Most Popular Vietnamese food in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

November 7, 2019 Leida Jutras

Find out what Vietnamese restaurants to try in Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam's bustling largest city sets the cultural and economic pace for the country. The former Saigon boasts charming French colonial architecture and wide boulevards, usually thronged and choked with traffic. Taxis are an option for seeing the sprawling city. The War Remnants Museum shows the Vietnam War through Vietnamese eyes. Don't miss the impressive Jade Emperor Pagoda. Go to the frenetic Ben Thanh Market for food, flowers or frogs. Tour through the Mekong Delta, past rice paddies and houseboats.

Noir. Dining In The Dark

Think of modern society and images of shining cities and glowing screens come to mind. Every facet of daily life depends on sight. How would your other senses react to dining in complete darkness? You will discover the stunning truth about how people tend

This might sound scary to some, but I would recommend that everyone tries this. It is an experience like none other. It makes you appreciate having the gift of sight, and hi-tens your taste buds while dining. Everyone we encountered were amazing, including the mute staff. Even though they couldn't talk they were full of smiles and warmth. I especially appreciated our visually impaired server Tan, he was so descriptive when explaining things to us, that it helped with the uncomfortable part of not being able to see.My one piece of advice is, MAKE SURE you go go the WC prior to dining. We were not asked if we needed to go before entering the dining room, and I did need to go mid-way through. You can't just get up and go, so we rushed through the end of our meal a little, so I could use the WC.

I'd like to commend this restaurant or accommodating our group of 26 - 20 students and 6 staff. The restaurant was of excellent quality and reasonable price. They served our food quickly and efficiently and got every drink order (which I know is a nightmare for a group this size) absolutely spot on. I would love to come back to this restaurant without 20 students in tow!!! Thank you very much for one of our favourite meals of our tour.Hi Ejaneczko,It's our pleasure to serve you at Soul Ben Thanh and always a happiness to see you having great time. Please do visit us in near future since we will release soon new menu with more offer.Cheers,Soul Ben Thanh

We, 2 adults and 2 kiddos (6&4yo) só enjoyed our Shamballa experience! Just the interior design and the feel of the place is a treat. We shared the soup, veggies freshly thrown into the stock at your table and then it takes 20 minutes on the heater. YUM ! Whilst we waited we had some of their fresh springrolls which are also truly amazing. Husband said: ‘if this is what vegetarian can be like, I’ll become a vegetarian today’. Quite a statement for my carnivore Dear Susannel-H,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are ecstatic to hear that you had a wonderful time with. One of our big goals is to inspire our guests and show them the various flavours of Vietnamese vegetarian cuisine, and we are delighted to hear the comments made by your husband.
