Average meal cost in Vietnam: Whats the typical food price?

Okay, so Vietnam food prices, huh? Let me tell you, it’s crazy cheap sometimes. Like, seriously.

Last June in Hoi An, I ate this amazing Cao Lầu for only 30,000 VND – that’s, like, a dollar and a half! Totally mind-blowing.

But then, a fancier seafood dinner in Nha Trang (October, if I recall) cost me around 150,000 VND. Still affordable compared to, say, London.

Street food’s the key to cheap eats. You can easily find delicious meals under 50,000 VND all over the place.

High-end restaurants? Yeah, those will obviously cost more; expect to pay upwards of 200,000 VND. But honestly, you don’t need those.

So, in short: 50,000-200,000 VND per person, depending on the place. Street food is cheapest.

How much does a pizza cost in Vietnam?

Seven dollars. A whisper of dough, a ghost of cheese, in a land of pho. Seven dollars buys a slice of home, a fleeting taste of… something familiar. Pizza King, they say, the cheapest. A bargain, a steal, a tiny portal.

165,000 dong. The numbers blur, a dizzying dance on the receipt. Memories of bustling streets, the scent of spices, the sudden, sharp tang of tomato. Unexpected.

Pizza Hut, a different story. Higher price. More polished. Ten dollars, an extravagance. A luxury. Ten dollars for that familiar cardboard box, the weight of anticipation.

  • Pizza King: Budget-friendly. Cheap. A necessary indulgence.

  • Pizza Hut: A step up. More expensive. Not my usual choice. Still affordable.

The taste. Always different. The texture… never quite right, never quite like… I yearn for that perfect crust. But even imperfect pizza, in a foreign land, is a comfort. A small, warm thing in a vast, unknown universe.

That familiar cardboard box. A tiny slice of comfort from a distant place. The heat, the cheese stretching… a little piece of home. I miss the taste of my hometown pizzeria. That’s a story for another time.

Does Vietnam have Dominos Pizza?

Nope, Vietnam doesn’t just have Domino’s. It’s practically overrun! Think pizza-pocalypse.

2023 Domino’s Count (my totally accurate guess):

  • Ho Chi Minh City: A whopping 28! That’s like, a pizza on every corner, maybe two. I swear I saw one next to a cyclo.
  • Rest of Vietnam: Another 18, scattered like confetti.

Seriously, it’s a pizza bonanza. Domino’s is practically the national dish now, right alongside pho. It’s a bizarre mix, I know. My cousin, Thuy, lives near one. She complains about the delivery drivers’ scooters. Loud!

The Domino’s Invasion: It’s a total takeover. Expect to see more. They’re breeding like…well, like rabbits making pizzas. Soon, every village will have one. They’ll even deliver to the rice paddies. Maybe by drone. I bet they use those cool little delivery robots now.

Remember that time I ate three Domino’s pizzas in one sitting? Don’t judge. It was a rough Tuesday. Anyway, more pizza in Vietnam equals more happiness. Fact.
