10 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Singapore

Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore have multiplied well beyond a single bowl of pho, spanning casual mall chains, CBD lunch counters and family-run shophouses. From slow-simmered beef pho and crackly banh mi to com tam broken rice and fresh spring rolls, the ten spots below cover a range of regions and budgets. Each was checked against its own website or an official listing; confirm outlets and opening hours before you go.

NamNam Noodle Bar is a casual Vietnamese chain, part of the Les Amis Group, that says it has served pho and banh mi in Singapore since 2012 with a no-added-MSG approach. The counter-service menu runs from beef and chicken pho to grilled-meat and vegetarian banh mi, with outlets in malls including Wheelock Place, Takashimaya and Raffles City. It suits a quick, affordable Vietnamese bowl in the middle of town.

Moc Quan, in UE Square near the Singapore River, focuses on the kind of Vietnamese street food found in Ho Chi Minh City and says it hand-carries ingredients back from Vietnam to keep the flavours authentic. Pho is a signature, served alongside banh mi and grilled-pork vermicelli (bun thit nuong). Its name loosely means 'simple restaurant', which fits the unfussy, welcoming setting.

Bánh Mì Saigon is a small takeaway shop tucked under an HDB block in Ang Mo Kio, run by a Vietnam-raised owner and focused squarely on banh mi. The baguettes are packed with Vietnamese cold cuts, roast pork and pate, and the shop also stocks a handful of Vietnamese grocery items. It is a neighbourhood counter rather than a sit-down restaurant, so plan to takeaway.
