Pho soup
- Banh bao: ball-shaped dumplings most commonly filled with pork in Vietnamese restaurants. Along with the pork you'll find vegetables, mushrooms, and eggs. Rather than being boiled, these dumplings are steamed in Vietnamese restaurants.
- Bahn mi thit: a baguette filled with pâté, cold meats, mayonnaise, pickled daikon and carrot, and cucumber slices. These are very popular lunch meals in Vietnam and will be served in most Vietnamese restaurants.
- Bun: Vietnamese vermicelli rice noodles. These are very popular in Vietnamese restaurants and you will find a number of dishes using this type of noodle.
- Ca phe sua da: (or café sua da) is coffee served at Vietnamese restaurants—but over ice and with condensed milk. Vietnam is the second largest coffee producer in the world, after Brazil, and for this reason many different types of coffee will feature on the menus of Vietnamese restaurants.
- Com tam: a rice dish with grilled pork served in Vietnamese restaurants. This differs from others, as the rice grains used in this dish are broken.
- Che: rather like rice pudding, this is a sweet rice dish served as a dessert in Vietnamese restaurants. Sugar and fruit is added to give its sweet flavour.
- Goi: the Vietnamese word for salad. A large selection of these will be found at Vietnamese restaurants, including Goi Du Du—a salad dish with shredded papaya and prawns.
- Mì Qung: a very popular soup dish in Vietnamese restaurants, but also very complicated. The recipe calls for thick rice noodles seasoned with turmeric, pork chops, egg, shrimp, peanuts, Vietnamese beef sausage, chilli, water mint, basil, coriander, water spinach, shaved banana flower, lettuce and a kind of rice cracker.
- Nuoc Mam: a dipping sauce served at Vietnamese restaurants. The sauce is made from lemon/lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and water.
- Pho: often seen as the national soup, this is a beef noodle broth served in Vietnamese restaurants, made with basil, hoisin sauce, onion, ginger, star anise, coriander and bean sprouts. It is also a popular name for Vietnamese restaurants.
- Summer rolls: very much like spring rolls, but the wrapping is made from thin rice paper and they are not fried. These are typically served as an appetiser at Vietnamese restaurants but, despite the warm name, are served cold.
