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 DEAL: the Mid-Day Pick Me Up campaign has ended: the Mini Phở Buffet closed on 15 September, the Teatime Bundle on 30 September and the last leg, the Student Bánh Mì, on 15 October 2026. NamNam has not announced a replacement, so the $18.90 sets are the standing deal.NEW BOWL: a limited bowl of phở with beef short rib, tiger prawn and beef balls at $35.90, 15 portions a day.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: caramelised chicken, tofu, smoked duck or fish cake $8, signature crispy pork or halloumi and mushroom $9, sizzling lemongrass beef $10, and a plain baguette on its own for $2.75. Slider sets run $16 for two flavours, $23.50 for three, $31 for four and $39 for five, and a Saigon High Tea for four (four sliders, four drinks, fritters and a sweet platter) is $53, daily 2pm to 6pm. 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 10% too (its ordering page now labels the collection charge a service charge; it used to be described as an 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 still the cheapest sit-down meal in this guide, but its Super Value Sets changed in October. PRICE: the sets now run in four tiers. $9.90 is phở with sliced beef or beef balls (usual price $14.30 on the brand's own poster); $10.90 is a basil chicken rice or the sliced beef and beef ball phở; $11.90 is a chicken phở with prawn cake or a lemongrass curry chicken rice; $12.90 is the bún with grilled lemongrass chicken and spring rolls, or a grilled lemongrass chicken rice.WHAT CHANGED: the drink is no longer included. Lemongrass tea or a soft drink is now +$2 and a Vietnamese drip coffee +$3, with an imperial roll at $3 and a summer-roll-plus-spring-roll pair at $4. The old Saver Lunch Treat, the $8.90/$9.90 takeaway bento and the Woodleigh student deal are no longer on the promotions page.FINE PRINT: weekdays only, dine-in only, not on public holidays, valid till 30 November 2026, and every price is subject to a 10% service charge plus GST, so the $9.90 is $11.87 at the till. Add the $2 drink the set used to include and it is $14.27. Novena Square also runs a Buddy Up set for two at $32.80, weekdays 5pm to 9.30pm and all day on weekends and public holidays.OUTLETS: So Pho's store page now shows template placeholder text instead of addresses, so we went to its ordering site, which lists five pickup outlets: Tampines Mall #04-30, JEM #03-22, Novena Square (238 Thomson Road #02-43/45), Waterway Point (83 Punggol Central #01-28) and Clementi Mall #04-34. The Woodleigh Mall outlet is marked inactive there and no longer appears in Woodleigh Mall's own directory, so do not head there for it.BEST FOR: a cheap weekday phở in a mall, if you are happy drinking water.

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, level with the double-egg and vegetarian builds as the cheapest bánh mì; 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; the roast pork and the phá lấu mixed pork intestine and ear are $16.20; and the Bò Lá Lốt special beef tops the list at $17.90. 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. The menu has also grown past bread since our first check: two phở (chicken, and a mixed-beef thập cẩm) at $19.20, bún noodle bowls from $16.20, and a bò kho beef stew with bread at $19.20. Bánh mì is still the reason to order, though, and at $19.20 the phở costs more than a bowl at most of the sit-down places above.BEST FOR: a proper bánh mì delivered, or the cheapest way to feed an office if someone drives to Ang Mo Kio.
