Saigon is famous for its exotic food culture, from the street food and snack stalls to nice sit-down restaurants. Instead of inundating you with a thousand fascinating food stall options, I'm here to give you a list of eight Vietnamese restaurants in Saigon where you can find all the great food at your fingertips, in a pleasant ambiance.
Is Vietnamese food good? That I can easily answer: YES, 100 times YES! There is no doubt that Vietnamese cuisine is one of the most impressive cuisines in the world. I constantly reiterate my love for Vietnamese food out loud, to my friends, and to anyone I meet and talk to. But when I am asked to recommend a good Vietnamese restaurant in Saigon, in order to have a sit down nicer experience, I hesitate. My cooking skills allow me to cook whatever dishes, yes Vietnamese dishes, I’m craving. I have to admit that I don’t often eat at Vietnamese restaurants which makes it more difficult to give decent recommendations.
But the question still remains. I decided to take a Saigon restaurant tour on my own, to discover the best Vietnamese restaurants in Saigon that I can confidently recommend to my friends, and you, my dear readers. So here you go, a list of the best restaurants in Saigon where you will have the top-notch Vietnamese cuisine experience.
he differing regions of Vietnam produce a variety of ingredients. The Mekong Delta provides a great number of vegetables, herbs, and fruit for the whole country throughout the year. That, in turn, helps us raise animals such as chickens, cows, and pigs. The North of Vietnam, even though it isn’t a large area, adds to this variety with different kinds of fruit or vegetables that can’t grow in the long-lasting heat of the South. This diversity is supported by our differing regions. Central, Northern, and Southern Vietnamese food are all different. And with a long coastal line running north to south, it gives Vietnam a great supply of seafood. This is a big advantage! Vietnam’s unique geography contributes to its fresh, flavorful, and delicious food.
Vietnam has Multiple Religions and Ethnic Communities
Despite Buddhism, the religions that have the most followers in Vietnam are Christianity, Indigenous religions, Hinduism, and Islam. In addition, Vietnam has 54 distinct ethnic groups, each with its own language, lifestyle, and cultural heritage.
Vietnamese’s diversity in culture and cuisine has benefited from this. The most impactful religion is Buddhism. Vegetarian Buddhist monks, along with their dedication to reflect their philosophy in all areas of life, including cooking and particularly spicing foods, has brought the element of balance into Vietnamese cuisine. You can always find the perfect equilibrium of ingredients and flavor in Vietnamese food recipes that make the perfect dish. A fresh spring roll always comes rolled with protein from meat or shrimp and fiber from vegetables, it feels soft and chewy from the rice paper and crunchy from the peanut in the dipping sauce.
Dipping Culture
Vietnamese food culture is unique and the dipping culture is partly why. There are dozens of dipping sauces for food here. I’m talking about fish sauce, soy sauce, peanut sauce, shrimp paste, fermented fish paste, and many other not-translatable sauces. A dish is not complete if you don’t have the right sauce for it.
Address: 20 Nguyen Cong Tru St., Dist. 1, HCMC
Phone Number: 092 868 68 28

It’s pretty easy to have the best food experience in Saigon, especially after reading my article. I hope you have a deeper understanding of Vietnamese food culture and you can be an ambassador and spread this knowledge to the world.
