What do you think about Vietnamese food?

Question

i'd like to hear from people who aren't Vietnamese.

Answer 1

im chinese and i really love pho and the viet subs =D

Answer 2

So yummy.  Normally I just eat pretty plain American food, but there is a little Vietnamese place right by my house and they have the best food!

Answer 3

one of my best friends is vietnamese so ive had a lot of vietnamese food in my life, its pretty good just most of the dishes are made with pork and i dont eat pork.

Answer 4

Vietnamese chefs are very versatile. Some of the best Chinese food I have ever had came out of Vietnamese restaurants.

Answer 5

I'm not Vietnamese and I love it. I have learned how to make a lot of the foods myself. My family always wants me to cook my Pho soup when they visit. I make a trip to the Vietnamese store at lease once a month and stock up on ingredients.

Answer 6

I'm half Vietnamese, does that count? i dont like it really either.

Answer 7

spicy

Answer 8

One of the best cuisine. They incorporate lots of herbs in the food. For example the pho bo = beef noodle soup. They only served it in half bowl but later the vegetables and herb toppings will make it into a full bowl. Do you notice that Vietnamese seldom had bad breath because of the vast consumption of herbs. Trust me my girlfriend is Vietnamese and she had no Bad Breath although early in the morning.

Another note is the sweetness is not original i.e sugar is added especially for the southern part whereas northern Vietnam cuisine is more chinese influenced.

Several outstanding Vietnamese food that I loved is the banh mi = Subway sandwiches. Cheap and very tasty. Com Tam = BBQ pork chop with the rice. The rice is also marvelous. short grained and very smooth

Pho Bo = beef noodle soup and of course the coffee

Nowhere you can a cuppa of very thick yet smooth flavoured coffee. Yummy

Answer 9

The pho soup is the best thing ever.

Answer 10

It's good. I like the sizzling beef, bo luc lac, com tam, and I know I would like pho but haven't had it yet. Lemongrass chicken sounds good, and banh mi, too.

Answer 11

can't say  I ever had it.

Answer 12

The only vietnamese food I had was a beef soup and it was good.  All the ingredients were fresh.  5 saw them cut the vegetables and meat in front of me.

Answer 13

I second BHarvey's answer when she said "it's good pho sure".

LOL

Answer 14

it's good "pho" sure!

Answer 15

viet food is yummy and most of the time pretty healthy too

Answer 16

Vietnamese cuisine is one of the great fusion styles of cooking.  The humble Pho soup is fantastic.  If you ever get a chance to go to some upscale Vietnamese joints, you are in for a treat.

Answer 17

I love it!

It's a combination of ingredients & techniques that include southeast Asian (because of its location) and French, because of Viet Nam's history of colonization by the French in the 1900s.

It's an amazing cuisine, and I esp. love the iced coffee!

Answer 18

Good, I like their deep fried prawn paste on sugar cane sticks,  raw spring rolls, roasted chicken, fried lemongrass pork chop,  steamed crab meat and egg cake (black pepper flavour) and certainly.. raw beef pho with basil + freshly squeezed lime juice + mint leaves, deep fried soft shell crabs, juicy big head prawns...

I'm drooling now...!!!!!!  And the fish sauce...!!!!! And.... chili .. lime juice ... mint ... lemongrass... deep fried shallots & garlic

Answer 19

I love it. Bo luc lac is my fav and the ice coffee... yum.
