My Canh – San Francisco, CA

My Canh – San Francisco, CA. So it’s 2:00 am and I’m looking for a place to get food after hitting up the bar scene on Polk Street in San Francisco. One of my good friends who grew up in SF suggests one of his favorite restaurants growing up: My Canh. My Canh is famous for Crab Soup. It is rumored a customer once offered the restaurant 70K for the recipe and they respectfully declined. This soup is one of a kind. I have never had a soup like this and I have frequented many Vietnamese noodle restaurants and have been to Vietnam. The Crab soup comes with crab legs, sliced pork, pork blood, pork cracklings and udon noodles. The broth is a thick rich broth about the same consistency as a steaming whipped egg yolk, it is very interesting and the flavor complexity is off the charts. The cracklings give it a textures crunch and the crab is obviously delicious. Here’s an OCFoodList tip: ask them to crack your crab legs for you. If requested they will crack your legs and put the crab meat in the soup. That certainly came in handy as I was highly inebriated and the last thing I wanted to do was touch soupy crab legs and work meticulously to get every bit of crab out. I was very happy I was able to check My Canh on my trip to the Bay Area. Love, Peace and Crab Soup Grease.
