Keu Soho in City of London, Westminster

Really good Banh Mi here. Been back a few times as it is convenient and tasty. A little pricey for some dishes but they give a good portion size for the Banh Mi, rice and noodle dishes. Roast duck and crispy pork isnt the best in the area but still not bad. Drinks are good here too, recommend the lime soda and lemonade.

Left an item behind in this restaurant after dinner on Thursday 2nd May - an expensive bicycle light I needed to get home safely. The waiter who served us refused to let me back in 15 minutes later after he shut and bolted the door for the evening at 9:30pm and was clearing up. He made me shout through the glass. He didn’t bother to look for it. I had to cycle home in the dark. Emails ignored ever since. I feel like I was treated like a random yob not a guest who just dined there moments ago. Keu - if you are reading this then I would be grateful to hear from you. What a shame.

Stopped by at this eatery as my hotel was nearby. Was craving something hot and soupy as I was feeling a little under the weather. The MyTho noodles hit the spot - fresh aromatic herbs, tender meat, and a hearty broth. Also a shout out to Calvin who tended to me and made this recommendation.

Used to go to their Shoreditch one for lunch all the time. This one pales in comparison. Had the crispy pork belly rice dish. The rice was average, lukewarm pork and flavour, and cabbage which was soggy and lifeless. Definitely not coming here again, which is a shame as it lets down their other branch.

An average meal at best with minimal and disappointing service but they still charge 12.5% of service charge. We even asked for tap water 3 times and were never served. I would not recommend.

Made a mistake on my order - didn’t realise their banh mi came with Mayo- my fault entirely but they sorted it instantly without fuss - great customer service!

I visited on a Saturday afternoon at 3.45pm just in the nick of time because they close 4-5pm. Did mean I had to very much rush eating the banh mi but must confess I was glad I didn’t miss out. The hoi an deluxe banh mi was absolutely delicious, packed full of quality ingredients. It came to approx £11, the sign at the counter had a different price but this is for takeaway apparently - I think they should specify the price difference there personally.

Great place for a quick bite to eat or a sit down meal. I tried the Vietnamese sandwich for the first time (called Banh Mi) and was great. I didn’t have the noodles or rice bowls but they looked good too. Big portions and quality ingredients. Fast service.

Very good noodle and banh mi. Spring roll is fantastic as well. Staff are all welcoming and friendly

Popped into just grab a takeaway, decided on the roast duck Bhan mi. Payed and waited a few minutes. Food was served quickly quickly fresh and hot. Portion was good value and really nice flavours sauce wasn't too sweet and chill added just enough heat to be pleasant but not too intense. If your in the area highly recommend.

As a Vietnamese person, I am critical when it comes to banh mi but Keu has to be the most authentic and the only place in london who gets right with the actual banh mi itself crispy yet soft on the inside, with flavourful ingredients to top it off. My favourite is the original or the “ I would also recommend the “My Tho Noodle Soup”, it brings a homely heart warming feeling when drinking the broth and the pork is just sensationally tender. If you haven’t been already, don’t walk.. run!

Truly excellent food. Best Bahn Mi in London, and noodle bowls are incredible too. Ingredients are all high quality and fresh. Don’t miss this when in Soho.

Dropped in for lunch. Try the ramen…delicious, with fabulous depth of flavour. Having been to China several times this is as good as it gets in this country.

We decided to pop in for lunch expecting take-away option only! To our delight, there was outdoor seating. We ordered the crispy pork banh mi. Absolutely delicious flavours. Authentically prepared. Great service! Very reasonable prices. We will be back!

Really authentic Vietnamese street food. Pho are fab . Good portion , delicious . Well priced. Nice staff . The baguette filled like in Saigon are great like everything else .

I've been here a few times. Really like the Chicken Curry Pho as it is delicious. They do this really nicely and are generous with the chicken. If you like Pho it's definitely worth the visit.

So my friend suggested us to go to Keu to have “hu tieu” cos she was craving it. I ordered wonton noodles, summer rolls and beef jerky salad. The food was mediocre. The salad had no beef jerky, only 1 normal slice of beef. The summer rolls’s dipping sauce wasnt exactly authentic. And my wonton noodles was just “meh”. My friend didnt like her “hu tieu” much, she left half a bowl. I would like to come back and try their Banh mi though to see if it could change my view of the restaurant.

Excellent service. Music wasn’t too loud. Food was absolutely bloody brilliant. Make sure you have the papaya salad to start with!

