A corner shop for decades
Tucked deep in alley 150 Nguyen Trai, Com Tam Kieu Van has been part of this corner for generations of customers — people come for breakfast and keep coming back out of habit. Foody rates it 7.2 from 15 reviews, but the shop lives on regulars more than on scores.
The alley-corner shop that kept its name
Kieu Van is one of the longest-running com-tam shops in the Nguyen Trai area of District 1 — open since before this alley grew busy. Business travelers, review-reading tourists, then regulars.
Thick ribs, deep marinade
The ribs here run thicker than average, honey-marinated sweet-savory then charcoal-grilled — seasoned through the meat. A Foody reviewer calls the shop's ribs "the best"; a food blog praises the caramelized char and the deep marinade.
Ask for more, on the house
Free extra rice and iced tea are the shop's unwritten rule: eat till you're full, nobody charges extra. For the office crowd breakfasting around the area, that's why they come back.
Mornings only
The shop opens while it's still dark and the good cuts go before closing — the shop's webreview.vn pages say 05:30–14:00, greensm says 6:00–13:00. Past 10am, options start running out.
Dish prices per the shop's own webreview.vn product pages. The Foody 7.2 (15 reviews) is the public figure as of 10/2026.
