There\u2019s a self-service counter where you can find seven types of homemade dipping sauces, from the super spicy ones filled with chilli to the lemony, fresh herb sauce to jazz up your dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our only advice is that you should check with the wait staff about the dishes before placing your order, because many of these are medium-cooked and not suitable for all. Besides, most of these dishes are seasoned with chilli and hot spices, so don\u2019t hesitate to tell the wait staff about your preferences if you have a low threshold for spicy stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

For tasty drinks to combat the spiciness and beat the heat, check out the restaurant\u2019s mildly sweet fruit beer, which costs <\/span>VND149,000, (~USD6.57)<\/b> for 1.5 litres.<\/span><\/p>\n
