The stuffed-snail specialist — one dish, one craft
9 Ốc is the snail house on Nguyen Van Giai, Tan Dinh — for 30 years it has made one thing: lemongrass-scented ốc bươu nhồi thịt, dipped in the house's heritage ginger sauce. A bamboo facade, the “SINCE 1995” sign, and a warm bamboo-paneled dining room.
One dish, perfected for 30 years
No long menu, no side dishes — just ốc bươu nhồi thịt, prepared like a craft: from the snail, to the lemongrass stalk, to the dipping bowl.
The stuffing
Ốc bươu stuffed full with seasoned meat — every shell a complete bite.
The lemongrass
A fragrant lemongrass stalk in every snail — both the skewer and the flavor.
The heritage ginger sauce
The ginger dipping sauce from the family recipe — the indispensable finish.
Why 9 Ốc earned its spot
Three things make 9 Ốc: open since 1995, a single dish only, and a bamboo facade you can't mistake.
