Vietnamese Restaurant·Busy, No Frills, Authentic
Located on Nguyễn Phi Khanh street, this established restaurant is a destination for fans of Cơm Tấm (broken rice). While the menu centers on Vietnamese staples, the primary draw is the 'chả cua'—a specialized crab and pork paste—and their notably thick, high-quality fish sauce. The setting is a classic local eatery: functional, bustling, and often packed during peak morning and lunch hours. While prices are higher than typical street-side stalls, it offers a cleaner environment and a recipe that has kept locals coming back for years.

Cơm Tấm Chả cua - Nguyễn Phi Khanh earns a mix of praise and criticism, largely centered on its value proposition. The standout highlight across most reviews is the signature crab paste (chả cua) and the thick, flavorful fish sauce, which many consider superior to standard versions. However, some diners have found the grilled pork ribs to be dry or chewy on occasion, and the rice quality can be inconsistent. While the service is often described as friendly and the owner as welcoming, the price point—approaching 100k VND per plate—is a point of contention for those used to cheaper street food. The portion sizes are described by some as small for the price, though the cleanliness of the shop is frequently noted as a plus. Overall, it is a busy, popular spot that offers a specific, high-quality version of a Vietnamese classic for those willing to pay a bit more.
