Ask the locals, the concierge at your hotel or a taxi driver which vendors seem to do a lot of business. If it's a popular stall, the food is more likely to move quickly and be freshly prepared. Also, use your eyes. Since so much of what's fun about travel is being adventurous and trying new things, it would be a shame to miss out on the flavors of Vietnamese street food because you're not in a standard restaurant. The price is right, too.
Most dishes sell for under a dollar.
So, with the right attitude and guidance from locals, hitting the streets may be the most delicious way to discover Vietnamese cuisine.
