Editor’s Note
Last updated 29 May 2026
We think Bac Viet stands out for its authentic Northern Vietnamese cuisine, a harder-to-find style in Singapore.
The menu is focused, which we see as a positive, allowing them to excel in dishes like the Hai Phong Banh Da Cua (Red Rice Noodles with Crab Soup), which is consistently praised for its savoury broth and generous ingredients.
The Bun Cha is another highlight, with many noting its authentic flavour profile, even if the air-fried meat lacks the traditional smoky char.
We appreciate the option for less sweet Vietnamese coffee.
While the food is generally well-received for its authenticity, some feedback suggests that portion sizes could be more generous, and the iced lemon tea can be overly sweet.
The absence of a dedicated dipping sauce saucer is a minor operational point.
Given its popularity, especially on weekends, we'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours for a more relaxed dining experience.
It's a solid choice for those craving genuine Northern Vietnamese flavours.

What customers say
Bac Viet is highly praised for its authentic Northern Vietnamese cuisine, with many customers, including those from Hanoi, considering it the best in Singapore.
Signature dishes like the Hai Phong Banh Da Cua (crab noodles) and Bun Cha receive consistent acclaim for their flavour and authenticity, though some note the Bun Cha lacks a smoky charcoal taste.
While portions are generally good, some suggest more generous sizing and a wider menu variety, including Banh Mi, could enhance the experience.
The atmosphere is described as cozy and the staff are polite, contributing to a positive dining experience despite occasional sweetness issues with beverages and potential queues during peak hours.
