The modern Cantonese atelier
Black Vinegar is the New World Saigon's modern Cantonese room on Lê Lai — an ink-black dining hall where roast duck comes lacquered and crisp, dim sum arrives in delicate pleats, live seafood hits the wok, and the aged black vinegar on the table is the house signature.
Why Black Vinegar earns a visit
Four things make Black Vinegar: lacquered roast duck, delicate hand-pleated dim sum, live seafood from the tank, and the aged black vinegar that names the room.
