our menus...

follow our socials for special menu of the day!

takes inspiration from the food we grew up with, the food we crave, and the food we want to share with friends. some recipes come from home, some come from years spent working in kitchens, and some happen because we couldn't stop thinking about them. everything is prepared fresh, with ingredients sourced from local suppliers and producers we love working with.

word’s got around

and many more...

lai rai means “little by little"

one more beer.
one more plate.
one more round.

rooted in bia hơi culture.
modern, playful, and very much its own thing.
familiar flavours alongside unexpected combinations.
pushing past the default definitions of
vietnamese food in london.

by day: bánh mì and cà phê. 
by night: plates, drinks, ice cream, friends, repeat.

order little by little.
just like the name suggests.

lai rai, nhậu tới mai!
