Our Story
Born into a family of caterers, our founder, Paul Hopper, has hospitality in his blood. After six uninspiring years in the city, he set off to South East Asia, where a typhoon unexpectedly led him to Saigon. There, he discovered pho from a bustling street vendor, immersing himself in the rich flavours and vibrant culture.
Inspired by the warmth and resilience of the people, HOP Vietnamese was born.
Since 2015, HOP has been serving London & beyond with fresh, flavourful food across our thriving restaurants. Join us as we continue to grow!
Our Commitment To You
When visiting Vietnam, you'll immediately notice a strong sense of community - people sharing meals in street food markets. Thoughtfulness is at the heart of Vietnamese culture, not just among friends and family but also toward strangers and visitors. Everywhere you go, there's an immense energy and positivity, from the people to the bustling streets and markets.
These values are at the core of everything we do, especially when it comes to our team. That's why we promise to always be mindfully respectful and thoughtful in our actions and decisions - whether they affect you, our community, or our planet. If you're part of the HOP family, know that we are grateful for everything you do.
We celebrate uniqueness, champion individuality, and embrace diversity. You'll never be asked to be anything other than yourself - because your personality is what makes HOP, HOP! Our restaurants stand out from anything else on the high street. We love pushing boundaries, breaking the norm, and doing things differently. The only thing you'll ever find us putting in a box is our food!
Where You'll Shine
As the heartbeat of the restaurant, you'll be the captain steering daily operations to ensure top-notch service, delicious food, and happy customers. Leading by example, you'll inspire and energise your team, jumping in when needed to keep things running smoothly. With a keen eye on efficiency, you'll optimise workflows, manage stock, and keep costs in check—without ever compromising on quality. Compliance is key, so you'll make sure health, safety, and licensing standards are always met.
