Tucked a three-minute stroll from Aljunied MRT, Vietsea Centralised Kitchen – Vua Lẩu Đồng Quê at 136 Sims Avenue brings the electrifying street-food spirit of Ho Chi Minh City straight to Singapore’s Geylang district 🇸🇬🍜. Open daily from 11:30 a.m. till 3:30 a.m., the dual-shift kitchen never sleeps, churning out crackling baguettes, bubbling hot-pots (lẩu) and pho bowls big enough to share. Because the venue also functions as a central commissary, every broth, sauce and marinade is slow-crafted in bulk each dawn, guaranteeing consistent depth of flavour whether you dine in or order delivery. Add neon Viet beer signs, K-pop on low volume and free Wi-Fi, and you have a hang-out that lures office crowds by day and supper hunters by night.

Reviews
⭐ “The pork-chop fried rice was 11/10—juicy, smoky, portion huge! I’d trek across town for it again.” – Cheryl, July 2025
⭐ “Warm mango salad, spring rolls, egg coffee… every dish hit the mark. Service lightning fast and genuinely cheerful.” – Kevin, May 2025
⭐ “Strip-loin steak shocked me—super tender with that lemongrass kick you only get in Vietnam. Pair it with their lemongrass iced tea to cut the richness.” – Hazim, March 2025
➖ “Pho broth rich but sliced beef a tad chewy; still solid value at this size. Floors were slippery during rain—watch your step.” – Mei, February 2025
➖ “Told them no coriander, yet a forest showed up; found stray plastic shard in stew. Team comped dessert but QC should improve.” – Raj, January 2025
