True Vietnamese. Made fresh.

Banh Mi Aha! – Vietnamese Street Food, Shared with London

Founded in London by a Vietnamese team, Banh Mi Aha! was created to bring the everyday flavours of Vietnam—simple, honest, and deeply comforting—to the UK.

After years exploring London’s food scene, we felt something was missing: the taste of home. In 2020, we opened our first shop in Holborn, introducing crispy bánh mì, slow-simmered phở, and bold Vietnamese coffee—food rooted in culture and daily life in Vietnam.

Driven by community support, we expanded to Farringdon and Soho. Today, with our fourth location opening soon in the City, Banh Mi Aha! continues to grow as a place where Vietnamese food, culture, and stories are shared.

This is just the beginning. Our vision is to bring authentic Vietnamese street food to more cities across the UK—one neighbourhood at a time.

ICONS OF VIETNAMESE CUISINE

  • Banh Mi

    Bánh mì was born from the meeting of Vietnamese and French cuisines, and became a street-food icon through creativity, balance, and everyday life. We honour that tradition by serving it fresh, honest, and full of flavour.

  • Phở - Noodle Soup

    Phở is Vietnam’s most beloved noodle soup, slowly simmered to create a clear, aromatic broth that reflects patience, balance, and everyday Vietnamese life. We serve phở the traditional way—warm, honest, and deeply comforting.

  • Bún - Vermicelli Salad

    Bún is a Vietnamese vermicelli dish built on balance—fresh herbs, light noodles, and bold flavours, reflecting the everyday way Vietnamese people eat. Our team keep it fresh, vibrant, and true to tradition.

  • Cà Phê - Iced Coffee

    Cà phê sữa đá is Vietnam’s iconic iced coffee, combining bold, slow-brewed coffee with sweet condensed milk, enjoyed daily across the country. At Banh Mi Aha!, we serve it strong, balanced, and refreshingly authentic.

Vietnamese Food & Coffee Heritage

Vietnamese cuisine is shaped by history, resilience, and everyday life—and is widely celebrated as one of the most flavourful and balanced cuisines in the world.

Bánh mì was born from Vietnamese creativity meeting French baking, becoming a global street-food icon.

Phở reflects patience and care, built on slow-simmered broth and simple ingredients that define comfort.

Vietnamese coffee, bold and distinctive, has become a daily ritual enjoyed worldwide.

Together, these classics tell the story of Vietnam—humble, refined, and undeniably delicious.
