The signature tô đặc biệt bowl contains large portions of fresh seafood and roasted meats. Diners dip the meats and seafood into house-mixed sweet tamarind dipping sauce. A glass display counter faces the street, showcasing cooked squid, peeled shrimp, and roasted pork. Cooks blanch fresh greens and noodles rapidly in boiling water before ladling hot broth over each bowl.
