Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Brisbane

This Annerley cafe is a little gem with an innovative menu that reflects the kitchen's Vietnamese roots while incorporating some western traditions. Slices, cakes, muffins and biscuits are baked in-house and the rice paper rolls and the pho on offer are second to none. The beans come care of Toby's Estate but we reckon you should keep things traditional and try a Vietnamese coffee in all its condensed milky goodness.

One of Brisbane's very best pho joints, you just can't go past Tan Thanh in Inala. Sure, it's set across the road from the Probation and Parole Office, but despite this, we think you'll find the ambience surprisingly upbeat. The fresh rice paper rolls come with a zingy sauce of hoisin, crushed peanut and chilli and the pho is second-to-none. The crispy skin chicken noodle soup is a standout, too.

Set in an Adelaide Street Laneway, Little Saigon Grill is bringing colour and spice to its little corner of the CBD. The kitchen offers modern Vietnamese lunches to hungry office workers with the likes of rice paper rolls, plump with juicy prawns and veggies, or crunchy baguettes stuffed wit contemporary fillings. There are pho options as well as hot and cold noodle dishes and everything's wrapped up in eco-friendly packaging, including cutlery, which is sourced from Oxfam.
