Keto friendliness

Vietnamese cuisine offers naturally keto-friendly components but requires careful navigation and modifications to avoid ubiquitous carb-heavy staples.

Top ingredients

Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various grilled or stewed meats (pork, beef, chicken), seafood, eggs, abundant fresh herbs (basil, mint, cilantro), leafy greens, bean sprouts, and healthy fats from oils or fatty cuts of meat.

Danger zones

Beware of all forms of rice (steamed, broken, sticky), rice noodles (pho, bun), vermicelli, banh mi, sweetened dipping sauces (nuoc cham), sugar in marinades, and fried spring rolls made with rice paper or wrappers.

Best for

This cuisine works best for adaptable keto dieters who enjoy high protein, fresh herbs, and are comfortable with requesting modifications or making careful menu selections.

What to drink

Drinks you will see at Vietnamese restaurants, cafés and stalls, rated the same way as the food.
