Nguyên Sinh Bistro - est. 1942 — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

As a connoisseur of fine dining, I was delighted to discover this restaurant. The fact that it has been around since 1942 is a testament to its consistent quality and unparalleled flavors. The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and prompt, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. The charcuterie board and beef gizzards were a true revelation, with their rich textures and flavors setting the perfect tone for the rest of the meal. The beef steak, cooked to perfection, stood out not only for its delicious taste but also for its meticulous presentation, showcasing the kitchen's attention to detail. Every dish was a tribute to their commitment to quality and culinary excellence. This restaurant is a gem for those seeking a top-tier dining experience. Highly recommended for its exceptional taste and exquisite...

The restaurant is quite narrow. From the outside, it doesn't look like a restaurant but more like a cold meat shop. To eat at the restaurant, you need to go inside and go upstairs, the space is quite small and narrow.

The pictures in the restaurant show that it has been open for quite a while and is currently run by the second generation.

We ordered a variety of dishes, including salads, steaks, pasta, and soups. The dishes did not suit my taste or my friends' taste. Although the amount of food was quite a lot, the taste was quite greasy.

Maybe because the restaurant was not crowded, the staff often looked at their phones and did not pay attention to the customers.

I'm not sure if the taste here is standard for Westerners or not, but for Vietnamese people, I will not recommend my friends...

A Classic Banh Mi with a Twist We were excited to try Nguyên Sinh Bistro, known for their deconstructed bánh mì. While we were a bit skeptical at first, their bánh mì won us over completely. The bread was good, but it was the meat that truly stole the show. The chicken liver pâté and the small steak were incredibly flavorful. Paired with a perfectly balanced pepper sauce, it was a delightful combination. The bistro has a unique charm with an upstairs classy restaurant vibe and a downstairs neighborhood deli feel. It's a comfortable and welcoming space. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Overall: ★★★★ Service: ★★★★ Food: ★★★★ Atmosphere: ★★★★ If you’re looking for a bánh mì with a touch of sophistication, Nguyên Sinh Bistro is definitely...
