Phu Quoc Street Food Guide
Be sure to try some of the amazing street food on offer. One has a dizzying choice of small, quaint little eateries serving traditional soup, sugar can juice, and of course, banh mi (baguette filled with meats and salad). Banh mi opla (fried egg in baguette) is a particular favorite among the budget conscious travelers to the island as banh mi sandwiches only cost around 20,000–35,000 VND at neighborhood stalls (2026). Most of these small eateries can be found throughout the island, especially in Duong Dong Town and An Thoi Town.
Authentic Vietnamese street food venues are mobile “pop-up” style restaurants that do not have a fixed address as they do not lease the land that they are using to sell food. They normally sell BBQ or fried snacks like BBQ pork wrapped around lemongrass sticks or egg and baguette sandwiches. The prices for these items are usually very low. Phu Quoc has a lot of street food vendors and they are found in all corners of the island.
Below are the local favourites we keep going back to, almost all in Duong Dong town. For the restaurants with a fixed address we checked on Google Maps in October 2026 that they are still open and updated the addresses. Street stalls move, so if a cart is not where we say, ask around — the dish will be nearby.
