Hotel recommendations in Luang Prabang Support exciting travel by booking hotels here Nem Nuong is widely known to have originated from Vietnam. The best Nem Nuong in Thailand is found in Udon Thani province, and just north of Udon Thani is Nong Khai, which is conveniently close to Vientiane. It's no surprise why delicious Nem Nuong is found in that area. Laos is a country between Thailand and Vietnam, marking the long journey of this dish across time and distance.

The original Vietnamese Nem Nuong has changed quite a bit by the time it reached Thailand. Today, I have the chance to visit Luang Prabang and take this opportunity to explore the origins of Nem Nuong. Luang Prabang offers many dining options, but the places locals actually eat at, excluding tourists, are not many. The local eateries are usually more affordable. I found out there is a delicious Nem Nuong restaurant opposite the Carl Tech gas station.

Near Vichun Temple (see map below). It's a great chance for Hotsia.com to guide you to eat and travel freely with good quality, affordable food. Vichun restaurant is our chosen destination. The sign in Lao language on the Vichun Nem Nuong restaurant omits the letter 'H', but in Thailand, it includes it. Language variations happen (some words like 'cat' are consistent across Thai, Lao, and Vietnamese).

Vichun Nem Nuong comes with Thai-style side dishes, but with the addition of fried spring rolls. Other accompaniments include raw banana, garlic, bird's eye chili, fried or steamed pork meatballs, and rice vermicelli. The taste of Vichun Nem Nuong is delicious and similar to Thai style. The dipping sauce and eating method—wrapping in thin rice paper—are the same. A plate of sliced pork complements the Nem Nuong perfectly. Speaking of Lao Nem Nuong, it closely resembles Vietnamese dishes similar to Nem Nuong.

I'm not sure if it is the ancestor of our Nem Nuong. I tried a famous restaurant in Hanoi; the dish looks similar to Nem Nuong with a similar dipping sauce, fresh vegetables, rice vermicelli, and pork meatballs. However, in Vietnam, the pork is fried and then boiled with a sweet seasoning. They don't wrap it in thin rice paper like in Thailand and Laos. I recorded a video for comparison of Nem Nuong from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam (if it is indeed the same dish).

Back to Vichun restaurant, I think the deliciousness comes from the well-seasoned pork. Wrapped in rice paper with dipping sauce, it tastes even better. The fried spring rolls here are a bit hard, possibly left over from earlier frying. But the standard Nem Nuong set is delicious with fresh pork, fresh rice vermicelli, and a perfectly balanced sweet and sour Thai-style dipping sauce. Besides Nem Nuong, the restaurant also serves noodles and other dishes, but Nem Nuong is their specialty.

I highly recommend that if you come to Luang Prabang, try the local Nem Nuong and taste their home-style food. Also, when you continue to Vietnam, you can try the original source to see if it tastes better than ours. For me, Thai Nem Nuong is the most flavorful with sour, sweet, rich, and salty notes. Vietnamese Nem Nuong is sweeter and easier to eat without wrapping, just chopsticks. Lao Nem Nuong is more balanced. In conclusion, my taste buds enjoy all three countries' versions! Haha.

In Luang Prabang around May, the weather is quite hot. If you plan to visit, it's better to come during our winter to be sure of the weather. Now that I'm full, I'll walk to find a nice cold coffee shop to escape the heat. I've already picked 'Joma' at the alley near my accommodation. Follow me to cool down together...

The restaurant is an old wooden house at the corner near Vichun Temple, Luang Prabang. The older the restaurant, the more refined the skill. This Nem Nuong is very delicious. The pork meatballs served with Vichun Nem Nuong are excellent, one bite-sized piece each, truly tasty and definitely not hard.

This is how it should be to be perfectly delicious. Traditional rice vermicelli must be wrapped in leaves for the best aroma and taste. Exchange money at the bank before eating at Vichun restaurant.

Be careful when adding condiments at noodle shops; a mistake can ruin the whole bowl. From another angle, you can see Vichun Temple in the distance.
