40 delicious Vietnamese dishesFrom pho to canh bun -- the foods best slurped, crunched and enjoyed from a plastic stool

By Helen Clark and Karryn Miller 3 October, 2011

1. Cheap can be tasty too.

2. A food so good they name d a street afterit.

3. A crepe you won't forget.

Vietnamese cuisine doesn't win any points for complexity. Many of the most popular dishes can be

made just as well on the side of the road as in a top-end restaurant.

But its precisely this simplicity, the subtle variations by region and the fresh ingredients that keep

uspulling up a plastic stool for more.

1. Pho

What list of Vietnamese cuisine would be complete

without pho? Its almost impossible to walk a block in

Vietnams major cities without bumping into a crowd of

hungry patrons slurping noodles at a makeshift pho stand.

This simple staple consisting of a salty broth, fresh rice

noodles, a sprinkling of herbs and chicken or beef,

features predominately in the local diet -- and

understandably so. Its cheap, tasty, and widely available

at all hours.

Just look out for a mass of people on plastic stools -- or

try a tried and tested favorite: Pho Thin, 13 Lo Duc, Hai

Ba Trung District, Hanoi +84 43 821 2709

2. Cha ca

Hanoians consider cha ca to be so exceptional that there

is a street in the capital dedicated to these fried morsels of

fish.

This namesake alley is home to Cha Ca La Vong, which

serves sizzling chunks of fish seasoned with garlic, ginger,

turmeric and dill on a hot pan tableside.

Cha Ca La Vong may be the busiest but the service is a

bit gruff and the food overpriced. Instead make your way

to Duong Than in Hanois Hoan Kiem district, where youll

find plenty of more affordable but just as tasty options

3. Banh xeo

A good banh xeo is a crispy crepe bulging with pork,

shrimp, and bean sprouts, plus the garnish of fresh herbs

that are characteristic of most authentic Vietnamese

dishes.

To enjoy one like a local, cut it into manageable slices, roll

it up in rice paper or lettuce leaves and dunk it in whatever

special sauce the chef has mixed up for you.

Banh Xeo 46A has mixed reviews but judging by the

crowds that swarm there each night they must be doing

something right. Banh Xeo, 46A Dinh Cong Trang, District

1, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)

4. Cao lau

This pork noodle dish from Hoi An is a bit like the various cultures that visited the trading port at its

prime. The thicker noodles are similar to Japanese udon, the crispy won-ton crackers and pork are

6. A spring roll that jumps out.

7. Roll, dunk, bite, repeat.

Vietnamese.

5. Rau muong

Some might call it river weed -- with good reason -- but

that doesnt stop the masses from scarfing down platefuls

of morning glory, usually stir-fried and seasoned with

slithers of potent garlic.

Rau muong is common at Vietnamese restaurants and

beer gardens.

Chung Den Bia Hoi, 18B Hang Cot, Hoan Kiem district,

Hanoi

6. Nem ran/cha gio

Vietnams bite-sized crunchy spring rolls might not enjoythe same popularity as their healthier fresh equivalent, but

they deserve a special mention.

The crispy shell with a soft veggie and meat filling dunked

in a tangy sauce gets the gastronomic juices flowing

before a main course. In the north these parcels go by the

name nem ran while southerners call them cha gio.

1 Hang Manh, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

7. Goi cuon

These light and healthy fresh spring rolls are a

wholesome choice when youve been indulging in too

much of the fried food in Vietnam.

The translucent parcels are first packed with salad

greens, a slither of meat or seafood and a layer of

coriander, before being neatly rolled and dunked in

Vietnams favorite condiment -- fish sauce.

Quan An Ngon, 18 Phan Boi Chau, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi +84 43 942 8162

8. Bun bo Hue

Central Vietnams take on noodles caters to carnivores with its meaty broth and piles of beef and

pork. The thick slippery rice noodles also make for a heartier meal than noodles found in the north

and south.

