Tasty food

A decent range of soups. The pho was very tasty. Friendly owner who wanted to speak in his limited English to make he welcome.

Really tasty pho!

This was the first time we had had pho in Vietnam and it tasted really good! It came with a big plate of herbs and some lime and chilli. As it was our first time trying pho in a local place we weren't really sure what to do in terms of ordering as there was no menu and the lady serving didn't speak English and our Vietnamese is embarrassingly non existent, so the experience was a little confusing. We would have liked to try some of the other foods on display but we didn't realise they were there / available. I would go back if I return to HCMC.

Pros: Delicious pho, Friendly staff

Cons: Need to be confident communicating with locals

The best pho in the city

This pho place is down an alleyway but very easy to find. We ordered two phos plus a couple of items that were on display in the cabinet - EVERYTHING was delicious. The items we got from the display had a nice combination of flavours of sweet and savory, with great texture, and the phos were simply the best we've tried in Saigon. Actually, in all of Vietnam (to be fair, we didn't try much pho in many other places)!😄The prices cannot be beat, it was only 30K VND for each pho! So amazing! And the taste packs so much more value. Highly recommend!

Pros: Delicious food, Very cheap

Cons: None

Exceptional pho

Best to come in the morning when the counter is full of goodies and fresh product.
We've had the pho on 3 separate occasions and it has been delicious every time. It's great to watch the food being prepared fresh in front of you and the antics of the owner and staff is like watching a TV show. Always something going on.

They have a dish like a tofu onion terrine. Be sure to try a piece it's wonderful.

Pros: Cheap, fresh and filling.

Great pho

I’m not sure what other things they do as I didn’t look at the menu and just ordered the pho. Really tasty, cheap and the staff speak a little English. Would go back.

local eatery

hidden in a little alley, it is definitely more of a local spot. Incredible pho with lots of fresh herbs. Menu is only in vietnamese, but you can just point at what you want.
If you’re vegan, stay away from the fried won tons. Unfortunately, I tried one and I’m pretty sure I tasted some egg :(

Pros: fresh, cheap

Local, amazing vegan mushroom pho

This place is just a few mins walk from my current apartment and I go here at least once a day. Great mushroom pho noodle soup, great quang mi (curry noodle soup), all including an abundance of fresh herbs, lime and chilis, and veggies on the side. Freshly fried dumplings, fresh spring rolls, refreshing iced tea and... I've never spent over 50k here pax. My new go-to place for any meal.

Pros: Cheap, healthy, nutritious

Great pho!

Pho Chay Nhu is a really small and inconspicuous place in the center of the city. I was running errands nearby and stopped by for lunch. I ordered Pho for 35,000 VND and really enjoyed it. Everything is vegan except for yogurt.

Pros: pho for 35,000 vnd, really filling

one of my fav spots in hcmc

Luckily my temporary office was right by this family mom n pop place. I would come here daily, super friendly service, but next time I wanna bring a local friend to help me order something new. One time I went there they have a great variety of mock meats. Then the next days it wasn’t there. Can’t wait on my next trip to try it again!

Pros: cheap, friendly, loads of great veggies to throw i

LOCAL

I went here with my sister while our friend was in the emergency room with salmonella poisoning. We'd been up since 8 am and hadn't had anything to eat, so coming here was a great idea. The place is small, and has plastic chairs. The owners were happy to see us and seated us immediately with a menu. I had the vegan pho and my sister had stir fried noodles. We tried some of the fried dumplings that were on the table. I thought they probably were free, but they're not. I think they're approximately 3K each. The food was delicious, and such huge portions that even though we were starving, we still had enough to bring back for our other friend.

Pros: huge portions, delicious, seemingly healthy

pretty good if you’re in the area

When I sat down the very sweet man working there just smiled and asked me what I wanted. He brought me the pho. It definitely got spicier towards the end of the bowl! The mock meat was amazing but the broth was pretty basic. If you’re near, check it out; I might not come from across the city to go though.

Pros: nice, filling

One of my favourite leaves to eat in Saigon

Simple local food stall in a shop house. Delicious vegan pho and other local delicacies, which is what you want went visiting Saigon. Herbal teas are sweet and cooling too.

Pros: Best vegan I've had in 2 years in VN., Friendly and affordable.
