Small hole-in-the-wall family restaurant that serves good Vietnamese food.
I was really happy with my special savory sticky rice (xôi đặc biệt) order. It differs from the normal savory sticky rice (xôi mặn) in that they give you a piece of fried chicken. The seasonings of the pate and braised pork were on point. The fried chicken was crispy, well-seasoned, and not dried. The pork floss was a bit salty and not sweet enough, but that's just my personal preference. Overall, this is a dish I would return here for.
We also ordered the flagship Da Nang fish cake vermicelli (bún chả cá Đà Nẵng), which was pretty ok. The broth was sweet, salty, and not too heavy. There are plenty of fish cakes, both steamed and fried ones. The fermented shrimp paste (mắm ruốc) add-on was pretty authentic according to my Da Nang native girlfriend. This is also a good dish imo.
One last note is that at this current state, this is more of a to-go restaurant than a dine-in one since they only have 2 small tables. We came here for lunch and the tables were empty, but this is something to consider if you're looking for a place to sit.
All in all, good restaurant, I recommend trying at least once.
