Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! What a gem I found! Den Long is certainly lifts up to its name if Home cooked Vietnamese dishes. This place was packed when I entered and it was actually closing soon. And it’s packed with locals, so you know it has to be good. Ordered their grilled pork, pram pancakes and rolls and this place certainly deserves 5-stars all the way! Food was yummmmyyyylicious! And the portions are generous with the freshest ingredients. Prawns were big, crunchy and juicy! Certainly made my tastebuds dancing and a well worth it place to have a fully satisfied meal. Highly recommended!

Den long is located in a bustling road. Although it is a bit out of the way from major shopping and markets, we found the trip worth it. The restaurant deco had a modern Vietnamese feel but not overpowering with history and colours. The food was great. The shared dishes portion were plenty for 2. We enjoyed the chicken fried rice in coconut (recommended) and clam dish. In fact, we enjoyed all the food except for the fried frogs which was a letdown. If you in the district 1 area and done with eating street food, then I would recommend a visit to Den Long.

Coming from Singapore and into Saigon, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and service (us being foodies this is certainly not an overstatement). The menu had a great variety of dishes, reasonably priced (ard 100k per dish) and you get to dine in a clean and lovely decorated interior. Staff were well-versed in conversational English and the food was served really promptly after ordering. They even gave us free desserts! Thank you Den Long for the wonderful eating experience. We will definitely be back. (We had our dinners here two days in a row)

Decent local dishes but a bit pricey. Though they do put effort in decorating and their service is good. If you want to have good dining experience in D1 and don’t mind its touristy atmosphere then this is a good choice.

Phenomenal!! Tiny portions in the Hue style, good enough to try a range of dishes. Prices are a bit higher than average, but the atmosphere, service, and food are all absolutely top notch. Really quiet and relaxing. The fried pineapple rice was perfectly crispy, and the house style fried beef had this ridiculously tasty sauce. I’ll be back. I’ve photographed the menu - take a look.

The food is well-prepared and so delicious! I ordered the baked fish, which tastes marvelous! The interior is beautiful but not cheasy. The staff speaks fluent English, and very attentive. And I think the price is reasonable. Highly recommend to the ones who want high-quality Vietnamese food in a comfortable environment with great service!

Had a great, reasonably priced meal here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the decor was pretty. I ordered a soft shell crab, stir fried morning glory and caramelised pork dish with rice. The food was delicious and came very quickly. Would highly recommend for good Vietnamese food in a restaurant setting.

I was here for the last vietnamese dinner with a couple of friends I met during my trip. Perfect spot, extremely welcoming, super nice staff, very very good food. It in the district one of Saigon and also the walk to reach it is very nice. I would definitely come back if I’ll be back in Vietnam one day!

The food was superb as well as the service here. What was the most unique and delicious of the array of food I ordered was the Tonkin flower vegetable and the pomelo salad. A blend of sweet and spicy nature of the pomelo paired it greatly with the rice. The Tonkin flower, native to Vietnam, was a new and delicious taste. Everything else was superb as well and the service from the staff was great especially when the spring roll was slightly tough and they replaced them with a brand new replacement. Overall 9/10 would recommend for a traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

We were on a short business trip in Saigon (21 Dec 2023) and I brought my colleagues to have our first dinner at Den Long Restaurant. The online reservation, done on the day itself, was swift and easy. When we arrived, our table was ready and the service was as friendly as I remembered from my personal family trip in Dec 2022. We ordered 5-6 dishes to share, and all of them were delicious! Not too salty, or too sweet, the perfect balance of flavours. The crew even surprised us with a complimentary side dish (a new item on their menu) which was absolutely yummy. All of us enjoyed the food at Den Long. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine at pocket-friendly prices, we highly recommend Den Long. We will certainly return again the next trip we visit Saigon!

