Nhà Tú - Việt Nam Restaurant

Everything about this place screams awesome! When you arrive, it’s a little way down the alley. The decor says chill out, from the tiled bar to the vintage real wood chairs. The service was on point, giving you enough time to look at the menu, but not to wonder where they are. Now the food… this was the most home style meal I’ve had. I did the BBQ ribs wife had the baby shrimp and we shared corn cakes, chicken and lemongrass, and Ming bean soup. This was an amazingly fantastic last lunch in Saigon!

We ordered raw shrimp and spring rolls. The raw shrimp is served with vermicelli, herbs, and spices, which turned out to be a delightful surprise. I usually don’t enjoy raw shrimp, but the combination of spiciness and sourness made it the perfect starter for our meal. The spring rolls were also unique compared to the typical ones, with a higher proportion of meat to herbs, giving them a heartier flavor. For our main course, we had the oyster hotpot, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the herbs paired perfectly with the oysters, enhancing the overall experience. The service was excellent as well. The staff were attentive and seemed to anticipate our needs before we even asked, making the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!

Great restaurant for inviting sincere friends or importantly guests from overseas, etc. Ms.Tu, the owner of the fantastic restaurant is so talented and kind. The hotpot with beef and oyster is obviously must-try dish. Amazing. The restaurant is also a good fruit shop during day time but only when they have good ones. So professional. Hope more and more people enjoy the authentic Vietnamese cuisine here.

The best we had in Ho Chi Minh. Comfortable, delicate, and clean. In Taoyuan, Taiwan, there are many Vietnamese restaurants. The ones we’ve tried before tend to leave a strong first impression, like Vietnamese pancakes that have an intense buttery flavor from the first bite. While delicious at first, it becomes overwhelming by the fifth bite. However, Nha Tu’s dishes are refined and smooth, allowing you to enjoy every bite from start to finish. It feels like having a meal at home. Every dish was handled with precision. The chili sauce for the mussels was mild and soothing, leaving us feeling comfortable even the next day. It’s a shame that with only two of us, we couldn’t order more dishes—otherwise, we would have loved to try the oyster hotpot. We were walk-in customers and arrived just after 5:00 PM. Within 10 minutes of our arrival, there were already customers hoping for a last-minute table, and the next available slot was after 10:00 PM. We were very lucky. However, we noticed a reserved table next to us for guests who were maybe supposed to arrive around 6:30 PM or 7:00 PM. By the time we left, they still hadn’t shown up. It was unfortunate that the restaurant had to turn away several walk-in customers because of this. Perhaps if the reservation slots were set at 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 8:00 PM, instead of 6:30 PM, 7:00 PM, and 7:30 PM, it might help manage table turnover more efficiently. This way, you could potentially accommodate 2-3 rounds of guests in one evening. Just a small suggestion—I’m not sure if it’s helpful. I hope we can visit again soon!

Below everage level. When we talk about authentic Vietnamese foods, the food here is not good. If your group is more than 4, then you need to order 2 each. Otherwise, 2 will have & the rest just sit & see. I am 51 & I spend all my life with Vietnamese foods both north to south what I can see in this restaurant are foreign tourists & young Vietnamese so if you would like to have authentic Vietnamese foods is it a good place to come?

Nha Tu is an absolute must-visit in Ho Chi Minh City. I had dinner there last night, and it was easily the best meal of my entire trip. The Vietnamese pancake and bun cha stole the show—bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that I’m still dreaming about. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with lovely decor that sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff were incredibly kind, and the owner—a delightful woman—made it a point to check in and ensure everything was just right. We indulged in 4-5 generously portioned dishes, paired with plenty of cold beers, and couldn’t believe the bill came to less than $30. Exceptional quality and value! If you’re in town, don’t miss this hidden gem. Nha Tu is the kind of place that makes your trip unforgettable. (It’s a shame that the misplaced bad reviews on here lower the overall rating of the restaurant - don’t believe them they don’t know what they’re talking about.)

Happy to have found this place. We dined here twice during our stay in HCM. We tried the lau Thai style, canh chua, spring roll, nem roll, ca kho, banh xeo, fried mackerel (I think), and bbq pork rolled in rice paper. I really wanted to try their tofu with lemongrass but they ran out. Overall my favorite was the canh chua and banh xeo. I would have preferred if the lau was with fish. The portions are a bit on the smaller side. The restaurant is clean, indoor/outdoor so ac is not really strong. I would definitely come back here.

It's so sad that I only found this wonderful restaurant at the end of my 60 days in Saigon. I seldom find a menu that showcases as many items that I would like to try. I came for lunch yesterday and was so impressed, I have returned for lunch again today even though it's a long walk from my hotel. Yesterday, I sat inside. Today, I took one of the two outdoor tables. The food is simply presented but packed full of subtle flavours. Yesterday, I started with the fried spring rolls that were satisfyingly crisp to bite into. These came with a dipping sauce, sliced raw chillies, and delicious fresh herbs. I followed this with a baby clam and morning glory broth. After two months of eating pho bo tei each day, initially, I found it a bit bland, but soon my pallet adjusted to the delicate taste. The sweet baby clams reminded me of my youth. I grew up on the Gower coast in South Wales, and as children, we would collect such morsels when the tide changed. Today, I have opted to start with Banh Khot, the bite-sized version of its big brother, Banh Xeo (which I also love). Today's main course will be mackerel cooked with tamarind. Oh, my mouth is already watering. I had Google searched where to eat clams in Ho Chi Minh and had no idea that Nha Tu had been awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The Michelin guide inspectors certainly nailed this one. It is a true star among a city of thousands of fabulous restaurants. I have eaten a lot of banh khot over the years on my many visits to Vietnam. Now I know they were inferior to what just arrived at my table. The turmeric and coconut batter was beautifully crispy on the bottom, with a slightly gooey centre, each disc crowned with a fresh prawn. What can I say about my mackerel, Wow! Simply wow! A generous traunche of fish, lovingly cooked and presented with a taste suitable for gods. Tip: Take the optional steamed rice. It really rounded out the dish. I score this restaurant a solid 10 out of 10. I can't remember the last time I was able to do this!
