Each meal costs from 10,000 - 20,000 VND depending on the dish. When I ate, I didn't notice anything unusual. There were 3 street vendors, but I bought from the lady sitting at the corner of an alley on Han Thuyen Street near the school, and she was the only one selling both morning and afternoon."
