Quan An Ngon - Ho Chi Minh City - Restaurants, Cafes & Food Reviews

For those with only a few days in Saigon, I reccommend stopping in Quan An Ngon..so does Lonely Planet, National Geographic, and I'm sure others, so there will be other travelers present.

But, regardless, this restaurant offers Vietnamese specialized street food in a formal restaurant setting. For example, their menu includes pho, bun xeo, bun bo hue, etc, which can be found on the street, but not in one location. This makes it ideal for those with a group who is willing to share: the best way to experience this restaurant is to order many small dishes and share them among the group.

The price is right too, very cheap for a restaurant setting in District 1, especially a location so close to many of the tourist stops. The various "vendors" are set up around the restaurant preparing their specialities. Thusly, you can take a stroll and observe the different dishes as they are prepared.
