Viet Nam Ao Baba — Restaurant in Hiroshima

I’m honestly still thinking about this meal days later. What surprised me the most about this Vietnamese restaurant was that, beyond the incredible Vietnamese dishes, they offered specialty Thai dishes that I’ve never been able to find anywhere else in the U.S. It felt like discovering a hidden gem — not just because of the quality, but because of the uniqueness of the menu.

The flavors were bright, complex, and clearly crafted with care. You could tell they use authentic ingredients and traditional techniques. Every dish felt like it was telling a story from home. The staff were also so kind and clearly passionate about the food, which made the experience even better.

The place fills up really fast. We arrived a little after 1100 and got a table, but it was completely full when we left.

We felt the prices were very reasonable for...

We ordered the pork and prawn papaya salad with prawn crackers, sautéed morning glory and combination pho. Being viet myself, the food is legit authentic. All dishes were deep in flavour and balanced in salty sweet and spicy. The pho broth was more north style, super clean and light. The salad with prawn crackers was the standout for me. The morning glory was sautéed with garlic. The restaurant itself, a very intimate and homely setting adorned with straw hats and trinkets to create a very authentic Vietnamese experience. The portions are more on the smaller side otherwise it...
