TripAdvisor awards it a Travellers' Choice (top 10% of restaurants globally) with 91 reviews. Yelp updated February 2026. One TripAdvisor reviewer writes: "Khoai is consistently the best Vietnamese in London and we have done extensive comparative research! Try pho or the spicy bun hue, the truly delicious bun cha ka fish soup, soft shell crab, mango salad... it's like a pilgrimage for us now!" A more recent Google reviewer (1 month ago): "This place has quickly become my absolute favourite Vietnamese restaurant. The salt and pepper squid is perfectly crispy, full of flavour. The beef pho is another standout: rich, aromatic broth, tender slices of beef."

The menu spans the full range of Vietnamese cuisine: pho noodle soups, the fiery bun hue (a Hue-style spicy noodle soup), bun cha grilled pork, fresh spring rolls, salt and pepper squid, soft shell crab, and sizzling Vietnamese fish dishes.
