Tonkin Cafe - Vietnamese Kitchen and Bubble Tea — Restaurant in London

Honestly such a great spot if you’re craving proper Vietnamese food in London!

Had the Meat Lover Noodles. the meat was super tasty, grilled just right, really flavourful and reminded me of proper Vietnamese-style marinated pork. The noodles were fresh, the sauce was on point, and everything was nicely balanced.

Crispy pork spring rolls are my absolute fave. So crunchy outside and the filling tasted just like the ones back home. Definitely recommend getting these as a side!

Grilled pork summer rolls were super fresh, packed with veggies, light but satisfying. I liked these a lot too.

Also had the taro milk tea, lovely creamy flavour, not too sweet, and the boba pearls were big and chewy.

For a little afternoon treat we got a hot tea pot with lava buns and siu mai, such a nice combo! The tea was fragrant and calming, buns were soft with rich custard inside, and the siu mai were juicy and tasty.

Will definitely come back to try more. The food here really hits the spot when you’re missing proper Vietnamese...

Walking in this boba tea shop and I was surprised by its amazinggg Vietnamese lunch menu with my all-time favorite Crispy Pork Belly. My friend ordered rice and crispy pork belly while I ordered the special meat-lovers baguette (BBQ chicken, lemongrass chicken n pork belly). The meat is really flavorful, juicy, hot when served and especially, the taste is very closed to Vietnamese Northern marinate style. I brought the baguette home and have it 1 hour later and the baguette bread still crunchy. So yum!!! Both of us found the portion size is surprisingly bigger than a regular £8.5 lunch meal in this area Camden- in center of London.

I chose taro boba tea, 30% sugar, 30% ice and found it well-balanced flavor, tapioca pearls quite soft unlike other boba places. The price for boba tea in the menu does not include tapioca pearl.

The vibe inside is more of tranquil style with calm music and minimalist decoration. Best choice if you want to find a quiet nest for lunch or a quick boba tea catch-up with...

Cute new little Vietnamese shop! They serve lunch and a good selection of drinks. 😋

I had the three-meat rice bowl. It was tasty! And the price is pretty reasonable for the portion you get. They have vegetarian dishes too.

I also tried the cold milk latte, which was also quite nice. They offer quite a few drinks options: bubble tea, fruit tea, you name it. Feel free to customise the amount of sugar, ice, etc. just like a normal bubble tea shop.

Self-service tap water is by the entrance.

The shop's interior is sparkly clean, and aesthetically pleasing ✨! Customer service is lovely too.

Wait time can be a bit long. So if you're going for lunch, try getting here a bit earlier than 12:00.
