Nep Nep is a family-run Vietnamese restaurant at 20 Lisson Grove, a short walk from Marylebone station. Its compact dining room offers a personal setting for lunch or dinner, with food prepared from scratch in the family kitchen.
The menu explores familiar Vietnamese flavours through dishes such as fresh summer rolls, bánh cuốn and bánh xèo. Aromatic herbs, rice noodles, crisp vegetables and carefully balanced sauces bring freshness and contrast to both lighter plates and more substantial choices.
Pho and bánh mì provide two different expressions of everyday Vietnamese cooking, while salads and rice dishes broaden the selection. The restaurant’s approach emphasises fresh ingredients and preparation to order rather than an oversized list assembled in advance.
Vietnamese coffee and tea make fitting accompaniments, and a semi-private dining area can support group gatherings. The small kitchen is temporarily unable to offer gluten-free or vegan options, so guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should speak with the restaurant before booking.
Address: 20 Lisson Grove, Marylebone, London NW1 6TT, England
