Vietnamese Kitchen is thrilled to announce the opening of Kêu’s fourth location in Borough this November. Renowned for its authentic Saigon street food lunch menu, including the famous banh mi, the new Kêu Borough will offer an expanded menu with a greater selection of noodles and rice dishes, along with extended hours for late-night dining.
Hieu Bui, the acclaimed restaurateur behind Vietnamese Kitchen, has been sharing traditional Vietnamese cuisine with Londoners for over 20 years. With three successful brands across six locations, including Kêu, Cây Tre, and Viet Grill, Bui has built a dedicated following. The new Kêu will be located on Borough High Street, nestled between London Bridge and Borough Market, one of London’s iconic food hubs.
Taking inspiration from Vietnam’s late-night noodle bars, the new establishment will feature Kêu’s hallmark lunch offerings along with exciting new evening and late-night dishes. Hand-pulled noodles, originating from Saigon’s Chinatown, will be complemented by Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang, a dish with roots from Chinese immigrants in Cambodia and later refined in Saigon, showcasing Vietnam’s vibrant street food heritage.
The venue will present a fresh redesign for the Kêu brand, influenced by the aesthetics of ancient Saigon, incorporating traditional colors and designs characteristic of the region.
Dining will embrace a traditional noodle-house vibe with tables and stools, providing a cozy yet authentic atmosphere. Additional seating available downstairs will include a long table for up to 12 diners, offering a more intimate setting away from the busy upstairs area. Guests can also enjoy outdoor seating, perfect for relishing their favorite dishes amidst the lively market atmosphere.
“I am excited to introduce the Kêu brand to Borough, an area that reflects the vibrant spirit of Saigon,” said Hieu Bui, Founder of Kêu. “The expanded menu will bring more of Saigon’s beloved street food favorites to London’s culinary scene. We aim to continue spreading the joy of Vietnamese cuisine and culture through Kêu’s latest opening, creating an exciting new destination for food enthusiasts in the capital.”
