Found the absolute tastiest Vietnamese restaurant in Singapore. Incredibly packed with flavour and textures. I had the vegetarian banh mi ($8.9), the vegetarian rice ($8.9), and the vegetarian crepe ($9.9?), and all are vegan friendly. Even the crackers in the rice are incredibly tasty. They also make their own sambal in house (vegan too) 🤯 Highly recommended!

First time trying halal Vietnamese food and I never expect that their food can taste so good. We ordered a few dishes and we finish them all within 30 minutes. I like their drinks which are quite refreshing. Love the good environment of the restaurant and highly recommend.

This little cafe is so pretty with Vietnamese hats on their walls as deco. Tried their lunch set and it was so authentic of Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the classic spicy beef pho soup, and it has this mild spicy, yet flavourful beef broth with lemongrass taste. It comes with a variety of beef parts (beef slices, tendons, brisket and a chunk of chicken meatloaf). The set meal comes with a complimentary side dish of either fried spring roll or fried chicken wings in fish sauce. I chose the fried chicken wings and it’s so crispy on the outside with sweet sauce. The set meal also comes with a drink (Vietnamese coffee, soda, etc), where I picked the Vietnamese coffee with sweetener and milk. All for S$17.49 nett.

The restaurant decoration is very nice, clean and neat. The atmosphere is cozy. When we visited it, there's just a few customers. Maybe because it's raining or something. But the waiting time is quite long, not sure why. The staff is friendly. We ordered 1 beef Pho and 1 spicy beef noodle. The Pho beef is okay, but the Spicy beef noodle doesn't taste like that dish (in my opinion), it's like I ate another dish which I have no idea what it is. I have been eating this dish at other restaurants/ shops but never taste like this. With the price (in the menu) of $17+ for 1 bowl, I think it's not really worth it, quite disappointed. For the condiments, as you can see in the photos, there's not much provided. Other restaurants/ shop there are the sauces, lime, chillies etc Overall it's quite a nice ambience to dine in here for Halal Vietnamese food, just that the price is in a bit higher range and the food itself is controversial

I recently dined at Bistro Eminami and their cozy ambiance & warm decor immediately caught my attention as I stepped inside. I tried out their vegeterian fresh spring rolls and they were a burst of freshness and flavors. Enjoyed the beverages- Vietnamese latte and PHIN dripping coffee as it's a traditional Vietnamese specialty. Enjoyed the service and hospitality the staff provides.

Reserved a table for 8 for lunch on a weekday. Restaurant was packed to the brim with people who all reserved seats as well. All the food ordered was good! Would return here again for Vietnamese food!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at halal Vietnam cuisine on my wedding anniversary with my Wifey in the Kampong Glam area of Singapore, and I must say that the experience was truly delightful. The food served was not only delicious but also gave me a taste of authentic Vietnamese cuisine that took my taste buds on a culinary adventure. The menu offered a wide range of options, showcasing the rich and diverse flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. You will never regret. Worth it! ❤️

Quite potentially the best authentic halal Vietnamese restaurant here because of the Vietnamese chef. The quality of ingredients and the flavours served keep us coming back again and again. In fact, we were so dissatisfied with our halal Vietnamese meals in Ho Chi Minh City that we were over here at Eminami the weekend we came back. Our personal favourites are the banh mi, pho and a very tasty grilled chicken. Excellent service too. The premium you pay over other places is worth it for the quality you're getting.

The food was good. We tried their Dry Noodle, Beef Bahn Mi, and Vietnamese Drip Coffee. The place was nice, the service was good. It was a bit expensive, but may come back again due to the other factors.

Was craving for halal banh mi and this place did not disappoint!! Definitely on the pricier side but honestly worth the splurge once in a while and understandable due to the location. Got the stir fry beef banh mi and it was so simple and refreshing, veggies were fresh and beef easy to cut through. Partner got the Bún Bò Huế and it was definitely a big portion (enough to feed two people with small appetite) add abit of the provided sambal and boom you get an addictive pho, super light and seasoned well. Ambience is nice, lighting is perfect and decor done beautifully. Staff friendly and welcoming as well. Cannot recommend this place enough, will definitely come again!

My first time here and food was excellent! The restaurant deco and atmosphere was very pretty and clean. Love the Vietnamese song played on the background. The owner of the restaurant took our order, lovely lady! I ordered both Classic Pho (Noodles) and Banh Mi (bread). Bun Bo Hue - Spicy Beef Noodle with lemongrass. I must say the soup taste subtle.. it was not spicy it would be nice if there’s a kick of chili or more lemongrass flavor. If u like spicy they have their own homemade chili which can kick a bucket! My friend love it so much she bought the chili paste ( a bottle $7) Banh Mi Pho - Beef cuts and tendons was Super delicious! Beef was flavorful and sweet. The baguette was not tough, right kind of softness. As a side dish must order Lotus Crips. Every bites make it more addictive. Menu spread will make you spoil for choices. I’m definitely coming again to try the other dishes.

J'adore the interior and exterior of this restaurant. must try : cold noodle its sauce is the best. their Pho Bo is superb, all mandatory spices equally emerge in the broth. what makes it more special is that, their provide all necessary condiment at the table so you dont need to ask the patron for any extra.

Dining in at Eminami feels like visiting someone’s home — where they cook you authentic Vietnamese fare. It is a family-owned business who take a lot of pride in what they do and the food was impeccable. I ordered the Banh Mi Pho and my bf ordered the broken rice and both were chef’s kiss. Even their drinks were refreshing. Would definitely recommend people to dine in here. The restaurant is sparkling clean and you will only want to return once more.

