Pho-nomenal.
Banh Mi11
Seriously underrated little Vietnamese place in Old Street. I used to go here for lunch all the time when I worked in the area, and their lunch boxes were consistently some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in London (and as this list will soon establish, I pretty much live off Vietnamese food).

House of Ho
House of Ho is run by a man called Bobby Chinn, who, from what I can tell, is Vietnam’s Jamie Oliver, but with less olive oil. His flagship restaurants in Vietnam are wildly popular, and House of Ho is the London-based sister restaurant. The food strikes just the right balance of feeling like something special without being inaccessible – they do tons of regular offers and discounts (e.g. their current February menu), so if you’re pinching pennies keep an eye out.

Com Viet
This place doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside it’s lovely. Cosy booths, friendly staff, tasty food, and a killer £10 set lunch menu, which, for Covent Garden (the tourist mecca of London) is pretty damn good.

Banh Mi Bay
Does what it says on the tin. This place specialises in banh mi (which they helped make “a thing” in London), done speedily and deliciously. They’ve got locations all over central London too, so you can be reassured you’re never too far from a decent banh mi. That kind of peace of mind is priceless.
