Ôc Phát — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Only thing that came on time was the beer. The waiter left us while we were ordering, and never came back, so we had to get another waitress. Incredibly loud and obnoxious music. The food was good, but sadly i couldn’t even enjoy the meals together since as I am writing this we still haven’t received our second dish. Such Incredibly rude people that sat by us that only stared and visibly made fun of us as we waited for our food. So seems like the same type of people that worked there also likes to eat there. the food was way to pricey for the amount that you will get which was just too funny that i almost laughed after all the wait and rudeness. We were also denied to order starters that costed 78k and had to order other dishes that costed more by the first waiter. I almost left before even paying and getting our food as i was no longer hungry after waiting so long. I would rather have bought food from some of the people selling fruit by the side of the road than going back. Honestly the worst place i have ever been. Spare yourself time, money and energy and just go to literally anywhere else on the planet. Would give 0...

Staff were persistent for us to sit but once we ordered, the food took super long to come out. After 30mins of waiting we had asked the staff and I assume they may have forgotten half our order. Once the food did come out the veggies were old, the snails were overcooked and the pork crackle served in one of the dishes was so stale it had to be spat out. It was inedible. Extremely disappointed cos the crowd is what drew us here.

Also many girls under the age of 10 will approach you asking for money. Once given to them they will give to a much older man that also is going around handing out scratchies (gambling stuff) for money. One young, young girl even had a week old puppy in her hand, eyes barely open too! :(

If you come here dinner time prepare to be bombarded by people of all walks of life. Selling fruits, scratchies, kids toys, hair stuff, cigarettes. They are quite persistent as well so if you don’t like to be touched or guilt tripped into buying from them. Please avoid this...

On our three week food safari of Saigon. See our recent six week food safari of Bangkok too!

Came here for the blood snails, which were excellent. We even soaked up the juices and sauces with a baguette. The amount of wasabi in the dish was perfectly balanced.

We also had Leng Zaab, which is at least 95% as good as that at Jodd Fairs. The meat was better and more generous, the broth nearly perfect. Believe me, I've eaten a lot of Leng Zaab! This was very very good.

The staff were very helpful, and kind. Easy to recommend. We will certainly be back. A...
