No Reservations - Vietnam

[applepielicious]

drooling.......

[TheDeehoang]

aren't they hot wearing that?! i've been to vietnam during both winter and summer and it is never cold unless you're in Da Lat, that was surprisingly really cold.

[colakei]

@TheDeehoang in the winter, the capital is about 9-10 celcius degree

[BladeHunterXD]

Yay it's ok to slurp :)

[DeeDonner]

Tony, I usually agree with you 100%, but on Vietnam, we disagree. I couldn't wait to leave the place: polluted, rat infested, profane noise levels, not a pleasant place. Laos, on the other hand, was a dream - mellow, serene, untouched. Skip Vietnam, head straight to Laos.

[LGPhibi]

Correction: First: Buddhist monks playing KungFu is not one of Vietnam's characters (That represents China's Culture instead).Second:Loud sipping of noodles is unacceptable in Vietnam but in Japan......Don't mistake our culture for another's.Thanks

[nazbites]

Now I want a pastrami sandwich -_-

[thaolinh362]

What??/ I think this is Bún Thịt Nướng in Saigon, they called it Bún Chả in Hà NỘi :))

[GDQT]

@thaolinh362 Bún Thịt Nướng in the South and Bún Chả in the North are totally different. I doubt that you never ate Bún Chả in your life. I'm Vietnamese btw

[howtoplanaparty]

An atheist is somebody, who admits that they have no experience, nor knowledge of God. Thus they are unqualified to discuss the topic.

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

@howtoplanaparty

Your statement is a logical fallacy.

[limpidd]

wow bun cha looks good, now i'm hungry lol.

[TobiCollab]

im from vietnam.. thanks for sharing

[wardog206]

damn white thrash got some big knockers

[fancullo]

yep, this is really viet food, if people go to vietnam, fancy restaurant tastes bad, but these places like this, the best! 

[gnawaserge]

i really like this episode. especially when he goes with those mountain people and they bust out the bamboo sticks. and start paying that sick beat! the first time i saw it i was like .. hmm no wonder asians like hip hop.

[itsmister2u]

[fasteddy60]

[thisisnotyours1]

Anthony you're a brave man riding like that. Your big fan.

[thisisnotyours1]

Anthony you're a brave man riding like that.

[pcvietnameseboi]

traffic in vietnam are very dangerous, when you walk ,you walk slow and the bikers and cars will move from you, are try to anyway. freaking scary! the bikers are the ones to pray for people in cars are most safe.

[xxJess147xx]

ha, he just ran a red light like nothing!

[TKNMT]

@xxJess147xx the fuction of red light and crossing in Vn are just made the street is more beautiful. If u see the crossing in VN please STOP and give way for the cars or motobikes, otherwise you die =)

[thesearemywaffles]

All he ever does in this show is eat food.

[Shineymcshine79]

@thesearemywaffles That's the friggen point. >.>

[chaole1000]

It's illegal not to wear a helmet now since many die due to traffic accidents.

[Athrunwong]

God damn i'm gonna die in vietnam traffic......

how do they cross the roads?

[chankom]

@Athrunwong

1.watch all directions, check if there's any vehicles approach from the back,both sides.

2.slowly step off the pavement.Raise your hand towards approaching vehicles.Be careful at crossroads bc motorcycles can turn right with red light.

3.CALMLY(lols) slowly move towards.let bikers know you speed. NEVER BACK DOWN.

4.when approaching 4-wheel-vehicle lane,estimate the gap and speed before crossing it.don't take risk.be patient.

Look for a crossroad. only cross the road if u have to

[mgswhore]

@Athrunwong Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­aha

[helena22033]

[aphroboy]

one of my fav shows on discovery travel and living

[stebopign]

I just saw this episode the other night. Lmaoz at the People's Commision Official. hahah..

the Sang guy at the end scares me, though. :(

Bourdain got brought to a tourist trap. OH HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY it must've been for him.

[impalabeeper]

is vietnam still communist?

[Ttran778]

Very.

[vietdude7]

like asking if we're still democratic

[ivywen]

Yeah, my home country ;) LOL

[MarijuanaGood4U]

one of my favorite episodes. like the guy drunk vietnamese guy who looks pissed off haha

[de1dezire]

best show ever!!! he's sarcastic and hilarious!

[NafeesLACC]

one of the best episodes.

[mrbanhmi]

All i'm gonna say is DU MA how can u not love Vietnam, especially if you're a guy!

[dopeyness]

how can you.. it's filled with banshee's and manshee's that sucks your soul away.. along with your bank account/trust fund/life.

Only to end up cheating on you.

[lucirz]

damn he got a helicopter and everything lol pimping!

[gore1sm]

give me some bun and some cha anyday baby

=)

[gore1sm]

hehe cool!

Viet-Fucking-Nam! (forrestgump) xD

[manelli79]

Bun Cha is good! North Vietnamese cooking has its own identity

[N0zix420]

that would be sick if they really sent that guy a sandwhich from new york

[kisskristyn]

bun cha looks sooooooo good!

