Sample Menu

• Fresh Spring rolls - Warm-up your taste of food with fresh spring rolls made with the rice paper you have done it by yourself. The filling will be fresh herbs and veggies.
• Steamed Rice - Rice is irreplaceable in Vietnamese daily life. Rice is so popular that we call the meals "ăn cơm" which means "eat rice" instead of lunch or dinner.
• Soup - Soup plays an important role in a Vietnamese meal. Different kinds of soup will be served in different seasons accordingly.
• Braised pork belly with shrimps/ simmered pork ribs/ chicken/ squid - Vietnamese people usually have one braised dish in a meal. We braise porks, fish and chicken. In Donghoi, we also eat seafood like squid and shrimps.
• Stirred fry vegetables - Vietnamese people eat a lot of green vegetables. We always have at least veggie dish in a meal.
• Fried rolls - You will love this typical food in Vietnam. Our homemade fried rolls made of porks, spices, wood-ear mushroom and other herbs will be your favorite.
• Tofu with tomato sauce - Simply cooked but you will be astonished by the taste. It will be a wonderful combination between tofu and tomato.
