well." - jake missing

"Bánh mì is a deceptively difficult dish to nail. Where many would-be bánh mì makers try, most fall flat. But Kêu delivers with an assortment of crisp Vietnamese baguettes, steamed buns and noodle and rice bowls. Scattered around London, the delis are the newest addition to the Vietnamese Kitchen portfolio. The Shoreditch locale is bright, airy and punctuated with wood finishes. In a rush, grab the bánh mì heo quay, which packs in crisp, wobbly pork belly. And a tip: season your baguette with extra Maggi ‘Arome’ liquid, provided in bottles for free." - James Hansen
"Easily one of the most reliable bánh mì in London can be found at Kêu. Crispy pork belly, ham terrine and chicken liver pate (all house made) with refreshing daikon, carrot, chilli and spring onion are all jammed into a crispy baguette and topped with coriander to create, in Kêu’s “Classic” banh mi, one of the most nourishing sandwiches around. James Hansen" - Adam Coghlan
