G Asian Canteen

About G Asian Canteen

G Asian Canteen brings franco-Vietnamese flavours to a quiet Willesden Green shopfront, where chef Gilles — trained by Paul Bocuse, runs a one-man show with warmth and precision. The smoked beef brisket banh mi earns repeat praise for its flaky bread and smoky-tender filling, while the bun xao noodles (try the okra and plantain version) and jasmine rice bowls pack bright, addictive flavours. Kids eat from a dedicated menu, and there's space for buggies and highchairs in the small dining room. "The last time I enjoyed food this much was a few years ago in New York," one parent writes after a takeaway sandwich. Regulars report returning for the chicken pho, the ginger dark chocolate fondant, and the homemade ginger lemonade. There's even a blackboard wall for impromptu art between courses. Set up for families wanting something fresh and different without the central London prices.
