Saigon Local Eats

Melissa Agustina: A very good noodle meal. And cha gio!

Simon Tan: Coconut cream sauce on noodles is amazing!

Simon Tan: Crab and pork noodle soup - not for vegetarians!

Simon Tan: Duck with porridge is shockingly flavourful

Simon Tan: Sủi cảo (dumplings) are okay, but mì thịt sợi (a hand shaven noodle soup) was way better

Simon Tan: High quality hotpot with a huge variety of broths, meats, and vegetables. Sour broth is particularly tasty!

Simon Tan: Unbelievably flavourful bun rieu

Simon Tan: Shockingly fast and fulfilling meal. Don't forget to add the fish sauce!

brent k: This is one of the best places --if not THE best place-- to have a "bánh xèo" in Saigon. Unfortunately, it's no longer a secret. Tourists are discovering it, too. Still, they make a mean bánh xèo.

Maria Tran Larsen: Very tasty banh canh cua! Fast service, cheap meal

Simon Tan: Pork chop rice - ask for the "grand slam" and make sure it comes with an egg on top!

Kenneth Tiong: Excellent banh mi with pâté, homemade mayo and different meats. 5/5

Alastair: Ban Xeo are a rare speciality of Vietnamese cuisine - the vegetarian and meat versions alike are worth trying.

Andrew Fraser: Lunch lady never disappoints. Well worth the hype. really lives up to the reputation she has earned. World class Vietnamese soups.

Simon Tan: Super fresh nam vang

Simon Tan: Even the không cay (not spicy) version is delicious! Big portions and a wide variety of beef makes this well worth the trip.
