Cá Kho Tộ is a special dish of fish fillets simmered in a rich spicy caramelized sauce. In Saigon, I presented this dish simmering in small black ceramic pots. (Take a peek here at this yummy fish dish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKOcV6YTZns) that was served as the featured part of a lunch feast at my Saigon restaurant.)

The fish is moist and meaty. The sauce, rich & smooth, salty, a bit spicy and mostly, amazingly delicious. Bits of green onions and pieces of pork belly float in the caramelized sauce. Spoon sections of the fish and sauce over the rice that comes with this meal and be prepared for a yummy Vietnamese taste sensation!

The Cá Kho Tộ and generous portion of rice are complimented with a salad of uniquely flavored Vietnamese herbs and sliced cucumber.

Cá Kho Tộ is the dish that skyrocketed my small family restaurant in Saigon to the top of EatingSaigon.com and got rave reviews on Tripadvisor! It is one of the most traditional and popular dishes in Southern Vietnam.

When I made this dish in Hanoi, an Australian friend said it was the BEST FISH DISH OF HIS LIFE (and he was 60+ years old 🙂 ). Later, I made this dish for a friend here in Oakland. After eating my Cá Kho Tộ, he said it was his new favorite dish … and asked for more! So, I’m hopeful you’ll love it!

In Vietnam, this dish is traditionally very spicy. Here, I will tone it down just a bit … but it will still have just a small, enjoyable “kick.”

ALLERGENS: Ingredients in this meal that might concern some are: fish, fish sauce. If you have any allergy concerns or questions, please let us know in the comment section of your order (or by email).

    Hai definitely shows off his culinary skill and expertise with this dish. The fish was cooked perfectly and the caramelized sauce was so tasty. Hai guarantees that his customers have an exceptional eating experience. Along with the delicious food, he prepares a very detailed instruction sheet about how to prepare and serve the food. We look forward to Tuesday nights!!!
