    Superb experience here! Food was fresh and tasty! Service was great! Atmosphere was fantastic! Will definitely be back again to try the other food in my next trip! Was crowded tho, so I think I have to go earlier next time! Secret tip: sit by the edge of the restaurant if you don’t wanna get smoked up. However, you might be able to smell the drain from time to time too 🤣😅

    A chic and casual barbecue diner situated in the middle of a busy district. The eatery is often packed with people from all walks of life. You get to order from a long list of meat; seafood, vegetables and cooked items. The marination on the beef was flavorful and made even better after being barbecued over a charcoal grill. A must for those who loves barbecue and doesn’t mind the hustles and bustles.

    It was a seafood lover's paradise. The standout feature of this restaurant is undoubtedly the freshness of their seafood. From the moment I took my first bite, I could tell that the ingredients were of the highest quality. One of the highlights of my meal was the chicken cartilage dish. The taste was unique and left a lasting impression on my taste buds. It's not something you come across often, and 5KU Station nailed it with their preparation. Another dish that stood out was the fried Kang Kong. Despite lacking leaves, the flavour was exceptional. The chef's ability to elevate a simple ingredient to such heights is commendable. The white clam soup was a delightful surprise. It had a tom yam vibe, adding a spicy kick to the meal. It was both comforting and invigorating at the same time. While there were many highs in the dining experience, there was one letdown—the blood cockles. Unfortunately, they turned out to be rather tasteless, which was disappointing given the overall quality of the other dishes.

    Fantastic local restaurant in Saigon! I can say it is really famous place because if you wanna have dinner here you have to book if not! You must wait in q at the front restaurant until there is some table check bill then you can replace their table! they also have very skill waiter who provide service (movement) like ninja... so maturity guest is young Vietnamese they went there by group after work and some foreign who live and work there. I think I will guide my friend to visit there again 🤤😋😋😋

    This is Vietnamese restaurant which opens till next morning. This is very popular restaurant around here. And they have many restaurants in HCMC. However this location is special because located next to Japanese Town. So many Japanese use here after drink. The dishes are good and the price is not so high as the location. Actually there is not many options after midnight, so this is the moat famous place after midnight.

    For any tourists, avoid this place!!! Staff tried to steal my money. I was shown the bill. Gave them the money. When the staff came back with the change, he took the receipt and gave the money only. Upon review of how much cash i was given, i noticed i was 100k short. I called a different waiter and asked him to provide me with a recipt/bill. He gave it to me, and it confirmed that i was short 100k. The staff who had tried to cheat me came back with the correct amount of money after i complained. The staff member was speechless, only laughing when he handed me the correct amount of money. What a low thing to do!! I wonder how many others have been cheated, not noticing the incorrect amount of change they have been given. That staff member should be fired for stealing/ cheating customers. Avoid this place!!

    Good place to hang out and drink. Food is average at best for the high price they charge. The waiters are enthusiastic and attentive. All items they put on your table will be charged even if you didn't order them. The moment we sat down they already provided two beer bottles and a corn side.

    It's our second time here so you know what that means. Love their stir fry octopus with morning glory. I thought it was going to be hard but I'm very surprised it was so tender. We also tried the snail It's always good. How can a simple dish be so goood?! Haha it's worth it! Love the vibes and the waiters are attentive and kind.

    Been visiting this branch since before covid, and finally got the chance to revisit & they are still as good as I can remember! Great charcoal bbq to be enjoyed in numbers. We generally order the octopus, pork, and shrimp from the BBQ menu. On the last visit, we tried the salmon fins & these are great as the meat is not chunky, so there's plenty of space to try other dishes. The meat are well-marinated, but what makes the experience so nice is the addictive green dipping sauce. The charcoal also gives that nice char aroma you don't get from electric bbq. Other than the BBQ, we have had morning glory (nice & crunchy, garlicky, and a bit spicy), and the stir-fried noodles, which is cooked using instant noodles and with generous amount of toppings of choice. There's a lot of locals, and this particular branch is located just outside the Little Tokyo, easily accessible.

