Sauce mix instruction:
- Add a bit of sugar (two or three tsp)
- One or two kumquats (they usually provide them, if not, you can ask for trái tắc)
- chillies
Delicious dish.
The fermented fish sause was a huge opening for me!
You can get a seat next to the window or on the balcony and enjoy Saigon to its fullest.

I have been here many times. Bun Dau Mam Tom is my favorite dish. Every time I crave Bun Dau Mam Tom, I come here. The tofu is soft and fragrant. Dipping it in shrimp paste on a rainy day is perfect. The staff is polite and friendly. The dishes are served quite quickly. The menu has many northern dishes, the desserts are also delicious, especially the sweet soup. The price is a bit high but still acceptable.

Corner shop lot with three floors, local food very nice and staff friendly, approachable to give us English menu.
My local Vietnamese friend help us to make the shrimp paste sauce, they will provide shrimp paste, then based on your taste add brown sugar and calamansi for the sour taste. Stir it until and texture changes and with lot of bubbles, it ready to serve.

these guys are known for the classic northern viet dish, Bun Dau Mam Tom
they make quite a decent amount of the food and ingredients in house! what this means is the shrimp dipping sauce isn't as pungent as usual. much easier to eat with! make sure to add some lemon and chilli to round out the taste!
the tofu is really nice too!
i found the fried pork a bit dry though

Vietnamese restaurant serving 3 floors, located on the street corner. Delicious food, beautiful plate decoration, the price is quite high. The atmosphere, view and decoration of the restaurant are very good. The service staff is OK. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. There is a restroom in the shop. Accept credit card payments when the amount is ₫150,000 VND or more.

There is English instructions on how to eat with the shrimp paste. It is a good experience and not to be missed if you like to know how to eat the paste. As an Asian, I am amaze with the way to enjoy it. Just note there is not child or baby seats, and go off peak as it is not too crowded.

The food was good and the aesthetics was particularly nice. If you want a nice balcony seat overseeing the street below with some good authentic northern cuisine, this is the place. I particularly enjoyed the fried spring rolls with crab meat.