You dont have to go to Hue to enjoy this dish if in Ho Chi Minh City try Tib Express, 162

NguyenDinh Chieu, District 3, HCMC +84 8 3822 5038

9. Banh khot

This dainty variation of a Vietnamese pancake has all the same tasty ingredients but is a fraction

of the size. Each banh knot can be scoffed in one ambitious but satisfying mouthful.

The crunchy outside is made using coconut milk and the filling usually consists of shrimp, mung

beans, and spring onions with a dusting of dried shrimp flakes on top.

Co Ba Vung Tau, 59B Cao Thang, District 3, HCMC

10. Ga tan

Got the sniffles? Opt for ga tan, a broth thats Vietnams answer to the proverbial cup of chicken

noodle soup. Sure its not quite how your mother used to make it, with its greenish tinge from the

herbs and hunks of chicken parts, but its worth a try if youre needing a Vietnamese tonic.

Try this at one of the street stalls on Hanois Tong Duy Tan aka Pho Am Thuc, or Food

11. Yes, bananas have flowers, and theytaste great.

12. Dry, but not dreary.

14. Don't let the sea-slug appearance put you off.

17. Egg coffee? Kind of like a glass ofbreakfast.

Street),Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

11. Nom hoa chuoi

Vietnams banana flower salad packs a much bigger

punch than a typical plate of mixed greens.

Banana flowers (thick purple lumps that will later turn into

bunches of bananas) are peeled and thinly sliced then

mixed with green papaya, carrots, and cilantro along with

chicken and a heavy-handed pour of a salty fish sauce

dressing and crunchy peanuts.

Highway 4 restaurant, 3 Hang Tre, Hoan Kiem district,

Hanoi +84 4 3926 4200

12. Bun bo nam bo

This bowl of noodles comes sans broth, keeping the

ingredients from becoming sodden and the various

textures intact. The tender slices of beef mingle with

crunchy peanuts and bean sprouts, and are flavored with

fresh herbs, crisp dried shallots, and a splash of fish

sauce and fiery chili pepper.

67 Hang Dieu, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

13. Hoa qua dam

This chunky blend of fresh tropical fruit in a cup is the

perfect local treat when the heat of Vietnamese summer

starts to wear you down. It could be considered a healthy

alternative to ice cream -- if you stick to the shaved ice

variation -- but for the full experience its best had with

diabetes-inducing condensed milk mixed in.

15B To Tich, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

14. Pho

cuon

Pho cuon

packages the

flavors of pho

and goi cuon in

one neat little

parcel. This

Hanoi take on

fresh spring

rolls uses

sheets of uncut

pho noodles to

encase fried beef, herbs and lettuce or cucumber.

The best place to find them is on Ngu Xa island on the capitals Truc Bach Lake -- specifically at

26 Nguyen Khac Hieu, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi

15. Ga nuong

KFC may be everywhere in Vietnam these days, but skip

the fast food for the local version. Honey marinated then

grilled over large flaming barbecues, the chicken legs,

wings and feet served are unusually tender, while the skin

stays crispy but not dry.

Viet Ha on Ly Van Phuc, Dong Da district, Hanoi

16. Pho xao

Pho xao may just be a slightly healthier take on my xao --

but the beauty is in the details. The flat, smoother pho

noodle doesnt crisp up like its pre-boiled instant cousin.

When done well the outer edges acquire a browned

crunchiness, whilst the center stays soft and glutinous. This dish tastes best with a fried egg and

seasoned with chili or soy sauce.

26. Just looking at this rice p orridge dish willease your stomach pains.

29. Anythi ng serve d on a stick can't fail.

30. Hanoi's lunch-crowd favorite.

24. Banh goi

These pockets of deep-fried goodness are often

described as the equivalent of a Cornish pastry or as a

Vietnamese samosa, depending on the nationality of the

person explaining.

