Let me introduce you to the bountiful selection of noodle dishes in Vietnam. During our tour, I will teach you about the different types of noodle dishes offered here in Vietnam. I will show you the different signs and what to look for so that you can continue your journey recognizing what noodle dishes each restaurant or food stall offers. I will teach you how to order, what to ask for so that you will be prepared to venture out on your own. Bring questions and your camera because the noodle dishes are not just delicious, but beautiful to the eye too!

Do you have a gluten allergy? Vegetarian? Adventurous? During our tour, I will take you to multiple noodle shops. I have chosen a location known for its cuisine. You will be able to choose from the normal rice noodle dishes like "pho" to more adventurous dishes such as "bun moc". For those who have gluten tolerance or allergy issues, only rice noodles for y'all, maybe even mung bean noodles, and no soy sauces! But for the hearty eater you can also choose egg noodles with dozens of options- fried duck, shrimp dumplings, stir-fried noodles and more! I have spent the time sampling all the best noodle stalls and shops so can answer any questions as well as guide you to what your stomach desires. We will enjoy noodle bowls at a minimum of 2 noodle shops, so bring your appetite!

On my "oodles of noodles" tour, we can eat at more than one until you have sampled enough to make any foodie envious. I was once a naive tourist so I know what to show you so you lose that fear of going out and choosing a good place to eat. My tours are more casual and designed to educate you on the Vietnamese culture and cuisine. Ask as many questions as you'd like. If there is a dish you want to try, let's stop and split a bowl between us before we move on. Since I want you happy, don't worry, eat up! Always remember, I am here for your convenience, guarantee to leave you educated and full. If not, the next tour is complimentary!

Your Insider

Let me help you have a culinary adventure in the heart of Saigon. There are a literally hundreds of thousands of places to eat in this metropolis. Whether you are looking for a particular dish, or wanting that once in a lifetime food experience, please let me be your guide. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and my passion is food. I learned how to cook from my father and grandmother who were both chefs. Our family owned restaurants in Austin, Texas and Chinatown in San Francisco, CA. My dream is to own a bed-and-breakfast or small inn located in Vietnam, country of my ancestors. I have spent three years exploring the streets of Ho Chi Minh City to find unique dishes, discovering new trends, and making some sense of the amazing culinary scene of this city. From street vendors grilling sesame rice paper topped with quail eggs, dried shrimp, chilies, and herbs... to small family eateries serving the best crispy fried duck with egg noodles, pickled green mango... you decide what you want to consume. I can do customized tours to suit your taste, or astonish you with a food tour that introduces you to the flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. Crispy, chewy, sweet, sour, salty... you decide the textures and flavors. Poultry, seafood, goat, duck, pork, and more... what meat dishes do you want to taste? The freshest fruits are available year round. My favorite stall actually serves anywhere between six and eight different fruits over shaved ice with condensed milk and fruit syrup at tables set up street-side right next door to my apartment. If you have a taste for adventure, a passion for food, or need somewhere to begin your sampling of what foods Vietnam has to offer... please join me for a culinary adventure that will be remembered and reminisced upon for the rest of your life!
