If you’re a fan of goat meat or looking to try something new, this hidden gem is a must-visit! The restaurant specializes in goat prepared in a variety of delicious ways—grilled, hotpot, curry, steamed, stir-fried, and more. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the top-notch quality and flavor. The meat is expertly prepared to eliminate any strong gamey smell, making it enjoyable even for first-timers. Portions are generous—perfect for groups of 4 or more.
One great perk: it’s BYOB! Bring your favorite drink, kick back, and enjoy a proper “nhậu” experience with friends.
Service was excellent. The owner, who has over 30 years of experience and previously ran the same concept in Vietnam, was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. You can tell there’s passion and tradition behind every dish.
What we tried:
• Goat hotpot (Lẩu dê): Huge portion, ideal for 3–4 people. Rich, savory broth and tender meat.
• Grilled goat ribs (Sườn dê nướng): Juicy, tender, and packed with flavor.
• Goat grilled on salt (Dê rang muối): Despite the name, this was actually deep-fried goat cubes coated with crispy cracker crumbs. Not too salty—just crunchy, unique, and delicious.
We’ll definitely be coming back to try their best-seller—the grilled goat breast (Vú dê nướng)—which was sadly sold out during our visit. Can’t wait for round two!

This Vietnamese restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. I’ve come in several times now, and every visit has been met with exceptional service and incredible food. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the owner is genuinely welcoming. You can feel the passion he has for both the food and the customers.
The menu offers a great variety, and each dish is unique in flavor and presentation. The goat meat dishes, in particular, are tender, rich, and full of authentic flavor. You don’t often find goat meat prepared this well. Portion sizes are very generous too, making it perfect for sharing with family or a group.
It’s a family-friendly place with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re coming in for a quick bite or a full meal with loved ones, this place delivers every time! Highly recommend trying it out!

I’ve been craving goat meat for a while, and this restaurant definitely hit the spot. It’s truly authentic—the food isn’t pre-made, but freshly prepared after you order. The owner is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. I went with my sister, so we only ordered two dishes, but there was plenty of food, and everything was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back again!

The restaurant has a spacious design. Reasonable price and a large portion of meat. A portion can serve 3-4 people. Fresh meat, well-seasoned, especially grilled dishes. Highly recommend everyone to try and support the family restaurant.

My family came in and waited for 30 minutes without anyone coming by to take our order. We had to call the waiter over just to place our order. After that, we waited another 20 minutes while the table that came after us had already received all their food—meanwhile, we hadn’t even been given a single cup of water. I was thinking, how the heck did they get a full table of food when we arrived before them and still had nothing?
The owner kept saying it was too busy and that all the customers arrived at the same time. I get that things can get busy, but why did other tables get their food first??? Another table that arrived after us had the owner rush over to take their order, bring their water, and serve them quickly—within a minute, while we were still waiting for our orders to be taken.
Our first dish finally came out, and guess what? We finished it and then had to wait another 30 minutes for the rest of our food. Meanwhile, the table that was served quickly had already received everything. The owner didn’t even glance at our table, and the waiter just stood behind the counter staring at us, doing nothing. Every other table got their food at the same time—except for us. The owner even took the time to check on other tables but didn’t care about taking our orders or bringing out water for us, even though we had been waiting for 30 minutes at that point. The waiter had no clue what he was supposed to do. He didn’t even clean the table—just stood there doing nothing, which really pissed me off.
Poor food, poor service, poor management. Never coming back again. Not recommended!!!

The food was alright not enough flavor. The service though was horrible we were seated and wasn’t serviced after 20 mins after for the menu and soon later waited 30 min for them come and ask for our order. And after that waited another 30 minutes for them to deliver one of our dish and completely forgot the other dishes. Then told us they didn’t have that dish because they were out when they just told us when we ordered we had the dish. Any other that came after us had their meal while we still was waiting for the other dishes. We had no water or nothing until we asked them to. It wasn’t that busy either for them to take this long for our food. We were not satisfied

I went here because of a video on Instagram. I walked in and no one was there but the service was great! The owner helped me choose what to eat and cooked the food right in front of me. The food was marinated really well. Would come here again and support a small business!
