Visit tips

  • Order the crab-cake bowl — The “giant” crab cakes are the most-mentioned dish — order the crab-cake bowl on your first visit.
  • Try the canh bún — Once you've had the bún riêu, switch to canh bún: thick noodles, water spinach, the same bright-sour crab broth.
  • Come at night — The Nguyen Trai night alley lights up after work hours — the shop stays open till 22:00 per blogs (unverified).
