Hanoi Streetside Restaurants Some of the most popular food in Vietnam is the street-food, which tends to be authentic and traditional Vietnamese staples. You are unlikely to find a burger van here, but there are many locals making banh mi, pho, and Vietnamese pancakes. The street food is always very affordable and easy to come by, especially in the busier areas of town. Alongside healthy and savory meals, you can find food vendors selling desserts such as ice cream, rice puddings, and baked goods.
