Lẩu Hải Sản

Seafood Hot Pot Broth (Lẩu Hải Sản)

The signature tamarind-forward broth loaded with shellfish aromatics — order the full seafood version rather than a plain stock

Clams

Steamed or cooked in-broth, the clams here are frequently cited as fresh and sand-free, which is the threshold that matters

Shrimp

Head-on shrimp cooked tableside in the hot pot — sweetens the broth as they cook, so drop them in early

Vermicelli Noodles (Bún)

The standard noodle accompaniment — add them in the last minutes of cooking to avoid mushiness

Dipping Sauce Platter

Salt-pepper-lime and fermented shrimp paste accompaniments that distinguish a Vietnamese hot pot table from others
