Khoai Cafe is a Vietnamese gem nestled in London, earning rave reviews from locals and visitors alike. The restaurant has quickly established itself as a favorite, not just for its authentic cuisine but also for its warm, welcoming atmosphere. Patrons rave about the diverse menu, which has recently expanded to include delectable vegan and vegetarian options, making it an inviting choice for everyone.

Ian G shares his love for their fried aubergine, seasoned perfectly with garlic and chili, a must-try starter. For main courses, the pho chay noodle soup dazzles with a rich broth and generous tofu, while the buh chay offers a savory delight, topped with a flavorful sauce. Fran, another satisfied customer, cannot stop praising the crispy egg noodles stir-fried with mixed vegetables, affirming that her meal rates a perfect 10/10.

The attentive service enhances the experience, with friendly staff ensuring that guests feel at home—making each visit memorable. Khoai Cafe is commended not only for its delicious dishes, like the spring rolls and banh xeo pancakes, but also for its refreshing selection of Vietnamese beers. Mario Caruso sums it up perfectly: Khoai Cafe is undoubtedly one of the best Vietnamese eateries in Europe, and its vibrant atmosphere invites you to come back for more!

As a foodie, I like to try new restaurants. However, there are some that draw me back due to their exceptional food. Khoai Cafe is a place that draws me back and has recently extended their already delicious menu with amazing vegan and vegetarian dishes, and with a vegetarian partner, they are a brilliant sight. On our latest visit, we started off with the fried aubergine. It was a generous portion and deliciously seasoned with garlic and chilli. For my main, I went with the pho chay noodle soup with tofu. It was a large portion of beautiful broth, noodles, and lots of tofu. There were also extra bean sprouts, chills, lemon, and mint, which were delicious when added. My partner went for the buh chay with tofu. It was a generous portion and topped with a tasty sauce. She enjoyed it so much that she finished it before me (a first!) All finished off with a nice crisp Vietnamese beer. Highly recommended!

We are residents of Crouch End and this amazing restaurant is easily up there, if not the best we have eaten in. The staff are so welcoming and recommended great choices. We spoke with the owner who is such a lovely guy, and he has so much passion for his food. And rightly so as it is delicious! He gave us some great recommendations of what to eat. The service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed, and the interior is very nice and comfortable. My partner ordered BUN SA CHAY with beef and I had the Crispy Egg Noodles Stir-Fried with mixed vegetables with Tofu. We both rated our meals as 10/10. I can't express how lovely the food was. Also, the beers (We had one from South Vietnam and the other from North Vietnam) and were lovely. We were also given table water which I think is always a nice touch. Be coming back to eat here soon!

This restaurant has very authentic and delicious Vietnamese food. We had the spring rolls which were crispy and tasty, the sesame toast which was crunchy and delicious. We also had the beef noodle soup, which the broth was incredibly rich and fragrant as well as the banh xeo pancakes which had lots of fresh delicious vegetables. The service was also great as the waiters and waitresses are both attentive and friendly. Thank you for having us!

A fantastic meal made even better by the exceptional service from our waitress, Zaomba. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we wanted throughout our visit. The food was delicious, but it's the outstanding service that truly made the experience memorable. We will definitely be returning.

Super swift staff, uncomplicated delicious Vietnamese food. Service was unbelievably quick and friendly. We opted for the prawn toast, crispy pancake and noodles. Extremely popular, was very busy on a Monday night so pleased we booked in advance!

A fine Vietnamese restaurant. My friends recommended this to me since I am a huge fan of the oriental cuisine. Upon arrival I was greeted by friendly staff who welcomed me. I was willing to try anything. To start off, I chose a nice starter, I think it was the Beef La Lot which was cooked beef meatballs wrapped in leaves. It came with a sauce to dip them in. For the main course I chose the Special Pho noodle soup that came with chicken, beef and seafood. All of that was accompanied with prawn crackers. It was a fantastic meal and I really enjoyed myself. I highly recommend and I will certainly return. _
