Pho Tom: Creamy Herb Noodles with Marinated Prawns

A lush coconut sauce wraps fresh noodles, bright herbs, crisp vegetables, and perfectly marinated prawns for a bowl that feels both comforting and refined. It is our house answer for guests who want Vietnamese noodles with something playful, creamy, and unmistakably Vina.
A unique mix of cultures. That is Vina’s Noodles.
Phở Bò: Vietnam’s Signature Beef Noodle Soup
Phở Bò is one of the most famous dishes in Vietnamese cuisine and a reason many guests look for a pho restaurant in Leiden. This beef noodle soup has a flavorful broth made with star anise, cinnamon, and slow cooked beef bones, giving it a rich and comforting taste. We serve it with soft rice noodles and tender slices of beef, then add fresh herbs, lime, and chili on top for balance. You can enjoy Phở Bò for lunch or dinner.
Phở Chay: Vietnam’s Signature Vegetarian Noodle Soup
Phở Chay is a light, aromatic, and deeply comforting vegetarian pho. Instead of beef bones, the broth is crafted from simmered vegetables, mushrooms, and fragrant spices like star anise and ginger, creating a clean yet satisfying flavor. We serve it with silky rice noodles, tofu, and a colorful mix of fresh vegetables. Finished with herbs, lime, and chili, Phở Chay is a nourishing choice for anyone looking for vegetarian Vietnamese food or a plant based twist on classic pho.
Bánh Mì: Vietnam’s Iconic Sandwich
Bánh mì is a famous Vietnamese sandwich that comes from the mix of French baguettes and local flavors. It has a crispy outside and soft inside, filled with pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and tasty meats. It is a bright choice for lunch in Leiden when you want something quick, fresh, and full of bold flavor.

It brings a deeper side of Vietnamese cuisine to the menu, especially if you want dinner beyond noodle soup or street food classics.