店に入ると持ち帰りか、中で食べるか聞かれます。持ち帰りはカウンターで注文し、中で食べる人はテーブルに座って注文します。ロンドンにいるとアジアの食べ物が落ち着きます。フォーを食べましたが野菜、肉、エビなど具沢山であっさりとしていてすごく美味しかったです。値段はロンドン価格でした。もっと他にも色々食べてみたいです。

Beef stew and duck bánh mì were delicious. We’ll definitely come back. It would be great to see the hygiene rating go from 4 to 5.

Wandering along wondering what to eat we found Keu and thought we'd give it a try. We weren't disappointed. Great food, very reasonably priced and very fast service. If you're looking for something quick to eat and fancy noodles etc you won't beat Keu.

¡Uno de los mejores sándwiches (comprados en la tienda) que he probado! ¡Plenario de sabores y texturas diferentes! Gran té de jazmín también. Sé que está en soho, pero más de 10 por un té y un sándwich todavía es caro. Loco ocupado a la hora del almuerzo allí también. Volvería a probar otras opciones.

I am half Vietnamese and feel compelled to warn other Vietnamese people that the food at Kue is hugely disappointing. For everyone else, please do not think that the dishes at Kue are an accurate representation of Vietnamese food! Today was my third time desperately trying to like Kue. It’s in a great location and it’s a cute pastel coloured cafe. Win, win. But the food is BAD. REALLY BAD. I have no objection to the concept of fusion food, or adding a European twist to different world cuisines - these combinations can be great and a lot of places in London do fusion dishes so well, just not Kue. Today I had the worst Bahn mi of my life (if it can be called that - it feels like sacrilege). I can deal with the dense, thin baguette toasted to within an inch of its life (the opposite of typical light, fluffy, banh mi bread), but the fillings were just foul. I had the Kue Classic Banh mi with pork. The pork was so over cooked and marinated it just tasted like cheap oil and salt. I couldn’t actually taste meat. I also couldn’t taste the pate, cucumber, or carrot because of the over-fried meat. These key ingredients should be able to be appreciated! The only saving grace was the coriander. I could at least taste that! I would rather have had a plain baguette with coriander to be honest... Then there are the Kue “summer rolls” (cold/fresh spring rolls). These are NOT MADE FRESH. The last time I was here for a late night snack at 9pm. I asked if I could have extra fresh herbs and was told “no, sorry we made them this morning (presumably before they opened at 11am), so we can’t make any changes”. This is not the type of food which should be made 12 hours ahead of time, or even 3 hours ahead. Major red flag, but I wanted to try anyway and I was punished. Dry, mostly rice noodle, TINY quantities of fresh ingredients. Each mouthful was like trying to eat a piece of kitchen paper towel. And finally, the one other occasion I tried Kue, I had a curry. If you like meat so fatty you can’t bite through it and have to swallow whole mouthfuls of gristle at a time, you’ll love it! I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Small menu but very tasty options. The noodles were excellent and broth flavoursome. Very limited wine selections. A bit pricey but this is London.

Este lugar sirve increíble bahn mi, el mejor en Londres en mi opinión. Si bien hay otras cosas en el menú, estas no son tan agradables, ni siquiera deberían servirse en el mismo restaurante. Los sándwiches son la estrella absoluta y excelentemente juntos. Los otros platos que probé saben a fideos instantáneos.

He comido el cerdo antes (varios tipos) y están en buena forma con eso, es bastante comida lo que te dan. Con el curry de berenjena, sin embargo, apenas se obtiene nada. No soy vegetariano, pero me gusta probar esas opciones, ya que la comida vegetariana puede ser deliciosa. Sentí que esto era algo que podría haber hecho en casa, solo que mejor (y eso es decir algo, soy una cocinera terrible). La porción era demasiado pequeña. Creo que visualmente la gente mira platos vegetarianos y piensa que si coinciden aproximadamente con los platos que comen carne, entonces es la misma cantidad de comida. No lo es Necesita aproximadamente el doble de esa cantidad debido a lo fácil que es descomponer los alimentos. Deben agregar más tofu o crear una especie de asado de nueces. Realmente necesitan doblar la cantidad de verduras. Me preocupé cuando mi tazón para llevar llegó demasiado rápido. ¡Todavía estoy tan hambriento!También estaría de acuerdo con el comentarista anterior en el personal. No son amigables. He oído que esta es la forma vietnamita, pero obviamente no es la forma aquí (si podemos evitarlo). No me importa la mayoría de ellos, pero hay un joven que es ridículamente abrupto. Puedo pasar por alto esto para una buena comida sin embargo. Es una pena que no lo haya experimentado esta vez.

