holy crap this is so damn good, why dont we have this back home

ive been going here so many times, and its always different food and so good, and its like standard vietnamese prices and not just a rich-people/white-people place. and such a nice communal sort of vibe as well

like imagine if this is what most people thought of when they think of vegan food, not just some sad bit of boiled broccoli or plain lettuce or whatever

    Are you Vietnamese/fluent in the language? If not how easy is it to navigate Vietnam as an English speaking foreigner. I'd like to visit but I'm not sure I have the ability to learn the language beforehand.

      nope not at all and holy shit its a hard language, but my partner is vietnamese so she has been handling a lot of the complex stuff. i feel like it could be tricky and overwhelming and a bit exhausting as a solo traveler if you dont speak the language and youre not the devil-may-care outgoing traveler type, and you definitely cant rely on everyone speaking english everywhere. i get the vibe that the younger solo travelers mostly try and link up with other foreigners and travel around in groups to make things easier
