Amidst Covid, the dine-in facilities came to a halt but places like CHÔ never failed to impress their patrons. 

Vietnamese cuisine is a perfect blend of aromatic, spicy, creamy, salty and tart flavours and these qualities shape up pretty well in the urban warm indoors and lush outdoors of this Vietnamese kitchen. Given the pandemic situation and restrictions imposed on social distancing, CHÔ has come up a with an all-new delivery menu.
