Charcoal-grilled ribs, gone before noon.
Com Tam Nguyen Du at 77 Nguyen Du, District 1 — a small shop beside a coffee shop, at the Nguyen Du – Thu Khoa Huan corner. One big charcoal rib grill; young ribs skewered, marinated in fish sauce and spices, grilled just right — never dry outside, cooked through inside. Mornings only, 6:30am to noon.

The grill is the soul of the shop
A sizable rib grill beside the coffee shop: young ribs — meat around white cartilage, the finer the cartilage the better — marinated, skewered, and grilled over charcoal. Rich roast aroma laced with the char of the embers.
Embers redrawn — after naungon.com's food feature on the shop: grilled so the rib never dries outside, meat cooked through inside.
Mornings only: 6:30 to 12:00
By noon the embers are cold and the tables are folded — this is a breakfast shop, not a lunch spot.
