He wrote up a business plan during the rest of his trip and founded HOP Vietnamese in London in 2015.<\/p>\n<h3>1\u5e97\u8217\u304b\u30897\u5e97\u8217\u3078<\/h3>\n<p>\u30d6\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9\u540d\u300cHOP\u300d\u306f\u30d9\u30c8\u30ca\u30e0\u8a9e\u306e\u300cc\u00e1i h\u1ed9p\u300d\uff08\u7bb1\uff09\u306b\u7531\u6765\u3059\u308b\u3002\u30d7\u30ed\u30c6\u30a4\u30f3\uff0b\u30b8\u30e3\u30b9\u30df\u30f3\u30e9\u30a4\u30b9\uff0b\u30b5\u30e9\u30c0\uff0b\u30d4\u30af\u30eb\u30b9\u304c\u4e00\u4f53\u3068\u306a\u3063\u305f\u300cH\u1ed9P Box\u300d\u304c\u770b\u677f\u5546\u54c1\u3060\u3002\u30ed\u30f3\u30c9\u30f3\u306eLondon Wall\u5e97\u3092\u76ae\u5207\u308a\u306b\u3001St Pauls\u3001King&#8217;s Cross\u3001West One Shopping Centre\u3068\u90fd\u5fc3\u306b\u5c55\u958b\u30022020\u5e74\u306e\u30b3\u30ed\u30ca\u798d\u3067\u306f\u30c7\u30b8\u30bf\u30eb\u6539\u9769\u3068\u30df\u30fc\u30eb\u30ad\u30c3\u30c8\u8ca9\u58f2\u306b\u8ee2\u63db\u3057\u3001\u751f\u304d\u6b8b\u308a\u3092\u56f3\u3063\u305f\u3002\u305d\u306e\u5f8c\u30de\u30f3\u30c1\u30a7\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u306eTrafford Centre\u5e97\u30fbMarket Street\u5e97\u3092\u52a0\u3048\u3001\u4eca\u56de\u306eTottenham Court Road\u5e97\u3067\u901a\u7b977\u5e97\u8217\u76ee\u3092\u8fce\u3048\u308b\u3002<\/p>\n<h2>Menu and price range \u2014 authentic Vietnamese cuisine for \u00a310\u2013\u00a315 a meal<\/h2>\n<p>HOP Vietnamese's menu centers on a lineup arranging Vietnamese street food into a UK fast-casual format.

Points like \"the area around Oxford Street has many chain caf\u00e9s and burger shops, and quick-service Asian food was lacking\" are common. On Tripadvisor, high marks for serving speed and value for money stand out for existing HOP locations.<\/p>\n<h3>The view of industry insiders<\/h3>\n<p>The UK food-service media outlet Restaurant Online reported HOP's expansion as \"steady growth in the Vietnamese fast-casual market.\" Just as Wagamama and Itsu established Japanese-cuisine-based fast casual in the UK, HOP is carving out that position with Vietnamese cuisine.<\/p>\n<h3>Reactions on social media<\/h3>\n<p>On HOP's official Instagram, comments gather on the new-location announcement post such as \"Tottenham Court Road is easy to drop by after work\" and \"I'm a regular at the Manchester store, but I want to visit in London too.\"<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/ngon-kitchen-manhattan\/\">New York's Vietnamese restaurant \"Ngon\" earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand,<\/a>and as this shows, the world's evaluation of Vietnamese cuisine is rising year by year, and HOP's expansion moves in step with that flow.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact on Japanese travelers \u2014 a prime spot 5 minutes on foot from Oxford Street<\/h2>\n<p>For travelers visiting London from Japan, the area around Tottenham Court Road is a hub for sightseeing. Oxford Street, Soho, and the British Museum are within walking distance, and many people look for places to eat between shopping and sightseeing.<\/p>\n<h3>Traveler budget guide<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a313\u2013\u00a318 (about 2,600\u20133,600 yen) for a H\u1ed9P Box + drink<\/li>\n<li>\u00a310\u2013\u00a314 (about 2,000\u20132,800 yen) for a banh mi + drink<\/li>\n<li>A reasonable price range for a central London restaurant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest station, Tottenham Court Road, is a hub station where the Elizabeth Line, Central Line, and Northern Line intersect, about 35 minutes from Heathrow Airport on the Elizabeth Line. It's usable even for lunch on your arrival day.<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/lunch-lady-vancouver\/\">Vancouver's \"Lunch Lady\" was named among Food &amp; Wine's world's best restaurants,<\/a>and as with that example, the evaluation of Vietnamese cuisine in the English-speaking world is steadily rising. It's worth trying the authentic taste at HOP during a trip to London.