Asiana Food Town (Chợ Ẩm Thực Dưới Lòng Đất) — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Located in the park between Pham Ngu Lao and Le Lai Streets the motorcycle and car parking entrance is opposite the Cosmo Hotel which can be located by typing in the Duna Hotel travel agency into Google maps . The whole complex is subterranean so you can miss it if you're walking along either of the streets . Access can be gained from the lowest level of motorbike parking via the decorated metal double door . Parking is reasonably priced now but expect to pay over 10,000vnd . It's great to use it for a few hours . There's also some above ground motorcycle parking at the Western end of the park for half the price run by the police . The food court is great with good quality food to everyone's taste including Indian, and Western styles, along with good traditional Viet, sushi, and vegetarian. There's also plenty of things to drink there . My favourite is the Nuoc Mia (sugar cane juice) from an outlet on the extreme corner of the lower level near to the Co.op supermarket . Toilets are located on the same wall at the other end to the Co.op. The food is more expensive than most of the city but it's still cheap for Westerners. The food court is air conditioned and fanned so the ambience feels like you're outside with an occasional cool breeze albeit at a lot cooler temperature . This place is especially good during the wet season . There's also a clothing market there, and a good range of sun glasses. Prices are higher in Q1 for everything but if one converts to your own currency it's normally good value for money . The complex is open from 10am to 10pm seven days a week . It can get very busy in the evening but one can usually find somewhere to sit . One just orders and pays directly to the vendor by cash, some will take a card also . He'll give you a board with a number on and he'll ask you the general direction of where you're seated . There's also another smaller Streetfood area on the outside Eastern side of Ben Thanh Market which is good for lunch and operates in the same way . The road works for the metro line has been there for years around Ben...

This is a must for any visiting tourist to ho Chi Minh.. Its underground... And packed with clothes stalls. Handbag stalls. And assortment of souvenirs... And fight in the centre is a good hall with most probably about 60 different food restaurants. From Indian food to Thai food to Vietnam and Japanese food.. All taste are catered for. The idea is you grap a table. And then you walk round all the food stalls order your food. They give u a number which you put on your table and when your order is ready they deliver it to your table. As easy as that. There also a huge range of drinks stall from juices to beer to smoothies... And loads of traditional deserts. So I think everyone's pallet can be acomodated... I had the Indian Street food and it was amazing so fresh and filling. And so inexpensive. All in all if you don't know what you want then this is the place because you can try a assortment of food for very little cost.. A good experience. We come here many times and also bring the family as it also a new experience for them as well. We returned here this week. Found it to be more streamlined. A few good shops have gone.. But what stalls remain are good. Definitely notice a increase in prices from last year.. But still a good quality of food on offer so still worth a vist even though there are less choices than...

I originally went here to find some Chinese based groceries to cook for my partner. I am American and love to cook as well as enjoy good restaurants. The location is inside the Asian Town Mall underground. Yes, it the super market inside is small and is reasonably priced considering some items can be found cheaper outside of its doors at local shops or farmers/fruit vendors. However, it does offer some good quick selections not found in other others. The underground is not huge and above is going through a construction phase. The selection of food in the restaurants is good and is priced reasonably considering the outside restaurants. You can negotiate a special on slow times. You should try this location as quick spot for dinner and lunch. We tried Shiba Restaurant while we were there and then went to do grocery. It was...
