Street food stands often offer good food for a bargain price.

Unfortunately, CHOLERA is being increasingly served up with street food in Ha Noi and the Health Department warns incidents are on the increase!

In HCMC the city government has food inspectors who actually sample food stuffs (they don't actually eat the samples but chemically analyse them).

You can tell when a food inspector has visited recently as cooks (in restaurants) wear hats and hair nets and street vendors use gloves.

If a stand is crowded and busy, the chances are the food is OK. The night food market restaurants are very well supervised and rarely does anyone become sick.
