Lay Bac - What's the Haps?
Konrad & Kathleen on an Uncle Tan's River Safari during a trip to Borneo

Does anyone know what's become of Lay Bac? I've been missing it terribly! I know they closed just after Tet in order to move to a new location. It was my understanding that they were planning to reopen on March 15th on Hang Can. We've looked all over for it, but haven't had any luck -- really need my tofu w/tomato fix, so give a holler if you know what's up!

Hmmmm, I know how you feel. I meant to write down the new address when they were still on Hang Bac and had a sign posted. Are you sure they reopened with the same name? Maybe they renamed it Lay Can? :)

I miss their banana leaf and saffron fish dish and was disappointed to find no lay Bac where they used to be when I went to get my fix about 6 weeks ago. Not sure where they have moved to, but if anyone finds out please post on here!

Hazzah! Lay Bac (aka: Mon An Viet) has been found! I think they were likely a bit delayed in opening the new place, which is why it was impossible to find before now.

The restaurant is now located at 20 Hang Can -- the tiny little street that picks up where Pho Cha Ca ends and runs for a block until Luong Van Can begins. The new name is Mon An Viet, but the menu is exactly the same as at Lay Bac. Unfortunately, it looks like much of the staff has turned over, but the food is just as good as always! The new restaurant is HUGE. I don't know the phone number for the place -- they hadn't received their new business cards when we were there.

Anyhow, hope this helps!
