vietnamese food – TOKIDOKI (NOMAD)

Hidden in an alley off of Do Quang Dau (near Bui Vien), PhinPhin Coffee serves authentic Vietnamese phin drinks like Salt Coffee, Avocado Coffee, and Coconut Coffee – plus smoothie bowls & healthy food. Cozy, vintage vibes in the heart of Saigon. I had a mushroom eggs Benedict for lunch and got a tuna melt to go.

Another delicious bowl of beef pho at Pho Quynh at Do Quang Dau/Pham Ngu Lao

My favorite Banh Mi: Egg, Cheese, Cucumber, and Soy Sauce.

Always Com Tam Suon (Grilled Pork and Rice.) I add extra cucumber. 😉

My Avocado and Chicken Sandwich, heavy on the tomatoes and lettuce, from The Hungry Pig 🐖 in a hem off of Pham Ngu Lao.

Gỏi cuốn — fresh rice paper rolls packed with vermicelli, herbs, lettuce, and your choice of shrimp, pork, or both. Mine had both. No frying, no fuss. Just clean, bright flavors wrapped tight and served with peanut dipping sauce. Vietnam in one bite.

Bún thịt nướng — rice vermicelli noodles topped with smoky chargrilled pork, crisp bean sprouts, fresh herbs, crushed peanuts, and a splash of nước chấm fish sauce dressing. Cold noodles, hot meat, everything in between. Saigon in a bowl.

Cơm tấm sườn — broken rice topped with a chargrilled pork chop, served with a fried egg, shredded pork skin, cucumber, pickled vegetables, and a pool of sweet fish sauce on the side. Humble ingredients, serious flavor. The dish Saigon wakes up to every morning.
