8 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Singapore 2026: Pho From $3.90, Banh Mi and a Kitchen That Runs Till 5am

Cô Chung means Aunty Chung, and the founder ran a nursing department for 25 years before opening this in 2020. The menu is organised by Vietnamese region rather than by what sells, which is why it carries things almost nobody else in Singapore bothers with: chả cá lã vọng at $22.90, bánh bèo water fern cakes at $10.90, bún mắm crab paste and pork vermicelli at $15.90, and a charcoal-grilled chicken with a bamboo rice tube at $24.90. The everyday numbers are fair for what arrives: bánh mì $11.90 to $15.90, phở bò $15.90, phở stir-fried beef $17.90, bún bò huế $17.90, bánh xèo $19.90, and a Revolution phở at $25.90 if you want the loaded bowl. Vegetarians get a proper section rather than an afterthought, including a phở and a bánh mì both built on Impossible beef at $16.90 and $15.90. Two outlets, both open 11am to 10pm daily: Plaza Singapura #B2-20 (68 Orchard Road, no reservations at this one) and 4-5 Lor Telok at Boat Quay, which does take bookings. Delivery is free above $60. One correction worth making: several write-ups still describe Cô Chung's Plaza Singapura mains as being under $10, which was true at launch and is not true of the menu the brand publishes now. Note also that the menu on cochung.com is one list for both shops, so confirm at the counter if you are pricing a specific outlet. BEST FOR: the meal you order when someone Vietnamese is at the table.

NamNam is the Les Amis Group's Vietnamese arm, open since 2011 and now at five outlets: Great World B1-K116, Raffles City #B1-47, Wheelock Place #B2-02, Takashimaya #B204-4, and Changi Airport Terminal 3 #02-91, which opens at 7am. Everything except Takashimaya (closes 9.30pm) and T3 runs 10am to 10pm daily. The reason it sits this high is printed at the bottom of every menu section: no service charge. A $15.90 regular phở is $17.33 out the door; the same headline number at a place charging 10% is $19.06. Phở beef slices and balls is $10.90 small or $15.90 regular, kampong chicken the same, phở deluxe $13.90 or $18.90, and there is a truffle wagyu bowl at $21.90 or $35.90 if you want to see how far a phở can be pushed. Bánh mì runs $13.90 for the signature cold cuts up to $17.90 for the beef steak and eggs. Set Meals A and B pair a regular phở with three appetisers at $18.90 against a usual price of $24.80, Monday to Thursday, excluding public holidays and their eves. The current campaign is Mid-Day Pick Me Up, Monday to Thursday 2pm to 5pm, with three legs: a Mini Phở Buffet from 1 to 15 September, a Teatime Bundle from 1 to 30 September, and a Student Bánh Mì from 15 September to 15 October. NamNam has not printed prices for any of the three, on the poster or the outlet menus, so ask at the counter; the campaign end date is not guesswork, though, because the site's own pop-up script carries a hard end of 15 October 2026. BEST FOR: a clean bowl in a mall when you want to know the final number before you order.

Quê (formerly written up as Quê or Sen) is a small CBD kitchen doing Viet classics with a bit of polish, and it is the only place on this list built around office hours: Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 10am to 3pm, closed Sunday. Phở bò with ribeye slices and beef balls is $14.90 and phở gà $13.90, which is the cheapest full-size bowl in this guide outside the promo pricing. Bún bò huế with ribeye is $15.90, bánh mì runs $13.90 for the pork with ham and $15.90 for the best-selling beef, and the newest plate is an Iberico pork chop rice at $27.90. There is an egg-and-mushroom bánh mì at $13.90 with a vegan build available. Two things to know before you go. The address has moved: it is 182 Cecil Street #02-14, Singapore 069547, not the 160 Robinson Road that several 2026 guides still print. And the kitchen is small enough that items genuinely run out, so the ordering menu carries live sold-out flags on things like the fried spring rolls and the grilled chicken patty bánh mì, and the menu itself asks you to check availability on the longer-lead items before ordering at peak. Quê's homepage also carries an "Opening Special SALE 30% OFF" panel with no terms, no dates and nothing discounted on the ordering menu behind it, so treat that as decoration rather than a deal until the counter confirms otherwise. BEST FOR: a Shenton Way lunch, or a Saturday breakfast phở before 3pm.

Mrs Pho built its name on a beef broth simmered for 12 hours, and the classic phở section is priced flat: sliced beef, sliced beef and brisket, or the beef combination with meatballs, all $14.80, with a wagyu bowl at $16.80. Bánh mì is $12.80 across the egg-and-floss, braised mushroom and grilled chicken builds, the Mrs Pho dry noodle (bún thịt nướng, grilled pork chop, grilled meatball and a fried spring roll) is $14.80, and starters start at $2.80 for prawn crackers, $4.80 for the pork spring roll and $13.80 for the mixed rolls platter. The reason to read the brand's own contact block rather than a directory: Mrs Pho now lists exactly two shops, 313@somerset #01-16 and Jewel Changi Airport #03-216. Listings elsewhere still carry Beach Road, Rangoon Road and a VivoCity unit, and one aggregator even prints the Jewel outlet at #B1-248; Jewel's own dining directory agrees with the brand on #03-216. Hours are the one place the two official sources disagree, and by an hour: Mrs Pho's site says 11am to 10pm daily at both shops, while Jewel lists the airport outlet as 10am to 10pm. If you are making an early trip, take Jewel's version with a phone call. The site footer still reads 2022, so treat anything on it that is not an address or a price as potentially old. BEST FOR: a dependable $14.80 bowl in town or before a flight.

