The cafe is unremarkable, with a small, simple sign hanging on the wall, so you might easily miss it if you're not paying attention. However, behind the glass door lies a familiar scene reminiscent of a traditional Vietnamese family home. Old wooden tables and chairs, rustic bamboo chopsticks stored in leftover tin cans from the previous century, and sets of dishes with glazes stained by time... all recreate a cozy, old-fashioned atmosphere.
The restaurant's interior is decorated in dark colors, creating a nostalgic atmosphere for diners who visit.
Besides that, Miss Mai Phuong Thuy also skillfully arranged cabinets and shelves from the subsidy era, topped with many old ceramic items such as vases, pots, bowls, plates, or kettles for brewing medicine...
Not only the restaurant's ambiance, but the menu also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for diners with seemingly rustic dishes that reflect the culinary styles of all three regions of Vietnam, such as: braised pork with shrimp paste, braised freshwater fish, boiled sweet potato leaves, boiled vegetables with dipping sauce, sour soup with fermented rice...
A warm and delicious lunch with minced meat and cabbage soup, boiled vegetables with egg and fish sauce dip, braised lean pork...
Besides enjoying delicious food, diners can also listen to love songs by Trinh Cong Son, Ngo Thuy Mien, Pham Duy... performed by timeless singers like Tuan Ngoc, Duy Quang... played from an antique record player casually placed in the corner of the room.
