“ Good place for trying Vietnamese food. Big tasty bowl of pho, crispy summer rolls and traditional Banh Cuon. Nice and attentive staff. ”
“ Amazingly authentic food! Here you can find so many special authentic dishes that other Vietnamese places don’t do (most of them just do the standard types of food like pho). I’d say it’s so far the best Vietnamese place I’ve tried in London. ”
“ Fantastic! We found this place after the restaurant I wanted to go to closed down, then the second had no veggie stock for the Pho. Google led us to this random location and so glad we came.... Tofu summer roles, looked amazing, and so fresh with crisp lettuce I didn’t want to stop eating them... the Pho main was equally yummy! Without a doubt I would not hesitate to recommend this place. Admittedly we came at 5pm so we were the only customers, and we only had the 1 starter and 2 mains, however it was faultless! Need I say more. ”
“ The most authentic Vietnamese food I've had in London. The location is really great as well, just a few steps from the overground station. ”
“ One of the best hidden gems for Vietnamese food in the area. Their pho is rich and fragrant, with a proper broth that’s clearly been simmered for hours. Portions are generous, and the meat is tender — especially the beef brisket and rare steak options. The menu has more than just soup — banh mi, rice dishes, and spring rolls are all worth trying. Everything feels homemade and comforting. Prices are reasonable, especially for London, and the food comes out quickly. The cafe itself is simple but clean, with a relaxed, no-frills vibe. Staff are friendly and efficient. Ideal for a quick lunch or casual dinner if you're in Surrey Quays or around Canada Water. Authentic, tasty, and consistent — a proper local spot. ”
“ The food was excellent, with vibrant flavors in every dish. Each dish was beautifully plated. The menu offered a great selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes, including vegetarian options. The staff was attentive and friendly. They offered helpful recommendations. The decor was warm and inviting, with Vietnamese art on the walls. The space was clean, and the lighting was cozy. Reasonably priced. ”
“ Cycle pass this place on a weekly basis and visited for the 1st time last week, and revisit 1 day after! All staffs are nice, caring and friendly, service is quick and food is fresh. Proved by Vietnamese friend who said food there taste just like home and 100% recommend everyone to order there coconut dessert it’s not written on the menu but lemme tell you it’s the combination of all the yum yum stuff: coconut sticky pudding as the base, then topped with fresh coconut peel, dry coconut peel, dry peanuts, tapioca pear and coconut jelly, the pudding or one of the topping has a salty note in it so it’s not just boring plain sweet, plus it’s NOT SWEET ( in a good way), all these combinations made me cannot stop my spoon even though am already very full after eating some beef pho( also good and recommend!) ”
“ Whenever I crave the taste of home as a Vietnamese international student in the UK, Thuy Tay is my go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. For me, it's the most genuine and delicious experience I've found here. One of my favorite dishes is the Pho with stir-fried beef and garlic, topped with extra well-done beef (Pho tai lan them gau). The pho broth is richer than most but still maintains a light, balanced flavor, and the beef is tender and perfectly cooked. Another standout is the vermicelli with grilled pork and special fish sauce (Bun thit nuong Ha Noi). The pork is seasoned to perfection, bursting with flavor in every bite. I also tried Banh Xeo. While it was enjoyable, I'd rate it a solid 7/10. Service is quick, and there's an added bonus—a 10% discount if you pay in cash. Overall, I was thoroughly satisfied and will definitely be returning to Thuy Tay. ”