This is the one to know if you eat late. Ăn Là Ghiền opened at 45 Lorong 27 Geylang in 2019 and says it now runs eight outlets, with a menu of over 300 dishes covering hotpot, charcoal BBQ, porridge, salads and the usual noodles, plus karaoke and a large LED screen for football. The kitchen is listed as 11am to 5am the next day, daily. Main-menu prices are ordinary: phở bò tái $14.90, phở gà $14.90, bún chả hà nội $15.90, bún chả lá lốt $9.90, claypot catfish rice $12.90, hotpot sets at $49.90 for beef, tom yum or pickled fish. What is not ordinary is on the promotions page. A beef phở at $3.90 runs at the 71 Lorong 23 Geylang outlet, which is the one open 11am to 5am, and fresh Japanese oysters are $1.90 a piece from 11am to 11pm at all outlets. There is also a beer deal at the Vision Exchange branch (Heineken and 660ml Tsingtao Pure Draft, both $3.90, 11am to 8pm) and a VIP card giving 10% off plus free karaoke and event decoration. Two housekeeping notes before you set off. None of these promotions carries a start or end date, so treat them as standing until the shop says otherwise. And the Vision Exchange address on that page is printed as S059014, which is a Chinatown postcode: Vision Exchange is 2 Venture Drive, Singapore 608526. The site's own "Outlets" menu link returns a 404, so the full eight-shop list is not published anywhere we could find. BEST FOR: 2am hotpot, or the cheapest bowl of phở in this guide if you are already in Geylang.

La Saigon bakes its own sourdough baguettes and roasts its own Vietnamese coffee, and it is the most expensive kitchen in this guide by a wide margin. A La Saigon beef phở is $22, the oxtail and smoked duck bowls are also $22, the special with grass-fed ribeye, beef ball and tendon is $26, and a bone marrow soup built from the same broth is $19. If that is too much, the Petite Phở at $10.50 is the same broth in a smaller bowl, and the tasting duo pairing a petite phở with a petite bánh mì is $18. Bánh mì is where the value sits: lemongrass chicken or tofu $8, signature crispy pork or halloumi and mushroom $9, sizzling lemongrass beef $10, and a plain baguette on its own for $2.75. Two slider sets, $16 for two flavours and $23.50 for three. This month's offer is a Treat of the Month at $22, which is order a beef phở and the Vietnamese coffee is free. The catch is structural rather than seasonal: dine-in adds a 10% service charge and takeaway adds a 10% eco/packaging charge, so unlike everywhere else on this list, walking out with it does not save you the surcharge. Only the retail shelf (beans, capsules, chocolate) escapes both. Expect gaps on the menu too, since the ordering page was showing sold-out on the student meal, the beef stew, the fish cake bites and several rolls when we checked. 914 East Coast Road #01-04, The Domain, daily 10am to 10pm. BEST FOR: a long East Coast breakfast, or bánh mì on good bread.

So Pho is Katrina Group's Vietnamese chain and the cheapest sit-down meal in this guide. The Super Value Sets are $9.90, $10.90 and $11.90, each including a lemongrass tea or soft drink, with the $9.90 tier covering a phở with sliced beef or beef balls, a basil chicken rice, or a bún noodle with grilled lemongrass chicken and spring rolls. The $10.90 tier adds grilled lemongrass chicken rice and Vietnamese fried rice, and $11.90 gets you phở with a chicken chop or fried glass noodle. Appetiser add-ons are $1.90 to $2.90. The set runs Monday to Friday, dine-in only, at JEM, Clementi Mall, Tampines Mall and Waterway Point, and daily at The Woodleigh Mall; Novena Square is not on that list and gets a Buddy Up set for two at $32.80 instead, weekday evenings and all weekend. There is also a Saver Lunch Treat at $10.80 to $12.80 (Mon-Fri, 11am to 5pm), a takeaway bento at $8.90 at Woodleigh and $9.90 elsewhere, and free-flow soft drinks with fries for students at Woodleigh on weekday afternoons. Read the fine print before you compare: every one of these is subject to a 10% service charge plus GST, so the famous $9.90 is $11.87 at the till, which puts it within a dollar of NamNam's $10.90 small phở that has nothing added but GST. Two accuracy notes. The $9.90 takeaway bento names a NEX outlet, but NEX's own store directory returns zero results for So Pho and So Pho's store page lists six malls, none of them NEX. And a Marina Bay Sands So Pho appears in several 2026 roundups; it is not on the brand's list either. BEST FOR: a cheap weekday lunch in a mall, with the caveat that the price on the poster is not the price you pay.

A bánh mì specialist rather than a restaurant, working out of 505 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 #01-2668 and delivering islandwide, daily 10am to 8pm for both delivery and self-collection. The claim it leans on is that the baguette, the meat and the pâté are all made in-house, and the menu is built the traditional way, by number: Bánh Mì Thịt (Đặc Biệt), the special with the full cold-cut spread, is $13.20 and the cheapest thing on the list; xíu mại meatballs in herb tomato sauce, chả cá fish cake, thịt nướng grilled BBQ pork, nem nướng pork rolls, nem Nha Trang and hand-pulled roast chicken are all $14.90; and the roast pork and the phá lấu mixed pork intestine and ear are $16.20. Add-ons are available on every one. Two promotions run on its ordering site and neither carries an end date: WELCOME10 takes 10% off a first order, and self-pickup takes 15% off the total, which is the better of the two on any repeat order and the only way to dodge a delivery fee entirely. There is no phở here, so treat this as the bánh mì answer rather than a full Vietnamese meal. BEST FOR: a proper bánh mì delivered, or the cheapest way to feed an office if someone drives to Ang Mo Kio.
