- Bun thit nuong (bún thịt nướng), is one of the many outstanding Vietnamese dishes of rice vermicelli noodles topped with grilled pork. Get the details about this restaurant here: migrationology.com/2014/12/bun...
When I was traveling in Saigon, this was one of the major dishes that many of you suggested that I should eat, and so one day, I decided to go in search of a restaurant called Chi Thong Bun Thit Nuong in District - a restaurant that came as a high recommendation from Eating Saigon (www.eatingsaigon.com/2012/11/1.... It took me a little while to find the restaurant, but eventually I could smell the pork down the road, and I knew I was in the right place to chow down.
You can always order bun thit nuong (bún thịt nướng), which comes with the vermicelli noodles topped with grilled pork, but I also like the addition of a fried crispy spring roll on top, which goes by the name of bún thịt nướng chả giò. As soon as I ordered, the owner took a bowl, and piled in a handful of vegetables, which I think mostly consisted of Vietnamese coriander, cilantro, and lettuce. She then took a handful of rice vermicelli noodles and added them to the bowl. Next step in the assembly line was to go in for a couple of skewers of sweet marinated grilled pork, which had been grilled just moments before, and she placed them right on top of the noodles. After that, she took a freshly deep fried spring roll, and using a pair of scissors, she sliced that up on top too. The final step in my bowl of bun thit nuong cha gio was to add all the seasoning - which included a few types of sauce, one of them being the sweet Vietnamese fish sauce, some other sauces, and a scallion oil, which I think also included some pork oil and pieces of pork cracklings.
Once my bowl of Vietnamese bun thit nuong cha gio was delivered to my table, it was already almost seasoned to perfection, but I just needed to add some chili to make it perfect. The red crushed chilies gave it that extra touch it needed. The rice vermicelli noodles were soft and slightly sticky, and I really loved that beautiful mixture of fresh Vietnamese herbs that were roughly cut on the bottom of my bowl. Additionally, the pieces of grilled pork meat were sweet and smoky tasting, and the egg roll was crispy and incredibly flavorful. The dressing was sweet and salty, and the chilies added the kick it needed. Overall, it was a great bowl of bun thit nuong.
Bun thit nuong (bún thịt nướng) is a Vietnamese dish that you’ll find throughout Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), from indoor restaurants to street food stalls, so when you’re there, you shouldn’t have any problem locating it. Bún Thịt Nướng Chị Thông was very good, and the owner is very nice as well.
If you want to eat here, here are some details about Chi Thong Bun Thit Nuong:
Address: 195 Cô Giang, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Open hours: 7 am - 10 pm daily
Price: For my bowl, it cost 40,000 Vietnamese Dong

Mark Wiens Watching you mix up those noodles was making me so hungry! All those chilies and smoky pork, wow! Another great vid Mark!
Thank you *****
Hi mark we’re travelling Vietnam and gonna be in Saigon in March so just checking is this amazing place still open ?? It looks tasty 😋 Thankyou 🙏
O.K. I was here for business for 7 days and I had breakfast here after seeing this video (fortunately the hotel was close) and I went back another 4 times and went lunch a couple times it is seriously so good. Bits of pork, crispy rolls, so amazing. The best way to start your day.
It’s because I made it
What is the brown sauce they put in the noodles?
@@bepbe11 There is no brown sauce
@@bfg3890In the beginning of the video, she poured a laddle of sauce in the bowl of noodles @0.45
@@bepbe11 Oh, it's fish sauce with some other stuff mixed in but I couldn't tell you what exactly but I'm pretty sure soy was in the mix. Looks black to me.
A little breakfast in #Saigon #Vietnam ... press play to watch the video now...

