Lac Canh

Frommer's Review

Two words: grilled shrimp. The Chinese-influenced Vietnamese cuisine here is all about its ingredients, so go for the basics. Try the fresh seafood in a light marinade that you cook yourself on a rustic, cast-iron brazier frill. The place is packed with locals and tourists. The new location is a little more airy, but try to sit outdoors because the atmosphere is smoky. They don't speak English as well as staff at Truc Linh 2, but the food is better -- and cheaper. This is definitely the local "greasy spoon," and it makes for a fun evening.
