At Crab Hot Lau, many guests first notice the broth.

They notice the crab roe floating gently on the surface, the aroma of fresh field crab, and the variety of vegetables and toppings surrounding the pot.

But for many people, one of the most memorable parts of the meal comes later.

It is the Hải Phòng red noodles.

These traditional red noodles are one of the most important parts of Northern Vietnamese crab hot pot.

Without them, the meal would not feel complete.

In Hải Phòng, bánh đa đỏ is more than just a noodle.

It is part of the identity of the dish itself.

Just like many cities are known for one signature food, Hải Phòng is known for bánh đa đỏ.

For many Vietnamese people, the moment they see the deep red noodles, they immediately think of Hải Phòng, the sea, the local markets, and the feeling of sitting around a warm family meal.

That is why bánh đa đỏ is not just another side ingredient.

It is one of the foods that carries the identity of the city.

Unlike regular noodles, Hải Phòng red noodles are thicker, chewier, and have a firmer texture.

They hold the broth beautifully and continue to taste good even after sitting in the soup for a while.

As the noodles absorb the flavour of the crab broth, they become rich, savoury, and deeply comforting.

That is why many guests say the noodles are one of the best parts of the entire meal.

Our signature rice field crab hot pot is made with fresh crab, carefully filtered and cooked using traditional Northern Vietnamese methods.

The broth is naturally sweet, slightly savoury, and full of depth.

When paired with Hải Phòng red noodles, the flavour becomes even more complete.

The noodles soak up the crab broth, crab roe, and natural sweetness from the vegetables, creating a bowl that feels simple but unforgettable.

For many guests, this is the moment when they truly understand why Northern Vietnamese crab hot pot is so special.

At Crab Hot Lau, we continue to serve Hải Phòng red noodles because we believe they are not just another side ingredient.

They are one of the things that define the dish.

Without Hải Phòng red noodles, crab hot pot would still be delicious.

But it would not feel like the true taste of Hải Phòng.
