What to order

  • Bun cha — Hanoi. Grilled pork patties in a warm dipping broth, with cold rice noodles and herbs. Arguably better than pho and far less known.
  • Bun bo Hue — Central Vietnam. Lemongrass and chilli beef noodle soup, more assertive than pho in every direction.
  • Com tam — Broken rice with grilled pork chop, shredded pork skin and a steamed egg cake. Saigon street food and a complete meal.
  • Banh xeo and banh khot — Crisp turmeric crepes and small coconut pancakes, wrapped in herbs and lettuce.

How to spot a good one

  • Herbs, fresh and in quantity — Vietnamese cooking uses herbs as an ingredient rather than a garnish — mint, perilla, cilantro, Thai basil, rau ram. A stingy herb plate tells you about the whole kitchen.
  • Nuoc cham balanced properly — The fish sauce dipping mixture that dresses half the menu. It should be light, bright and balanced between sweet, sour, salty and hot. Heavy and sweet is the common failing.
  • Regional labels — Hue, Hanoi, Saigon. Central Vietnamese food — Hue in particular — is spicier and more complex than the southern food most people know.
