Cây Tre Soho is a Vietnamese restaurant at 42–43 Dean Street. Founder Hieu Bui has spent two decades refining recipes gathered through travel in Vietnam and adapting them around high quality British seasonal produce. The lively central dining room serves from late morning into the evening and also offers takeaway and delivery.
Phở is one of the menu’s foundations, built around carefully prepared broth, noodles, herbs and chosen toppings. Slow simmered curries offer a more robust alternative, while summer rolls and crunchy salads bring freshness and contrast. The range is recognisably Vietnamese but responds to the quality and season of ingredients available in Britain.
Sharing several starters and mains is a useful way to experience the balance of herbs, acidity, heat and savoury depth across the cooking. Vegetarian choices allow mixed groups to order broadly, although guests with allergies should speak with the restaurant because fish sauce, peanuts, shellfish, soy and gluten can occur across the menu and preparation areas.
Cocktails take inspiration from Saigon and Vietnamese ingredients, with aromatic combinations designed to accompany dishes such as papaya salad and spring rolls. Group bookings can be arranged around canapés, drinks or a larger shared feast. Cây Tre Soho works equally well for a quick bowl of noodles and a longer meal exploring several parts of the menu.
Address: 42–43 Dean Street, Soho, London W1D 4PZ, England
