The Hải Nam bánh cuốn diner

Hải Nam began with a steamer on Cao Thắng in 1973. Half a century later, the diner still steams paper-thin sheets every morning — shrimp-pork filling, bánh cống, bánh tôm, and a bowl of true southern sweet fish sauce. No grand signboard: just steam, shrimp aroma, and a snow-white plate of rolls.

STEAM OFF THE TRAY

Steamed to order

Thin, soft, smooth sheets — steamed fresh batch by batch all morning.

SOUTHERN STYLE

Sweet fish sauce

Sweet-blended fish sauce, true southern-style — the soul of a Hải Nam plate.
