No city quite compares to Birmingham when it comes to the number of different cuisines that are on offer in the city, so it should come as no surprise that there are an abundance of Thai and Vietnamese places that locals can select from in order to get their fix of the desired delicacy. The cuisine has always been amongst the most popular in the second city, which often means that it is hard to find the restaurant that you should visit if you want a meal. However, these are the best three places to eat for those looking for Vietnamese or Thai food.
Pho
One of the most popular places for those looking for some Vietnamese food is Pho. The restaurant has been a mainstay in the second city since opening its doors for the first time in 2005. In the 15 years that it has been open, it has continuously maintained the trust of visitors as they desire a tasty meal while in the city.
The restaurant prides itself on cooking from the freshest ingredients to ensure that all visitors have the healthiest possible Vietnamese street food.
