One of Ninh Binh’s most notable specialties is goat meat. Naturally raised on limestone mountains, the meat is firm, tender, and exceptionally flavorful. Visitors should definitely try dishes such as steamed goat, grilled goat, and goat spring rolls.

Another must-try is Bun Moc Ninh Binh, a simple yet irresistible noodle soup. While found in many regions, Ninh Binh’s version stands out with its clear, sweet broth made from simmered bones, combined with fragrant pork dumplings, shiitake mushrooms, scallions, and fresh chili – perfect for a light summer breakfast.

For lovers of traditional flavors, Ninh Binh eel noodles (Mien Luon) are a must. This dish can be served dry or in broth, accompanied by fresh herbs, roasted peanuts, and a rich, savory broth, distinguishing it from eel noodles in other regions.

Finally, Com Chay Ninh Binh (crispy rice) is a famous snack and popular souvenir. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, served with shredded meat, goat sauce, or a sweet-spicy-salty sauce – delicious, convenient, and easy to take home.