The food itself was great, but a really poor customer experience. My friend can't have wheat and he ordered a curry and was served a sandwich, he politely pointed out it was the curry he ordered but was told no he ordered the sandwich (can't eat bread) and they insisted he still paid for it. They did bring the curry but point blank refused to knock their mistake from the bill. Really poor service I'm afraid.

No había visitado por mucho tiempo pero solía comer aquí a menudo. Fui en este fin de semana y siento que, lamentablemente, fue mucho mejor hace unos años. Solía ser un buen valor, pero ahora obtienes mucho menos por un precio más alto, lo cual es una pena.

Una noche de martes muy concurrida en Soho, nos encontramos con Keu cuando 4 de nosotros buscábamos comer algo. Los rollos de verano eran fantásticos, hierbas muy frescas, sabores eran geniales. Los platos principales también eran buenos, aunque un poco menos vietnamitas y posiblemente más cantoneses - carne, arroz, fideos - todavía, todos sabrosos. Bonita tarde.

We came in here just as they were about to close (close to 10pm). The waiter was very friendly & inviting & not in a hurry to close up. I ordered won ton noodles. Was absolutely deilcious. One of the nicest soup noodles I've had & I've had many. The broth was very tasty & a good mixture of char sui, won tons & prawn. Very substantial tasty meal..perfect for anytime of the day. Wasn't heavy as woke up fine next day after eating so late. Great value for money!

Paré para cenar temprano y fue el único cliente allí. La camarera era educada y atenta y el ambiente informal pero agradable. Pedí un pho a base de cerdo y un batido para acompañarlo. Tanto el pho como la bebida sabían muy bien y la cantidad también era buena. Dicho esto, pensé que mi pedido era demasiado caro en comparación con lugares vietnamitas similares en los que yo también he estado Además, un poco de "Gracias, vuelve" al salir del hombre que está detrás de la barra / mostrador hubiera sido agradable.

He sido un gran fan de Keu por un tiempo, y no tiendo a escribir críticas negativas en TripAdvisor, pero al haber visitado recientemente a un amigo del restaurante, me decepcionó bastante la experiencia.

Pho quiet average, nothing special, no significant flavour, therefore if I would come back I would try the Banh sandwich instead of a soup. Maybe just different taste than others.

We have been many times to this place and found that the service today was not acceptable. We found a hair in the meal and was offered a replacement meal, however we weren't interested in a replacement meal, my wife just wanted to leave the place. Upon paying full price, no real apology or effort made to resolve the situation. We found no person to talk too who was willing to take responsibility. The part time staff gave the impression that they couldn't care at all and that it wasn't their problem. Very Disappointed.

I had the classic Banh Mei and it was delicious! The Vietnamese coleslaw is also excellent. My friend had a noodle soup bowl which was huge and tasty and the papaya salad was spicy and very tasty.

여행 중 느끼한 음식에 물릴때 즈음, 점심으로 쌀국수 먹으려고 찾아간 곳인데, 의외로 상당히 맛있어서 굉장히 만족스럽게 식사를 했었습니다. 쌀국수 먹고 싶어서 찾고 있는 분이라면 추천할 만한 레스토랑이라고 생각됩니다. 그리고, 영국에서 누들 류의 음식을 먹을때 항상 느끼는 거지만, 국물은 아주 뜨겁지 않습니다. 충분히 따뜻할 정도의 온도입니다.

Pedí un tazón de arroz con pollo al curry. Era una porción de buen tamaño pero, para ser sincero, no sabía mucho mejor que una comida preparada para el supermercado, además de que la carne estaba seca. Lo único positivo fue que las pocas verduras dentro del curry eran agradables y frescas y no estaban demasiado cocidas.

Stopped off here for some lunch (and to escape Oxford Street). I was surprised how good the Hoi An banh mi was. The steamed roll also good. The shrimp wrap was a little disappointing/low on flavour but I’ll definitely be paying another visit!

