Saigon Food Guide: 25 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Ren and I are planning on staying longer-term in Vietnam. Though we do feel that Hanoi is the more liveable city, there’s no question in our minds that the best food in the country is in Saigon. Hanoi has my beloved bun cha and ca phe trung but overall, we prefer the food in Ho Chi Minh City.

We published the first edition of this Saigon food guide in 2017 and it listed ten eateries. Ten wasn’t nearly enough to do this delicious city justice, so I recently went back to Vietnam to finish what I started. I spent a month in the country and almost a week in Ho Chi Minh City looking for the best restaurants, street food stalls, and cafes this city had to offer. The result is this new and improved guide featuring 25 of the city’s best eateries.

If you’re spending time in Saigon and enjoy…
