About Mắm

Mắm offers delicious authentic Vietnamese food, featuring standout dishes and appetizers such as chicken cartilage and ice coffee. The restaurant has a casual vibe, making it a favorite spot for adventurous eaters. Guests can explore a seasonal menu and try unique dishes like raw clam salad, pork sausage stuffed snails, and quail balut. The host/chef, Nhung, is attentive and knowledgeable, guiding guests through the menu for an authentic experience.

While some may find the portion sizes small and take issue with the use of plastic plates or the compact restroom, the food remains highly recommended for those focused on taste. Guests appreciate the flavorful garlic chicken cartilage and buttery surf clam, considering them must-tries. The seasonal menu is a highlight, with bun dau mam tom being a close match to what is served in Vietnam. The restaurant's unpretentious and comfortable atmosphere, along with great customer service, makes it an enjoyable dining spot. Although prices are considered high by some, the quality and authenticity of the food make it a good choice, especially for northern Vietnamese dishes. Despite the lack of A/C and some service quirks, true Vietnamese food lovers will find Mắm to be a delightful and satisfying place.
