What to expect at a Vietnamese restaurant
Vietnamese restaurants are best known for pho – a fragrant beef or chicken noodle soup – and banh mi sandwiches on light, crackly baguettes. Menus also feature vermicelli bowls (bun), broken-rice plates (com tam), fresh spring rolls and a strong coffee sweetened with condensed milk.
What to order
- Pho – order by the cut of beef you like, or chicken (pho ga)
- Banh mi – a cheap, filling sandwich
- Bun (vermicelli bowl) – grilled meat over cold noodles and herbs
- Fresh spring rolls – rice paper rolls with peanut sauce
Good to know
- Add herbs and lime to pho gradually and taste the broth first.
- Many pho shops are busiest at weekend lunch; mornings are quieter.
- Banh mi shops often sell out of bread in the afternoon.
