Dear guests,
Due to an unexpected and critical failure with our HVAC system, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend service for Sunday 06/14 and Monday 06/15. The safety, health, and comfort of our patrons and our dedicated team are our highest priorities, and operating without proper temperature control is not a risk we are willing to take.
Our maintenance team is working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will keep you updated right here regarding our reopening timeline.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, especially to those who had reservations with us. Thank you for your continued patience, support, and understanding. We look forward to welcoming you back into a comfortable and safe dining room very soon.

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.
Discover the story with your next meal.

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

Featured in Salted Egg Tofu & Salted Fried Rice

Some flavors take you somewhere. This one takes you home.
See you at Chay Concept!

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.

The creation of a traditional Bánh Đa Vừng

Following a non-negotiable sequence, beginning with the hand spreading of rice flour and black sesame. After steaming, the sheets are sun dried on bamboo mats for days to lock in a brittle texture. The process concludes over live charcoal, where intense heat causes the edges to blister and the sesame to release its aromatic oils.

In Vietnam, this cracker is simply broken into pieces to scoop up various nộm or gỏi. It serves as a natural spoon that adds a smoky, nutty crunch to the experience.

Tea Cocktail Series

Behind every glass is 24 hours of preparation. Our Head Bar spends a full day infusing baby chamomile and stevia into the base Campari to extract a depth that quick mixing simply cannot achieve. By blending this with fresh pineapple juice, we’ve created a drink that feels familiar, like a refined fruit tea, but with a sophisticated, bold edge.

The highlight? The crispy lotus roots and seeds are served alongside. They add a playful, crunchy texture that makes each sip a fun experience.

A deliberate craft, designed for easy, refreshing enjoyment.

The La Lot Platter & The Vietnamese Art of Leaf-Wrapping

La Lot Platter is based on a traditional Vietnamese preparation that relies on natural leaves. We wrap hand-minced plant-based ribs tightly in fresh betel leaves (Lá Lốt) before grilling. This leaf acts as a natural barrier, trapping heat to keep the filling tender and preserving its natural sweetness.

The secret of this dish lies in the leaf’s essential oils released by the grill, making every bite rich in herbal flavor.
Served with:
The Sides: Angel hair vermicelli (Bánh Hỏi) and shredded fresh mango.
The Sauce: Garlic-infused chili "Nước Chấm"

Our door is open, and a hot, fragrant La Lot Platter is waiting. Come and feel at home at Chay Concept.

Lighting at Chay Concept is inspired by the simple tools of Vietnamese rural life. These rattan lamps, hand-woven into shapes reminiscent of fish traps (Nơm) or chicken coops (Bu), are more than just decor. They represent the ingenuity of villagers who transform humble forest vines into functional art, bringing a soul to the space that modern, mass-produced fixtures cannot.

As the golden glow filters through the intricate rattan patterns, it creates a warm, flickering texture on the walls, mimicking the peaceful sunbeams filtering through a village bamboo grove.

Vietnamese Woven Lamps
• Inspiration: Traditional Fish Traps (Nơm) and Chicken Coops (Bu).
• Material: Natural Rattan & Bamboo.
• Vibe: Rustic, Grounded, and Minimalist.

Find your favorite corner under the golden glow & look up next time you’re here.
See You at Chay Concept!
