Cay Tre Soho

Visited for lunch. I tried to book but I couldn’t manage as they were full, so I just went there. The staff was very polite and got us a table. All the food we ordered was tasty and delicious. Definitely of our liking! I have been to Cay Tre many times over the past 10 years and I was never disappointed. Of course the place it’s busy! You are in Soho! What do you expect?! Very honest prices as well, taking into consideration the location and the food portions. We ordered many different things from the menu and would definitely recommend the rolls and the noodles bowls! Absolutely delicious!

I had a gathering with my friend last Christmas and came back a few weeks ago. Decent amount of food. They adjust the flavour a bit to suit more customers but it is still quite close to Vietnamese home-cooked meal. The space is quite small for such a popular branch. So chatting is pretty inconvenient, and the staff cannot take a good care of every table. All in all, recommended if you crave for good Vietnamese food, especially the soup. Although price is reasonable in the central London, you should be prepared for that and service fee.

I don’t like to leave bad reviews but tbh I’ve never been to places like this, where waitress just came to the table and ask if she could remove the plate. It is true that I just finished my dish, but it’s merely after 1 minute that I put down my chopsticks. At least let customers sit for a bit to let food digest? I know the restaurant is busy, but this is not a fast food place. It is a RESTAURANT. To be polite I didn’t ask to take out the service charge. But will never come again or recommend to my friend. Food actually tastes not bad. Especially crispy imperial roll. Thank you chef.

I was craving Pho for a long time and Cay Tre did not disappoint. I got the Original Beef Pho with steak and brisket. I also ordered Beef Tripe and requested to have it served as a side instead of putting it in the soup as an additional topping, which they happily granted. I wished they could have put more herbs on the side. Maybe I could have asked, but was too hungry too try. 😅 It is more pricey than other Vietnamese restaurants but they have a large portion. Also, their Drip Coffee is a must-try. Overall, I enjoyed it.

I had a pretty average experience at this restaurant. The Banh cuon was delicious and I highly enjoyed it. However, the beef pho was not good at all. The beef was really difficult to chew and not tasty. Seeing other reviews, I see that this is experienced by many others. I would have expected better meat since I paid £16.50 for it. Service is fast but the interior and atmosphere is pretty average.

The reception people need to be more friendly face to customers I will say , the food is good , the portion is right , 13% service charge for a noodles bar I personally think is a bit too much . The extra sauces on the table is very detail . I like that , the soup of pho is very delicious, but why bean sprouts is cooked ?? Should be fresh for us to add in the hot soup which will be crunchy texture . Overall is fine .

I went in yesterday as a walk-in, and sat on a shared table. The service was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly. I ordered the original beef pho, and the vegetable spring rolls, which were both extremely delicious. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to my next visit!

We were recommended to this place by a Vietnamese friend who spoke highly of this place. The food is far more authentic than usual pho you get elsewhere. Banh chuon is an interesting dish and a good recommendation to try something new. They have a set lunch menu which was good value for money. Tofu bun no hue was also customised for a vegetarian option as they replaced the beef broth with a vegetarian option. Overall a nice ambience and good place to try Vietnamese cuisine.