Inside the crispy exterior youll find that its similar to

neither description, with its filling of finely minced pork,

mushrooms and vermicelli noodles.

52 Ly Quoc Su, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi +84 4 3828

5922

25. Com suon nuong

This simple meal is the Saigonese equivalent of bun cha -

- with rice in place of noodles. A tender pork cutlet is

barbecued over hot coals to give it a rich, smoky flavor,

and laid over the fluffy white com.

Com Tam Cali has a number of branches across HCMC.

Try Tam Cali 1 at 32 Nguyen Trai, District 1, HCMC +84 8

3925 2222

26. Chao

With its thick and creamy texture Vietnams rice porridge

is the best pick when your queasy stomach cant handle

much else. If you want to jazz it up you can always add

slices of chicken, fish, beef, duck or pork ribs, along with a

sprinkling of herbs and shallots.

Chao Ca specializes in fish

chao, 213 Hang Bong, Hoan

Kiem district, Hanoi +84 43

829 5281

27. Bo luc lac

Cubes of beef are tossed

around a steaming wok with

garlic, pepper, and some

vegetables to make shakingbeef. Theres nothing special

about the beef that makes it

shaking.

The name is just a literal translation that refers to the process of mixing the beef around while

cooking.

Nha Hang Ngon, 160 Pasteur, District 1, HCMC +84 8 3827 7131

foods-we-cant-live-without-342900)

28. Hat de nong

The smell of chestnuts roasting on an open fire can bring back fond memories of Christmas carols

-- until a moped transporting a giant blow-up Santa whizzes by. Pick the street vendor with the

most enticing smell.

To Tich, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

29. Banh uot thit nuong

Its all about the marinade when it comes to the grilled pork in fresh rice paper rolls that are

popular in central Vietnam.

The typical mixture coats the meat in a blend of sugar, salt, chili, lemongrass and fish sauce.

Cilantro, basil and mint are added when its served up to add some green to the appetizer.

Morning Glory, 106 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hoi An +84 510 224 1555

30. Bun cha

Pho might be Vietnams most famous dish but bun cha is the top choice when it comes to

lunchtime in the capital.

Just look for the clouds of meaty smoke after 11 a.m. when street-side restaurants start grilling up

small patties of seasoned pork and slices of marinated pork belly over a charcoal fire. Once theyre

31. The baguette, upgraded and improved.

36. Veggie food for meat lovers.

38. World's best "instant" food.

charred and crispy the morsels are served with a large bowl of a fish sauce-heavy broth, a basket

of herbs and a helping of rice noodles.

Hanois most famous bun cha outlet is 1 Hang Manh, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

31. Banh mi

The French may have brought with them the baguette,

but Vietnam takes it to a different level. How exactly

depends on what end of the country youre in.

In the north chefs stick to the basic elements of

carbohydrate, fat and proteinbread, margarine and ptbut head south and your banh mi may contain a more

colorful combination of cheese, cold cuts, pickled

vegetables, sausage, fried egg, fresh cilantro and chili

sauce.

One of the better baguette vendors in Saigon sets up

shop beside the Cherry mini-mart on DoQuang Dao,

District 1, HCMC

32. Lau

Eating this hodgepodge hotpot dish is a communal affair with everyone digging in to the oversized

boiling pot. Weve found that just about anything can (and will) go into this soup from tofu to frogs.

Its best to stick to one main protein rather than opting for the mix of meat, poultry and seafood

together.

On the northern edge of Hanois Truc Bach lake youll find a number of restaurant staff crossing

the street to deliver lau to lake-side diners

33. Banh bao

Steamed pork buns arent traditionally Vietnamese but

that doesnt stop the spongy rolls from being sold by

street vendors and in traditional Vietnamese restaurants.

The best buns have a hard boiled quail egg buried within

the minced meat, while the cheaper ones come without

any filling at all. Remember the lower the price the less

stuffing, so you might not be getting the good deal you

thought you were.

