About

Cafe Soya is a compact, casual Chinatown cafe serving Vietnamese and Chinese dishes, with a separate vegetarian menu that includes clearly marked vegan choices. Vegan duck pancakes, lemongrass mock-chicken pho, tofu dishes and vegan milkshakes stand out; portions are generous, service is quick, and mains have been reported around £8–10, though prices may have risen. It’s cash-only, and weekend peak times can mean a wait for a table.
