10 Vietnamese kitchens in Spitalfields & Brick Lane.
Part of The Vietnamese Ledger. Every kitchen here gets the same three-voices check as every other: what the business claims, what customers reveal in reviews — quoted, with receipts — and what only the owner can confirm. Updated 30 July 2026.
How we verify
Every kitchen here is checked three ways: what the business claims in its own listing, what customers actually say in reviews (quoted, not paraphrased), and what only the owner can confirm — which we hold as an open question until they answer it themselves. We won’t list a “Vietnamese” kitchen if reviews contradict the claim; that’s cost places their listing before.
Full menu3 Mien
Compact, unfussy Vietnamese diner near Aldgate spanning all three regions (its name means '3 regions') — pho, vermicelli and rice plates in generous portions.
Full menuHohaki
Chill Aldgate Vietnamese near Petticoat Lane — rice plates, grilled bún and noodle soups at value prices; pho and banh mi bread aren't the strong suit.
Phở specialistPho Brunch
Homely, budget-friendly northern-Vietnamese spot on Commercial St (Spitalfields) serving comforting phở and BBQ-pork bánh mì; quick, warm service in a dated room.
Phở specialistViet Pho – Vietnamese Iconic Pho
Warm, home-cooking Vietnamese on Commercial St praised for authentic phở (even custom broths), halal meat and a vegan menu; generous portions, homemade chilli paste, great for solo diners.
ModernSông Quê - Phở Bar
A newer, plant-filled Vietnamese phở-and-cocktail bar on Commercial St under the Sông Quê name; licensed bar, standout lemongrass chicken and iced salt coffee, still ironing out kitchen timing.
Bánh mì & street foodUtea Spitalfields - The Banh Mi Cart & Boba Cafe
A Vietnamese bánh mì cart and boba café near Petticoat Lane, run by a friendly couple; grilled-pork and curry-tofu bánh mì plus 'less sugar, more flavour' milk teas in a relaxed sit-in space.
Bánh mì & street foodJust Pho
Vietnamese street-food stall in Brick Lane's Upmarket — comforting beef pho and curries, though several diners flag the banh mi and vermicelli bowls as inauthentic.
ModernCAPHE
Specialty Vietnamese coffee stall in Old Spitalfields Market (also seen at Brick Lane) run by founder Derek — salted and egg coffees plus creative pastries/cookies; a craft-coffee destination rather than a kitchen.
Bánh mì & street foodPho Street Eats
Small Vietnamese street-food stall tucked inside Spitalfields Market, best known for its pork bánh mì and a well-praised phở, run by a warm, attentive cook.
Bánh mì & street foodBanme
Vietnamese banh mi stall inside Boxpark Shoreditch — charsiu banh mi is the pick; a couple of reviews want more punch (fish sauce/chilli) in the fillings.
