Located on Le Duan Street, a few dozen meters down from Da Vien Bridge, Thuan Hung wood-fired bakery has existed for more than 30 years, famous for its pate sandwiches the size of a hand span. The shop is located on a busy road, the area is small so it only sells take-out, there are no chairs or tables to enjoy on the spot.
The shop is open from 6am to 12am, with peak hours in the afternoon. Each sandwich with filling inside is sold for 6,000 VND.

Thuan Hung family bread is usually served with pate, cold cuts, char siu, grilled sausage, banh loc, or eggs, with a little Vietnamese coriander, and then sprinkled with meat sauce. Although these are just very common side dishes, Uncle Hung's bread has a very different flavor. Every day, the bread sells more than 3,500 loaves, not only to serve customers but also to supply other shops. The bread bakery is always crowded, especially after 5pm, when people go home from work.
Mr. Hung, 58 years old, the owner, said that the unique feature of this bakery is that it has kept the method of baking bread using a wood-fired oven since 1990. Each batch of bread from baking to taking out of the oven takes 15 minutes. According to him, bread baked with charcoal will have a different crispiness and flavor than bread baked with electricity.
