This is not our first visit so it's easy to confirm that they definitely deserve a five star rating. In the era of punch-in, those small restaurants with simple appearance are destined to be overshadowed. "Tam Viet Vietnamese Kitchen" located on Jaffe Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong has been open since the beginning of 2022. The entrance is small, and it is the kind of civilian restaurant that you may not find after passing it many times. However, if you are a lover of Vietnamese food and also like to explore the cost-effective and strong shops on the street, then if you miss it because of its appearance, you will really miss a precious opportunity! The Vietnamese chef said with great expectations: "I hope Hong Kong people can enjoy Vietnamese specialties." 』

This restaurant does not have excessive or exaggerated Vietnamese decorations. Southeast Asian-style music is played in the restaurant, which exudes a touch of exotic atmosphere. The most Vietnamese thing in the store is probably the map of Vietnam hanging on the wall. Owner and chef Ms. Gao explained: “Tam means “heart” in Vietnamese, and what we want to express is that we cook Vietnamese food with our heart. "She is from North Vietnam and has settled in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. She has worked as a chef in different Vietnamese restaurants. Her Vietnamese cooking skills come entirely from the teachings and teachings from her friends and family since she was a child.

Foodies who know a little bit about Vietnamese food probably know that Vietnamese food can be divided into two styles: "Southern" and "Northern". Miss Gao is good at cooking northern-style dishes: "Northern dishes are light in taste and lack the sweetness and rich flavor of the south." For example, beef soup is made in the north without adding too many ingredients other than beef bones or herb seasonings, while in the south, various spices and seasonings are added to cook it; there are also spring rolls, in which more sugar is added in the south than in the north. , tastes sweeter. 』Seeing the clarity of Qiaozi Honey Tea, you can appreciate the pure love for carefully selected high-quality ingredients.
The dishes on the menu belong to traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnamese sweet and sour chicken feet and raw beef soup are still the favorites of most guests. Vietnamese raw beef soup pho, prepared with a refreshing but not greasy soup base, derived from Vietnam's secret recipe of beef bone soup, covered with bean sprouts, beef, nine-story pagoda, etc., piled high, and the appearance is not sloppy at all.
The beef bone soup here is refreshing but not boring, and does not require the addition of MSG at all. The production method is to first wash and fry a dozen kilograms of beef bone tubes, then add herbs and simmer slowly, and finally prepare the beef soup. At the same time, stir-fry spices such as star anise and grass fruit with lard until fragrant. When there is an order, mix the two and cook, skimming the fat from the soup noodles. The whole process takes up to 16 to 17 hours, and the resulting beef bone soup is both fragrant and delicious, while remaining sweet. After being cooked slowly, there is not much odor. In addition, as for cold drinks, banana and avocado smoothies are not to be missed.
Ushikawa uses beef neck meat, sliced ​​into thin slices, one bite at a time, tender and rich in beef flavor. Coupled with a little chili pepper and Vietnamese citrus juice, one spicy and one sour complement the beef broth, adding even more depth. Ms. Gao said: The method of "frying spices with lard" is definitely rare in Hong Kong as far as she knows, because it is a family secret secret passed down privately by her chef friend when she was in North Vietnam. “Don’t be afraid to say it, because the amount of lard is very important and not everyone can do it. ’ she added. In addition to vegetables and meat, the store uses Vietnamese ingredients as much as possible, such as citrus, lime, chili, lemongrass, fish sauce, rice paper and spring roll wrappers. The picture shows the rice paper rolls of shrimp cakes. When dipped in the sauce, it will take the taste buds of gourmets to soar into the clouds of taste!
What I have to introduce is Haiphong’s specialty crabmeat, tomato soup and lemon. This soup base took a lot of effort! It is first stewed with chicken bones and pork bones, then crab meat is added, tomato puree and crab meat float on the soup surface, and it is also served with fish cakes, dried tofu and pork. The orange-red soup base is a mixture of sour and sweet, and you can taste the freshness and sweetness of crab meat. The pork belly and fish cakes are slightly chewy, and the dried tofu is extremely delicious. Moreover, the ingredients here are all Vietnamese! The picture shows the shredded chicken soup, baby, this bowl alone is worth 5 stars.
Of course, it’s not just beef bone soup. The soup base of crab meat, tomato soup and lemon is made from chicken bones and pork bones, with crab meat and tomatoes added to create a sweet and sour soup. There are also Vietnamese fried spring rolls, 4 pieces per serving. It is filled with mushrooms, fungus, pork, shrimp, shredded radish and pork. The skin is crispy and the meat is sweet, with a great taste. Suddenly, even drip coffee exudes a sweet and rich fragrance, occasionally filling the shop with aroma.
If you are a family without food, you can order French bread! This bread is made with Vietnamese ingredients. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is filled with pork, cucumber, sweet and sour shredded red and white radish, and a little bit of nine-story pagoda. It is fresh and healthy. The picture shows curry beef brisket rice. It is delicious, delicious and has no suspense. It is something that exists on earth but not in heaven. It makes people who are tired of the world reborn and yearn for the mortal world.
In addition to Juzi, the fish sauce, rice paper, spring roll wrappers, lime, chili, pork and French buns in the shop are all imported from Vietnam. Even the fish sauce that goes with the spring rolls is cooked with apple cider vinegar and pineapple juice, so it's not too sour. After you’re full, it’s recommended to try the drip coffee here. The owner, Ms. Gao, asked a Vietnamese barista friend to mail the coffee beans to Hong Kong. The roasted coffee beans are fragrant and have a sweet and bitter taste. It is best to add some condensed milk to drink and order a few French baguettes to enjoy together. The roasted coffee beans are fragrant and have high acidity. It is recommended to add some condensed milk to make it more delicious.
There are also shrimp rice paper rolls. The rice paper rolls are also made in Vietnam. They are thin, chewy and fragrant with rice. They are filled with cucumber, lettuce, shredded red and white radish and coriander. The ingredients are fresh and refreshing.
