From the past when Vietnam was invaded by the Chinese and became colonial of the American and French, the Vietnamese culinary had a great influence of these culture. Throughout their sometimes difficult history, the Vietnamese people have proven to be clever, resilient, hardworking, family-centric, gracious and joyful.
The food of Vietnam reflects the history, climate and geography of the country as well as the spirit of the populace. The country is situated in Southeast of Asia, giving it a tropical to subtropical climate. Hanoi and its environs are the birthplace of many quintessential Vietnamese dishes, such as pho and bun cha, and the city is often cited as one of the world's great food capitals.

Although vendors often cook in small shop fronts, they serve their wares on the sidewalk, on small plastic tables and chairs that can seem woefully inadequate for overgrown foreigners.