Sohoにあり、価格もとても手軽でカジュアルなレストラン。ベトナム料理はなれていないので、ウェイトレスさんがお勧めなどを教えてくれて食べ方なども見せてくれた。暑い日の料理（付け麺）と涼しい日の料理（普通の丼の麺）と分かりやすくメニューも説明もしてくれた。面に入っていた野菜やハーブも新鮮でおいしかったです。

Arrivés par hasard au gré de notre ballade, une adresse bien sympa pour déjeuner à prix moyens. Mon plat de bœuf était savoureux, et mon fils a également apprécié son chicken curry.

So a friend begged me to go here, and got to say the menu looked great. Food came in good time but unfortunately rice was hard, the meat (dry AF) and greens were cold. I asked if it was supposed to be a cold dish and the waitress said ummm no, then they put it in the microwave for a minute and told me the plate was boiling hot and the food was still cold....this place is nuts! Waitress didn’t seem to care or apologise. ODD!

I came by Keu for the first time and got takeaway. I would tend to agree with another reviewer that much of the menu were cantonese-style dishes especially the rice section - aside from the banh mi (filled baguettes) and goi cuon (summer rolls). Having said that, I found both my ordered items delicious, and ultimately it’s the taste that counts...and a half-sized toasted sourdough baguette packed with fresh ingredients for less than £7 is a steal in London!

Yo tenía el almuerzo hoy aquí. Fue buena. Tiene un menú inusual con una amplia variedad de platos a elegir. Se puede comer en el restaurante o para llevar. Todo muy informal y relajado. Tuve la caballa caballa picante Bowl que era con arroz. Muy sabrosa. Muchas otras opciones a elegir. Me alegraría probarlo de nuevo para probar algunos de los otros platos.

Really loved our lunch here had a couple of sandwiches, really fresh ingredients, great taste, very well priced, really enjoyed it!

El personal de t-shirt dice "La comida de la calle saigón". Hubiera sido más exacto decir "La comida de la calle chợ lớn Lớn" (Chợ sài Gòn es barrio chino). El bánh mì aparte de, la mayoría de los otros platos (especialmente los platos de fideos chinos). La salsa para la ensalada verde de la papaya es auténtica, pero en VN, se sirve đủ gỏi đu con carne de ternera, cortada al pecho no. No importa, la comida es buena, el ambiente energético, servicio es rápido y amable, y los precios son razonables. No son tacaños en personal, así que la espera no es larga, incluso cuando las colas.

La comida aquí es increíblemente auténtico y ambiente relajado. Los platos pueden ser un poco caro, pero teniendo en cuenta el servicio amable y eficiente, y la zona - no tengo ninguna queja. La sopa wonton es llena de sabor y me recuerda a mi madre. El caldo es salado y delicioso. Yo vengo aquí con frecuencia con mi novio, pero hemos comido aquí solo, con amigos y familia también.

Very poor. Pho (the chain) is overpriced, but the food is good and pretty authentic... this was more expensive and the dishes were over salted and flavorless, noodles had patches that were hard and stuck together.

I work in the area and decided to venture out further for my lunch as opposed to the places nearby. I passed this place and walked in without a clue to what I wanted.

Nice little restaurant in soho,been here a bunch of times ,the classic banh mi with chicken liver pate,pork floss,pork belly and crispy fresh veggies is a absolute delight as is the three meet rice ,great place to pop in for a quick bite

First time here. My rice bowl had little flavour, with the aubergine and tofu in pretty huge lumps! Other Vietnamese and noddle/rice places in Soho-Chinatown are much better - and slightly cheaper. I don't plan to come back

It is now impossible for my partner and I to visit London and not get a banh mi here, they are the most amazing and delicious things ever. And the staff in Keu are absolutely wonderful so friendly and kind that it's such a nice experience going here. I love it so much! And oh my goodness the iced coffee is the nicest drink ever it's so thick and sweet and delicious! I recommend every coffee lover or sweet toothed guy or gal to get themselves one of these here! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Cute open plan Viet in Soho.Char siu bao bun and Summer rolls were typical and quite tasty ,but at 10 and 12 pounds respectively for a plate of (very fatty) crispy pork belly and an average Pho,the bill came in at over 20 pounds a head.

Stumbled across this place with my girlfriend when we were in soho looking for lunch. Got seated very quickly and friendly staff. Ordered two of the special sandwiches. They were nice but hardly any filling, too much salad inside and not evenly spread so you either got a bite of bread and chicken or you got bread and salad. Also massively overpriced, and I say that as a Londoner!

