Not your typical Vietnamese 🇻🇳 pho, but family meal style Hai Phong Region’s cuisine flavours. Square Crab Spring Rolls, Rice Field Crab Hot Pot, Bun Ca with Snails Vermicelli Soup, Squid Cakes, ả Thịt Heo Quấn Lá Lốt Pork Rolls, Steamed Rice Rolls, Cà Phê Trứng Egg Coffee, etc ... Each and every Northern Vietnamese dish we ordered was flavorful authentic fresh and so delicious 😋

Crab Hot Lau offers a unique take on seafood hot pots, with fresh crab and flavorful broth, but it’s not your typical Vietnamese spot. If you’re looking for something different from the usual, it’s a good option for a hearty, shared meal.
