    A change of heart
    Current
    Have been to this place few times and hadn't been for a while, mainly because the times I'd gone I'd not found it to be up to much. However, took a group of ten people there last night and was very pleasantly surprised.

    The interior had had a makeover, making the atmosphere much nicer than the minicab office-eque feel of it before. Staff were helpful and friendly, food was plentiful and fresh. My barbecue pork on cold rice vermicelli (Bun Cha) was delicious. Most of our party were Vietnamese and they said that although some of the spicing wasn't quite to the standard they experience at home it was pretty near, and rated it about 80%. Usually when we go to Vietnamese restaurants they hate the food, so I was impressed.

    I'll definitely be back

    Really good value for money, excellent food at the price (especially the belly pork that often appears on the specials board). Just steer clear of the Chinese stuff that doesn't really belong on a Vietnamese restaurant menu (peking duck, satay, prawn on french toast). Also good for takeaway and Sunday lunch.

    This restaurant has recently undergone a refurb - or rather a lick of paint, it's a very basic restaurant however if you eat here once, you will realise you have come across quite a treat. The food is amazing and fresh, very reasonable and most days if you go there at around 1pm you will have a little wait on your hands! I've heard they have queues in the evenings (think Busaba in London on a Thursday).

    this place is so cheap and the food is good and fresh. Fantastic option if you are in old street. The staff is overworked so it will take time until you will get attention on the weekend. try the dishes which have smileys in the menu - they are the best!

    ...but not as good as Song Que just up on Kingsland Road!

    This is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant, but for me Song Que is better all round.

    Cay Tre serve pho, noodles and other Vietnamese fare. The service is decent and fast but the ambience is lacking somewhat. Pretty cheap too.

    Very good food, more of a canteen atmosphere though. It's my guilty pleasure to take away some noodle soup from here on a cold rainy day

    Modern Vietnamese dishes as what is hot in Vietnam, this restaurant is a really decent Vietnamese, comparing with many others in the neighbourhood. I love this restaurant and its sister acclaimed Viet Grill - The Vietnamese Kitchen in Kingsland Road

    Excellent Vietnamese Restaurant

    Cay Tre is a very good Vietnamese restaurant near Hoxton Square. The food is delicious and it's excellent value for money. The place is very simple and very busy. And the area is very trendy. I would definitely recommend it if you want good Vietnamese food and don't want to pay big money for it. Try the crab...to die for!