16 Dec 2023, my lunch today is my 4th visit to the restaurant as I am doing a course next door. The Grilled chicken spring roll $11.90 tastes great and the Fried Lotus Crisps $5.90 is so good! Do checkout their weekday set lunch. Value for money. 15 Dec 2023 Great serving of food, definitely value for money. The two dishes I ordered taste superb! Fresh Spring Roll with prawns $11.90 and Fried Mushrooms $4.90. Vietnamese Iced Coffee $3.90. Love the food. Iced coffee is strong and sweetness is just right. I finished the coffee before the ice melted. Awesome coffee! Do bring a sweater, it's cold here.

Delicious halal Vietnamese food at affordable prices. This is my first time trying halal Vietnamese food and it was super delicious! Staff was courteous and efficient. Despite many customers they still tried their best to serve the food quickly. We ordered some vietnamese spring rolls and the shrimp omelette to share. The banh mi and pho were also very tasty, I prefer the beef version. Try the signature Hue salted iced coffee, it has like whipped cream on top and the coffee is not too sweet. There is also the traditional drip coffee. Inside the restaurant is decorated with some nice hats and lanterns. I would like to come back again.

Nestled in the vibrant Kampong Glam area, this charming Vietnamese cafe offers a great selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes at a reasonable price, all complemented by its delightful ambiance. Their food and service quality are equally wonderful. Their egg latte tastes amazing as well as noteworthy dishes such as hot stone Pho/ Bun Bo Hue that makes us look forward to our next visit.

I always walk past this shop but never had the opportunity to eat here but yay I was there recently. Had the banh mi and the very first bite reminded me of vietnam! The load is crispy on the outside, yet very soft on the inside. The flavours of the chicken really was delicious and pleasant on my tongue.

Beef stew noodles tasted fantastic! The broth was very tasty accompanied by generous chunks of beef brisket. The spring rolls and coffee were great too. Would recommend taking the set lunch as it is value for money. Ambience there is very cosy and comfortable too. In my opinion, definitely the best halal Vietnamese restaurant in Singapore!

High quality Vietnamese soups—perhaps one of the highest quality restaurants in SE Asia. However, the banh mi ga (chicken sandwich) did not meet expectations. Did not try desserts, but egg coffee was excellent. (February 2024)

Truly one of the best Vietnamese food that I have eaten. The Pho had flavorful soup base and servings are right. Their Bahn Mi had soft toasted buns with good servings and surprising sides. I saw this on Overkill’s Get Fed and it was one of recommendations they have made. You won’t regret coming here. With the increasing popularity of this place, tables are limited, so reserve a table prior to coming for lunch and dinner.

I came here with a friend on 20/2/2024 at around 6:30pm after seeing the high ratings. Very happy to have been able to experience dining here! We ordered quite a lot, with the breakdown of each dish below, thus the exorbitant price per person ($90 total). The pho is definitely one of the best around, with options for a spicy/non-spicy broth. We both bought the spicy version at $15.90 ($1 less for non-spicy), the broth still maintained its flavour while providing a spicy kick. This is very different from some pho places, where chilli is simply added to the broth to make it spicy which may overpower the flavour of the dish. From what was presented to us, we would think that chilli oil was used instead to provide the spicy feeling without ruining the flavour. Definitely a must try! We also ordered the Grilled Chicken Fresh Spring Rolls ($11.90, 6 pcs) along with 2 Banh Mis, the Beef Patty ($11.90) and Stir Fry Beef ($10.90). Both Banh Mis were full of flavour and fresh vegetables, along with the different sauces to complement the meat. Each Banh Mi was also served with 2-3 fried lotus crisps which added an extra something to munch on before moving on to the main sandwich. For the spring rolls, we could tell that there was no scrimping on ingredients, as each spring roll was loaded with grilled chicken and fresh vegetables. Having this as our appetiser made us look forward to the main course even more. An additional side we had was the fried mushrooms ($4.90), which were served with chilli sauce and mayonnaise. Incredibly well-seasoned with a generous portion. Lastly, we ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee (Tall, $4.90) and Hue Salted Iced Coffee ($5.90). While the Vietnamese Iced Coffee had nothing much to say except for up to standard, the Hue Salted Iced Coffee had something we found quite special. The salted coffee was topped with this very sweet foam, which I feel is a rather special treat for those that may not like bitter coffee. The coffee itself is also not that bitter in this drink, and can allow those that want a sweeter taste to give a go at coffee. Out of both drinks, we feel that the regular Vietnamese Iced Coffee would be much more suitable for those that prefer the slight bitterness and sweet aftertaste of Vietnamese coffee, while the Salted Iced Coffee would be much more suitable for those that simply prefer a sweeter but slightly salty version of coffee. Loved the service here, with all the staff being very friendly even during busy hours. Would pay the service charge anytime. :) We also noticed that we only paid for the 10% service charge while the owner absorbed the GST despite the rising costs, which is a very generous thing to do. Despite everything we've mentioned, there's a lot more than just banh mi, pho, and spring rolls that the restaurant offers such as broken rice, Vietnamese crepe, and even an all-day breakfast. Would love to come back and try the other offerings! Overall, we loved the experience here and can't wait to come back here again! Even during the peak hour period, the restaurant is rather cosy and you could probably zone out and forget about the noise within minutes of receiving your food. :)

Ordered their Chicken noodles set lunch but was served the beef one. It was nice. The broth was slightly sweet, squeeze the lime, dump some dried chilli onions into it and let the spicy savoury goodness fill your mouth. The deep fried spring roll was crispy and light. There was also a glass of Iced Jasmin Green Tea in the set lunch. I noticed they use bamboo straws, Very interesting and sustainable. Total bill was $16.40, pretty good value for the location 😊