    I enjoyed my visit here. This place allows you BBQ meat and seafood in a relaxed setting.. the wait staff are always friendly and helpful and even give you pointers if your hibachi skills aren't up to date 😂.. I think it's a place that maybe workers and some locals go so it was great to just experience life passing while you wait for your food to cook. Would absolutely go back again.

    Great place for cook your own bbq - great atmosphere and service. Ordered the eggplant which was amazing along with the morning glory with garlic. For the bbq the pork and beef were both delicious but the octopus was very tough. The accompanying sauces were all delicious too. Beers were ice cold.

    I've been here many times because I love grilled food and the atmosphere is always buzzing. Sitting here drinking beer is also more enjoyable than other places. Bbq combined with beer is perfectly reasonable

    Nice local BBQ place with many varieties of food selection in small portion and reasonable pricing. I love the mini size BBQ pit concert can enjoy the friend company while slowly grill out food 👍

    Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cost ⭐⭐⭐ Ambient ⭐ ⭐ Accessibility ⭐⭐⭐ The food are good, it's so fun to bbq the meat and enjoy with beer. Beer are very cheap , and food are amazing. It will be very fun it coming with group of friends! A little hot here but when I visit are raining so quite comfortable. Will be back again!

  • 2/5 Neel K. 2 years ago on Google
    Came back after a few years and felt like the quality has declined. The beef especially was really bad. It's really weird they don't offer plain white rice anymore, I guess they want you to buy over priced fried rice for 189k. Overall, I'd rather pay a bit more and go to a Japanese or Korean bbq that has AC and comfortable seats.

  • 5/5 Andy H. 4 years ago on Google
    Very busy! Service was quick. Only complaint was that our pieces of meat for the BBQ were quite small and kept calling through the grate. Good value for around AU$20 per person including two beers each.

    One of the best barbeque experiences I've ever had! The seafood was fresh and paired with delicious sauces. Highly recommend trying the snail with morning glory, oysters and squid.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice and cozy Vietnamese barbecue restaurant. Popular with both locals and tourists. The menu is extensive and you get a choice between barbecue and steamboat dinner. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 kyle l. 4 years ago on Google
    Good BBQ and beer garden, good for late night suppers and more rounds of beer with your friend! Good seafood and choices of meat. Must order their octopus for BBQ! It is very nice. Beers are also cheap. Only the BBQ pit on the table was a little too small. Opened air seatings.

  • 4/5 이광희 1 year ago on Google
    Good foods and cost effective. Casual place. I recommend it.

  • 4/5 MeiJen L. 1 year ago on Google
    Local style bbq, serving with many options of meats and veggies. It’s also a good place to chill out with friends and having some drinks on a weekend. The food quality wise is also perfect 🤩 However, it’s very Smokey and my eyes were not so comfortable after sitting for awhile.

    Awesome service, fresh food. Staff speaks English. Eggplant dish and the clams are a must order!

    Open space with good beers and Vietnamese food all around in the heart of District 1 / Little Japan Town.

  • 4/5 Jessica M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe, food was delicious, prices a little expensive for what it was and in comparison to other similar places. Address wasn’t correct at time of our visit, they have moved further down the road, the original location has a sign directing you where to go.

    Very good place to have bbq. We really enjoy and the beer very good too.

  • 4/5 SL W. 1 year ago on Google
    This Vietnamese bbq restaurant seemed to be full of locals, and you should come here if you want to experience local Vietnamese bbq. Apparently, this is of many 5KU outlets that they have. The food is not expensive but not cheap for local standards either. It's about 180,000 for a plate of meat. The fried rice was disappointing as it lacked any fragrance tasted like rice mixed with seasonings. Overall, it was a good experience sitting on low benches , eating from a small bbq for an experience.

  • 5/5 Dash T. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall good experience. I went there right after i touch down to HCMC. Definately a good start.

  • 5/5 yee a. 1 year ago on Google
    Food price a bit high, but taste is good. Ordered beef, pork, octopus & okra. The fried noodle taste same as Malaysia style maggie goreng 😝 too hot and noisy. total price 1000k for 2 person (too pricy), can try another bbq in hcm : bros bbq buffet (cheaper price but food is great)

    This is a great place for drinking food!
