Besides Pho, Banh Cuon or stuffed pancake is also a local dish that you should try. Normally, Banh Cuon or stuffed pancake is made from rice flour and people stuff some sort of meat or vegetable in it, however, Banh Cuon Ba Hoanh's dish is not just an ordinary Bach Cuong dish, Banh Cuon Ba Hoanh only serves a plain dough with side dishes such as Vietnamese pork sausage, roasted meat and a bowl of sauce.

The soup calls for crab paste made from paddy crabs, which give the broth its main flavor, along with stewed tomatoes, that contribute a slightly tart and natural sweetness to the dish. The complex mixture of ingredients and flavors in the broth, paired with rice vermicelli noodles (Bun), pieces of meat and crab paste, a beautiful selection of condiments like shrimp paste, chilies, and limes, and finally a pile of both blanched and raw vegetables, is what makes the dish so delicious.

Another dish with rice vermicelli noodles (Bun). The component that differentiates bun cha from other dishes is the roasted pork belly and meatball on charcoal, which adds up the flavor with a little bit of sweetness and smokiness to the dish in general. Alongside the savory taste of the broth and meat, the pickled vegetable is served as a side dish to add up citrus flavor. The place can be overcrowded during lunchtime if you want to "eat in peace" you should not eat at the place during that time.

Another place for tourists to enjoy a bowl of Pho. This brand "Pho Thin" has been known by the locals through a lot of generations. Try this place is a must since it only has one dish which is Pho Tai Lan. Pho Tai Lan is pretty much the same as another pho dish with a little alteration: the main protein is not poached beef as usual, it is stir-fried. The chef will add in garlic while stir-frying the beef, so, if you don't like it, you have to ask them not the put it in the first place.

Bun Dau Mam Tom is another typical dish of the locals. “bún đậu mắm tôm” comprises of noodles “bún”, tofu “đậu”, shrimp paste “mắm tôm” and, last but not least, odoriferous herbs “rau thơm”. In the foreigner perspective, Shrimp paste has a very irritating smell or an " eye watery smell", some of them might consider this as "inedible food". despite the smell, it pairs so well with the dish. There is a slight alteration that anybody who hates shrimp paste can still enjoy the dish, it is a fish sauce but "Bun Dau Mam Tom" will not be the same without shrimp paste.
