Located at 2C Le Loi, Vung Tau Ward, this restaurant boasts an enviable location directly facing Bai Truoc Park. This prime positioning allows the restaurant to benefit from natural sea breezes, creating a comfortable and refreshing dining experience.

This transparency builds trust in food safety and demonstrates a professional approach to operations.

Diverse Menu with 100% American Beef Commitment

Despite its central location, the restaurant maintains surprisingly affordable prices. The biggest differentiator for Steak Mỹ and Banh Mi Chao Vung Tau is its commitment to using 100% imported American beef, ensuring tenderness and natural sweetness. You can choose from:

• Banh Mi Chao (Pan Bread): Prices range from 59,000 – 99,000 VND depending on toppings like eggs, meatballs, fresh oysters, and cheese.
• American Steak: Combos with potatoes, pasta, or salad start from 79,000 VND.
• Side Dishes: Options like steamed oysters with eggs, herbal frog, and braised mackerel in tomato sauce range from 29,000 VND.

High-Quality American Beef Steak with Signature Sauces

The beef is sliced to a moderate thickness, ensuring a perfectly seared exterior while maintaining a pink center and natural juiciness. When you take a bite, you’ll experience the tenderness and distinct sweetness of American beef, without any toughness or dryness.

The sauce is a dark brown color with a light consistency, delivering a rich and harmonious balance of savory and sweet flavors. There’s a subtle aroma of herbs and soy sauce in the aftertaste, avoiding the overpowering scent of artificial flavorings. When combined with a runny egg yolk, the sauce becomes even richer and is perfect for dipping the warm, crispy bread.

Nutritious and Filling Banh Mi Chao

The Banh Mi Chao at this restaurant is divided into several tiers to suit different tastes. For just 59,000 VND, you get a basic portion consisting of American beef, fried eggs, and creamy cheese. For a more complete experience, the 69,000 VND combos add large meatballs or a unique, fiery oyster topping. And the special 99,000 VND pan is a combination of all the toppings – American beef, eggs, meatballs, fresh oysters, and homemade pate. All portions are always served with freshly baked, crispy bread for dipping into the sauce.

Unique Dishes to Try

Beyond the main courses, there are a few other dishes worth exploring:

• Herbal Frog: The frog meat is firm and chewy, infused with the fragrant aroma of natural herbs. This dish offers a complex and unique flavor profile.
• Braised Mackerel in Tomato Sauce: A dish with a rustic flavor, the mackerel is braised until tender, with a naturally sweet and sour tomato sauce. It pairs well with bread.
