We went based on tripadvisor reviews n really wanted to like this place. Retro style decor with nostalgic touches was great. We went with the waiter's recommendations n was disappointed by the quality given what we paid. Pomelo salad was prob the best dish we had. The other dishes had not much flavour besides being v salty. Chicken with fish... More

Ushered inside and trying not to fall in the fish pond from the bridge which led from the entrance to the cool and enticing first floor of the restaurant the smells of lemongrass, ginger and garlic wafted softly over us. Having negotiated the bridge inside was a room ( one floor with another above) decorated in a traditional style –... More

We ate here on our 2nd night in Saigon. We asked for recommendations from the waitress and we enjoyed all our dishes. Finished off the banana fritters. Yum. When we got back to our hotel, they told us Brad and Angelina had dined at this restaurant.

The menu is very extensive and too bad there's no pictures, as it's very hard to know what it is, but with some help from the waiter you'll get there, the food was excellent, nice touch on the fruit drinks and vegetable straws. Nice venue in old wooden house with lots of little historic fixtures.

Great food and service. This had been recommended to us by our Vietnamese colleagues and did not disappoint. For our first night in Saigon, it was just was was needed for our group. Not one word of complaint from any of the part of 20.

This place is one of the best places to get proper exposure to the variety of Vietnamese homecooking in a pleasant, western-friendly environment. Many of the dishes available, particularly with the variety of vegetables and diverse ways to prepare them (choice of sauteed, salad, soup, raw, etc), are exactly what my local family makes. And they taste almost - nobody... More

This place has a unique look and feel. It's in an old house (?) or has that feeling to it. The dishes we ordered were small but all so tasty. We just ordered more and tried different things all on the recommendation of fantastic wait staff. The dishes sound simple but the proof is in the pudding as they say.... More

It's not easy to find good food in Ho Chi Minh City if you haven't done enough homework before arriving in this city. This is my second trip to HCMC and I planned it to be a food trip! Shortlisted Cuc Gach Quan after reading many reviews on TA and blogs - it had definitely made me a fan of... More
