Butter sizzling in the wok, open till 2AM
A budget snail quán in the old apartment blocks — famous for butter-sautéed dishes, plastic stools deep in District 3.
The quán's four fires
No prices, only methods — each snail takes its own trip through the fire.
Butter sauté
Melted-butter wok, fragrant garlic, crisp shallots — the house signature.
Lemongrass steam
Steamed with fresh lemongrass, keeping the snails' natural sweetness.
Charcoal grill
Grilled over charcoal, smoky, dipped in pepper-lime salt.
Salt toss
Salt-tossed and savory, eaten with Vietnamese coriander the proper way.
Three things that make Oc Loan
Nothing fancy, nothing showy — just a hot wok and fresh snails.

The butter wok is the soul
People come to Oc Loan for one thing: the butter sauté. Melted butter hugs the snails, fried garlic perfumes the whole alley.
A quán for the late hours
Open 2PM to 2AM, Oc Loan is the meeting spot for anyone hungry at midnight.
Oc Loan stays open till 2AM daily — swing by the Nguyen Thien Thuat alley, sit down, and the hot dishes follow.
