In the heart of Soho sits Cây Tre.  Perfectly located to catch the Soho crowd or pre- or post- theatre clientele.    You can have a quick bowl of noodles or linger for longer.  A long line of plastic white tables greets you – with a casual and functional feel.  Nothing fancy at all but a quick meal.  You can be in and out in less than an hour, which is great before theatre.

Cây Tre is part of the Vietnamese Kitchen group, the 3rd of 6 in the restaurant chain.   There is another branch of Cây Tre in Shoreditch/Hoxton.

You will find familiar Vietnamese dishes here such as Phô (noodles in soup which apparently takes 18 hours to make!) and Vietnamese rolls.  They say that they fly in handmade noodles into London twice a week.  A chunky piece of prawn sits under the translucent wrapper of their classic Vietnamese summer rolls, which don’t taste of much but do eat them with their delicious sauce.
