Su Su Waterfall Fried Chicken

Su Su Waterfall Fried Chicken is a casual Vietnamese eatery on Cống Quỳnh, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The restaurant operates inside alleyway 117 near the Nguyễn Trãi intersection. Diners locally know the venue as Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su. The kitchen specializes in Cantonese-influenced fried chicken rice.

The owner built a custom metal machine that pumps streams of hot oil over parboiled chicken. This continuous oil shower crisps the skin rapidly without drying out the interior meat. The counter prepares both whole chicken legs and large chicken wings throughout the day. An automated rotating wok tosses cooked rice grains with tomato paste until bright orange.

Plates arrive with crisp chicken quarters resting on mounds of savory tomato rice. The eatery provides a sweet garlic soy sauce for drizzling over meat and rice. Side accompaniments include sliced cucumbers, pickled greens, and small bowls of seaweed soup. Customers frequently pair their meals with cold cups of pennywort juice.

The family-run shop has served chicken rice in this alley for over two decades. Dining takes place in a covered open-front room with stainless steel tables and plastic stools. A busy takeout station operates alongside the indoor dining area. Scooters pack the narrow alleyway entrance during meal hours. The kitchen plates orders rapidly to handle peak lunch and dinner crowds. The venue maintains modest street-food pricing across its entire food menu.
