Street food Cha Gio — the authentic version

The best Cha Gio I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The fresh with citrus and mint intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. fish sauce was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

fresh herbs added at the table are a defining characteristic. The a street banh mi counter setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. Vietnamese iced coffee was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