[gore1sm]

haha that kid is looking at tony like wtf

8:20

[lucirz]

lol i saw that lol

[MoonLightJellyFish]

Vietnam is very near to me, :).

I like Vietnam dishes, :D

[NafeesLACC]

this was a really cool beginning to the episode, well done.

[stopkris]

he has the best life, traveling to other countries and stuff

[gore1sm]

yeah the dream job. lucky guy

[griffinhearts]

I would love to see Anthony Bourdain or Gordon Ramsay as a challenger on Iron Chef America

[tsimanga]

Putting Gordan Ramsay and Tony Bourdain in the same sentance as chefs is absurd. I love Tony, but he's no chef Ramsay in the kitchen.

[gore1sm]

You are right , Bourdain doesn't swear nearly half as much.

[KoreanSmexii]

i wanna go 2 Vietnam after this lol

[chrism07924]

What, the blatantly obvious reference to Pulp Fiction? That line?

[chrism07924]

I don't dig on swine.

[TehLilAzn47]

hanoi sux saigon ftw!

[Stapler78]

nooooooooooo Hanoi's buncha beats out almost anything that saigon could produce! Saigon food tends to be a bit sweetish, almost, dare i say it...Thai-ish.

[walk0nwalls]

Eh, every time he's in a communist country he's always being lead around on a string by some overpaid corrupt official.

But whatever, I still liked it. Viet pride!

[nguyenthanh8]

i love driving in vietnam. and for those who said Asian's can't drive, will fuck you, try to ride a car in vietnam lol.

[KaoruFuma]

doesnt everybody get mad and beep at cars lol i know every rides scooters and motorcycles there

[nguyenthanh8]

hahah they actually don't get mad kaorufuma. they are actually informing others to watch out. if not they will get run over hahah, vietnam is crazy when it comes to driving. but that's why it is so fun.

[wesg77]

i learnt to ride i moterbike on the streets of saigon that month around vietnam was the best ever

[nguyenthanh8]

yes, wesg77 it's intense and fun hahaha.

[wesg77]

although i did get slightly hit at the back of a bike by a 4WD at a roundabout on phu quoc which was a little nerve shattering more so tho for the canadian chick from the bungalow next door who was on the back at the time . oh i wish i could afford the flights to go back for another month.

[nguyenthanh8]

lol. but man what scares me the most are not the 4WD, it's the trucks and the Buses, it gotten worse man, i was back there in july. and it's just crazy. but hopefully in the next 3-4 years you can comeback, Saigon is such a beautiful place now. i've heard they are making a trade center building soon.

[heidisworld]

Does someone knows the music at 3:03?

[Kimn1]

ViET PRiDE ALL DAY..EVERY DAY

[AverageCamino]

Because of this video, I went and had Bun Cha today. It is every damn bit as delicious as it looks and then some. Mine had lettuce and mint for the greens, and that grilled pork is insanely addictiing. Damn you Bourdain!

[ViEtStA4o8]

viet pride bitches ~vP~

[ste43]

word

[FC3Ssavanna]

<3 anthony bourdain

[fragrantmia]

Yumm... I've got to try BunCha with my

Vietnamese friend. I just love how Vietnamese eat raw vegitables and herbs in their soups. It adds refreshing taste!

[superchristii]

This guy rocks. I love his relentless self-degradation and raunchiness in general :D

[cuisinier1nicolas]

hahaha, not at all..but i'm pretty sure u r

[goodfella21f]

Dude, this guy's show rocks!! and he's got this laid back personality about him that seems so freakin rare, like a unique laid back style.

[Valholm]

his "laid back personality" is a result of his heroin addiction..

[rorrofunkamedic]

niiiiiceeee dudee..

[FC3Ssavanna]

lol he has been on a detox program for like 7 years,heroin free,

[alexanderdag8]

nice!

[Keahaulanismith]

Okay Two things This man has my dream Job to Trave and eat delicious excotic food all day. I would love to become a chef and Travel like he does some day. Second Posting that you do drugs is kind of burnt FYI ;)

[sexydecayed69]

Lol wild and reckless ride.

Lol nice concept that slurping means You are enjoying the food and it ddi look like great food,simple but delicious.

[mysticshame]

Hay.., Bourdain I would love to travel and take part in your trips man you have the ultimate job. This is the only reality show I care to look at besides zimmerman. I love Asia and I'm African-American (Moor).

[terrancognito]

are you kidding? I think he's SO attractive.  I would love to travel with him, he would be such a great time.

[sexydecayed69]

I agree,I think He is sexy and would be soo much fun to travel with and especialy since He has such a great sarcasm about him.

[raluka3]

this old man sucks!

[robertzepher]

I was on mushrooms the first time I saw this episode. I fell absolutely in love w/ Vietnam. I saw a repeat later on and it was just as good if not better. Your best episode ever! Ever!! Thank you Mr. Bourdain.
