Reviews Summary
This local eatery is a hit for its authentic Vietnamese street food, particularly the signature bot chien and fresh spring rolls. Diners appreciate the affordable prices and the bustling, local atmosphere. However, some have noted that the cleanliness could be improved, and a few found certain dishes to be overly oily or unremarkable.
"First time i tried this local res. The atmosphere reminds me of some unknown chinese res.
Even the taste of the signature dish of this res kinda similar with chinese local dish.
The crunch sound of fried rice flour cake(bột chiên) made me feel so satisfied. U can top up with one more egg if u want dont just order default one.
There a lot type of beverages u can select. For me i chose "Rau má đậu" to feel less heat in the room as well as foods"

"I ordered “Bot chien” with egg, the taste is similar to wok fried carrot cake in dim sum, however it has local taste which is yummy.
Affordable price for local street food."

"First time here and I’m impressed! The spring rolls with shrimp and pork skin were fresh, flavorful, and perfect with the dipping sauce. The rice cake with egg (“Bột Chiên”) was crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the egg made it even more delicious together with the soy sauce and chili.
Nice local vibes, friendly atmosphere, and great value for money. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re around HCMC!"