I have used Keu for a quick meal or takeaway a number of times in the last two years. The...

Primo ristorante della mia vita. E mi è piaciuto moltissimo. Una baguette con pollo e salse varie, deliziosa. Una zuppa...

Mi sándwich perfecto prohibición. El pollo al curry fue impresionante. Volveré y probar más. Servicio y baños son tanto decente.

Me encanta la comida vietnamita y he viajado en Vietnam, así que cuando un amigo nos sugirió que vaya aquí para el almuerzo estaba entusiasmado y he vuelto ya! La comida era fresca y sabrosa a un precio muy razonable. He tenido tanto la sabrosos sandwiches que están lejos mucho más auténtico que lo que yo esperaba y el increíble sopa que es abundante y fresca. Los asientos son limitados, así que espera un retraso y escasez durante las horas punta, pero vale la pena la espera. Nunca he tenido, pero mi amigo el aguacate es adepta batido!

This is really good Vietnamese food. Everything is fresh. We had summer rolls and 2 different kinds of soup. It's better than a lot of the places in Dalston and way better than that chain "Pho". Prices are average for central London but I think it's well worth it. Service was fine. There was actually only one server and she managed pretty well. We're definitely going back!

I came here specifically to try their banh mi after reading so many positive reviews. I am so glad I went a little out my way to come here. I got the pork belly banh mi to take away as the seating area was full. I asked for paté and they were more than happy to add for me. The bread roll was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and light in the middle. The flavours of the pickle were lovely and refreshing. A little more salad and some coriander would have been nice. The pork belly was fresh, juicy with a nice crisp skin. Whilst I was waiting I glanced at the other dishes being served and all looked very tasty. I will definitely be back soon to sample some of the other dishes.

We had a noodle soup with prawns and pork that tasted vey good. The ingredients were fresh, the vegetables were crunchy and not overcooked, we will definitely come back again.

This is a regular lunch place for my colleagues and I. Fresh, fast, tasty and very reasonably priced. The Mackerel bowl is a particular favourite. Loads of flavour and spice. I have tried most things in this place and its all been good. Can get a bit crowded at lunchtime but it all adds to the atmosphere. Always come out of here in a better mood than when I went in!

Saw this while walking and decided to return for a late lunch - so glad I did. We had summer roles and banh mi, hot french bread sandwiches. They were the closest to the ones you can get from Saigon street vendors that I've had in London so this is now on my list to come back every time I'm in Soho.

３種類のサンドイッチ(バインミー)とポークの角煮の丼をシェアしました。どれもハズレなしで美味しかったです。ご飯も日本米に近く、海外で日本食レストラン以外で食べる白米は通常不味いは覆されました。

Magnifica relación calidad/precio. Raciones mas que generosas. Probamos el pork belly crujiente con pak choi: excelente!. Recomendable también Muy interesante el smoky aubergine bowl, la berenjena estaba muy tierna y con un sabor delicado (el tamarindo quizás??) Volveremos seguro, la próxima vez probare un bocadillo que vi que era uno de los platos mas demandados. Chapeau!

I wanted to try the Bao place round the corner but even at 6pm on a weekday there was a massive queue out the door, so I tried Keu instead and glad I did! There were loads of free tables and I was served straight away. The tasty aromas from the kitchen hit me straight away. I am pregnant so food is high on my priority list right now and I don't like to wait either! Luckily my wonton noodles with pork dumplings, prawn and 5-spice pork came within a few minutes of ordering and it was the best pho I've tried in London. Every bite packed a punch, and the sweet/spicy sauce on the side was a tasty addition. The staff were friendly and even charged my phone for me. I disagree with "discretionary" tips being added to the bill. I have come across this in other Vietnamese restaurants but I don't think it goes down with well most people in UK. I would have tipped anyway because the staff were so nice but would prefer to add it myself. The atmosphere was relaxed, kind of a mix between no-fuss SE asian cafe and American diner, complete with plastic (but tasteful) seating and neon lights in the windows. I'm surprised it wasn't busier but maybe I was there too early. I will definitely make a special trip back to try the rest of the menu. Why stand outside in the rain waiting for a space in the cramped place next door, when you can come here and get served straight away? It was slightly pricier than you might expect but worth it for me. The noodle soups were priced £9:50-£11:50 to eat in, less to take away. I will be recommending this place to my friends!!

