The history of the A-C noodles restaurant

Since the late 20th century, many people from Binh Dinh who moved to Phu Quoc to live brought along Tom noodles and started businesses. In 2000, the owner of Kien Xay restaurant created a new noodle dish by altering the ingredients of Binh Dinh Shrimp noodle dish.

Because the business didn’t have a sign, Phu Quoc people call this dish “bun quay” named after the ‘stirring’ process involved in making the vermicelli. After many years of trading, the owner decided to name the brand A-C noodle soup because his family has children studying Architecture and Construction, in order to avoid confusion with other brands.

Since then, noodle soup has gradually become famous, not only with locals but also with all tourists visiting the pearl island. Stir-fried noodle soup today has become a Phu Quoc specialty, contributing to enriching the cuisine here.

A-C Noodles is increasingly developing with many branches outside Phu Quoc and Ho Chi Minh City. All branches of the restaurant are uniform with spacious space and rustic, ancient design style. The main color tones are yellow and brown and are decorated with lanterns, paintings, bamboo items, etc., creating a warm and cozy feeling.

The restaurant features a modern design and is very clean. Around the walls in the restaurant are decorated with pictures and signs telling about the history of the family-owned Bun Quay Kien Xay dish, how to properly eat vermicelli noodles, and the price of each type of bowl. The spacious layout makes it suitable for groups of friends or families traveling together. However, Kien Xay does not have a designated area for children, and it can often be crowded, requiring self-service.