<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple effects on the UK Vietnamese-cuisine market \u2014 lemongrass demand up 90%<\/h2>\n<p>In the UK food-service market, signals related to Vietnamese cuisine are growing rapidly. The rate of lemongrass appearing on menus recorded +90.8% year on year in the major cities of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Cardiff.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparison with other chains<\/h3>\n<p>In the UK market, where Wagamama, Itsu, and Wasabi have established Asian fast casual based on Japanese and Korean cuisine, HOP is out front in chain expansion specializing in Vietnamese cuisine. The UK Asian-restaurant market is about 8.5 billion pounds (about 1.7 trillion yen) in scale, with about 13,700 restaurants in operation. Within this, the presence of Vietnamese-cuisine specialty chains is still small, and HOP's room for expansion is large.<\/p>\n<h3>The affinity between health consciousness and Vietnamese cuisine<\/h3>\n<p>Vietnamese cuisine, represented by pho, banh mi, and rice-noodle salads, is characterized by heavy use of fresh herbs and low-fat cooking methods. It pairs well with the rising health-conscious food trend in the UK.<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/cicada-cafe-massachusetts\/\">Massachusetts' Vietnamese caf\u00e9 \"Cicada Coffee Bar\" drew nationwide attention in the U.S. for removing WiFi,<\/a>and as with that, Vietnam's food culture is permeating the English-speaking world, including not just cuisine but caf\u00e9 culture too. Behind HOP's plan to open additional locations by the end of 2026 lies the tailwind of such a market environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Shop name<\/td>\n<td>HOP Vietnamese Tottenham Court Road<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Address<\/td>\n<td>Unit 3, 247 Tottenham Court Road, London<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nearest station<\/td>\n<td>Tottenham Court Road station (Elizabeth Line \/ Central Line \/ Northern Line)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Opening date<\/td>\n<td>Monday, June 8, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hours<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201321:00 (planned, subject to change)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Seats<\/td>\n<td>60 seats<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price range<\/td>\n<td>\u00a37\u2013\u00a315 (about 1,400\u20133,000 yen)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How to order<\/td>\n<td>In-store kiosk \/ QR-code table ordering<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Delivery<\/td>\n<td>Uber Eats and Just Eat supported<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Official site<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/hopvietnamese.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hopvietnamese.co.uk<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>HOP Vietnamese\u306e7\u5e97\u8217\u76ee\u306f\u3001\u30ed\u30f3\u30c9\u30f3\u306e\u89b3\u5149\u30fb\u5546\u696d\u4e2d\u5fc3\u5730\u3067\u3042\u308bTottenham Court Road\u306b2026\u5e746\u67088\u65e5\u30aa\u30fc\u30d7\u30f3\u3059\u308b\u3002\u91d1\u878d\u30a2\u30ca\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u3060\u3063\u305fPaul Hopper\u6c0f\u304c\u30b5\u30a4\u30b4\u30f3\u306e\u5c4b\u53f0\u30d5\u30a9\u30fc\u306b\u611f\u9298\u3092\u53d7\u3051\u3066\u5275\u696d\u3057\u305f\u3053\u306e\u30c1\u30a7\u30fc\u30f3\u306f\u3001\u00a310\u524d\u5f8c\u3067\u672c\u683c\u7684\u306a\u30d9\u30c8\u30ca\u30e0\u6599\u7406\u3092\u7d043\u5206\u3067\u63d0\u4f9b\u3059\u308b\u30b9\u30bf\u30a4\u30eb\u3067\u3001\u82f1\u56fd\u306e\u30d5\u30a1\u30b9\u30c8\u30ab\u30b8\u30e5\u30a2\u30eb\u5e02\u5834\u306b\u72ec\u81ea\u306e\u30dd\u30b8\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u3092\u7bc9\u3044\u3066\u304d\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>If you're planning a trip to London, do try pho or banh mi at HOP Vietnamese while strolling Oxford Street or Soho.
