The corner
Right at the walking-street gate
The Đề Thám – Bùi Viện crossroads, bright yellow facade, pavement tables facing Saigon's busiest walking street.
The restaurant stands at the Đề Thám – Bùi Viện crossroads, the heart of Saigon's backpacker quarter, with a bright yellow facade and an open space looking straight onto the walking street. Inside are live seafood tanks — spiny lobster, Cà Mau crab, blue swimmer crab, queen snails, red grouper — for guests to pick themselves before the kitchen cooks them: steamed, grilled, fried, stir-fried or hotpot.
The restaurant is open 24/7, serving without a break — the full menu day and night, with the walking-street atmosphere growing livelier towards midnight. A four-language menu (Vietnamese–English–Chinese–Korean) and English-speaking staff make ordering easy for international guests, true to the house's own words: sharing Vietnamese cuisine with international friends.
Beyond the pavement tables, the restaurant has private and VIP rooms for 10–60 people — for families, friend groups, company parties or business guests — plus a bar serving wine, beer and cocktails, and The Rice hotel directly above for parties that run late into the night.
