Fantastic - instantly one of my favorite places in Helsinki. Authentic Vietnamese that I didn't think I'd be able to find in Finland. We started with the pork and shrimp spring rolls which were freshly made and great with a homemade peanut dipping sauce. My entree was one of the best pork banh mi sandwiches I've ever had, and honestly one of the biggest too. Al had the pho sai gon, also great: a big bowl of fragrant, flavorful broth along with plenty of beef and noodles. Friendly service, good prices, tucked away off a main street. Will be coming back regularly. read more

Vibami - Bún Thįt Núóng - Vietnamese Near Me - Helsinki, 18

This place is small but cute with good food. I am American and was unsure of what to expect from a Vietnamese place in Finland. The fresh spring rolls were probably the most different item from vietnamese-american food but they were great with the peanut sauce. I ate the vegan pho in the restaurant and took home the curry for the next day. Both dishes were very flavorful and large portions. Other reviews mentioned slow service but the single waitress in the place on a busy friday night held her own. Just as I was getting antsy for my food; my spring rolls and pho arrived. I wish the rolls came first but it was a minor slip in a great dining experience. read more

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" in Helsinki! This is hands down the best Vietnamese I have had in Helsinki. As an Asian American from california, Ive been surrounded with the best viet you can find in the states [orange county, san jose, etc]. This has caused me to be a bit hesitant in trying the best asian restaurants Helsinki has to offer as they tend to disappoint me, but not Vibami. Located in an alley, Vibami offers a decent selection of vietnamese dishes for an affordable price. They have rice plates, vermicelli dishes, banh mi, and more. I ordered the bun thit nuong and my bf had the com tam. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size as well as the taste! My bf and I agreed that our experience was comparable to one of our favorite restaurants in san jose. The service was good and the restaurant itself was cute. I definitely will be coming back to try more of their menu :) It's nice to know i'll have a spot to visit for any cravings I get! read more

Decent pho for Finland. I kind of have a love hate relationship with this spot. I'm from Northern California so we have very good pho. There isn't much better around here than Vibami. The 3 stars is because this place has got to have the slowest service ever. Back home you order and your pho is out in five minutes. I have come here and waited nearly 30 minutes before my order is taken. So now I just order before I sit down. I still waited 30 minutes for my food to show up. No water or anything the entire time. I think I can deal with bad service like waiter being rude. Really tough just waiting forever to even get water. If you come here don't come hungry or you will die. read more

Vibami - Soy spring rolls. - Vietnamese Near Me - Helsinki, 18

See all

I'm from San Francisco but I live in Finland. Don't ask me why. Anyhow, this is the best Pho I've stumbled upon up here in the North so far. The portions are pretty big. The lunch deal is really great, you get free coffee too! I recommend the beef pho. You get some nice lean cuts of beef. Don't expect tendons, meatballs, or any exotic animal cuts like you'd get in the US. read more

I stumbled on this restaurant completely by accident. I was looking for another nearby restaurant when I decided to take the bird in hand. There was just on other couple when I sat down but the place soon filled up. I order the Pho and the shrimp spring rolls and both dishes were very tasty authentic. And the prices are right! Vibami is definitely worth a visit especially if you want some warm Pho on a cold Helsinki day. read more

Great food, really big dishes for a very low price. I had the Pho SAI GON and the Char siu baguette because I thought the soup won't be enough for me and got a massive bowl of soup and an entire baguette. I would highly recommend it to anyone. read more

If you're in the area and want pho, look elsewhere. You may have better luck with the other offerings served here, as the bun was OK. Visited this restaurant for lunch, hoping for a nice bowl of pho to combat the slushy slow and winter weather. Situated in a little courtyard, the location is cozy and small. The bowl of beef pho, however, was extremely disappointing. The broth lacked the depth of flavor that a traditional long simmer would bring out from the ingredients, tasting thin, with a sharply prominent note of cinnamon instead of the well-rounded layers of flavor that a good pho broth should have. In fact, the broth tasted somewhat like the pre-made boullion cubes I've used in the past when I was desperate for pho in Finland. The noodles were unmemorable, as were the beef pieces, and the entire bowl was served with streaks of hoisin sauce on top, as if the cook knew the broth was lacking in flavor and needed to make up for it. The usual accompaniments were only partly there. A smattering of cilantro and scallions were visible, but the bean sprouts that had already been added to the bowl were not fully sprouted and most even had the seed coat and so added the odd flavor note of whole mung beans instead of the juicy crunch of fully sprouted beans. I'd prefer to add my own hoisin if the broth needed it, and add sprouts on my own and control the final texture of the meal, so the way this was served was disappointing. My companion's bun was decent, although, wierdly, incorporated what looked like fried strips of yam. read more

The best Vietnamese in town! Great value for the price, specially during the lunch hours. Fresh food with helpful service, but please prepare to co-operate in English with the staff, as it seems that only few of them speak Finnish. Truly a hidden gem! read more

Went for lunch and ordered the rare beef Pho. Food was excellent but the wait times were very long. Waited almost 45 minutes and drink the fills took longer than usual. Other than that the food was very good and would definitely recommend and would eat there again! read more

Delicious pho soup but unfortunately GF may not be glutenfree in spite of the symbol! My soup came with a meat product containing gluten. The staff should realise that this is a serious matter. Also, it would be great if they made an effort to speak at least a couple of words of Finnish. How difficult is it to say 'hei' and 'kiitos'? read more
