The dish: fish hủ tiếu
Springy rice noodles in clear fish broth, topped with sliced fresh fish. A Cholon Chinese-Vietnamese dish — light, clean, easy to love.
The story
A fish shop on an old street
Fish hủ tiếu is a Cholon Chinese-Vietnamese dish, and Nam Lợi is one of the shops keeping it alive in District 1.
The shop: Nam Lợi
A long-standing eatery on Tôn Thất Đạm serving mostly locals. No fancy decor — simple tables, and the noodle bowl is the star.
The street: Tôn Thất Đạm
A small street by Bến Thành where long-standing eateries still keep Saigon's old rhythm. Nam Lợi is part of that rhythm.
