Vietnamese dishes

Banh mi, pho

Vietnamese dishes emphasize fresh herbs, light broths, and balanced flavors—sweet, sour, salty, and umami.

Pho, a fragrant noodle soup, and banh mi, a crusty sandwich with pickled vegetables and meat, have become internationally known.

Rice paper rolls, vermicelli bowls, and dishes built around fish sauce and lime characterize the cuisine: We ordered several Vietnamese dishes to share.
