Thao Chicken Intestine Steamed Rice Roll is an interesting choice for those who want to explore Da Lat cuisine. The dish has a delicious and unique flavor, but you should be prepared to wait and take note of a few points about the space.
Honestly, after returning 1 years later, the food quality as well as the service have gotten much worse, and the restaurant smells extremely fishy. The waiter had body odor on a humid day, could you please advise staff to use deodorant when working? People might say I'm nitpicking, but look at the greens picked for customers to eat, who is this for, it would be better to let customers pick it themselves. Then fish sauce was poured straight into the bowl; with some customers eating bland and others salty, pouring it like this is so difficult for customers.
Thao Chicken Intestine Steamed Rice Roll I recently had the chance to visit Thao Chicken Intestine Steamed Rice Roll during my trip to Da Lat, and I must say it was quite an interesting experience with a dish that seems very simple but is "addictive" in a very unique way. First impression is that the cafe is quite small, true to the local eatery style, the space is not too elaborate or luxurious, but clean and neat. Stepping in, you immediately feel the familiar, close atmosphere, just like eating at a local favorite spot. The main dish - chicken intestine steamed rice roll - is prepared quite meticulously. The steamed rice rolls are soft, thin, not mushy or sticky, and very palatable. The chicken intestines are cleaned with no odor, which is a point I appreciate because not every place handles this part well. The shredded chicken meat is just right, not dry, still retaining its natural sweetness. The best part of this dish, in my opinion, is the dipping sauce. The fish sauce is richly mixed, with a balanced sweet and sour taste, a little mild spice, and served with the rice rolls and chicken intestines, it is very flavorful. When mixing everything together, adding a little herbs, fried shallots... oh, I must say the more you eat, the more addictive it is, without getting tiresome. Prices here are also quite gentle, true to a budget eatery, suitable for many audiences, from tourists to locals. One filling portion without having to think much about the price, I find this very reasonable. However, because the cafe is quite famous, it is often quite crowded during peak hours. I went around morning time and already saw customers coming in and out continuously. If you go a little late, you might have to wait for a table or wait a bit long for food. But in return, the cafe serves quite quickly so you don't have to wait too long either. The service staff is quick and concise, not overly enthusiastic but not unpleasant either. For such a crowded place, I find that fine. Overall, with a rating of 4.3 stars, I find it reasonable. This is not a place for "virtual check-ins", but a place to enjoy a signature Da Lat dish in the most complete and authentic way. If everyone has a chance to go to Da Lat and wants to try authentic chicken intestine steamed rice rolls, this is a address very worth visiting. After finishing a portion, drinking an extra hot soy milk glass... oh, the feeling is pure Da Lat, gentle yet memorable.

The food is delicious, the soft-boiled egg is not dry and not fishy. Reasonable price. I have eaten at many places, but this place is delicious. The cafe is crowded so the wait is a bit long. A few houses away from the cafe 1 there is a good cafe hehe, after eating, go there to order 1 cup of coffee and then go sightseeing, which is totally reasonable
I stopped by Thao chicken intestine steamed rice rolls because I saw many people review it quite well. Regarding the food, according to my personal feeling, you should order the sauce separately rather than pouring it straight onto the cake, because once poured in, the cake easily gets salty and soggy, losing its flavor. Keeping it separate makes it easier to adjust according to each person's taste. The day I went, the cake was not hot, eating it a bit cold reduced the deliciousness quite a lot. Iced tea here costs 2k/glass, which I find very okay, cheap, and reasonable. There is one point I was a bit uncomfortable with: while eating, stray dogs walked into the cafe area, walking around under the tables. I understand that an open space is hard to avoid, but for me it was a bit unsanitary and made me not feel very comfortable eating. Overall, the cafe is okay to try out, prices are affordable, budget-friendly. However, if the cafe improves more on keeping the dining space clean and keeping the dish hotter, the experience would be much better. Anyone who is strict about hygiene should probably consider the time to go accordingly.
The steamed rice paper was ice cold, the flavor was ordinary, slightly bad. The parking lot in front of the shop has limited space so you have to park far away, customers watch their own vehicles, there is no parking attendant. Ordering took forever, the staff were just slow, ordered only 2 portions but sat waiting for 10 minutes. When brought out, the bowl of steamed rice paper was cold, and there wasn't even a pair of chopsticks. The shop is full of trash and dirty, they can't clean up in time so it's filthy, customers sit uncomfortably. The price is also 40K 1 a bowl, yet it's so disappointing. Don't eat at this shop, Da Lat has many better places. This shop is just all booked reviews.
