Dong Xuan Food Alley

Hidden little alley where you can try more authentic Vietnamese food like Bún Chả Kẹp Que Tre, which is grilled pork patties on skewers, or Bún Riêu Cuốn, which is freshwater crab soup.

Cash only, and do your best to make exact change. If you try to pay with a 500,000 dong note, they will look at you blankly. Best to break up your big bills at Circle K or Winmart. Aim for just before lunch to get the best energy while the food is still fresh.
