Tân Định Market

This market is great! A lot quieter than Ben Thành market which also means that the items are a lot cheaper as well. There’s not a lot of flashy items to buy like branded things but a lot of basics and dried food and snacks. I love that the vendors weren’t in your face trying to get a sale like they are in Ben Thành market. If you need socks and tops, dresses or fabrics, this is the place to go. The best part about this market is the food vendors the entrance. The food was delicious such as hủ tiếu, cháo lòng, bún bò Huế and other tasty dishes. There is a couple of very popular chè (dessert and drinks) vendors there as well.

If you want to buy food as souvenirs or to just munch on, this market is for you. There are aisles and aisles of stalls selling dried fruits, nuts, and sweets. We stumbled upon a stall with a very accommodating lady who gave us a bunch of free tastes. The prices here are a lot cheaper than Ben Thanh especially for the nuts since this market is catered more for the locals. Shop owners still have very good english though so language wouldn’t be an issue. I’ll be posting the friendly lady’s shop and if you like local sweets and candies, you should give her a visit. 💕

It’s a very local market. More local than Ben Tanh. Can be abit complicated. There are stalls selling various dried goods and a large section with many stalls selling clothes. I come mainly to buy coffee beans. They are way cheaper than those at supermarkets and cafes. There’s also a wet market with dubious hygiene standards lol. Anw it’s quite a sight. Worth a visit!

There’s a wide variety of things and the prices are reasonable, just remember to bargain. You can find many Vietnamese specialties here, and they’re a great deal.

Great market with many stalls selling fresh veggies and fruits. Also many street food vendors that open late into the night.

A local market with more affordable fresh and dried fruits, nuts, clothing and similar items to what you'd find at Ben Thanh Market.

This was what I was looking for when I asked a friend to take me to a local market. They had all this beautiful fresh produce and I even got to walk through the wet Market where they were prepping fish. I saw mini mangoes here and actually I went back to buy some as they were the best mangoes I've ever had! The price was amazing since this Market is geared towards locals. Understand that they will not speak English and that everything is also done with cash.

Not a great deal to see here. Lots of clothes and fruit, some fish but nothing worth buying for me. Highly recommend Ben Thanh market instead. Close to Pink Church which is worth going to
