On Hoang Sa at night, the rice stays hot
Com Tam 90 has no recorded three-generation saga or heirloom recipe — it is known for two things: staying open till 11pm on a street of morning com-tam shops, and a menu that runs from fresh lap xuong through chicken, prawns, grilled rolls, and braised pork.
The night-shift com tam
While many com-tam shops on Hoang Sa street sell through the morning shift and close before dark, Com Tam 90 serves straight through lunch to 11pm every day — a late dinner rice plate in District 3.
The signature beyond ribs
The shop's vendor menu lists two fresh lap xuong plates — lap xuong rice 55k and lap xuong with pork skin 65k — a rare sight at com-tam shops stuck on the rib trio.
Not just the rib trio
Beyond ribs, pork skin, and egg loaf: grilled pork-roll rice 50k, sauced fried quarter chicken 75k, river-prawn rice 55k, braised pork with egg 55k, sweet-sour garlic chicken 55k on the side, soups from 15k, and crab noodle soup 45k.
