Where to Find Vietnamese Cold Noodles in Beijing ? +PINK Beijing: A Refreshing Saigon-Style Treat

🌿 A Taste of Vietnam in the Heart of Beijing

When the Beijing summer heat hits, there’s nothing quite like a dish that’s light, refreshing, and full of life. If you’ve already tried Chinese shredded chicken cold noodles or Korean naengmyeon, it’s time to meet their Vietnamese cousin, bún thịt nướng, or grilled pork with rice vermicelli.

The name says it all: bún means rice noodles, thịt means meat, and nướng means grilled — and together, they create one of Vietnam’s most beloved comfort foods.

🇻🇳 From Saigon Streets to Beijing’s Dining Scene

The founder of +PINK, who also created the well-known Saigon Mama brand, is Vietnamese himself — and it shows. His recipes bring a true Saigon street-food vibe to Beijing, blending authenticity and flair in every bowl.

If you’re searching for real Vietnamese flavors that capture the balance of sweet, savory, and refreshing, +PINK is where your taste buds should go.

The founder, who’s also the creator of Saigon Mama, is Vietnamese himself, so authenticity is baked right into the recipe. No wonder it tastes like a genuine Saigon street food experience.

What’s on the Menu?

🍜 The Star of the Show: Charcoal BBQ Pork Vermicelli Bowl

Once your bowl arrives, place the fish sauce on top of the noodles and give it a good toss. The magic happens instantly, smoky grilled pork meets crisp pickled veggies, fresh herbs, and soft rice vermicelli.

Their Charcoal BBQ Pork Vermicelli Bowl (RMB 68) is a burst of color and flavor: mint and perilla leaves for fragrance, tangy pickles for crunch, and pork grilled over charcoal until it’s juicy and perfectly caramelized.

If you prefer something different, the Charcoal Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Bowl (RMB 68) and Mango Avocado Vermicelli Bowl (RMB 58) are equally delightful , lighter but just as satisfying.

🥢 Don’t Miss the Crispy Spring Rolls

For the perfect side dish, order the Chả Giò (Vietnamese Spring Rolls, RMB 48). They come golden-brown and incredibly crispy, filled with a savory mix that pairs perfectly with your noodles.

Each bite adds the ideal crunch to balance the softness of the vermicelli, simple but addictive.

🥗 More Than Noodles: Refreshing Salads You’ll Love

No Vietnamese meal feels complete without a salad on the side, and +PINK delivers beautifully.

Try the Shredded Chicken Papaya Salad (RMB 58) if you’re in the mood for something classic, or go for the Pomelo Shrimp Salad (RMB 68), the crowd favorite.

It’s loaded with plump shrimp, tiny dried shrimp for a satisfying crunch, and juicy pomelo pieces that burst with sweet-tart flavor. Each bite is light, tangy, and perfect for cooling down between spoonfuls of noodles.

🥥 Wash It Down with a Cool Drink

+PINK also shines when it comes to drinks. You’ll find plenty of refreshing choices like:

• Smash Lime Coconut Milk (RMB 35)
• Vietnamese Lime Soda (RMB 35)
• Fresh Fruit Smoothies (RMB 42)
• Classic Drip Coffee (RMB 35)

We went for their Dragonfruit Piña Colada (RMB 38), non-alcoholic, vibrant, and the ideal tropical escape on a humid Beijing afternoon.

+PINK, an extension from Saigon Mama brand, brings a fun and modern take on Vietnamese food to the city. The restaurant pops with neon pink vibes and a lively, casual atmosphere, making it a great hangout spot inside the mall.

While most people come for the pho, +PINK goes way beyond the usual. The Beef Rib Curry is the real star rich, creamy, a little spicy, and full of nutty flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Their pho is still a must-try, with a flavorful beef bone broth, and the bun cha offers a tasty balance of smoky, sweet, and savory.

Overall, +PINK delivers authentic Vietnamese flavors with a fresh, modern twist, perfect for when you want something flavorful, vibrant, and worth every bite.

💡 Pro Tip for Takeout

If you’re ordering +PINK for delivery, resist the urge to pour the fish sauce before you get home. Let the noodles stay dry until you’re ready to eat, that’s the secret to keeping them springy and fresh.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Vietnamese food or simply want something light yet flavorful, +PINK’s Vermicelli Bowls hit all the right notes. Authentic, refreshing, and full of color, it’s a little taste of Saigon right here in Beijing.
