Thy Thy Counter and Canteen

Victoria Street veterans point straight to this sun-drenched, retro-diner space for a proper Vietnamese fix. Big, bright, and effortlessly cool—Thy Thy Counter and Canteen delivers massive flavor without the hefty price tag. Serious eaters bypass the strip's usual chaos, grabbing a table here for the cơm tấm—a flawless, traditional broken rice plate loaded with bì (shredded pork skin), chả (pork meatloaf), a runny egg, and a fiercely charred, sweet grilled pork chop. Drown that smoky pork in their vibrant nước chấm and you'll immediately understand the hype. The crackling spring rolls command a spot on every docket alongside the salt and chilli quail, while the ultra-thin, crispy banana fritters seal the deal. Fast, friendly, and deeply satisfying—an absolute staple for your Richmond rotation.
