About Our Deluxe Vermicelli Bowl

The Deluxe Vermicelli Bowl (Bun Thit Nuong) is one of the crown jewels of Viva Restaurant's menu — a dish that guests return for again and again. It starts with a base of perfectly cooked, light rice vermicelli noodles, then layers on an assortment of proteins and toppings that create a symphony of flavours and textures.

The bowl is generously topped with charbroiled grilled pork, BBQ pork, a crispy cha gio spring roll, shrimp paste on sugarcane, fresh bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, cucumber, pickled carrots, and fragrant herbs including cilantro, mint, and basil. The house-made nuoc cham dipping sauce ties everything together with the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and umami.
