Vietnamese Street Kitchen
Birmingham
At a glance
Vietnamese Street Kitchen is a Vietnamese restaurant on St Martin's Square, opposite Selfridges in the Bullring. The location places it close to the main shopping area, with Moor Street station a short walk away and Birmingham New Street and Grand Central also within walking distance.
The menu centres on Vietnamese comfort food, including pho, bao and dishes designed for sharing. Pho is a particular focus, made with a broth that simmers for an extended period to develop a deep, savoury base. The menu also includes vegetarian and vegan choices, along with halal and gluten-free options, making the restaurant suitable for mixed dietary requirements.
The street-kitchen style gives the restaurant an informal, sociable character. Shared plates can suit a relaxed meal with friends or family, while the central setting works well for shoppers, city-centre diners and visitors heading to nearby entertainment venues. The Birmingham Hippodrome is around seven minutes away on foot, making the restaurant a practical option before a show.
Dining is available throughout the afternoon, supporting an early lunch, a break during a shopping trip or a pre-theatre meal. Walk-ins are welcome, although booking ahead is sensible for busy weekend evenings. Larger parties can be accommodated through a group enquiry, with online bookings covering tables of up to 16.
Access is step-free from St Martin's Square, and an accessible toilet is available inside. The restaurant can arrange wheelchair space at a table when this is requested in advance. Its position beside the Bullring also makes it easy to combine with a visit to St Martin's markets, Chinatown, the Arcadian or other nearby city-centre attractions.
