Hải Sản Hoàng Gia CN Quốc Hương Quận 2 — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

First off, the people working there are super attentive and very friendly. I forgot my Hydro flask there and thought I would never see it again but the next day when we were wandering the streets and happened to pass by, one of the employees remembered me and chased me down with my hydro flask in hand!! Great service overall. About the food, it’s pretty overpriced seafood but that’s to be expected for the area. You choose what you want and they’ll cook how you want. If you don’t know what you want, they’ll give you a great suggest. The two Vietnamese crabs we got were super meaty and cooked perfectly. The oysters were clean and fresh but not the best I’ve ever had, maybe because we ordered the last eight they had. Our server recommended the Oc (snail) with this garlic egg custard buttery sauce that was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted, super yummy. Had to keep asking for more lime because they gave us these tiny limes. Maybe it’s not common to eat seafood with limes in this area but to me, tons of acid is essential to seafood. For two crabs, eight oysters, and 1kg of Oc we paid about 2.5million vnd (~$100usd) which felt pretty pricy but to others might...

Clean and hygiene place including the toilet, airconditioning is comfortable.

Server will clean the mess on the table whenever it gets too messy.

All the prices are shown according to weight of the seafood you chosed and weighed immediately to show you the cost for your reference.

The river prawn is huge and the buttery cream inside was delicious. Around 140k each as big as your palm which in my opinion, it's affordable. We had 4 of em.

Lobsters average at around 1.5mil per kilo. We chosed Canadian Boston lobster it was very fresh and tasty.

We did not order the live grouper because they only had 1.5kg onwards which were very huge. The price per kilo was also reasonable in my opinion.

People should know how many kilograms they are getting so they don't claim that they've been scammed. Normally first timer who couldn't gauge what amount they could eat will end up over ordering with a bill that they claim to be too expensive. So my advise is to know the size and amount of protein you could get out of the shell before you rush to order.

We will definitely come back again...

Food: fresh and you can pick which one you like. For VVIP “ốc hương” (super big size), you have to dine in around dinner time Sat/Sun. As for taste, it hit/miss depends on the chef. I enjoy the salted egg flavor and thai flavor here but it was not that great in my last visit. The one before that was good. Taste also vary extremely by location as it taste so much better in district 7. For this location, I recommend to eat in weekend for super fresh and good food. Service: considering the price you pay, it is great but not at the level I expect at this price. But overall, it’s good service. However, parking is a major headache here, especially for car! Atmosphere: new and looking great. Nothing fancy to...
