Dragon Red Snapper: An Ode to Legend

A Vietnamese Classic Artfully Reimagined

We invite you to savor this innovative Dragon Red Snapper, a tribute to Vietnam’s revered Elephant Ear Fish. Executive Chef Daniel Le elevates this classic with a dragon-inspired transformation, presenting a deboned masterpiece with scales of exquisite crispiness, draped in an intense fiery glaze, and accompanied by luxurious Uni & Crab Kani Hokkaido rice.

Inspired by the famous delicacy from the Vinh Long River region, this dish is reimagined at NUE to bring you an elegant blend of tradition, texture and taste in celebration of the Year of the Dragon.
