1. A Unique Culinary Destination in Saigon

No need to travel all the way to Hanoi—you can explore the true flavors of the North right here at Đậu Homemade. The restaurant is designed in a traditional Vietnamese style, offering a cozy, nostalgic vibe. With yellow walls, dark tile roofs, and simple wooden tables and chairs, the atmosphere at Đậu evokes the charm of a Northern village in the midst of a modern city.

2. Must-Try Dishes at Đậu Homemade

Đậu’s menu is a “culinary map” of the North, featuring dishes crafted from traditional recipes:

Bún đậu mắm tôm – a classic dish beautifully presented, with perfectly balanced fermented shrimp paste.

Hanoi-style fried spring rolls (Nem rán Hà Nội) – crispy outside, flavorful inside, served with fresh herbs and dipping sauce.
Clay Pot Spicy Tofu – a mildly sweet dish made with minced pork and mushrooms, enriched with the bold, spicy flavor of satay. Served hot with crispy fried bánh dày (sticky rice cakes), this is Đậu Homemade’s unique twist on the famous spicy tofu from Hanoi.
Crab paste hotpot with beef and cartilage ribs – a customer favorite, with a rich, savory broth and generous toppings.
