Ho Chi Minh City Restaurant Tips by praticaltraveler

Restaurant Name: Quan An Ngon

This place is in front of the old Presidential Palace. Good selection of viet cousine. Place is clean and the staff are accomodating, avoid the rush of lunch crowd if possible. We ate lunch here while waiting for the Palace to open in the afternoon. Write down he name of the palce and show it to the taxi driver.
