  This place blew us away. The salt coffee and egg coffee were both out of this world, genuinely some of the best coffee I’ve had. Service was beyond amazing. Rose went above and beyond to accommodate my vegetarian needs and even walked us through how to eat the food properly, which made the whole experience so much better. Foreigners shouldn’t shy away from coming here!!!You’ll be treated incredibly well. The space itself was clean and beautiful, right down to the plates. Highly recommend.

  We had a fabulous lunch and would highly recommend the Duck Breast. All the food was superb and the Passionfruit Margaritas delicious! We also had friendly attentive service by a lovely waitress whose pretty name was Happy 😃

  Perfect place! Yu was amazing for our group. I have severe food allergies, but this was not an issue for the team.

  We had a wonderful time at Vị Sài Gòn Restaurant & Café, and it turned out to be one of the best meals we had during our stay in Saigon. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, clean tables, and friendly staff who make you feel at home without being intrusive. It’s the kind of place that feels both local and a bit refined at the same time. We started with the shrimp soup, which was absolutely delicious. The broth was full of depth — light yet flavorful, with a perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet notes. The shrimp were fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. Every spoonful felt comforting and rich, the kind of dish that makes you slow down just to enjoy every bite. It really showed the kitchen’s attention to detail and quality ingredients. Next, we had the caramelized pork ribs served in a small clay pot, and they were simply outstanding. The meat was soft, juicy, and perfectly glazed in a sticky sauce that balanced sweetness and saltiness beautifully. You could tell the dish was prepared with care, and the flavor was deep and authentic — exactly what you expect from Vietnamese comfort food. Then came one of the most interesting dishes of the night: thin slices of meat served with rice paper, herbs, and vegetables, so you could roll your own wraps at the table. It was a fun and interactive experience — everything was incredibly fresh, from the fragrant herbs to the crisp lettuce and well-seasoned meat. Rolling the rice paper yourself made the meal even more enjoyable, and it gave us that authentic Vietnamese dining experience that’s hard to find elsewhere. To finish, I ordered a coconut smoothie, and it was the perfect ending. It tasted like real coconut — creamy, smooth, and naturally sweet, not artificial at all. It was refreshing, perfectly chilled, and full of tropical flavor. I would honestly go back just for that smoothie alone. Everything we tried was excellent, and the prices were fair considering the quality and presentation. The staff were polite and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and pleasant. The only small downside — and the reason I’m giving four stars instead of five — is that when I went to the bathroom, there were no towels or paper to dry my hands. It’s a small detail, but in a place that otherwise feels so well cared for, it stood out. Still, that’s a very minor issue compared to how good the food was. Overall, Vị Sài Gòn Restaurant & Café is an excellent spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, friendly service, and a cozy dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it and will definitely return next time I’m in Saigon.

  Not sure why such high ratings but as an asian American, the food is terribly disappointing. The bad: Bo luc lac should be renamed sweet and sour beef. Hanoi grilled pork is the gamiest pork I’ve ever tasted in my life. Did the pork go bad? Northwest grilled chicken was tasteless, was not marinated at all. The lotus leaf appetizer was suppose to have prawns or shrimp. I didn’t see either. The good: the caramelized braised fish was good. The mushroom eggplant was fine but only 4 pieces? This place was full of foreigners. Not for the Asian palette.

  I'm a group of tourists who happened to have the opportunity to eat at this place. I was confused to see the rating of this place so high on Google reviews. In fact, based on my experience, the food here is very bad, spring rolls burnt and sour, fried squid tough like rubber, eggs still raw, pineapple that was not properly peeled because there was still skin attached, and many more. Maybe this restaurant is smart to work with tour guides so that the restaurant can be busy. But my review is not recommended, especially based on only reviews from Google.
