The short answer
Com Hen Ba Den: what visitors should know first
Worth an early-morning visit if clam rice is on your list, since MS Travel Solo lists breakfast hours only. Clams are the whole menu as far as the guides say, so vegetarians should skip it.

Why it matters
Why Com Hen Ba Den is worth your time
Clam rice is one of the dishes Hue is most associated with, and a short, breakfast-only menu suggests a specialist place and not a general restaurant. That focus is the reason to include Com Hen Ba Den in a food plan.
The evidence is two guides, one with an address and one with hours. We have no menu or price information and could not confirm that it is open today, so check on a map before travelling. The dishes are clam based, so no vegetarian tag applies and the place is not suitable for vegetarian or Jain visitors.

How to experience it
Will Fly for Food lists Com Hen Ba Den at 31 Tran Quang Khai in Phu Hoi, serving com hen and bun hen. MS Travel Solo names the same restaurant and describes it as clam rice and clam vermicelli, with breakfast hours of roughly 6am to 11:30am.
Plan it as a breakfast, not a lunch. Arriving by mid-morning is safer, as a small clam eatery can run out before closing time, though neither guide says so. Order one bowl each of the rice and the vermicelli and share, then add more if you like the flavours.
Com hen is served with herbs, crisp toppings and a small cup of clam broth. Spice is usually adjusted at the table, so ask for chilli on the side if anyone in your group avoids heat.