I went for a take out lunch on a recommendation from a colleague. The pork belly is a little expensive, however it was delicious. Service was very quick despite being very busy. I will be going back to try the other items on the menu.

I absolutely love this place. There are a lot of places to eat in soho but nowhere with good pho bowls and excellent bahn mi rolls. Well flavoured and cooked really fast, perfect for lunch breaks

We wasted an hour getting there only to find even though their website claimed they opened at 10am they 'weren't ready' until 12pm. Then they had the gall to charge for the flavoured water my daughter had already had before they'd told us they weren't ready to serve us and we would have to wait half an hour more at least for the bhan mi we wanted. Pathetic!

Not sure why you would sit in for a serious meal. Its just not that kind of place. Just expect a bloody good dish - serviced with a sprinkle of attitude.end of.

DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY! One of the worst experiences in a restaurant I've ever had. You have to give a circle rating - I wish I could give it a minus rating!A friend and I went in on a Friday night. Plenty of staff just standing around yet the service was appalling. The waiter taking our order didn't even look at us - just grunted that they didn't have what we wanted. We ordered others things..... but the waiter didn't put in the full order. I had to remind him and which point he clearly went to the service station and finally put in the rest of the order - without apologising. We'd also asked for water and tried to order more drinks.... but no drinks showed up and when we tried again to order the staff went out of their way to ignore us.... just as well as the glasses we were given were filthy!! The food itself was passable - we had the summer rolls and Banh Mi.... when it eventually turned up. Was just ok at best. I went to the single restroom and halfway through using it, someone picked the lock and opened the door!?!?!?We had to ask for the bill 3 times before getting it. Again treated as though we were inconveniencing them. When I asked the waiter to remove the service charge as we didn't receive any service he again refused to look at us or acknowledge any fault. He just shrugged and muttered under his breath. Soho is full of great places and a growing number of excellent Vietnamese places so do not waste your money on a place that couldn't care less about its customers.

Situado en el centro de Londres, Soho. Comida deliciosa, diferente, buenos productos y con un precio muy interesante. Si algunas vez viajas a Londres y andas por el centro parada obligada. Muy recomendable

For £9.50 the takeaway pork wonton wasn't cheap but it was delicious + a big portion. Worth the money.

So my friends visited me in London today and I decided to take them to Keu, as one of my favourite places for lunch. Especially the one in Shoreditch. I must say that I was very disappointed with your service today. We came around 2/2:30 pm. We were seated down and given the menu, our order was taken. We asked for 2 beef stew bowls and one char siu with rice, I also ordered a sparkling water as my friends did not want any drink. When one of your of your staff (European girl) brought the water to our table, she asked my friends whether they wanted tap water. They said no and she pointed out that it was free ( like if my friends did not have money). After she left, she spoke to her colleague (Asian guy) and said to him "most people always ask if they can have tap water but they do not want anything". She probably thought we did not hear that but the way she said it was very sarcastic and offended my friends. Next, our food came, which I am not gonna comment as my review is about the service we were given. After finishing our food we sat there with empty bowls waiting for someone to notice us. After some time, they came and collected the bowls without asking whether we would like something else or the bill. I was still finishing my water and when it was finished, were ready to pay. However, none of your 7-8 staff noticed us. They were too busy chatting and folding the napkins. Two girls even sat down to eat. Two others were folding napkins, looking at us but ignoring, despite we gave then the look and waved our wallets. None of them approached us. Then two of your male staff sat down to eat as well, again without noticing us. So 4 staff were eating, 1 folding napkins, and others behind the counter. We waited for about 15 minutes when my friend got really annoyed and stoop up herself to tell the waitress we would like to pay. It was not even busy in there and so many staff could not do their job properly. I am sorry to say that but this experience really puts me off. I will not be coming back to this branch. Totally ruined lunch with friends.

On a hot summer night sitting in the window seats watching the world go by drinking chilled beers and eating excellent Saigon street food. What could be better? The starter coleslaw was so tasty we could have enjoyed it as a main. Then came our mains. Both had a wow factor. They looked great, were presented well and served very nicely. Then, they tasted absolutely delightful. We cleaned up every scrap. The place was not very busy on our visit but the atmosphere was nice and we really liked the layout of window bench seats and big tables in the centre. This was our first visit, we will definitely return.

ottimo cibo , siamo stati a cena e abbiamo trovato un gradevole e accogliente locale .ottimo cibo pulizia gentilezza consiglio di provare

As a lunchtime treat (slightly on the expensive side for Vietnamese), this is a great place for casual Vietnamese. The wonton noodle soup with hand made egg noodles is so delicious in 24 pork broth.

