Vietnamese food is my favourite thing in life and for many years there weren’t many options at all, but with little places like these, Helsinki has finally heard the call. After opening their first place in the Punavuori district which was pretty small, they moved to this bigger location to make even more people happy with their delightful dishes. Tucked away in the backyard of Eerikinkatu street, it’s easy to miss but worth to keep an eye out for it! 

Over the last summers, one of my go-to lunch options was grabbing a Banh-Mi sandwich from the Vibami food truck that was doing its rounds in the city, and it was just absolute perfection for a quick bite to take to the park or the beach. I definitely recommend the lemongrass chicken, which is still a favourite of mine after a couple of years. Options for vegetarians are also available.
