Nhật Quang House 2

Bánh Xèo 76 has a charcoal grill at the entrance for grilling pork. The menu includes classic Vietnamese dishes such as pancakes, corn rolls and noodles with grilled pork. Made from fresh corn and bursting with flavour, the homemade corn rolls are encased in a thin, crispy golden skin.

This stall sells all things duck. Duck porridge is made with rice and mung beans in a duck broth. Poached duck boasts firm, flavourful meat. When tossed with green mango, green banana, fig and herbs, it makes a refreshing salad.

People flock here for its famous duck porridge. A local duck breed from Cẩm Nam Island, rice, mung beans and coix seeds are slowly simmered in duck broth for a creamy, hearty meal. Poached duck and duck salad are also available.

Following its relocation, the restaurant now occupies three floors, offering a more spacious and comfortable setting. The exotic Indian-inspired design adds character, while the kitchen remains true to authentic traditional flavours. An experienced Indian chef helms the kitchen and his extensive menu features iconic dishes from the north to the south of his homeland. Kick off your meal with a refreshing papadam dipped in mint chutney. Then try the saag ghosh, a lamb and spinach curry from Northern India, even better with garlic naan to mop up the creamy sauce.

Phố nam is a must-try with noodles in a clear beef bone broth loaded with flavours. Order the thập cẩm version to try all beef cuts. Bánh xèo miền tây is another popular choice with crispy pancakes and a generous filling. Cheerful, friendly front-of-house team.

This shop specialising in Huế-style bún bò makes its robust, savoury broth fresh every day. Pick from four toppings including the signature xí quách: the large L-shaped beef bone lends deep flavour and a wealth of textures – meat, cartilage and fatty edges. For a more varied bowl, try the thập cẩm, which comes with beef blood curd, pork loaf and tendon; the thinly sliced beef tongue is tender and delicate. Arrive early as beef bone availability is limited.

The owner’s parents used to sell mì quảng, noodle soup from Central Vietnam. The shop is named ‘Nu Đồ’, a transliteration of the word ‘noodle’. The menu boasts four versions of mì quảng served in traditional bamboo baskets like in the old days, each with a special broth to highlight the key ingredient. The snakehead fish variety with pronounced turmeric aromas is not to be missed. Tables are laid in the covered patio, surrounded by greenery.
