Rich & Bold

Nothing captures the pulse of Vietnamese coffee culture like the slow drip of a metal “Phin”. It’s dark, unapologetically strong, and deeply rooted in daily rhythm.

At Chay Concept, we bring that exact authentic character to your cup. To give it a familiar childhood touch, we top that bold brew with a savory cream foam made from Phô mai Con Bò Cười (The Laughing Cow Cheese). The rich, salty-sweet layer melts right into the intense coffee base for a uniquely Vietnamese flavor experience.

If you haven't explored real Vietnamese coffee yet, consider this your sign for your next visit. We’ll have a fresh glass ready when you walk through the door.

IN SEASON: VIETNAM's LYCHEES

Summer in Vietnam has a flavor all its own. It is the season when orchards across Thanh Hà, Hưng Yên, and Bắc Giang turn a beautiful, ripe red with fresh lychees. We hold dear the simple local tradition of "mùa nào thức nấy", enjoying whatever fruits nature offers when they are at their absolute freshest.

Honoring this rustic spirit, we created the Marina Park Margarita. Keeping it simple, this drink perfectly captures the sweet, fragrant taste of seasonal lychees and pairs it with the refreshing tartness of Hibiscus cold brew tea to beat the heat.

Drop by, enjoy a cool glass, and taste the authentic, signature fruit flavors of a true Vietnamese summer.

Why does Vietnamese food come with fresh herbs?

Vietnam is home to over 30 different types of culinary herbs. At Chay Concept, that final sprinkle of green on top is never just for show.

When paired with the food, the natural essential oils in the leaves are awakened, releasing a rustic aroma. This subtle fragrance balances the rich base, bringing a refined freshness to the meal. Every dish holds a unique flavor when paired with the right herbs.

And we choose to tell this story by finishing each bowl with the exact herb native to its region.

Every clay pot begins as a handful of earth.

For generations, Vietnamese artisans have transformed clay into vessels that carry both food and tradition. Long before modern cookware, clay pots were trusted to preserve warmth and bring out the natural character of ingredients.

At Chay Concept, we serve our lotus leaf steamed rice in a traditional clay pot for the same reason. A beloved dish often associated with the culinary heritage of Huế, lotus leaf rice reveals its fragrance best when kept warm until the moment the lid is lifted.

A traditional vessel, carrying a traditional Vietnamese dish, just as it should be.

One ingredient. Thirty days. An entire culinary culture behind it.

Salted eggs were never a restaurant invention.
They were what grandma kept in a clay jar by the kitchen, what mothers packed when leaving home, because they lasted long, and because that taste couldn't be found anywhere else.

|The Process|

∙ 30 Days: Duck eggs slowly cure in a 20% saturated salt solution
∙ Osmotic Shift: Salt concentrates the yolk into a dense, oil-rich core
∙ Layered Umami: Star anise adds warmth, not dominance

Some flavors take you somewhere. This one takes you home.

Ragu Mushroom | Now serving.
A familiar dish, a fresh start.

Ragu has always been a staple in Vietnamese kitchens. Originally French, it was reimagined over generations to be simple, hearty, and naturally flavorful.

Chay Concept carries this tradition forward. Fire-roasted mushrooms, white beans, and root vegetables are slow-cooked until tender and rich. No shortcuts—just time and care.

Simply tear a piece of warm, crusty Bánh Mì and dip it straight into the stew. It’s comfort food at its simplest, whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends.

Every simmered pot has its own journey. We look forward to sharing more of these stories with you soon.
