Nguyễn Thị Thanh, a street-side food vendor in Ho Chi Minh City, became something of a local legend for her noodle soups, but became even more famous after catching the attention of Anthony Bourdain and featuring on his No Reservations show in 2009. Brian Woo went to train under her and learn the traditions of Vietnamese food in 2013, and he went on to continue her legacy by opening Cô Thành in Hong Kong in 2017. Now he’s opened Cô Thành in London, taking over the former Frenchie site on Henrietta Street. The menu showcases the vibrant, herb-filled dishes of southern Vietnam, including both signature dishes from Hong Kong and exclusive specials for London – expect Bún Thái, Bún Mắm, Bún bò Huế, Bánh Mì, and a range of refreshing Vietnamese desserts, alongside, natural wines, cocktails, Vietnamese smoothies and Vietnamese coffee.