Ci siamo imbattuti per caso in questo localino di cucina vietnamita e attirati dalle insegne al neon e dalle rifiniture laccate di azzurro siamo entrati timidamente. L'arredamento è molto sobrio: grandi banconi di legno nel centro, molto piccolo, del locale e anche a ridosso delle grandi vetrate che danno sulla strada. Ci si può sedere accanto a sconosciuti sulla stessa panca o anche avere dei tavolini più intimi. L'atmosfera era molto rilassata. Ci hanno indicato il nostro tavolo (vicino alle scale che portano alla cucina e ad un altarino colorato con candele, presumo buddista). Il menù (più costoso se si mangia seduti) prevede degli starter, delle baguette e delle ciotole di riso o noodle. Abbiamo preso dei rotolini di riso e gamberi, avvolti da una appiccicosa pellicola trasparente, accompagnati da una meravigliosa salsa scura con arachidi come antipasto da dividere. Poi abbiamo preso una ciotola di riso al curry con il pollo e una di riso con manzo a tocchetti, cetrioli e porro. Sul tavolo ci sono varie salse piccanti e un recipiente con dei peperoncini tagliati a pezzi. Sono disponibili sia le bacchette che le posate. Le porzioni erano sostanziose e costavano sull'ordine delle dieci sterline l'una. Buonissima prima esperienza!

I tried Keu today as I noticed it last week on my way back from work. The beef banh mi was ok but a bit neutral tasting and a bit too salty.The ingredients were not spread out evenly in the sandwich so you suddenly bit into quite concentrated child after 10 minutes of neutral taste. Difficult to identify the ingredients as well which make me question how fresh they were. The beef was good.The staff however was less than welcoming - no greetings, no smiles, nothing. On the way out, the waiting staff standing near the door did not thank me or say goodbye either.I think for a £6.50 bill for a sandwich I could at least get a thank you.I love vietnamese food but I think I'll stick to Pho. They know how to make people feel welcome.

In a bit if a rush, thought we'd try it. Food came within minutes of order. I had won ton dumpling soup and my wife the chicken coconut curry. Both very tasty. Good place to go for good food if you are in a hurry.

The manager completely clueless as are the waiting staff about the menu and what are they cooking in this joint. Ordered papaya summer rolls. Was served cabbage rolls instead. No papaya in whatsoever, apparently that's how they do them, without the main ingredient in the name, but insisted on charging for the "papaya rolls" and even argued with us that we took a bite, before discovering their scam. Chicken curry had funny smell and taste. Didn't finish This joint Should be close down.

Decided to try this place after passing by a few times when I was walking in Soho.The menu is obviously Viet with a few Chinese inspired dishes like Wonton Noodle.The bahn mi i ordered was good, baguette and filling was tasty.I wouldn't consider this the best Viet restaurant in London but it could certainly fulfill your craving for Viet food if you around the Soho area

Don't think they have traditional pho but we had some of their rice bowls which hit the spot when we were famished and walking by. Everything around that area is pretty pricey, this was the closest Asian food at the time. Much cleaner and nicer than anything in Chinatown.

They delivered wrong food, and it was not tasty at all. Sure it is Vietnamese street food, but over charing for such a low quality food. Staff does not understand English so well, totally ignorant. Thanks for charing discretionary tips even I did not ask for it.

When I went in today, I saw the pricing of a banh mi and wanted to walk right out. £7.50 for a sandwich is way overpriced, but since I was missing home and Vietnamese cooking, I bit the bullet and stayed since I figured it would be fine. As soon as the banh mi thit came out to my table, my face dropped. It was the TINIEST banh mi I have ever had in my life (and as a Viet, I've had A LOT)! It was the length of both my hands (Palm to fingers; they're abnormally small) and the width was about 1/3 of my hand. The flavor was average and nothing special. It didn't have the yummy banh mi smell you normally smell in a good banh mi. No coriander leaves, not 1. That was the biggest disappointment (food-wise) on my 2 months trip so far. The only good thing was the softness of the bread. Although severely disappointed, I thought "okay fine. You've learned your lesson. Don't come back". The bill came out and my face dropped again. A service fee? For what? Bringing out a plate of disappointment and clearing my plate? I barely spoke to my server, let alone got serviced.I was so disappointed, I couldn't wait to write my first review of a restaurant. So, if you're Vietnamese (or want reasonable priced Vietnamese food), I would say skip this place.Wish I could get my cash back. Wouldn't go back even if you paid me.