Mark Wiens those spicy sauces and condiments are wicked! Would love to see you do some videos on the ingredients - the food always looks fresh, but how are they grown, harvested and stored? Any fertilizers involved? The video you did on the coffee plantations brought back some memories of the village I grew up in, in the Caribbean. The fragrant scent of the coffee flowers in the early morning is unlike anything you'll ever smell.
caribbeanpot A lot of the food is local, maybe beef comes from the States. Herbs are weeds and don't need fertilizing much only grains like rice & wheat & corn need fertilizers. I think Vietnam is second in the world in rice production after the States.
Can't go wrong with that! Its an Asian staple!
professorM Beef are not from the states, they don't have that kind of money for shipping meats. My parents are born in Laos and to tell you the truth they rais their own animals and eventually kill it as their source of protein. As far as their veggies, its as organic as it can be. They dont have the sources that we have here so veggies are grown with sunlight and rain. . Thats pretty much it. They do have electricity so they use their refrigerator to store their produce in.
professorM And I believe Asia is the #1 rice producers. If youve seen videos they have rice fields all over Asia.
In my opinion vietnamese food is the best cuisine ever. So suttle, so fresh so well cooked. Think I was Vietnamese in Another lifetime :). I am vegetarian but when I am in Vietnam I crave the grilled meats. Vietnamese people knows barbecue as nobody else. Pho, bun and ban mie... I crave that. I live in Europe and good Vietnamese food is hard to get by here. I am so jealous!
TheYlro I'm Vietnamese and I'm living in Taiwan now. I can tell you not only in Europe hard to find good Vietnamese food :(( Nothing will be the same, Pho, Bun thit nuong, Banh Mi, Com Tam... nothing at all 😭😭😭
thank you very much . for introducing my country's culture ...
I'm lucky, I live in California and we have tons of Vietnamese spots.
TheYlro where n European
You should try Thai food. I like Thai food more than Vietnamese food, and Vietnamese food is bomb!
I like how he does the same little head turn and facial expression every time he likes a dish. :)
Thank you very much Annika Orne
His head turns and facial expression is what first caught my interest and subsequently I decided to subscribe to his channels. Keep up the good work Mark Wiens. Your Tokyo food video made me a fan!
he needs to trademark that expression...sue anyone who copies that! haha
i hate his facial expression. its so annoying
Annika Orne lol, does he even look back at the video?
I binge watched your channel in the last couple years but just now stumble on these videos about Vietnam, I love it and your pronounciation is very good.
Your assessment on Vietnamese spring rolls and egg rolls being the BEST in the world is non-debatable! I second that without bias :)!
Love the way Mark explains the the , flavors,colors and the textures. These dishes have many components. Good job relating that to the viewers.
OH wow nice video. I think I have had that first one you showed in our local Vietnamese restaurant. Love you videos, keep it going mark
Your videos are simply awesome. Your descriptions are spot on and makes me want to eat!
I do feeld happy and satisfactory when Mark enjoyed my country's food that much. Thank you Mark !
It's 11PM here on the Westcoast of America, can't get my bun for another 12 hours. I'm literally salivating, and tummy's grumbling. This is pure torture! Subscribed!
I love your passion for food haha! :) you make me want to travel across the world just to try these delicious dishes. Keep it up mark you're awesome! :D
Awesome intro of the grilled meat skewers I love the close-up of the food and how you describe it I've never seen a variety of that much food in one bowl with the contrasting flavors....very well-done video Mark!!!!!!!!!

Looks fantastic Mark! Shouldnt have watch it at 2am hahahaha makes me really hungry! Great Video!
Honestly this is one of my favorite dishes ever.
Mark, watching so many videos of you putting lots of chili sauce or any spicy sauce on your food makes me want to do that, even though I know I can't handle that much spice. You make it look sooooo good!!!
Mark...I live my travel and food fantasies through your vids. I've bookmarked several so I can be sure to try them when I'm able to make it back to BKK. Thank you mak mak
Hotel breakfast is my joy. If my stomach goes funny, it's back to the hotel room to ''sit'' it out. Love your videos so much,Mark.
Really nice! I always love Vietnamese food like Bun! However enjoy ur video very much! Really good to watch you in Vietnam!
Dont know how long did u stay in Saigon but the amount of dishes that u got to try were pretty much my whole-life-worth of dishes that I have eaten. Well done on tasting Sai Gon Mark! Great foodie u r.
Hey Mark! I've never tried this but it looks VERY GOOD! I will go and search for it here in Thailand now. Mahalo for another great informational video. Keep um coming!
No problem Jon Watanabe, thanks for watching.
I am eating instant noodles while watching this :(. You are very attentive and hard working, well deserves your subscribers, I am impressed you are replying to every comment, keep up the good work, one day you will do well enough that you can't reply to every comment posted on your videos, then we'll think back to now the good ol' times.
My husband and I have a trip planned to SE Asia in about 6 months and I am seriously planning to eat at at many places that you recommend as I possibly can. You do such a great job of describing the food!
Thank you very much no, and so cool to hear that you're planning to come to SE Asia to travel.
I visited this restaurant a couple of days ago after watching your video. Really great food. Really great city.
Landing in Saigon on monday. What is the one place you consider a must-visit restaurant? Love your vids and use them for inspiration when traveling.
Good food review like always Mark! .With respect Mr.Molina
Thank you Linzey Molina
I've just finished cooking a tasty western Sunday lunch of pork leg roast with creamed potatoes, roast potatoes, sweet garden peas and baby carrots with a thick gravy sauce but after watching your amazing breakfast dish already my Sunday lunch is a distant memory!! Lol.
Thanks Mark :)
Ryan.
Hey Ryan Darcy, nice job on the Sunday lunch, that sounds delicious too!
i am a VietNamese person and i really like your channel ^.^ Welcome you to VietNam once more time ✌✌👏👏💓
I can't stop watching your videos XD
Highmark and beautiful family.i have been watching your videos most everyday for the past 6-8 months. I unfortunately have a chronic disease taking me quite sooner than planned.i just turned 52.i just wanted to thank you and yours for giving me a calmness and joy to help send me on my way to my next journey.God Bless
hi mark, man that bowl looked so good, so much going on with the dork, noodles, herbs and spring rolls wow. great vid. now im hungry lol :)
Thank you xcessive2008
Great video as usual! Btw how can I get that awesome T-shirt? I want it so badly :(
Great video Mark Wiens Do you use a macro lens for your close-up shots? The focus on your camera is so precise
Kevin Cook Hey Kevin, thank you. No, I'm just using a zoom lens, a Tamron 17-50 mm - I've been pretty happy with its range for video, and also it's quite a cheap lens and good value as well.
Vietnamese spring rolls are definitely the best in the world. My mouth is watering every time I see your videos
I love your facial expression + head tilt after a mouthful.
I agree with you that the Viet spring rolls are the best because they're small and crispy, also because they use rice paper to wrap it instead of normal wrapper using egg
Yes ShadowVyrus, they really are my favorite of anywhere.
thanks again for making GREAT videos! keep it up
I miss going back to Saigon lol. Mark your Viet pronunciation is very good !! I'm glad you're enjoying Vietnamese
Pronunciation was accurate! Yum! Thank you for sharing!

