Tang so lon sounds good
Google says " tang so lon" most likely refers to Cháo Lòng (Vietnamese pork offal porridge)

Yes — it’s Vietnamese. “Top Bán Chạy” means roughly “Best Sellers” or “Top-Selling Dishes.”

Some of these are quite local/traditional dishes, so the translations are approximate:

Lòng xào dưa — Stir-fried pork intestines with pickled mustard greens
Top mỡ sốt cà chua — Crispy pork fat cracklings in tomato sauce
Tai heo bóp chanh — Pig’s ear salad with lime/lemon dressing
Tầng sọ lợn — Pig brain / pork skull meat dish (a bit unclear, but definitely pork-head related)
Hoa lý xào thịt bò — Stir-fried daylily flowers with beef
Chim câu xào cà — Stir-fried pigeon with aubergine/eggplant
Cơm cháy kho quẹt — Crispy scorched rice with caramelised dipping sauce
Bê cuốn cải — Veal wrapped in mustard greens
Nầm cháy tiêu xanh — Grilled/fried beef udder with green peppercorn sauce
So yes… this is very much a “proper local Vietnamese” menu rather than tourist pizza-and-burgers territory.

That's pretty hardcore eh
I'd give the beef, the veal and the pigeon a go, and maybe the pig's ear salad and the cracklings

Not sure I'd try it
Probably would though I think.

Balut is a definite no. Also that French ortalan dish where they're drowned in cognac. I think that's illegal now anyway

I took a handy picture of a menu 20 years ago, it might help to translate
