If you're a seafood lover, there's one dish you simply must try when visiting Saigon – Tamarind Crab. At Cua Ngon Restaurant, located at 250 Nguyen Thai Binh, Tan Binh District, this beloved southern Vietnamese specialty is taken to the next level. Rich in flavor and made with fresh Cà Mau crab, this dish promises to satisfy even the most discerning foodies.

Why Tamarind Crab is a Must-Try
Tamarind Crab (known in Vietnamese as cua rang me) is famous for its bold combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. The sauce is made from tamarind paste, fish sauce, garlic, and sugar – creating a sticky, tangy glaze that coats every piece of crab.
At Cua Ngon Restaurant, the chefs use live Cà Mau mud crabs, prized for their firm meat and naturally sweet flavor. The result? A dish that's bursting with authentic taste and aroma – just like the kind you'd find in Cà Mau itself.