Thats looks sooo freaking good, Nice Mark

Kattie Rivera Address: 195 Cô Giang, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Open hours: 7 am - 10 pm daily
located in District 1 of Saigon, not far from the famous backpacker area of Pham Ngu Lao or from central Ben Thanh Market. I walked from Pham Ngu Lao in about 15 minutes, but you could alternatively take a taxi to get there.
looks soooo good!
Thank you
Mark ,you eat bun cha gio thit nuong like a real Vietnamese ,you put Chili first
and then mixe up the bowl ,you really enjoy Vietnamese food thank you 🌹🌷💖
That food looks beyond divine. I hope I can figure out where to find exceptional food like that when I get to Vietnam. Thank you for the tasty videos.
Thank you swampzoid, I know you'll find lots of good food in the north as well!
Awesome mark! My parents grew up in Vietnam so this dish is so common in our house.
Great to hear that *****, have you come back to Vietnam to visit?
Not yet, but I dont think it will be too long after seeing your videos :) Keep it up mate, looking forward to seeing more!
I am salivating literally!
Hey Mark, great video again! You should let your wife do a review video of a dish. That could be fun!
I second this!!
Yes that good idea...
Thank you *****, I will ask her if she wants to.
i agree, since she has been your partner in shooting the vids...might as well give her some face time...
your Vietnamese pronunciation are 95 percent accurate. Good job!
Awesome video mark
Thank you Jack Shore
It almost seems like the Chinese Shanghai Rolls...It's a common dish in my family though I don't have any Chinese blood. My mom also uses scissors to cut it.hehe I bet the vermicelli noodles tasted awesome with the Vietnamese herbs. Yum!!! ^_^ Great video once again __Mark Wiens__ ^_^
John I love CZcams channel but don't mind me asking how many times u go to restroom in a 24 hrs period cause all the hot sauce, peppers, and meat food u eat
I like those particular expression on your face and head turn :)
oooh yeah, one of the best dishes ever
one of my fav dishes.
hhaha i lol every time he turns his head and smiles whenever he takes his first bites xD
your Vietnamese pronunciation is so cute, Mark ~
OH MY GOODNESS!!! MY FAVORITE!!!
my fav, here in australia i always call "Bun Dac Biet" which is the special version of the dish you are eating which has the pork, springrolls but this also has Nem Nuong & Prawn Cake on sugarcane. A must have to eat.
this is certainly more flavorful and delicious than the everyday oatmeal i've been eating for breakfast. oddly enough i buy this dish for dinner generally...herb-BAY-shuss!
You're here eating all of this amazing food, and I have to settle with instant noodles :(
It awesome the foods here very good fresh healthy foods very nice love this shop very clean place for food and lots of nice healthy foods thanks
Hey Mark, have you ever had a dish that you did not like? I thinks that Vietnamese food is the best because they cook everything fresh and not processed. Love your channel...you always look like you really enjoy your meals....
Hi ***** I like such a range of different food, so there hasn't been much that I really disliked, but I do have many levels of enjoyment. But generally, I'm not a huge fan of food that's overly greasy, or too salty, and really love things that are full of spices.
This is seriously my favorite vietnamese dish. I'll be in Saigon in 2016, and I swear, I'll eat nothing but this for every meal!
TheBabyEinstein great to hear that, you'll have no problems finding it frequently!
Mark Wiens Banh mi, pho, bun thit nuong, goi cuon....just thinking about all the delicious flavors makes my mouth water
