Where to eat Vietnamese food in Turku: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Vietnamese food in Turku, Southwest Finland, Finland. Turku (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈturku] ( listen); Swedish: Åbo [ˈoːbʊ] ( listen)) is a city on the southwest coast of Finland at the mouth of the Aura River, in the region of Southwest Finland. Turku, as a town, was settled during the 13th century and founded most likely at the end of the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland. It quickly became the most important city in Finland, a status it retained for hundreds of years. After Finland became part of the Russian Empire (1809) and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland was moved to Helsinki (1812), Turku continued to be the most populous city in Finland until the end of the 1840s, and it remains a regional capital and an important business and cultural center.

Quite good vegetarian food, all portions seem to include quite a lot protein (tofu, seitan, beans); in fact more than necessary (in my opinion). There are now four restaurants in Turku or neighboring towns; one in the centre (near the railway station). In fact they are more like stalls, with a few tables and seats, but they will be more tempting during the summer. One portion was 7,50 euros, an ok price.
2. Saigon Corner
Reviewed By MosseTurku
On the third floor in Hansa shopping center there's a Food Garden with several small food stalls or restaurants in a row shearing the tables. Saigon Corner is a newcomer and offers an Asian-Vietnamese buffet. A lot of restaurants in Finland offer buffet options during lunch hours, but Saigon Corner has it the whole day, which makes it a good options for those wanting to eat well on a budget. The buffet wasn't the biggest in town, but was good and had several different dishes. This is by no means a place to have a romantic meal out, but a place to fill your tummy with good basic Vietnamese food.

Tucked into the entrance of Turku's modest central "Forum" shopping block, Pho Ngon is a tiny but clean, welcoming restaurant that offers light yet satisfying Vietnamese cuisine at moderate prices. Not only that, but it's a mecca for vegetarians, with plenty on the menu that's non-meat (still a rarity in Turku dining). Whether you choose a lunch or a la carte, service appears to be speedy even when the few tables provided are occupied. Desserts are also half the price you may pay elsewhere -- and they're good. If you need alcohol in your system, this is not the place to go, but if good Asian food is something you appreciate and don't mind it accompanied by water (free-of-charge) or a soft drink, this is the place to come for it.
