From breakfast favourites and viral Vietnamese coffee to signature rolls, slow-cooked short ribs and a refreshing coconut finish, Chôm Chôm brings bold Vietnamese flavours to Dubai
For those craving vibrant, comforting and flavour-packed Vietnamese food, Chôm Chôm offers a standout selection of dishes that go beyond the expected. The Hong Kong-born Vietnamese eatery, which has opened its first Dubai branch at The Galleria, brings the sights, sounds and street flavours of Hanoi to the city through bold plates, lively flavours and a social style of dining. The concept is led by Chef Kelvin Ng, the culinary talent behind the original Chôm Chôm in Hong Kong.
Whether you are visiting for a laid-back morning, a casual lunch or a satisfying dinner, here arefive dishes you need to try at Chôm Chôm.
Fried Egg Banh Mi
Breakfast in Dubai often follows a familiar formula, but Chôm Chôm offers something refreshingly different. The Fried Egg Bánh Mì is a must for those looking to start the day with bold flavour and a touch of Vietnam. Filled with fried eggs, carrot and kohlrabi pickle, cucumber, coriander, mayonnaise and jalapeño, it delivers the perfect balance of richness, crunch, freshness and spice. It is a breakfast worth waking up for and a welcome change from the usual morning options in the city.
Vietnamese Coffee
Available hot or iced, Chôm Chôm’s Vietnamese Coffee is the real deal. Made with Vietnamese coffee beans and condensed milk, it is strong, sweet and deeply satisfying. While Vietnamese coffee may have surged in popularity online in recent years, this is your sign to skip the homemade versions and experience the authentic taste instead. Best enjoyed with your besties, it is the kind of coffee moment that turns into a ritual.
Crispy Crab Rolls
One bite into the Crispy Crab Rolls and it is clear why they are a standout. Filled with crab, prawn and Vietnamese herbs, then served with butter lettuce and nuoc cham, the dish is crisp, fresh and packed with flavour. It is not the kind of plate you come across every day in Dubai, which makes it all the more reason to order it at Chôm Chôm. Distinctive, delicious and full of texture, this is one of those dishes that keeps guests coming back.
Beef Short Ribs
For something heartier, the Beef Short Ribs deliver on every level. Slow-cooked until beautifully tender, the dish is paired with green mango, bean sprouts and Vietnamese herbs for a contrast that feels both rich and refreshing. The result is a deeply comforting plate elevated by brightness and balance, showcasing the layered flavours that Vietnamese cuisine does so well.
Coconut Sorbet
End on a cooling note with the Coconut Sorbet, a simple yet memorable dessert that rounds off the meal perfectly. Served with peanut praline, it offers a creamy, nutty and refreshing finish that feels especially welcome in Dubai’s warm weather. Light but indulgent, it is the ideal final spoonful after a flavour-packed feast.
At Chôm Chôm, each dish captures a different side of Vietnamese cuisine, from bold street-style bites and comforting breakfast staples to signature beverages and satisfying mains. For anyone looking to explore authentic Vietnamese flavours in Dubai, these five dishes are the perfect place to start.
