Gao Hoian
Description
A husband-and-wife spot tucked down a quieter side street, Gao Hoian does homemade bao buns and Vietnamese classics at prices that make you double-check the menu. The ordering system is a paper form you fill out yourself, which keeps things moving and means you can tick multiple dishes without feeling guilty about it.
The white rose dumplings and Vietnamese pancakes are the things to order first. Portions are small by design, so treat this like a tasting session rather than a single-dish meal.