I loved this place. Super impressed with the host taking me through the menu and talk about some of his favorite dishes. Started off by asking if I had any allergies and then got straight into it. Great English and easy to understand. Food was awesome - ordered the prawns, crispy chicken and a peach drink which was amazing. Do yourself a favor and when in Ho Chi Minh City go check out Den Long. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Highly recommended for all the tourists who travel Saigon to try the local vietnamese food in this restaurant. BETTER to book a table in advance, because the restaurant is busy all the time. Staff is well trained, the interior is nice and good ventilation design. Food is tasty and fresh, with no hygiene problem. Shop always keep it clean, and the table top will not have any single oily sticky area.

Very nice athmosphere, super friendly staff, English friendly. We tried, morning glory which was my favorite, but other meals were excellent. Will definitely try again, recommend. Thank you !

So good I came here twice. The food was faultless, absolutely delicious and so reasonably priced. The staff are beautiful people, so kind and polite. They made the experience 10/10. Highly recommend. Would have preferred if they didn’t use plastic straws in the drinks and the disposable wet wipes could have just been reusable napkins.

Food was served quick and fresh. Taste really good at appropriate price point. Overall ambience is nice as well, shop is tucked right in the middle of a bustling street. Great stop to replenish energy ahead of a busy day!

Reasonably priced, great taste and good service. The trifactor for any great restaurant. The dishes were well presented and portions were reasonable for 2 persons, but on the small side. So order a little more. They have many vegetarian options.

Great place to eat some traditional Vietnamese food. We ordered a grilled chicken which was still raw. But they took it immediately and made us a new one. Great customer service and the vibe was really nice as well. Def recommended. Price was good too.

Lovely food and experience. The dishes are quite special and we didn't see it in other restaurants. The interior is nice and comfortable. It's a Sat night, so maybe due to busy hour, food were served a bit slow, but it was OK, we didn't mind. The service was good overall.

This eatery is popular by tourists and boasts high ratings. I tried three dishes, and while they were tasty, none were particularly impressive. The crab curry was somewhat bland, and the fish dish a bit too spicy for me. Despite arriving without a reservation, I still got a table on the third floor. Even during the busy hours, the food did not take that long to be served. With reasonable prices, I'd recommend this spot for those seeking approachable Vietnamese cuisine or exploring it for the first time.

Great hue food. Fantastic dishes with a wide variety at a reasonable price. Unique local tonkin flower vegetables dish which we all loved. Many meat dishes were equally good and always accompanied by a side of salad. Fish soup was extremely comforting. Highly recommended.

This is the first time my family and I come here, everything is perfect. The taste of the food is good. The staffs are very nice and welcome us. I love the atmosphere here, it makes me feel warm and comfortable. The decoration is great, I like the "Den Long" in the restaurant, it's beautiful. We had a wonderful dinner. I will be back ❤️

Quiet and cozy Vietnamese restaurant serving the authentic cuisines in Ho Chi Minh City. It is recommended to book a table and come mainly during dinner. The restaurant is quite centrally located. They have a wide spread of choices of fish, meat and vegetarian and easy for different tastes. Definitely recommend to visit this restaurant if you want try the local Vietnamese cuisine. Very affordable prices for the quality of food.

Vietnamese restaurant with 3 floors, delicious food, beautiful plate decoration, the price is quite high, Very nice decoration and atmosphere. Polite staff and good service. There are lots of seats, but should reserve at noon and evening. There are restrooms available in the shop.

These place is superb. Very kind and polite staff, always crowded with many people dining here. Ordered fried tofu, vegetables, fried fish, soup with shrimp, fried anchovies, steam vegie with fish paste. For drinks we order tropical fruit and IPA beers. All taste good and tasty. Price also acceptable with that kind of portion and environment. Location easy to find.

Food was so-so. No need to come here if you think you are going to have a really authentic Vietnamese meal. We ordered spring roll(beef), Pamelo salad, caramelized chicken and fried shrimp spring roll. The chicken was too salty and sweet. The price is not expensive so can’t complain too much.

Everything was great! Nice bowl of Bunbohue (could use a bit more spice), caramelized pork went amazing w the rice. Fish sauce chicken was a tad bit old and salty, still good though.

Lovely food, beautifully presented and reasonable prices. But best of all was the service from the staff which was exceptional. They are so kind, helpful and respectful. I got a complimentary drink (which was delicious), attached a wish to the tree and received a hand written list of local places they recommended that I go to. You must try this place when in District 1.

