Viet An - Ho Chi Minh city

Apon this place, while actually looking for another restaurant. but was happy that we did. friendly staff. updated by previous review on 2022-11-12

The environment, the family owners and the eating are all a real experience. eating is Hue style, one of the imperial kings of vietnam was vegetarian and so Vietnamese vegan recipes bloomed to make dishes for the king. the jackfruit in tonpot is smokey, sticky and amazing, the rice paper rolls are soft on the outside with crispy roasted jicama on the outside. the eaten rice is fruity and tasty and the tofu dishes are all delicious. we have brought many friends here in the course of the years and come back.

The black ice-cream and the spring rolls (fried) were really good (5 stars,) the cocosnuss was simply perfect ripe. the main dishes were pretty good, but not 5 stars for my sense. could get a total of 5 stars, although I think that the "perfect something " wasn't there. also large service!

Kind of surprised to see that the last review for this place was years ago...We lived in HCMC about three years ago and used to come here all the time. We were delighted to find it still here (not so with our other, much cheaper, favourite: Phap Hoa. So sad to see that 's gone! Anyone know what happened to it? Their food was AMAZING! . Anyway, the food here is still incredibly good. The owner is lovely, and the whole atmosphere is really warm and welcoming. The reviewer that complained about the parking must be talking about somewhere else. There 's a lovely man who will watch your bike for you and you can tip him if you like, but there 's never been any 'extortion ' going on when we 've been there (and seriously? Extorting 10,000 VND? Blimey, time to check your privilege, stranger . A great restaurant with sensationally good food. The name is now Nha Hang Chay Viet An, though (the signage has changed , but it 's exactly the same place with the same menu.

This place is lovely the staff are so friendly and attentive and the food is excellent. My tops is the pho, which I personally think is one of the best in the city. The prices are a little high (65k for pho, 85 90k for a dish), but for a eat in place like this, it's par for the course. Totally recommend!
