Vị Sài Gòn Restaurant & Café — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

I recently dined at Vi Sài Gòn, a newly opened gem in HCMC, and it truly exceeded expectations. The ambiance is a harmonious blend of Vietnamese elegance, with open seating areas perfect for group gatherings, alongside private dining options for a more intimate experience. The soothing instrumental music adds a relaxed vibe, making it an ideal spot to unwind.

As someone with celiac, dining out can often be a challenge, but Luna, our server, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which made the experience stress-free. I started with their vegetable soup, which was flavorful and comforting, paired with a refreshing peach tea. My boyfriend ordered the Northwest grilled chicken, served beautifully with rice in bamboo—both the presentation and taste were outstanding.

The hospitality at Vi Sài Gòn was exceptional, and their selection of fresh, health-focused drinks was a highlight. It’s clear they prioritize both quality and guest experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Vi Sài Gòn is a must-try for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Vietnamese flavors in a...

Very disappointing. Saw all the good reviews as just arrived in HCMC and the restaurant was very near our hotel. When we arrived, there was a large tour group in the restaurant, so we told the waitress we would go to a nearby bar and come back within half an hour-when the restaurant would be less busy. When we arrived back, the staff looked like they had had enough already. The food was very mediocre, with many dishes cold and not as advertised. For example, prawns in tamarind sauce were so small, it was hard to get them out of their shells and aubergine in mushroom sauce came with nuts instead. Add to that a huge bowl of cold rice at the end of the meal. Travel and work throughout SE Asia. Know the fantastic food and great service throughout the region and I have to say that this was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve had in a very long time. I understand the pressures of catering to big groups, but you should never forget core customers and they should not be ignored. Disappointed that when I relayed our complaints to staff, the only response we got was ‘so sorry’. So were we! Would...

Really really good cooking here, with excellent options for vegetarians. Not far off fine dining. We had the vegetarian pumpkin with rice, Red Tilapia fish with tamarind sauce, and potato wedges. All superb. The vibe of the restaurant is great, lovely decor and good music. The staff were very upbeat and friendly, and apologetic for some slight problems we had during our meal. We came at a strange time, when they were waiting for several large table bookings. As a result, they were out of quite a few options on the menu, which they didn’t tell us, and several other diners, until after we went to order/had already ordered! This meant there was a delay in timings with the food, and the staff were a bit distracted (from the other/smaller tables) waiting for their arrival, but this is not a major problem and the taste of the food more than made up for it. All in all, a good restaurant with...
