  We absolutely loved this restaurant. Everything was incredibly delicious — the Vietnamese Loco Moco and the ribs were especially amazing. The baby clams with basil were not really our thing, but that’s just personal taste. The Uncle Cold Pressed Juice was also fantastic and highly recommended. The place itself is beautiful and clearly made with a lot of love and attention to detail. The design is stylish, cozy, and comfortable. Even though it’s located on a busy street, the atmosphere inside feels calm, quiet, and peaceful. What touched me the most was the story behind this restaurant. It honestly moved me so deeply that I almost cried a little. You can really feel the soul of this place. Definitely one of the most memorable restaurant experiences we’ve had in Saigon! Service is also 10 out of 10!

  Located right in the centre of the city with it's nice atmosphere, the modern style and the helping happy staff being there to fill your glass with water all the time makes this place a great option to visit. The food itself is amazing and belly filling with lots of options even for VG and GF as well. The Lotus & Ginger also worth the try because it's perfect for a dessert.

  The food here was out-of-this-world delicious! The owner stopped by our table and it was clear he is passionate to create the best customer experience possible. He was raised in California, but born in the very house that is now his restaurant (his mom used to sell noodles on the sidewalk in front of the building)! I believe he mentioned coming back to Vietnam to get back to his roots and experience the culture. Try the "kings grilled short ribs" -- you will not be disappointed!!

  Absolute Foodie Must-Visit! This HCMC Gem Blew Me Away. Honestly, finding O Tinh House was the highlight of our trip to Saigon! It’s tucked away just enough to feel like a genuine local secret, and the food here is on another level entirely—not just your average Vietnamese place. The menu is so creative. It's Vietnamese fusion, but they nail the flavors perfectly. You absolutely have to try the Bone Marrow Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Xáo Tủy Bò). The broth is slow-cooked for hours and has this incredible depth and richness. We also loved their Loco Moco twist, which sounds random for HCMC, but trust me, it’s amazing! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and seriously impressive. Beyond the food, the vibe is cozy and clean (major plus for the air conditioning!). The staff are genuinely friendly, and the owner is super welcoming and speaks great English, giving you that perfect hospitality experience. If you’re bored of the typical tourist spots and want a truly exceptional meal that balances tradition with new ideas, just go here. Excellent value for money, too. We’re already planning our next visit!!

  The food here is truly outstanding. The "Beef Bone Marrow Vermicelli" is not only delicious but also beautifully presented—a major plus that sets it apart. The restaurant is clean and airy with a cozy atmosphere, making it ideal for family meals. The staff is incredibly enthusiastic and provides prompt service, even when the place is busy. The owner is also very friendly and hospitable. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food. It is well worth the experience—everyone should give it a try!

  I ordered the Oxford tail, and lemongrass chicken, with the lotus & ginger dessert. The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and attentive. Great service. I highly recommend this place for a nice meal.

  Was a rare 10/10 meal for me. Loco Moco was so delicious. The texture and flavour of each part meshed together really well. Rice was nice and crispy. The lemongrass patty was perfectly spiced and nice and crispy. The sauce really tied the dish together. I wanted another plate right after. The shrimp on sugar cane was the best I’ve had and the spicy dip really complimented it.

  Great spot that's foreigner friendly and a good cleaner introduction to Vietnamese food vs the street carts. The charcoal banh beo was amazing, first time I've seen that spin on that dish. The bun thit noung was good but not great. I'm used to the grilled pork having stronger flavor with more smokiness. All in all a nice place to beat the heat and get some food.
