Time Out review "London's best Vietnamese restaurants", School of Wok, and the Ideal Home Show, London Olympia
NEWS
Hi Everyone,
As a British Vietnamese, I’m often asked which Vietnamese restaurants in London are best. I was super excited to be asked by Time Out to write a review of my top 20!
It was a wonderful opportunity to visit outstanding restaurants owned by passionate Chef Patrons and entrepreneurial Vietnamese families with very inspirational stories! Some were “boat people” or other political migrants following the end of the Vietnam War who brought their treasured recipes. Others were economic migrants, even students who came to study in the city then becoming passionate about its food industry before finally setting up businesses. It was a real pleasure to meet them all. The restaurants ranged from bakeries and café-style eateries to stylish fine dining and those with innovative concepts. Taken together, they are making a huge impact on London’s food scene. I have put a few images from my visits to these superb restaurants below, but please do read my review at:

I also want to convey my gratitude to Time Out’s Food and Drink Editor, Leonie Cooper. It was an honour to work with her. Do visit these fantastic places as you will be in for a treat!
