The story
A nem nuong (grilled pork) restaurant with decades of history on Hoa Binh Boulevard, opposite Le Quy Don Primary School in central Ninh Kieu. The signature is charcoal-grilled lean pork nem that you roll in soft rice paper with fresh herbs, green mango and crisp fried rice paper, then dip in the sweet-salty sauce. Reviews are mixed: people praise the nem and its reputation but note slow, inconsistent service.
Thanh Van is a familiar name for nem nuong in Can Tho.

Order the nem as soon as you sit down so it is grilled fresh.
Check that the herbs and side plates look fresh when they arrive.
Treat it as a specialty tasting stop rather than a polished restaurant, since service is inconsistent.