Great restaurant with Vietnamese cuisine and good quality of the ingredients. I went here 3 times during my stay in Ho Chi Minh City and tried different dishes every time. I can really recommend it. I especially liked the pomelo Salad and the curry with frog.

Cozy family restaurant with impeccable tasting food. The pork belly was crisp and sweet, and their curry was just right. Perfect place for a stop when you’re hungry.

Some of the best service in HCM and everything was perfect. Our group tried a little bit of everything from their menu, from the shell crab, baked oysters and eels on the rock to caramelized pork, grilled squid with chili and the frog legs with egg yolk sauce. Everything is amazing, one of the most unique experiences we had. It's more expensive than most restaurants but the meal is definitely worth it.

Very beautiful Vietnamese restaurant that serves authentic cuisine. We went for dinner and didn’t have to wait long. Our servers spoke English and they had an English menu as well so very tourist friendly. They have a wide spread of choices of fish, meat and vegetarian and easy for different preferences. Definitely recommend to visit this restaurant as the are very affordable and the food tasted amazing!

Had the caramelized pork as take out. Really enjoyed it. Portion size as others have mentioned, might be smaller than expected if you're a man but it was perfect for me - ok other than the rice which was very little indeed. But overall very tasty and service was great. The restaurant is lovely for dining in.

The 2 stars of the meal goes to the garlic fried rice and the salted egg soft shell crab! A chill place with really good service. They are always smiling. Love it!

We had a 10 dish feast, plus cocktails, for a great price, and every dish was absolutely amazing. The staff is easy to communicate with, and ensure you have a good experience. Highly recommend a visit!

Comprehensive menu, fantastic food and very attentive staff. Our first authentic Vietnamese meal and we were not disappointed. Great flavours and served by attentive well presented staff, a must if you are in this part of town.

Last day of my vietnamese trip, and I was extremely excited to try this place considering how many good reviews it had. However, the main course, which was the crispy pork belly, wasn't prepared, and I had to remind them about it only to be informed that I would have to leave the restaurant and return within ten minutes. I wanted to wait for my food to be made in the restaurant and didn't understand how that wasn't an option. I left with quite a sour note, and it was unfortunate that this was my last meal in Vietnam. In case people think there was any mistranslation or miscommunication, both my parents and my cousin who went with me grew up in Vietnam and are fluent in vietnamese.

A very nice place for dinner. The food was great. The place is visited by groups with can make it crowded but not in a cumbersome way. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. The decoration is cute.

I ate here 3 times during my stay in Ho Chi Minh, and each experience was outstanding. The staff are very friendly, and the food is amazing! Everything is reasonably priced, and super tasty!! 10/10, would highly recommend!

Excellent food, great hospitality, thoughtful server (my partner is allergic to shellfish, the server immediately recommended us an alternative option and alter the menu to suit our palates) Great food taste and presentation too.

Didn't have any idea what foods they serve at first. When we saw the menu, it looked a lot like Thai or Indonesian authentic cuisines. So we tried several foods: squid, shrimp, clams, and tonkin flowers. And they are all surprisingly perfect! It tastes right for our Asian pallette. The seafoods were fresh. The drink was good too. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. Overall, it's a nice experience eating there.

beautiful space, slightly pricey and found the coconut fried rice to be quite overrated. there was a coconut fragrance but not much flavour. oyster was small, best dish we had was the grilled prawns. definitely a restaurant targeted to tourists

I love this restaurant at the first time Came here twice during my staying in VietNam. The foods are really good , lovely presentation and reasonable price. If you are foreigners, don't be sorry because staffs can speak foreigners languages well. Well training staffs too. One of my favorite restaurants in Sai Gon Recommended👍

Nice clean place at first visit but your experience will depend on where you sit because they have 4 floors and the atmosphere is very different between them (the ground floor is best). The aircon is also very dry and not at all good for your nose in one of the backrooms (3rd floor, room without windows). The quality of food depends a lot on what you order. The stewed pork is excellent but the fried calamari is plain boring. However, they do have the best soy sauce in town. I could eat two bowls if rice with the sauce and a beer. I would also include a plate of morning glory, that stuff is delicious. Service is relatively quick but obviously will depend on the number of other guests. People here are friendly. The Lost in Saigon cocktail is a total killer so be careful to drink it slowly.

