Richmond’s Hidden Gem: TÂNG Vietnamese
📍 TÂNG Vietnamese Restaurant & Bar Alexandra Rd, Richmond (aka "Food Street") Just stumbled upon this modern Vietnamese gem – think classic flavors with creative twists, plus craft cocktails in a moody, lantern-lit space. 🌟 Must-Try Dishes 🦐 Salted Egg Yolk Prawns ($18) Jumbo prawns smothered in velvety salted egg sauce – rich, creamy, and totally addictive. 🥩 Garlic Butter Beef Slices ($16) Paper-thin cuts seared in garlic brown butter – melts like meat candy. 🍢 Grilled Platter ($28) Lemongrass pork skewers + honey-glazed ribs + crispy quail – DIY rice paper wraps encouraged! 🍜 Mekong Hot Pot ($35) Pineapple-tamarind broth with river prawns + squid – sour-spicy flood your senses. 🍹 Drink Highlights ☕ Salted Cream Coffee ($7) Dalgona-style foam atop strong Vietnamese brew – sweet-salty perfection. 🍋 Lychee Lime Soda ($6) Real lychee bits + zesty lime – not too sweet, ultra-refreshing. 🍸 For Drinkers: Try the Lemongrass Gin Fizz or Vietnamese Espresso Martini. 💡 Why It Stands Out ✔ Unusual finds (Mekong hot pot! Salted egg everything!) ✔ Moody, date-night worthy vibe (lanterns, dark wood, intimate booths) ✔ Great for groups – shareable platters + big tables 💰 Damage: ~$25-40 per person 📌 Tip: Ask for extra herbs + fish sauce – it’s all about layering flavors! #VancouverEats #ModernVietnamese #RichmondBC
