The featured foods include Mì Quảng, a half-noodle soup with concentrated broth; Bún Mắm, a noodle salad with roasted pork and pungent anchovy sauce; and Bánh Tráng Thịt Heo, fresh spring rolls with rice noodle sheets and pork. Gỏi Cá Nam Ô, a fish salad from the centuries-old Nam Ô Fishing Village, is offered in dry and wet versions. Seafood is highlighted at busy restaurants near the fishing port, where live catches are steamed or grilled. Bún Chả Cá, a fish cake noodle soup with pumpkin and bamboo shoot broth, is available all day. Cơm Gà features reddish-orange chicken rice with salad or crispy fried chicken. Bánh Xèo, smaller than the southern version, is served with rice paper, fresh herbs, and a seven-ingredient dipping sauce.