The food tastes great, especially the crab curry with thick coconut milk flavour. One of the staff speaks fluent English, and she even apologised to us very politely for the slightly long serving time due to many customers, and offered us desserts in compensation for mixing up our orders. Overall a not-very-good but not-too-bad dining experience.

The food is served relatively fast and tastes wonderful! Service is really good! It's really convenient to order as the menu comes with english translation and the waiter can understand and speak English. Love that the shop will go to every table to ask customers about the food being served. Can sense that they genuinely care about the customers. Would definitely revisit again to try other dishes.

This restaurant has a beautiful ambience and clean. Even their toilet looks beautiful! Their caramelized pork is a must try! The staff can speak well in english that's why it is easy to communicate when you're a tourist.

We came here on our first day in Saigon, and couldn’t have found a better restaurant for the evening! When you come in, you are immediately greeted by the friendly staff and nice atmosphere. It’s a cozy and nicely decorated place. Then came the food. The menu looked so good, we ordered 7 dishes to try as much as possible. And we were absolutely thrilled by the delicious variety! The sauces, the flavouring, the looks: all perfect. What made the evening even better was the extremely kind and friendly staff, who explained every dish and really welcomed us to the city. We will definitely come back 😊

Delicious meal, amazing staff. A must try for a tasty meal with wonderful ambience. Our lovely waiter even wrote out a few other local places to try while we are in Saigon which was greatly appreciated.

Relatively expensive for the quality of the food. A+ for customer service and appearance, but the food could be better. We had the grilled chicken with Den Long sauce. Not a very big portion for 95,000. Also found a bone in the chicken even though it's advertised as boneless. The fried rice in the coconut was good (better) and it costed 115,000. They do not include VAT in the price. Overall below average quality compared to other places we've been to.

It’s the people who make a place home and I’m absolutely floored by the service here. Not only were the dishes truly homemade as touted, this particular staff recommended places to go to and eat just like an old friend. Handwritten notes are always up my alley and these were jotted down so kindly by him. Love the idea of being able to write down well-wishes and hang them on a branch as well. I was too hungry for my usual food shots but everything was brilliant. They seem to be aware that people may not appreciate their salty cuisine and they left the fish sauce as a side for their veggies – a gesture which I found especially thoughtful. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

A very nice restaurant with great food, friendly staff who could converse well in English. Ordered the platter as a starter - nice. Main dish is the seabass fish with mango sauce - fish cooked perfectly well with sweet, hot & tangy sauce. Ordered morning glory for vege. Drinks - 1) peach iced tea with lemongrass, kumquat, and slices of peach and 2) passion fruit juice. Dessert is sticky rice with banana and coconut. Price is reasonable for 2 pax with 3 dish, 2 drinks and 1 dessert, vnd 570k. A must try restaurant in HCM.

Very yummy food with a beautiful and tasteful decoration. The staff was very kind and offered to give recommendations that were great. I really enjoyed the rice crackers for starter and the yogurt with passion fruit was to die for. If you don't like too much sweet, remember to tell them as drinks have quite a lot of sugar.

Highly rated restaurant in Saigon, sour fish soup, stewed chicken and seafood fried rice. All of them were well seasoning, not too over or too strong taste, balance with each other. The aroma of Saigon beer was very cool, forgot the name but it was the third place of craft beer at 3.5% alcohol. Recommended for female to try, light and smell good. Btw, waiters and waitress are excellent English speakers, no communication issue at all.

This Vietnamese restaurant’s food actually taste a bit like Thai food. Not your typical Banh Mi or Pho joints. The food here is slightly on the sweeter side, but still a delight. The staff are super friendly compared to other Vietnamese people we met. Soft shell crab and coconut fried rice were quite nice!
