Ming Nham, the brains behind the effortlessly brilliant Eat Vietnam, turned his street food pop-up into a bricks-and-mortar restaurant in 2019, and Stirchley locals will tell you it’s one of the best things to happen to the suburb. Nham, who grew up in Vietnam and arrived in Birmingham as a child, heads up a team of passionate young chefs whose modern takes on traditional Vietnamese dishes gives diners the gift of marmite and peanut butter cauliflower and salt and pepper-crusted tofu. The curries are an absolute must, with both veggie and meat options that hum with coconut, fresh herbs and delicate jasmine rice.

The convivial atmosphere here means sharing is the best practice, so mix and match zesty small plates like tumeric fried fish with fresh herbs and nuoc cham sauce alongside marmite peanut-butter chicken wings.
