Banh Mi Keu Deli Soho Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "We had the specialty banh mi and it was brilliant! Fresh coriander and pickled cucumber and daikon, moist pate and meat, and a lovely toasted and crusty baguette!"
• "Their pho is special, I mean little bit different to other pho you normally have. But taste is fantastic and you would want to have one more."
• "Best banh mi I've found in London so far."
• "The Vietnamese Stewed Beef Rice Bowl and the Crispy Pork Belly, both very fresh and delicious."
• "Nothing is more better than a perfectly cooked noodles and an excellent broth!"
• "Real authentic food from the south of Vietnam (my Vietnamese friend approved!)."
• "The meat was phenomenal. Crispy pork was tender and juicy, and the chicken in the banh mi was the same."

Cons:

• "Beef with rice. Limited menu selection. Dirty place. Not the right condiments, no fish sauce."
• "Clean (but flavourless) broth, fresh (but tasteless) ingredients."
• "The smokey aubergine rice, the most expensive of them all, tasted of NOTHING."
• "Bah Mi Special s full of texture, cripsy bread. Though the rice with crackling pork and some green s a huge let down!! Tasteless, and very little meat given!!"
• "The rice was swimming in oil. That dish was immidently returned."
• "Food is bland and overpriced, won’t be returning any time soon."
• "The actual baguette was superb but the flavours inside the baguette were non-existent."

Service

Pros:

• "Staff were friendly."
• "Customer service is quick and efficient, but restaurant can get quite busy during lunch time."

• "Great service, really friendly and fast."
• "Service was also good and everything arrived super quickly."
• "Service was very good, prompt & friendly."
• "Service is fast and friendly."

Cons:

• "They never have beef dumplings so should take them off the menu."
• "Just bought 7x classical banh mi Keu from this store at almost £10 each (£70 total invoice). I told them to put the chilies separately so my children can eat them. They did not listen and now our dinner at home is ruined as children cannot eat the hot bread."
• "Service was slow and confused, customers asking each other if they've been served and nobody taking control, perhaps they had some senior staff off that day."
• "Service: Glacial. It took us about 20 minutes to catch an eye in the first place."
• "However, service is a bit unprofessional, which forgets to give us menu and forks."
• "Service wasn't very nice and less than helpful."
• "Service is hit and miss - sometimes you can wait for them to take order or bring card machine for 5-10 minutes."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Bustling eatery - and currently super popular - with good quality Vietnamese street food ... but the ambience seems spoiled by too many people waiting for their takeaways."
• "Such a home Asian feel at this place."
• "The place definitely feels like it has been there for years and survived the test of time, which is a good sign for restaurants in this area of London."
• "The place has a nice casual vibe with big common table."
• "It's great for a causal dinner with friends or on your own."
• "Perfect for a quick meal, or a casual dinner with friends."
• "Cosy Vietnamese place that serves authentic southern style baguettes."

Cons:

• "The place was so crowded and the people even queued because it was lunchtime."
• "This is a great spot, but it gets very busy at lunch time. A spot to sit may take a minute to open up."
• "It got incredibly busy during lunchtime with people queuing up and watching you eat - making it a bit uncomfortable when sitting in."
• "Unfortunately always packed (probably due to how good the food is and how tiny the place is) but you’ll always get your order quickly so you don’t need to spend much time there."
• "No one at the door to tell you where to order or to be seated."
• "Management, please invest in the outside waiting area!"
• "The store was very busy and the turnover high."
