Viet Shack

Viet Shack serves traditional Vietnamese dishes modernised for the street food fanatic. It’s not often that you’ll find a healthy street food option, but Viet Shack’s health conscious menu promotes “clean eating” while not scrimping on the flavour and always providing generous portions. There is no processed food here either - the staff only use fresh ingredients when making their dishes. With more and more food establishments popping up in this area of the Arndale Market, it can be hard to stand out, but it’s clear that Viet Shack’s food can’t be faulted, with queues often forming at this place, especially during the lunch time rush. The Shack often sees their food selling out throughout the day, so make sure you get there before everyone else to grab your favourite dish. They’re practically a steal too, with most items priced around £3. A popular dish on their menu is the banh-mi - a Vietnamese baguette stuffed with fresh veg, bbq meat and sauce. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options too, and they have more recently opened a second shack in Fallowfield.

Viet Shack was named one of the best places on-the-go in the North West in The Skinny Food and Drink Survey 2015. Check out the other winners as voted for by The Skinny readers and take a look at our feature about all of the best places on-the-go.
