Prem Bistro and Cafe

Full time Traveler review My wife and I were blown away by the meal we had. I tried the Nori Tacos and the wife had the Chickpeas Burger. The tastes of both dishes were phenomenal. The menu should really be called a catalog with the massive selection of dishes and we’ll return to “evaluate” several more. This restaurant has taken the top spot on our personal HCM food tour! For us full time travelers the WiFi is above expectations! Enjoy! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 WiFi: 5

The vegetarian restaurant is on the 4th floor, accessible by elevator. I ordered 4 dishes and everything was delicious and fine except for the "Bowl of Prem", which had an overpowering smell of fennel that was hard to eat. Moreover, the dish was called Bowl of Prem but was served in a plate which was quite inconsistent. The staff were mostly indifferent to guests. On the ground floor, they sell drinks and pastries which were average and nothing special. Overall, the staff on both the ground floor and 4th floor seemed unfriendly and indifferent to customers.

It's a gem! We stumbled upon Prem randomly on a Google search. Then we had a simple yet delightful dinner: pho chay, banh beo chay, juice, and hot lime ginger turmeric tea (my favorite!). The menu is diverse, the food quality and presentation are amazing. The staff is kind and friendly. The atmosphere is chill, stylish, and respectful yet comfortable. Would love to go back!

This restaurant blows my mind everytime I visit. Food taste is so unique, you can never find this taste anywhere else 😍 if you are in Saigon, dont forget to check this place out. Desserts are also so good 😍

Everything was going well here until we found a hair (looked very curly ) in our food. They were kind enough to deduct the dish from the final invoice. Nice selection of foods, other than the hair, was quite tasty . Nice restaurant. Clean and nice concept . People on the table next to us were super super loud though

While the service and atmosphere were pleasant, the food—our primary reason for visiting—was disappointing. We ordered two vegetarian burgers with high expectations, but unfortunately, they fell far short. The presentation on wooden plates was inviting, but both the burgers and sweet potato fries arrived cold. The first bite did not improve the experience—the patty, egg, and cheese lacked any freshness or flavor, making the texture feel bland and unappealing. Surprisingly, the side salad was the only enjoyable part of the meal. Given the restaurant’s appealing menu and decent ambiance, it’s unfortunate that the taste did not match the expectations. Attention to food quality is essential, and this visit left us disappointed.

The restaurant is favored for its one-stop-shop concept, offering an extensive menu with numerous options. I am particularly impressed by the vegan and dessert selections. When visiting this establishment, I highly recommend trying the Fried Tofu and Coconut Scrambles with Vegan Fish Sauce, as well as the Water Celery and Cochayuyo Soup. A minor drawback is that the restaurant occasionally experiences staff shortages.

This place in Saigon is my go-to for vegan delights. Whenever the craving hits, I bring friends to experience their innovative menu. Unlike its sister restaurant, Pi, which focuses on Vietnamese vegan dishes, this spot offers Western-inspired options. The pizza is a standout—the light, airy, and crispy base is topped with fresh, flavorful ingredients that might just rival some of Pizza 4P’s creations. The hamburger isn’t your run-of-the-mill vegan burger either; there’s a unique twist that makes it unforgettable. And don’t get me started on the tiramisu—it’s dreamy, with a soft, creamy texture and rich taste, though the alcohol might be a bit strong for some. Other dishes can be hit or miss, but that’s probably just my taste leaning towards Western vegan food, haha. However, the service needs some improvement. The staff didn’t help much with the confusing menu, and my appetizers arrived after the main courses. Overall, despite the service hiccups, it’s a gem for vegan food lovers.
