  Kevin was our waiter and he was amazing! He provided friendly prompt service and all too happy to help with any queries. Beautiful views near the market also.

  We visited this restaurant twice while we stayed in Saigon. We were a group of 8 and we all loved our food, the atmosphere, and the staff made us feel at home. That is why we came back the second night. Harry and the rest of the staff was so kind, when I mentioned it was my birthday, they even celebrated me! 🎂 Also Harry was so kind and helped us prepare the hot pot and made sure it was the best! The squid was so perfectly cooked that it melted in our mouth. Never had it more delicious. Also, the taro cocktail was delicious!!! We highly recommend Soul Ben Thanh restaurant if you are in the area.

  Had a really good experience at Soul Restaurant and Bar. The price point is fair for what you get, not cheap but not something that will make you hesitate ordering a bit more. The place stands out right away because of the festive vibe. The colors, lighting, and overall setup give off a fun, almost Coco-inspired energy, like you walked into a lively scene instead of just a restaurant. It’s a great spot if you want something more than just a typical dinner setting. Food-wise, the Thai and Vietnamese options were the safe and solid picks. Flavors were familiar but done well, so it’s easy to recommend if you’re with a group and want something everyone can enjoy without overthinking the menu. One small detail I really liked was the fruit and flower stand at the entrance. It adds character and makes the place feel more welcoming and thoughtfully put together. Overall, it’s a good choice for casual dinners or catching up with friends, especially if you’re after good food and a lively atmosphere without going over budget.

  We like this restaurant!! We weren't looking for it but I walked out the market and the beautiful flowers and decorations got my attention. Food was really good! We asked for the pork soup Cac Mon Chao to share (it's really big), and glass beef noodles for me and rice beef noodles for my husband. Everything was delicious. We eat outside wich is very nice at this season.

  We had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful Vietnamese cuisine experience, and the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. A special thank you to Tracey, whose service was outstanding. She was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. Her friendly nature and exceptional hospitality made the occasion even more memorable. Highly recommend both the delicious food and the excellent service!

  We had such a lovely experience dining here. We came for dinner on two nights during our trip, and both times Kevin took care of us. He was very attentive, professional, and thoughtful, always making sure everything was perfect. His warm and friendly service made us feel truly welcome. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely return on our next visit. Highly recommended!

  Had the stir-fry beef noodle for dinner. It wasn't anything special but there also wasn't anything wrong with it. Pretty cool spot if you get to sit on the balcony- service was excellent all the servers were very helpful and moved with a purpose. ( Another plus I'll give them is that our food took like 3-4mins to get right after we ordered ) I wouldn't come back but I'm not mad I went
