Downtown Miami’s growth has led to a diversity of food options. One of the newest spots is 3 Chefs, which serves both Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. It’s not just for take out and delivery, though both options are available. There are tables and booths and two TVs on the wall, which are enough to entertain […]
Vietnamese in Miami New Times
Showing 1 - 20 of 20
Pho, Vietnam’s iconic soup, seems to captivate everyone who wanders into Basilic. Two women in business attire, all pencil skirts and reading glasses, load their pho with Thai basil and bean sprouts. Three dusty construction workers spice the soup with sriracha. An older gentleman takes a seat by himself and announces he’ll have the same […]
The menu is more limited at this little eatery than at most of Miami’s Asian places. But prices are equally diminutive, and quality is superior. A terrific introduction for those unfamiliar with Vietnamese food is the Saigon Special combination plate, including an elegant crisp-skinned spring roll; skewered strips of juicy grilled pork (chicken is an […]

In 1975, Vietnamese-born Tung Nguyen was young, pregnant, and ready to start a culinary revolution. Five years later, she and refugee sponsor Kathy Manning opened Hy Vong. Today the spot is one of Little Havana’s best-kept secrets, serving up authentic Vietnamese standards with international twists. Take a seat in the unassuming dining room on any […]
Long one of the bright lights in Miami’s quality-challenged Asian culinary scene, this cramped, no-frills eatery still turns out creditable Vietnamese cuisine. Cha gio are excellent, and blue crabs in a tart-sweet tamarind sauce are worth the amount of effort it takes to extract the minuscule nuggets of crabmeat. Be advised: Little Saigon takes cash […]
The interior of Miss Saigon looks otherworldly. The folks who work here dress in traditional odia (brilliantly hued long dresses) and have a knack for making guests feel welcome. Have no fear if this is your first time eating Vietnamese. An extremely friendly (and on occasion, flamboyant) server will ask you a series of questions: […]
The interior of Miss Saigon looks otherworldly. The folks who work here dress in traditional odia (brilliantly hued long dresses) and have a knack for making guests feel welcome. Have no fear if this is your first time eating Vietnamese. The traditional beef pho is large enough to share and comes with rice noodles and […]

At this extremely modest, bare-bones little Vietnamese restaurant, you’ll find all the comforts of home-cooking, if few of the creature comforts of home. No matter. For such wholesome, delicious, and blessedly inexpensive food, you won’t begrudge the simple decor. Most of the menu is built around noodle soups, pho, and variations with different noodles and […]
Phuc Yea is a grand 110-seater filled with the sounds of ’90s hip-hop and the scent of Vietnam’s ubiquitous fish sauce. That irresistible combo earned Cesar Zapata and Ani Meinhold’s Upper East Side mainstay a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation in 2022. Try the green papaya salad, in which chilies, garlic, dried shrimp and squid, and […]
Saigon Cuisine serves up a piping hot bowl of pho that is as close to a plastic stool on the side of a Ho Chi Minh back street as one can get without a plane ticket. It comes in many shapes, sizes, and forms. You can order chicken, beef, seafood, or veggie varieties of the […]
At Talde, the new Asian-American restaurant inside the Confidante Hotel, the chef and his crew – which includes executive chef Jeanine Denetdeel from Talde Brooklyn – dont take themselves too seriously. In fact, they want customers to know it’s OK to let loose. To facilitate that, they have the underground-club vibe down pat – from […]
If you’re longing for a taste of Vietnam minus the flight, look no further than Tâm Tâm. Honored as a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in 2024, the small restaurant at the corner of NW First Street and First Avenue across from the county courthouse downtown has an outdoor façade that may be unassuming, but the […]

If you’ve got 20 bucks, you can dine like royalty at this tiny, ’70s-inspired eatery. Tran An owner Jon Nguyen’s 18-seat restaurant offers Vietnamese comfort food: a hearty pho, a tangy papaya salad, bánh mì sandwiches, and a chicken-and-rice dish are all satisfying and affordable. The pho’s broth is rich, heaped with slices of chicken […]
