Kanu – Vietnamese
Vietnamese street food in Florentin, built around rolls: fresh ones packed tight with herbs and crunch, from a kitchen that treats the wrapper as seriously as the filling. Bao buns, pho and an umami salad round out a short, focused card, with plenty on it a vegan can order without negotiation. It is a small, quick, counter-paced place rather than a sit-down evening out. Diners keep coming back for how fresh the fillings taste and how far the portions go for the money. Herzl Street's best argument for eating with your hands.
