Often referred to as “Rum Bar” but it’s actually Rượu, which is Vietnamese rice wine. Go with 3+ people, get 1 bottle with Coke & limes. It’s strong, you’ll get drunk.
It’s not always open & serving, you’ll see the tables on the sidewalk if it is.
Go with friends and day drink. Indoor sledding, haunted house, small water park, 25,000 crocodiles, lots of things to see and it’s completely empty usually.
Well-located apartment building for booking an Airbnb. Very nice pool, coffee shop, wine/grocery store on the grounds. Walking distance to many great local food spots, neighborhood bars, coffee shops, nice restaurants etc.
Best espresso martini in Saigon, not listed on the menu but they’ll make it - the Vietnamese coffee makes it really special (enjoyed by both Kahlua haters & lovers).
Sometimes they have great dj’s and it’s packed, sometimes very empty. But a great place to get cocktails with friends.
Best dim sum in Ho Chi Minh, some favorites:
- XO Sauce Rice Rolls
- Shrimp Dumplings
- Steamed Minced Pork Dumpling Shanghai Style (soup dumpling)
- Shumai dumplings
- Pan fried radish cake with dried meat
- Deep fried bean curd skin roll w/ shrimp
- Peking duck (large group)
- Steamed custard cream bun w/ egg yolk
Cong Cafe is famous for its coconut coffee and it really is a must-try. This location is great because it’s in a little hidden shopping complex with lots of cute local clothing brands & thrift stores.
Rooftop bar that screens movies onto the building next door on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. Check the instagram weekly, lots of independent/international films.
Banh Cuon Trung (eggy rice rolls filled with pork & mushroom - eat with herbs and fish sauce).
Great for breakfast, really nice owners. Tucked down a small hem (alley).
Upstairs from Captain Phook, a little quieter. Nice wine & cocktails. They always screen movies on the wall & play records. You can pay to choose a record from their collection & play it.
Nice pho spot that got a Michelin nod. Their fried chicken is quite good & their home made hot sauce is amazing. Not a huge fan of their pho-tine (Viet-Canadian) dish but it’s a novelty. The owner Mama Dung is so nice.
