Halal options

Nov 29, 2025

100% Halal Vietnamese Cuisine at Viet80s

Authentic flavours. Halal certified. Zero compromise.

At Viet80s, we believe everyone deserves to experience real Vietnamese food—without having to ask "Is this

halal?" The answer is always yes.

All Our Chicken & Beef Dishes Are Halal

No exceptions. No separate menu. Just authentic Hanoi recipes using halal-certified meat.


We source halal chicken and beef from trusted UK suppliers, then prepare them the traditional Vietnamese

way—marinated in lemongrass, grilled over charcoal, slow-simmered in pho broth, or stir-fried with garlic and

chilli.


Halal certification meets Vietnamese tradition.

What About Pork?

We're transparent: Viet80s serves pork dishes (like traditional cha lua and nem chua) because they're essential

to Vietnamese cuisine. BUT:

Completely separate preparation (dedicated cutting boards, utensils, cooking areas)✓ Clear menu labelling

(every dish states protein type)✓ Staff trained to prevent cross-contamination✓ Ask us anytime - we'll confirm ingredients and preparation methods

Our halal chicken and beef dishes are prepared with full halal standards. No shortcuts.
