Song Hong

With Thủy Mai and her husband in the kitchen, and their two oldest children frequently working front of house, Sông Hồng feels like you’ve been invited over for a meal by a Vietnamese family. Every dish they serve is influenced by the rich culinary traditions of the Red River (Sông Hồng) region of Vietnam. This is where the family originates, and the recipes have been handed down through generations. Sông Hồng’s list of exceptional dishes include an unusual yet exquisite dish of grilled squid with mustard sauce (mực nướng mù tạt); a delicate, sweet, fragrant curried goat with galangal (dê xào lăn); and a fried fish vermicelli noodle soup (bún chả cá) from Haiphong, which is served with shredded banana blossom, beansprouts, coriander, lime and chilli.
