The restaurant is located right on the frontage of a large street so it is very easy to find, if you are quite concerned about the parking issue when the restaurant operates on the sidewalk, that matter is quite easy because the restaurant even has a parking lot for cars. The space is arranged mainly in the sidewalk area, creating an airy, close feeling that catches the natural breeze, which is especially pleasant in the evening. This is an ideal location to gather with friends, both enjoying the food and chatting in the bustling atmosphere of the street. However, during peak hours, the shop is usually quite crowded, so the walkways and seating areas become a bit more cramped, and the space turns vibrant and lively. If you prefer comfort, you should visit the shop early to pick your favorite seat.
The menu here is extremely diverse with all kinds of snails, scallops, oysters, crab claws, seafood fried noodles... The price of snail dishes ranges from 40,000 VND, while crab claws are 100,000 VND, generally quite reasonable compared to the quality. The food is prepared to taste, not too sweet, and suits many people's palates.
A plus point is that every dish is prepared and presented quite meticulously. Salted egg yolk sweet snails are rich and fragrant, and the sauce is thick and very catchy. Grilled shrimp with chili salt is fresh, the meat is firm, and mildly spicy to taste. Seafood fried noodles are full of toppings, the noodles are chewy and delicious. Sweet and sour tamarind roasted kana snails are harmonious and extremely addictive. Particularly, the cheese grilled oysters are moderately rich, not cloying at all, so they are very worth trying.
The dishes at the restaurant are all prepared after customers order, so when brought out, they are still piping hot, retaining their fresh and delicious flavor. During crowded time frames, the waiting time for dishes will be a bit longer, but in return, the food is made quite carefully. The staff is friendly, enthusiastic, and always tries to serve as quickly as possible; however, when the restaurant is too crowded, there are sometimes still some minor shortcomings. Overall, the experience at the restaurant is still quite good and very worth visiting to enjoy.