Often sold by wandering vendors patrolling Hanois Old

Quarter at all hours. In the south try Banh Bao Tho Phat,

78 Nguyen Tri Phuong, District 5, HCMC

without-090648)

34. Com rang

Fried rice may not be the most adventurous option, but

sometimes you just want some familiar grub done right.

Baby sized chunks of meat and colorful vegetables are

mixed with soy and fish sauce in a wok streetside to

create a rice dish that is still moist but slightly smoky.

Make it Vietnamese by supplementing with Bia Hanoi.

Try one of the vendors on Tong Duy Tan (aka "Food

Street"), Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

35. Bo bit tet

Vietnams equivalent to steak and eggs fills the void when

youre hankering for some greasy pub tucker. The thin

flank steak is usually served with eggs, thick potato

wedges, and Vietnamese meatballs on a sizzling cast iron

plate.

Le Hong, 489/29/18 Huynh Van Banh, District 3, HCMC

36. Com chay

Com chay refers to two things in Vietnam: vegetarian

food, or Vietnams homemade rice crispies that are

popular with children. Unlike the sweet treats in the United

States, Vietnams version of a crispy comes with meat

39. Tofu + tomato sauce, but greater thanthe sum of its parts.

40. Got crabs? Cook 'em up and devour.

(/TAGS/VIETNAMESE-RESTAURANTS) , VIETNAMESE PHO (/TAGS/VIETNAMESE-PHO)

We recommend

instead of marshmallows.

Vietnams vegetarian restaurants use mock meats to

create all the traditional dishes and usually do a pretty

good job. Although some places include artificial creations we would rather not try. Fake rubbery

snails anyone?

Try Hoa Dang vegetarian restaurant, 38 Huynh Khuong Ninh, District 1, HCMC +84 8 3820 9702

37. Che

This dessert can be served in either a bowl or a glass. The latter is the more enticing option with

the visible layers of bean jelly, coconut milk, fruit, and ice.

Best had when youre craving something sweet on a scorching day in Saigon.

Nha Hang Ngon, 160 Pasteur, District 1, HCMC +84 8 3827 7131

38. My xao bo

Mix noodles with a dollop of oil, then add beef, onions,

garlic, morning glory and some tomato for color and you

have a platter of my xao bo. The whole dish takes about

as long to make as instant noodles -- but oh so much

more flavor.

Any bia hoi establishment serves this dish, but the

eateries on Tang Bat Ho, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, have

perfected it

39. Dau phu sot ca chua

The English translation of tofu in tomato

sauce doesnt really do this dish justice. The slabs of

deep-fried soy are doused in a rich fresh tomato and spring onion coating, and seasoned with a

speckle of fresh herbs.

Chim Sao at 65 Ngo Hue, Hai Ba Trung district, Hanoi +84 43 976 0633

40. Canh bun

Another hearty soup thats high on the lunchtime agenda, this is a crab and morning glory noodlesoup. Canh bun is similar to the more well-known bun rieu crab soup, but has a small handful of

variations -- including the type of noodle used.

Look for street food vendors with Canh Bun on handwritten signs surrounded by lunchtime

crowds, or visit Bun Saigon at 73 Ly Tu Trong, District 1, HCMC

author's intro. Vietnamese food is not simple!! The number of ingredients in most of

these dishes allows for depth of flavor and delicate profile balances unique to the

cuisine. Thetechniques and skills involved is evidence of an astounding gastronomic

evolution which has occurred in the area over hundreds, if not thousands of years

beautifully incorporating the influences of the French and Chinese as well as

surrounding neighbors, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malyasia etc. The

complexity ofthe cuisine is a large part of its beauty, don't take this away from us.

Hi guy, no need to say sorry when you are from a non English speaking

country. It is good to see this type of comments and my suggestion is you may

want to ex plain briefly the dishes are about if they are not being m entioned in

the article.

