Ho Chi Minh City Restaurant Tips by arasnosliw

Restaurant Name: Kem Bach Dang

This is some of the best ice cream in Saigon.
There are lots of exotic flavors, making this place an ice cream lover's paradise. Toppings consist of many fresh fruits.

This is a long withstanding shop within proximity to Ben Thanh Market. It is always swarming with people, so it is hard to find a table. Service is quick, the staff is efficient.

Favorite Dish: coconut ice-cream that comes in a young coconut shell topped with strawberries, dragonfruit, raisins and longan.

If you are not that adventurous, there is plain and simple choices available.

Restaurant Name: food stalls

Some of the best, and cheapest food is not found at fancy restaurants...it is found at the tiny food stalls that line the streets of Saigon. Commonly, each stall will only have a couple choices of food, so you need to look around or ask around if you're looking for a certain type of food in particular.
