First on our ranking is Banh Mi & Pho at 86A Pilsudski Street, just a 10-minute walk from the Central Railway Station. The restaurant is mainly distinguished by its authentic pho broth, which is cooked for hours according to a traditional recipe. The menu includes a wide selection of dishes, and the staff is happy to advise on choices. Prices are moderate, and the portions will satisfy even the biggest hungers. The restaurant is handicapped-accessible, has air conditioning and offers card payment.

The second place is Mai Lan at 44 Szczęśliwa St. It is a place particularly appreciated for its Peking duck and pad thai. The restaurant is located in a quiet neighborhood, 15 minutes by bus from the center (lines 115 and 125). The interior is neat and spacious, making it an ideal place for a family dinner. Another advantage is that the level of spiciness of the dishes can be modified according to guests' preferences, which will be especially appreciated by families with children.

In third place is Pho&Nem at 25 Wielka Street, which delights not only with pho soup, but above all with the best Saigon in the city. The restaurant is easiest to reach by streetcar (lines 3, 10, 33), getting off at the 'Rynek' stop. The place is famous for its fast service and fresh ingredients. The menu is vegan and vegetarian friendly, offering many meatless options.

The fourth place is Viet Nam Oriental Bar at 106 Buforowa St. This place is especially recommended for lovers of spicier flavors and large portions. Access is possible by bus line 125 (stop 'Buforowa'). The restaurant is famous for its excellent curry and beef dishes. The interior is modest but clean, and the service is extremely friendly. Prices are among the lowest in the list, which, combined with the size of the portions, makes this place very attractive.

Fifth, but equally noteworthy, is VITA - Asian Street Food at 37aa Walbrzyska Street. This is a newer establishment on the culinary map of Wroclaw, which has quickly gained recognition for its fusion Vietnamese-Thai cuisine. Access by streetcar line 4 or 20 to the 'FAT' stop. The interior is modern and spacious, and the menu combines classics with modern interpretations of Asian dishes.

When going to a Vietnamese restaurant, it's worth remembering a few rules. Most establishments serve dishes throughout the day, but it's best to visit during off-peak hours (avoiding the hours of 1 to 3 pm and 6 to 8 pm). Reservations are recommended on the weekend, especially for larger groups. All of the restaurants described offer take-out meals, and some cooperate with popular delivery apps.

On your first visit, it's worth ordering pho soup - a hallmark of Vietnamese cuisine. It is traditionally served with side dishes that you add according to your preference. Don't be afraid to experiment with sauces and herbs - they are what give the dish its distinctive flavor.

All the described establishments are geared to serve international guests - menus are available in Polish and English, often with photographs of the dishes. The staff is happy to advise on choices and can adjust the level of spiciness to suit the guest's preferences. For families with children, we recommend visiting in the midday hours, when establishments are less crowded. Most restaurants also offer options for vegetarians and vegans, just ask for a modification of the chosen dish.

During the summer season, look out for establishments with gardens - Mai Lan and VITA offer outdoor dining options. In winter, on the other hand, we will especially appreciate the warming pho soups and aromatic curries served at each of the described places.
