While the coals glow, the ribs keep grilling
Com Tam Hien 241 at 241 Cach Mang Thang Tam, District 3: a long-running budget broken-rice stall famous for charcoal-grilled ribs and a house-mixed fish sauce. 25k–55k a plate per food guides (10/2026) — no itemized prices published.
Since 10 AM, the coals are red
Three food guides list 10:00–23:00; two sources say 17:00–23:30. Whenever you come, the grill is hot — the one thing every source agrees on is the smell of the ribs.
Hours: hcm.inhat.vn, saigonangi.com and topbrands.vn list 10:00–23:00; riviu.vn and diadiem247.com list 17:00–23:30. Come before 22:00 in the evening to be safe.
Three dishes off the grill
No itemized prices published — four guides quote only the 25,000–55,000₫ plate band.
Charcoal-grilled ribs
Well-marinated ribs over red coals — the dish the guides name most (hcm.inhat.vn).
Rib, bì + chả plate
The fullest combo off the grill: ribs, bì, chả.
Bì or chả plate
Pick bì or chả for a lighter plate — still with the house-mixed fish sauce.
The house-mixed fish sauce
The detail every guide repeats: the fish sauce here is mixed to a house recipe, sweet-sour and light — unlike any other stall on this street.
Mixed to a house recipe
Not industrial sauce: light sweet-sour, 'very easy on the palate' per hcm.inhat.vn — the one detail all four guides give a line to.
At its best poured on
Poured around the plate's edge so the dry grains drink it evenly — grilled ribs plus house-mixed sauce is the District 3 way.
