This is an old incomplete article. Can you help me add to it? Do you know of any great cheap places to eat? PLease leave some information below in the comments
First of all for anyone who has not visited Vietnam, yes it is possible to eat a meal for less than $1 usd and you can get clean, healthy, filling and very tasty food for such a small price. It is also true that you can get dirty, oily, watery, bland food for less than a dollar, so be careful where you choose to eat and follow some of the advice below for a culinary feast which is good for your stomach and your wallet.
My Quang
My Quang (pronounced “mee wang”) is probably the most popular food amongst Danang locals and for good reason, it is a traditional Danang delicacy, it is cheap and delicious. For those of you who are not into traditional Vietnamese soup dishes such as Pho or Bun, My Quang is a little different and certainly my favorite Vietnamese Noodle Soup. A bowl of My Quang served Banh Trang and lettuce to mix will cost between 15,000 and 20,000VND.

Banh Xeo
Banh Xeo (pronounced “ban sayo”) is called Vietnamese pancake but doesn’t resemble a western pancake in any way. Small Danang style Banh Xeo looks more like fried tacos than pancakes. It is made from rice flour, bean sprouts, pork and shrimp then rolled with rice paper, lettuce and cucumber. When dipped with the accompanying peanut sauce it is delicious, a plate of six costs about 20,000VND.

Xoi Ga
Xoi Ga (pronounced “soy gah”) is a versatile Vietnamese dish that makes a great snack at anytime of the day, personally I need two servings to fill me up. Fortunately Xoi Ga is cheap, usually about 10,000 VND per serving.
