Best Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City (2026)

The restaurants of Ho Chi Minh City cover every budget, and some of the best meals cost very little. Specialists that have made one dish for decades are the backbone of the food scene: Pho Hoa Pasteur has served beef noodle soup since 1968, Banh Xeo 46A has fried its giant pancakes for more than seventy years, Com Tam Ba Ghien grills pork chops for broken rice, and Tiem Com Tho Chuyen Ky has made the same silkie chicken soup since 1948. Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is the city's most famous banh mi shop.

At the other end of the scale, the Michelin Guide awards stars to Anan Saigon, which reworks street food with modern technique, Akuna, with its tasting menu around an open kitchen, and Long Trieu, a Cantonese dining room at The Reverie. In between, Cuc Gach Quan serves home-style Vietnamese cooking in a garden setting, and Vi Que Kitchen offers vegan versions of regional dishes. Book the starred restaurants well ahead, bring cash for the street food specialists, and order several dishes to share where you can, which is the best way to try a range of the city's food.
