For international visitors, the true essence of travel lies in discovering Vietnamese traditional food that is both authentic and safely prepared. At Qua Ngon Restaurant, we have spent over 16 years building a reputation as the premier Ho Chi Minh city restaurant for travelers, where world-class service meets the deep-rooted flavors of our heritage.
If you are looking to explore the most iconic tastes of Vietnam, here are 5 legendary specialties that define our culinary identity:
1. De Nhat Heo Toc Quay Lu Chat Met (Whole native pig roasted in a terracotta kiln, carved and served on a bamboo platter)
This is our most famous Vietnamese traditional food. The whole native pig is roasted in a traditional terracotta kiln (Hot-Kiln) using secret techniques to ensure the skin is golden-crisp while the meat remains tender.

The Experience: Carved and served on a traditional bamboo platter (Mẹt), reflecting the rustic communal dining culture of Vietnam.
2. Tho Rung Lai Nuong Lu Mam Nhi (Crossbred Wild Rabbit – Clay-pot Roasted with Fish Sauce)
This is a sophisticated Vietnamese traditional food that highlights the “national soul” of flavors. Farm-raised in pristine environments, our rabbits are slow-roasted in a clay pot and glazed with premium “Mam Nhi” (first-press fish sauce).
The Experience: The technique fully preserves the natural sweetness and firm texture, infusing the meat with a deep, smoky aroma that is uniquely Vietnamese.
3. Ga Den Ban Tay Bac (Northwest Black Chicken – Two Authentic Styles)
This rare heritage poultry from the high mountains is a nutritional Vietnamese traditional food. You can choose between two authentic preparation styles: Roasted with Chili and Salt for a bold kick, or Vacuum-Sealed Steamed to lock in every drop of herbal essence.
The Experience: A journey to the Northwest highlands, where the meat’s firm texture and natural sweetness reflect the purity of Vietnam’s nature.
4. Lẩu Vua (King Hotpot)
This is the crowning jewel of Vietnamese traditional food at our restaurant, world-renowned for its sophisticated broth. The secret lies in 31 herbal ingredients, meticulously simmered for 10 consecutive hours to create a rich, soulful, and uniquely concentrated flavor.
The Experience: A premium “symphony of taste” featuring melt-in-your-mouth American beef, rich Norwegian salmon, crunchy fresh squid, and succulent shrimp, all balanced by a variety of garden-fresh local greens.
5. Xôi Le Le & Le Le Hầm Sâm (Whistling Duck Duo: Crispy Crust & Ginseng Stew)
This prestigious duo is the epitome of Vietnamese traditional food crafted for health and vitality. The Whistling Duck meat is finely minced with aromatic shallots and crunchy wood-ear mushrooms, then encased in a golden, crispy layer of premium sticky rice.
The Experience: A two-part restorative journey—star
