Binh Tay Market

Great area to explore. Especially upper section. I wouldn’t eat anything or buy anything just good to venture around lots of cool attractions around that area

Did not get to fully explore this market as much as I wanted to but got measured at the first vendor on the right when you enter from the main entrance for an ao dai. The fabric including the labor to make my ao dai cost just under $35 USD. I also went upstairs to purchase more clothing and appreciate the vendors for not being too pushy or pressuring me to buy stuff compared to Ben Thanh Market’s vendors so I bought a lot of clothing here. They were nice when bargaining and fair with their prices after we negotiated. I told the vendors I would gladly return to give them my business again. Next time I come, I would like to see the other side of the market and try the food.

The wholesale market is a unique experience, primarily catering to bulk buyers. They don’t sell individual clothes or shorts, making it clear that only wholesale purchases are available. However, we managed to buy luggage, coffee, and some adorable animation backpacks for my daughter. Interaction with the store was mixed. Some didn’t respond at all to our inquiries, while others politely declined. It was like playing a game of “Guess Who?” with the staff. Nonetheless, we found the coffee to be of superior quality and better prices than Ben Thanh Market. We appreciated the lack of pressure from the seller—finally, a place where we can enjoy our coffee without the hard sell! One store owner informed us that brand of coffee beans, which I showed her in photos, was of poor quality despite its higher price. Guess even bad coffee can come with a high price tag! Overall, it’s a great market if you’re interested in buying food items like nuts, coffee, dried fruits, and dried seafood in bulk.

One of the place to visit when you are at Chinatown. There are more day to day things here compared to Ben Tanh market e.g. kitchen utensils, prayers items, groceries on the first floor, dried food items etc. In terms of clothing, it is less stylish and fashionable, so if you looking for replica and designers stuff, this is not the place. The nuts here are cheaper and price are mainly fixed. We got a few kilos of cashews and macadamia here. The dried shrimp looks fresh and good colour, so we got some as well. In terms of food which is at the back lane, it doesn’t look so appetizing for us so we venture out and stumbled upon a great squid noodle place nearby https://maps.app.goo.gl/1QUNdpbFiuhJbWcd6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Not much variety of stuff. Mostly cheap stuff. Can't really find much food. That there are plenty of dried fruits, candies and dried food

I don't what to say... very local market... not so special, but it is ik for a short visit.
