A local gem in Ho Chi Minh City, Quán Thuý 94 - Miến Cua is a Michelin-selected eatery for 2024–2025, and after visiting, I can absolutely see why. This spot is incredibly popular with both locals and tourists expect it to be bustling during meal times, which adds to the lively street-side atmosphere.
I ordered their signature crab soup and crab fried rice, and both dishes exceeded expectations. The soup was rich, comforting, and packed with fresh crab meat, egg ribbons, and just the right touch of seasoning. The fried rice was generously loaded with succulent crab chunks, perfectly stir-fried with fragrant garlic, green onions, and just a hint of pepper. Each bite highlighted how fresh the crab was, you can even see the live crabs in baskets outside the entrance, which speaks to the quality.
The kitchen setup is open and authentic, giving a real sense of the local cooking style. It’s clear the food is made with care despite the simple surroundings. This isn’t a fancy dining experience, it’s straightforward, seafood-focused street-style dining at its best.
If you’re a seafood lover, particularly a fan of crab, this spot is an absolute must visit while in Saigon. I’d definitely return to explore more of their crab-based...
Read moreBy far my best meal of the trip so far and even better than another Michelin restaurant I had last night, when this was just a Michelin guide. That said, u have to withstand the very crowded and narrow space while eating. And if u are into hygiene, u wouldn't wanna spend too much time chilling here. The crab soup (110k) was my highlight. Although it's not cheap for vietnamese standards, but the amount of crabs they had inside (it's like crabs swimming inside my mouth) and the incredibly umami, sweet tasting soup, this itself deserves a 5 stars! Fried rice was good but nothing fantastic... Same thing... Full of crabs! And then the vermicelli with crabs and the spring roll, both were really delicious too! There's tis old lady who despite of our language barrier, was very very helpful in trying to suggest what to eat with which food. We were afraid to offend her though if we didn't eat that same way! They probably should do something about their toilet though, as it feels like skiing in Hokkaido ice, (not snow). Be careful and perhaps going back to your hotel toilet might be a safer choice.
Overall, this is a 8.75 out of 10! Will be here and intro...
Read moreI really enjoyed this restaurant and the food being a crab through restaurant was so delicious and I was very happy to come here. It was also very funny but also sweet that the lady who works there who look to be the owner was an older grandma. And you shouldn’t speak English, so she was pointing at the menu of the things that are good in like just telling me to flip the menu and I thought that was very. funny. The food came out very fast and I really enjoyed the crab noodles as well as the fried crab and the crab spring rolls, those were the best I found that my crab fried rice was not flavourful enough and maybe it was just a one off thing, but I think the crab noodles were so good that I really wanna go back there just for that I recommended and even ourdriver who is the Grab driver recommend this place cause we’re gonna go to the place beside it but he recommended because this was a Michelin guide and it was definitely the place to go. I would come back here again and recommend this good crab place to anyone that is in the...
