Visiting Vietnam

Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Below is my list of the best restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City:

Pho 2000

If you’re looking for simple, no-frills pho, Pho 2000 is the best restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. The food is fresh and cheap, and the pho is delicious. Try the coffee, too.

L’Usine

Part fashion boutique, part art gallery, and part cafe, L’Usine is an expat enclave in Ho Chi Minh City. The food is delicious and will leave you wanting more. Although it belongs on the list of best restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, don’t expect to see much Vietnamese cuisine on the menu.

Cuc Gach Quan

Located in a renovated old home on a quiet street, Cuc Gach Quan is easy to miss. But it shouldn’t be, because the home-style Vietnamese food is excellent, and the decor is funky and unique. Climb the ladder across the small pond to sit at one of the cozy tables upstairs.

Tib

Tucked away behind a busy street, Tib is known for its beautiful atmosphere more than for its food. Service can be slow and food so-so, but still the multitudes flock to Tib and call it one of the best restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City.

Ho Chi Minh City Taxi

Taxis from Ho Chi Minh City Airport to the city center are the easiest and fastest way to get from the airport to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.

There are official taxi ranks outside of the arrivals halls at Ho Chi Minh City Airport. Taxis are metered and controlled by law, and you will receive a card with your taxi’s number on it when you get inside.

The average cost of a taxi from Ho Chi Minh City Airport to the city center is 85,000 to 120,000 dong, depending on where you final destination is located.

Taxis from Ho Chi Minh City Airport to the city center take anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic and where you alight. If you arrive during busy commuting hours, your journey will take longer than if you arrive late at night or very early in the morning.