- we had summer rolls and noodle beef- delicious rolls , soft and well cooked beef- very reasonable prices- centrally located ( soho area )- authentic Vietnamese cuisine at Soho

Had never heard of this place before and found it walking around Soho.Very fresh and tasty food. Small menu which is unlike any other Vietnamese restaurant I've been to in London.Belly of Pork rice dish was excellent. I will return.

Went here last weekend, the food was plentiful and full of flavour, also very reasonably priced for central London.

They don't offer traditional tho but have another one with beef + ramen or another one with pork and scrimp. It tasted good but I don't like the wooden spoon and hop stick, because when I'm eating the soup it tasted like wood... I cannot imagine that the wooden spoon is been reuse thousand of times! Argh...a bit over price as well for that quality.

Put off by the long queue for seating at Bao, we decided to head to Keu. Couldn't have made a better choice. The premises was clean and bright and the service, friendly. The menu wasn't extensive, meaning they were good at what they did. We enjoyed the steamed buns, noodles and the Banh Mi (the toasted baguette) - all very authentic!Will definitely go back.

Don't bother ordering anything but the banh mi it's soo nice. The thid with rice want nice at all. And the drink was over priced for a squeeze of lime in soda water. But would go back for the banh mi.

Popped in for lunch on a colleagues recommendation. Had a tasty filling beef baguette that was authentic enough to remind me of eating street food in Saigon. Will be back to sample more of the food soon.

De la cuisine vietnamienne authentique. Les plats sont épicés mais tout à fait abordable pour un palais non initié. L'addition est Londonienne donc attention aux extras

I had the only vegetarian main option on the menu and I thought it was pretty poor tbh. It cost £9 and it was sloppy and didn't have much flavour at all. I had to do something to it with chilli sauce etc to give it something. Wasn't looking for spicy just had to do something to bring it to life. A dull dish with a price that commands expectations. Failed to deliver.

I recently spent a month in Vietnam, where I became a big fan of the cuisine, particularly the banh mi. On my return to London I've eaten around to find authentic substitutes, with varying degrees of success.The Keu "Classic" Banh Mi was a real disappointment. It was stodgy, lacking in flavour and basically tasted like a boring pate baguette. When I asked the server if they had rice flour baguettes, she looked confused, like I was making a weird request, and said "just white and brown bread". One of the first rules of an authentic, light banh mi is you need to use rice flour bread. Wheat flour is just too stodgy.At £6.80, this was pretty disappointing. Nice venue, good location, but from this experience I won't be returning.

Average place for lunch - the food is quite spicy, when its not meant to be and you will stink of food when you leave. The service is not that good as well.

Good Japenese/Korean food. Ramen soups really filling. Not cheap but good quality and quicly served. Handy for Soho and Oxford Street.

I love this place, busy and bustling for lunch - the noodle soup was delicious the baguettes are so tasty, been several times and always great tasty food. Cheap and cheerful in Soho, service friendly. Great find !

das design ist minimalistisch, viel holz, sehr gemütlich, viele junge leute. das essen kommt schnell und ist sehr gut, könnte aber besser potioniert werden. mein reisbowl mit curry hatte zu wenig sauße, ich musste die unterste hälfte des bowls trocken, ohne curry essen.. da viel los war, war es mir nicht möglich nach mehr sauße zu fragen. die suppen sind auch ganz gut, da wiederrum zu viel flüssigkeit. der avocadoshake war der hammer!

We were here for a quick pre-theatre bite to eat and were not very impressed. I had the chicken Banh Mi. The curry sauce around the chicken was quite bland and the only chilii was in the form of big raw slices (complete with seeds) in the surrounding salad. Why not give the curry some nice spice instead? Overall, OK for a quick bite, however we will not be heading back.

Nice bright airy place with big windows in soho. It was surprisingly quiet, not sure why as the food is very good. My steamed dumpling was huge with good texture and lots of filling, and my Banh Mi was made fresh on the traditional rice flour baguette with loads of fresh tasty ingredients by friendly polite staff. If it wasn't for the grey drizzly skies of London it could have taken me back to my holiday in Vietnam.
