MenuHo Chi Minh City is a dream destination for food lovers who enjoy the rich culinary diversity of Vietnam’s three regions. Among them, Hanoi cuisine – known for its sophistication, tradition, and simplicity – has become increasingly popular with locals and tourists alike.
Đậu Homemade is one of the standout brands that brings the full flavor of Northern Vietnam to diners in Ho Chi Minh City. Its space is designed in a traditional Vietnamese style, with warm tones and minimalist yet elegant decor that evokes the charm of Hanoi’s old streets.
Artistic hand-painted walls, soft lighting, and rustic wooden furniture create a cozy and relaxing ambiance. Guests can sit by the window, savor their food, and enjoy the gentle scent of lilies — a poetic experience amidst the city’s hustle and bustle.
Specializing in Hanoi cuisine, Đậu Homemade’s signature dish is bún đậu mắm tôm — a beloved street food from Northern Vietnam. The name “Homemade” reflects the brand’s commitment to freshly prepared dishes that stay true to traditional recipes, just like those found in Hanoi.
A full platter includes: Pressed rice vermicelli, Crispy fried tofu, Boiled pork leg slices, Green rice pork patties , Fried squid cakes, crispy pork sausageFresh herbs, cucumber, and of course — a bowl of fragrant fermented shrimp paste.
The shrimp paste (mắm tôm) is meticulously prepared: hot oil is poured over it, followed by sugar and calamansi juice, then whisked until frothy and aromatic. Sliced chili is added to taste. This shrimp paste is considered the soul of the dish. For those not accustomed to its strong flavor, soy sauce or sweet fish sauce is available as alternatives.
In addition to bún đậu, the menu also features many traditional Northern dishes, such as:
Lẩu riêu cua with beef and pork cartilage: A hotpot with rich crab broth, tangy vinegar flavor, tender beef slices, and crunchy cartilage ribs.
Hanoi-style snacks: Bánh gối (Vietnamese empanadas), nem cua bể (crab spring rolls), and steamed snail-stuffed with minced pork and lemongrass leaves — all finely crafted and flavorful.
Boiled pork offal platter: Fresh, well-prepared, and best enjoyed with mắm tôm — a Hanoi-style must-try!
Every dish at Đậu Homemade is made with care, from ingredient selection to cooking techniques, ensuring a truly satisfying dining experience.
Not just a place to enjoy food, Đậu Homemade is the only restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City that features live water puppetry performances — a centuries-old Vietnamese art form.
The shows are performed for free by Đậu’s own trained staff, who double as puppeteers. Visitors can even try operating the puppets themselves — an interactive and memorable cultural experience not found elsewhere.
