What do Vietnamese People Order in a Vietnamese Restaurant?

As a Person with celiac disease, i really learned to appreciate vietnamese cusine, as there are a huge variety of natural glutenfree dishes ❤

If anyone wants a break from ordering pho, bun bo hue is so freaking good

Vietnamese food is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite cuisines. I could honestly eat it everyday. It is always so comforting but still so light and balanced and that uses ALL the parts of your tastebuds without being overwhelming to those unfamiliar with Southeast Asian cuisine. It is amazing, delicious, diverse, and accessible for newbies. Thank you Vietnam for your amazing food that has given me tons of comfort when I needed it.

Vietnamese food is always like veggies, veggies and veggies but the flavour is the bomb. Healthy and delicious at the same time

Finally it's here! As a Vietnamese, I was super excited when I see your post, and the episode absolutely SLAYED. Thank you Beryl for choosing to explore more of our cuisine and delivering a wonderful episode as always

I lived in Vietnam for 3 years (and have returned for several extended visits since). I fell in love with the food immediately and have made it my mission to try everything I can whenever I’m in Vietnam. Oh man I feel like Ive just scratched the surface. It’s an incredible cuisine and naturally within it are so many regional specialties. So fresh, and simple yet complex. Also healthy. Bun thit nuong is one of my go-to favorites. Also love Cha Ca, bun cha, banh xeo, and Bo Kho, bun Bo nam Bo. You are lucky you live near good Vietnamese restaurants. Can’t find many in the rural Midwest 😢

Bun thit nuong is my favorite Vietnamese dish I’ve found so far. It’s sooooo refreshing and an amazing summer dish. You get fresh herbs, cold noodles, the most refreshing sauce and pickles, and smokey, toasty BBQ.

They definitely need to put Cơm tấm, Bánh Bèo and Bún Bò Huế in here too! You can't talk about Vietnamese food without these iconic dishes!

I can see now that most Vietnamese cuisine have that Yin and Yang element, hot and cold, heavy and light taste to it. Very unique

One of my best friends is Vietnamese, and one appetizer that's always at their family gatherings are these small egg rolls stuffed with spiced meat, called Chả Giò – Vietnamese Imperial Rolls. They are AMAZING, the best egg rolls ever! They don't have the cabbage or other big pieces of veggie filler of other culture's fried egg rolls. Everything is processed into a spiced meat paste that firms up with the frying. I have trouble stopping myself from heaping them on my plate when they are available in large quantities. Super addicting! They are also commonly served with bun (also a favorite of mine), usually along with that lemongrass pork or some other meat.

for the lotus root salad, it's usually served with big shrimp chips in restaurants! either way it's super delicious

I'm a Filipino and I have always been dreaming to try a lot of Vietnamese food. I find it interesting due to the amount of veggies they put in and how well-balance their diet is which is a contrast to Filipino's.

I went to a Vietnamese wedding in February... literally had about 8 to 9 courses. It was amazing! Definitely want to go to another one again! 😊

My mother is Vietnamese and most of these dishes she never made. It really depends on the region on the type of dishes and how they are prepared. My mother was big on soups like pho, sour soup, etc. She made a lot of clay pot meat dishes, but she never used coconut juice. She loved making a meal that consists of a meat with either white rice or noodles, tons of fresh grown herbs and cucumber on the side with usually soy sauce or fish sauce. Very simple. It's always good to try different dishes at different restaurants, because nothing is made the same. My mother is 82 and came to the US at 36, so I don't know if her cooking is different due to what she was taught or like I said regional type meals.

When I lived in San Diego I had a Vietnamese restaurant around the block that I ate lunch at every day. Whenever I felt a cold coming on I’d order spicy lemongrass soup and bring a box of Kleenex. It would completely knock out a cold before it got started!

Bún Thit Nuong is my favorite Vietnamese dish. I can never remember the name, but it is so good. The first time I had it was the first time I had really had fish sauce as a condiment, and I fell in love with it.

I use to live in Saigon and would take my friends who were visiting to go eat Banh Xeo. This was always a hit. You really need to give this a try if it's available at your restaurants. Don't order it to go. There's a certain "crispiness" that is lost if you order it to go. You really want to order it and eat it immediately. It's literally a favorite amongst Vietnamese as well.

I live near a large Viet community in Queensland. My favourite is Bò Kho, beef stew, with baguette and extra butter, i love the fall apart beef and chunks of sweet carrot! Or Combination Pork Chop with Broken Rice.

mainland vietnamese here... its currently 10pm ive just gotten home and was surprised by this video!! even better that the leftover im currently having is the thịt nướng in the bún thịt nướng haha (though i am having it with rice) it definitely put a smile on my face, thank you beryl and everyone ❤❤❤

First time I had Vietnamese food was when I moved to Melbourne from Peru, it has become one of my favourite foods to eat; one my biggest surprises was trying Che Ba Mau for the first time!
