Vietnam meal cost: Whats the average price of food in Vietnam?

Okay, so Vietnam food prices… tricky! In Hoi An, last March, a delicious bowl of cao lầu (those amazing noodles) cost me about 40,000 VND – that's like, two bucks. Bargain!

Street food's the cheapest. Think 10,000-30,000 VND for amazing pho or bun cha. Seriously, incredible value.

Fancier restaurants? Yeah, those are more. A nice seafood dinner in Nha Trang (July, remember that trip?) easily hit 150,000 VND. Maybe more depending on drinks.

So, averaging it out, a meal's anywhere from $0.50 to $6 depending where you eat and what you order. But honestly, you can eat really well for way less than $6 most days. The street food is amazing.
