We break down some of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong that are made just pho you
When you think of places to travel in Asia, Vietnam might always not top the list compared to the more popular Thailand or Japan. It feels like a crime to overlook the country, with its historical architecture, buzzing street markets, beautiful scenery, lush mountains and golden sand beaches.
One cannot help but also think of Vietnamese food, conjuring up images or soups served in Ho Chi Minh City of the delicious street food offerings in Hanoi, cementing it as one of Asia's best food cities. These images certainly appeal to a lot of Hongkongers, given the range of Vietnamese food in the city. In fact, you're spoiled for choice here, whether you're looking for the humble banh mi or the ever-favourite pho but there's so much more on offer as well.
With international travel still on hold, we can't fully munch on great Vietnamese food in Vietnam. But there's also nothing wrong with checking out what our city has to offer. Here, we break down some of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong that are made just pho you.

1. Le Garcon Saigon
This charming Vietnamese brasserie in Wan Chai invites you to truly dig in thanks to its DIY rice paper rolls that come with pickled cucumber, carrot, lettuce, Asian herbs and vermicelli noodles. You can also choose from a range of ingredients that include tofu, beef, pork or even a whole yellowfin snapper.
Le Garcon Saigon is helmed by head chef, Theign Yie who used to spend her days off exploring the vibrant Vietnamese communities in Syndey's suburbs. With that, she developed her understanding of traditional Saigonese ingredients while experimenting with new flavours and techniques. Other than any of the DIY rice paper rolls, we also recommend the banh xeo, Ranger's Valley wagyu bavette and charred sweet corn.
