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.

"After finding it online when looking for summer rolls and banh mi, I drove from Pocklington and they were that good I had to drive and get more for the drive home thank you very much it was so delicious 😋"

"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."
— Alex L.
"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!"
