Viva Restaurant's Cha Gio are widely regarded as the best spring rolls in Winnipeg — made the authentic Vietnamese way with real rice paper, not wonton wrappers. Crispy, golden, and perfectly filled, they are served with nuoc mam fish sauce for dipping. An ESL teacher who lived in Vietnam calls them the only truly authentic spring rolls she has found in the city.
What sets Viva Restaurant's Cha Gio apart from every other spring roll in Winnipeg is the wrapper. We use authentic Vietnamese rice paper — not the Chinese-style wonton wrappers used by most restaurants. This makes all the difference: the rice paper crisps up into an impossibly light, shatteringly crunchy shell that is far superior to doughy alternatives.
Our spring rolls are filled with a traditional Vietnamese mixture of pork, glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, and aromatics, then deep-fried to golden perfection. They are served alongside fresh lettuce leaves and nuoc mam — our house-made fish sauce dipping sauce with garlic, lime, chilli, and a touch of sugar. The combination of crispy roll, fresh lettuce wrap, and tangy sauce is the authentic Vietnamese street food experience.

"I am an ESL teacher, and have lived in Vietnam, so I've been treated to a lot of exquisite home cooking. This is my favourite Vietnamese restaurant — the only authentic cha gio (spring rolls) I've found in Winnipeg using rice paper, not wonton wrappers (Chinese style). Very darn yummy!"

"This is hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in Winnipeg. My husband and I have been ordering regularly for the past 15 years. Their spring rolls are the best I've had — and I've travelled throughout Vietnam! Phuong is amazing and truly recognizes and appreciates the patrons."

"Best Vietnamese/Chinese food in town. Always fresh, great menu and great staff. Vermicelli bowls, spring rolls, rice rolls, lemon chicken, Korean BBQ beef — all fantastic! Great fresh food!"
