Ốc Bà Cô Lốc Cốc — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

My best oc' meal this holiday so far. The place feels relaxed, casual, air conditioned and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Order via an iPad, images included, prices were okay. We ate for 1.2tr VND for 2 people.

Shellfish was quite fresh, anything in tamarind sauce was good. Massive selection, staff help with recommendations. Some were less impressive, but no bad dishes. Quail eggs in tamarind sauce was highlight, ran out when we wanted to reorder. I wouldn't recommend oyster though, stick to oc here, there are better places. Would recommend and...

Update 10 July 2024. They moved to new location which is close to downtown, in the 2nd floor of the nice house in the alley, lots of parking spot. They changed the chef I guess, so much the dishes were much tasty. Still very quick service. Decent price. Very nice decor. Recommend the oysters.

Variety of seashells, snails.... Mussels.... Grill, fried or steam..... They're all delicious. Fresh, tasty and reasonable price. Nice staff, helpful and attentive. Not much choices of drink though. Small place but...

Nhà hàng Được đánh giá Michelin nhưng ứng xử với khách theo kiểu quán không cần khách. Khi đưa bill lại sau khi check bạn nhân viên cũng không hề có một lời xin lỗi.

The food is delicious but the service is terrible. Our table ordered hotpot, but the restaurant ran out of vermicelli without informing us. We waited a very long time for the food to arrive, only to be told then that there was no vermicelli left and we had to use instant noodles instead. When it came time to pay, we checked the bill and noticed an overcharge for wet tissues. However, when we pointed this out to the staff, they responded with an attitude as if we were lying. They didn’t bother to verify the actual situation but insisted that we were wrong about the number of tissues used. This is a Michelin-rated restaurant, yet they treat customers as if they don’t need them. Even after checking the bill, the staff returned it without a single...