I came from Hanoi myself and left the country 30+ years ago and hope to visitmy old childhood city one day. I really want to see the old street (Lan Ong)

looks like nowadays.

Vietnamese food is quite popular in America because it is tasty and healthy.

My only regret is it is still hard to find our Northern food. i.e. Pho Bac.

Keep up the good work :)

so, you're Vietnamese, Tomlee?

I love what Vu Anh said about our specialities...

but not only 40 dishes above, many others are special also....

it the best way, with the delicious soup) and the spring rolls (guoi cuon). can never get

enuf of them while we were there.. we were taken to an authentic vietnamese

My xoa bo & Bo bit tet (steak) are not VNs traditional dishes.

There are too much more delicious Vietnamese dishes. Such as: lau mam, lau vit nau

chao, canh chua ca linh bong dien dien, banh canh Trang Bang, mi Quang, gio eo nau

mang kho, ca diec nau rieu, bun rieu,....&.....

Hothanh_diem

There are lots of delicious dishes in Vietnam beside these. Each area through

countrywide will have its own local food. If you have a chance to Vietnam, welcome

you to enjoy Vietnamese foods. I'm sure that you will remain a great impression of our

country after your journey for a lifetime.

I love Vietnamese food so much

Giang Coffee at 7 Hang Gai street. Egg coffee has appeared since 1946. And now

Giang Coffee moved to 39 Nguyen Huu Huan. If you want to try the real egg coffee,

please come to 39 Nguyen Huu Huan. Egg coffee at 11 Hang Gai is fake. Im sure

about that.

Lam

In 'Cha Ca' article, the street should be 'Duong Thanh', not 'Duong Than'. Please fix it

so any one could find it easier with a map application such as Google Map.

Thanks for a good list!

I am sure the author means "sliver" of garlic or meat and not "slither".

You sure know what you're saying guys!!!! Great work!=) Will you do one like this

about vietnamese junk food??

I'll take the pho with beef

where is banh bot loc on this list?

"xoi xeo" (sticky rice with fried onion, mashed green bean and oil from chicken fat ) not

"xoi xao"

Tea8ice

Maybe you should try "cm hn", "bnh lc", "bnh bo", "bnh nm", "bn mm

nm", "bn tht nng"....( or just go to Hu(city)). I prefer them over ph. Personally, I

find ph a little too plain to my taste. There's nothing distinct about it, the soup is similar

to that of "bn" or any other soups in Vietnam. And, this is irrelevant but I think phis

such a hype and doesn't deserve all the fame, for there are so many other excellent

dishes on over Vietnam, "bn b" or "m Qung" can be better. And you can't get the

best dishes just hanging around in HN and Si Gn, local places are always the best

choices.

"Com chay refers to two things in Vietnam: vegetarian food, or Vietnams homemade

rice crispies that are popular with children."

It's funny cuz they're actually spelt and pronounced differently haha, one is "Cm

chay" and the other is "Cm chy"

Hi, just one small comment on the spelling: "Cao lau" not "Cau lao" and "banh kHot"

instead of "banh knot" should be used. Cool article by the way!

Thank you to our eagle-eyed readers who have pointed out some spelling

inconsistencies in the article. These have been corrected now. Also let us know if there

are any dishes we missed.

What are your favorite Vietnamese dishes and why do you love them? Let us know

here in the comments!

I'm VNese and i 've never thought Pho is the best dish. Try "Bun oc" or " Bun rieu cua"

to get the real taste

I love the way that the writer puts the names of dishes in original phrases!! Though it's

got some mistakes, that's even more acceptable than giving Vietnamese dishes such

ridiculous names such as rice paper, Vietnamese pancake, steamed rice or anything...

Thank you for rating our country's best dishes! Cool CNN!!! ^^

Banh Khot

"Cau Lao" ?????

"Banh Knot" -> Banh Khot. Haiz

I love Pho,
