Kêu — Shoreditch, London

Kêu Shoreditch is a specialist London bánh mì deli on Old Street, serving Saigon-inspired baguettes alongside rice bowls, noodles, small plates and Vietnamese coffee. Its location between Old Street and Shoreditch makes it a practical option for a quick lunch, an early dinner or takeaway while exploring East London.

Why Kêu Shoreditch is worth knowing

Bánh mì is central to Kêu rather than a small addition to a long restaurant menu. The official menu covers traditional cold cuts, grilled meats, roast poultry, slow-cooked fillings and meat-free choices. Every baguette is finished with cucumber, coriander, spring onion, fresh chilli and house pickles made with carrot and daikon.

Kêu says its sourdough-style baguettes are baked fresh each morning and its fillings, sauces and pickles are prepared daily. The result is a broad choice for groups who want different flavours without leaving the bánh mì format.

What to order

The Kêu Original is the clearest first order for anyone looking for a recognisable Saigon-style combination. It brings together Vietnamese mortadella, homemade chicken-liver pâté, spiced pork belly, mayonnaise and ham. The richer crispy pork belly version is glazed with hoisin barbecue sauce, while the grilled pork uses lemongrass and five-spice.

For something different, the Hội An Deluxe uses a special pâté sauce inspired by Central Vietnam. The current menu also includes roast chicken, roast duck, beef brisket, chicken curry and Saigon mackerel. Meat-free choices include aubergine with tofu and a tofu curry; Kêu advises that its bánh mì baguettes themselves are not vegan, so strict dietary requirements should be discussed with staff.

Prices and practical details

Current bánh mì prices sit broadly in the low-to-mid teens, placing Kêu above a traditional bakery counter but in line with a central London specialist lunch shop. Vietnamese drip coffee, jasmine tea and house lemonade are available, and the branch supports eat-in, takeaway and delivery.

Kêu Shoreditch is at 332 Old Street, London EC1V 9DR. The official website currently lists daily opening, with later closing from Monday to Saturday. Check the branch page before travelling because menus, prices and hours can change.
