Vietnamese Street Food
Hand-crafted dishes from the streets of Vietnam, served with warmth in York.
Our story
A Taste of Home
Madam Ly began with a simple idea: to share the food we grew up with. Not a diluted version, not a fusion — the real thing. The flavours that filled the streets of Saigon and Hanoi, the bánh mì that fuelled morning commutes, the rice plates that gathered whole families around a table at the end of a long day.

"Madam Ly serves takeaway food only. I ordered my dinner from here on Thursday, and I was very impressed. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. The service was friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I enjoyed the food so much that I returned the following day and ordered again. I would highly recommend Madam Ly without hesitation to anyone looking for fresh, tasty takeaway Vietnamese food."

"True, authentic Vietnamese food! I didn’t expect to find such a gem in the UK that perfectly captures the taste of the food in Vietnam. The ingredients they use are exactly what you'd find over there, and everything was cooked to perfection. This is definitely a must-try if you're tired of westernized Vietnamese food."

"Had the char siu pork and lemongrass pork banh mi and both were exceptional. The baguette tasted super authentic, with fantastic flavours, fresh herbs, pickled veg and delicious meat and paté. I’ve spent a lot of time in Vietnam and this really took me back there as the flavours were spot on!"

"The food from Madam Ly is next level. The bahn mi is reminiscent of an amazing trip I took to Vietnam. Vermicelli noodles equally delicious. Can't wait to try more from the menu!"
