Rich, deeply flavoured bone broth with rare beef, flank steak, and tripe, served with rice noodles, fresh bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeño. The house specialty and Winnipeg's favourite pho — available in beef, satay, and other variations.
Rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork, BBQ pork, crispy spring rolls, shrimp paste on sugarcane, fresh vegetables, and pickled carrots — served with our house dipping sauce. A customer favourite and one of Viva's most-ordered dishes.
Made with authentic rice paper — not wonton wrappers — these golden crispy rolls are widely regarded as the best in Winnipeg. Served with nuoc mam fish sauce for dipping, they're a true taste of authentic Vietnamese street food.
Perfectly grilled pork, fresh crisp vegetables, cilantro, and pickled carrots on a crusty baguette. A true reflection of Vietnamese-French culinary heritage, and a Viva fan favourite for its bold, fresh flavours and satisfying crunch.
A bright, tangy traditional Vietnamese soup — owner Phuong Nguyen's personal recommendation and one of the most-requested dishes at Viva. Bold, fresh, and full of authentic Vietnamese flavour, it's a hidden gem worth trying on every visit.
A beloved Vietnamese-Chinese crossover featuring tender chicken in a rich, complex lemon sauce. One of the most reordered dishes at Viva and frequently praised in guest reviews — a must-try for anyone exploring our Chinese-Vietnamese menu.
