Chôm Chôm

With lauded chef John Nguyen at the helm, this Hanoi-inspired bar and eatery brings the Vietnamese tradition of bia hoi (drinking beer with friends on a busy street corner) to Peel Street in the heart of Soho. The atmosphere here, especially come weekend, is buzzing, as patrons sit on roughly-fashioned seats – in true Hanoi style – on the establishment's patio, while wafts of the delicious food being cooked up in the kitchen seap out onto the street. The menu is full of traditional Vietnamese delights with a modern twist, and promises visitors an equally pleasant dining and drinking experience.
