Tran Tran

Victoria Street’s endless stretch of Vietnamese joints can be overwhelming. Cut through the noise and grab a table at Tran Tran. It’s a breezy, no-fuss dining room where the real trick is knowing exactly what to order. Skip the menu paralysis—you’re here for the bò kho (beef stew). Massive, wildly tender slices of beef soaking in a rich, deeply savory broth that hits every comfort craving. Savvy diners also point straight to the shatteringly crisp soft shell crab, Grandma's beef, and the smoky chargrilled pork. Portions are unapologetically huge; prices feel permanently stuck in a better decade. Wash it all down with a heavy-hitting cà phê sữa đá—that sweet, icy caffeine jolt. While the expansive menu can occasionally be a mixed bag, stick to these heavy hitters. Service is fast, fiercely welcoming, and the authentic flavors hit hard.
