    Eating off the street vendors is a great experience. Just look for a clean store and squat down and eat with the locals. The name of many of these places are called "stove and stool" restaurants...because that is all there is Look at the picture and you'll understand

    Pho is a good choice to try

  • I think when anyone visits Vietnam, they should have the street food there. Not only is it very very cheap it is also very tasty. I never go to any big restaurants but to all the places the locals go. Enjoy!

    This small street stall is my wifes favorite snail place, Vietnamese love freshwater snails and seafood (especially blood clams). It's as much social as it is culinary, sit with a cold beer (well it would be beer with ice) slowly picking your way through plates of winkles, big fat snails, scallops, blood clams and my favorite one which i don't know it's name but its a spiral thing cooked in coconut milk, you just suck the end and it pops out. Don't shy away from food on the street, I have never had problems with it.
