Bang Bang Vietnamese Canteen is a Vietnamese restaurant at 53 Warren Street in central London. Its cosy, relaxed setting provides a place to sit down for lunch or dinner while the cooking draws on both traditional Vietnamese dishes and the country’s lively street food culture.
Pho is a central part of the menu, joined by bun hue and other noodle preparations. Starters include rice paper rolls and spring rolls, while grilled lemongrass meats, tofu, jasmine rice and Vietnamese curry provide several different routes through a more substantial meal.
Freshness and punchy flavour shape the food, and vegetarian or tofu choices allow diners to move beyond meat and seafood. Vietnamese baguettes are available for a quicker meal, while ice cream and a coconut milk dessert provide a sweet finish.
Homemade lemonade, lychee iced tea and Vietnamese iced coffee complement the food alongside other cold drinks. The restaurant offers both dine in and takeaway service, with a separate neighbouring kiosk focused on banh mi. Guests with allergies should check the current menu and speak with staff because dishes may contain fish, shellfish, soya, gluten and other allergens.
