The interior and location of the restaurant were very good. The taste of the food, which is an important factor in the restaurant's evaluation, is also impeccable. However, even though I made a reservation and visited, there were no seats available. Most of all, the sloppy service posture of the staff and the really long time until the food is served test the customer's patience. Moreover, even when payment, they are oblivious to the service points. No matter how great the atmosphere of the restaurant and the taste of the food are, if the service for them is not good, it will be difficult to evaluate this restaurant as the best restaurant. They made my next visit very difficult.

Delicious authentic Vietnamese cuisine with an extensive menu that serves everything from street food to dining delicacies. The dishes were both flavorful and reflects the traditions of a Vietnamese kitchen.

Updates Dec 2023 Food was fresh and tasted absolutely like a home cooked meal. Portions are decent and enough for 4 to sample. Flavours were distinct to each dish. Edited - Each time I return, the service seems to be dropping. One particular staff looked so angry and bothered each time I called out for assistance, maybe she had a bad day. Some dishes were forgotten and arrived way too late. Food quality is still great but the service leaves much to be desired. A little smile protocol would go a long way to make a diners experience better.

This place was recommended to us … and it did not disappoint at all. We ordered many dishes from spring rolls to mushrooms and dragon beans, the garlic/ pepper shrimp , chicken and pineapple and ever dish was excellent. The food is meant to be shared and in general all came out at once. The portions were also quite larger. For the amount of food plus 2 bottles of wine we felt the prices were quite reasonable. There are multiple locations but really like the ambiance of this one. Service was also good. Reservations are recommended as it is popular and busy. Definitely will come back.

Walked by and found this gem it’s semi-fine dining with nice atmosphere a good place to take a date with some large tables for you’re family. The chicken in tamarind dish i am so glad I selected the sauce was amazing and the chicken was still juicy and cooked perfectly. It mite be the best chicken dish I have ever ate!

We've been here two nights in a row and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience both times. The food, service and ambience all are 5 stars. The staff member that served us both days was very helpful and nothing was too much for him. The menu is extensive, with lots of options for people with all kinds of dietary needs and everything we ordered from the menu was delicious. Looking forward to our next visit. 😀

Super interesting place. Their famous dish is this fried fish fillet with lots of green. You cook the dish in front of you on your own. The dish is cooked by the way. More of heating it up and cooking the greens. Limited selection of dishes on the menu. So it’s either their famous dish or some seafood porridge. Place is quite packed and they have 2 floors. So you are bound to have a place to sit and dine. Good to try out if you are in Hanoi.

Looking for a nice place for dinner with a old friend then found this place. The price is not too expensive compared to other restaurants in D1 but the food are good, the clam soup was the best one, you shouldn’t miss it. At a rainy night but a bit busy, better you book table before coming.

The food here is so delicious, real Vietnamese style, and the drinks are nice as well (tried the Lemongrass drink, super nice). The staffs are nice and friendly as well.

One of the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. Highly recommend this place for some authentic Vietnamese food and amazing service.

I am living in Saigon close to 15 years and since Quan Bui opened, it has never disappointed, moreover exceed everyone's expectations. Locals, expats and tourists coming to this spot and dive into traditional cuisine and get a glance of Vietnamese interior design. Mr. Danh, the owner, pays attention to detail and with his business, he preserves not only the Vietnamese Food Culture, but the Vietnamese art and design - Vietnamese Heritage. Price wise it's on the higher scale, but in return you get to seat and dine at a beautifully designed restaurant with arts and feel how it must have been living like back then. Hand-made chinaware, environmentally-friendly items such as grass straws etc. Last week, I went there for a late lunch and tea break. I love his signature dessert, which has been always been on the menu and yet it is very simple dish - Passionfruit Mousse served in a Passionfruit. The porcellan is from Tuhu Ceramics which perfectly matches into his concept. I wish Quan Bui and Mr. Danh all the best for 2021 - The Year of the Ox. And hope he keeps doing what he does with such great passion. A fan of Vietnamese Cuisine and Culture. xoxo PS: the photos aren't great, I know. :)

what a vibrant and lovely restaurant! our favorite was the assorted wraps & rolls platter and the sweet chili sauce was just super bomb. wish we could have the recipe to the sauce! the honey chicken was another favorite - the sticky honey garlic sauce was magic. the homemade tofu was unreal too - so smooth and silky but the flavors of the salted egg yolk sauce didn't shine so the dish was a little bland. chamomile, pandan & chia seeds drink was perfect. a refreshing way to wash down a delicious meal. super bustling but the staff were very accommodating. happy faces all around!

You couldn’t ask for a better Vietnamese restaurant serving good Vietnamese cuisine than this Quan Bui! The presentation and taste are simply stunning- I look at the dishes ordered by the tables next to me and they too looked awesome. The more reason the come back again. Highly suggest the Jasmine Flower and the Rolls Platter - hard to get elsewhere.

I took my family here for dinner after reading a positive review on the restaurant. We were not disappointed at all. The food and service was exceptional. The restaurant is tucked away in a narrow alley off the main road and has an aircon section. Definitely recommended

I ordered the seafood salad and grilled eggplant. The eggplant was extremely boring but the seafood salad was perfection. It is a lovely restaurant and I'll definitely return.

Recommended by local friend to try as it serve local delicacies as well as some fusion dishes. Clean and spacious location despite it been in the street and hidden at the corner. However please do book in advanced, when we arrived we are lucky that we are about to get a seat for 5. Should you want to get other better seats like 2nd or 3rd level do book. The menu were clear and it describes the dishes for you to know what you will be having. All items were serve as it was display in the menu. Huge portions fyi and your are warned. Service were OK and good enough for the busy setup. Staff were friendly and were quick in getting your thoughts before proceed with the next items. Recommended to come if ya want to enjoy and have a nice place to chill. 😎😎😎

What a wonderful place indeed! I will definitely be going back. The food was delicious and full of flavour. The seating was great and the place was not noisy at all. Very reasonable prices and a wide selection of items available. They have vegetarian dishes also and a very diverse menu. Convenient location although there are 2 locations on the street, so check which restaurant you are going to.

I was here with a Vietnamese friend, she’s a local and strongly recommended me to try this place. It’s located in a very cute area full of shops and nice restaurants, mainly touristy probably but pleasant as well. The variety of food is great and every single dish was extremely tasty and delicious. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, very comfy as well. Perfect place for a quiet dinner with friends to enjoy the amazing vietnamese food. It’s bit expensive considering the normal standards but it’s definitely worth it in the end.

Very clean and authentic flavours in every dish. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are not over seasoned so it arrives at a great balance of taste. The atmosphere and service is friendly and the mix of customers, both regulars and tourists really show that they manage to deliver consistently over the years. We’ll visit every time we come to Ho Chi Minh.

I ordered two dishes here: mango salad, and sweet and sour vegetable prawn soup, pairing with Saigon beer. The food was overall excellent and flavourful. Menu is quite comprehensive; I would visit again to try their other offerings. Service and ambiance are average.

This place offer really tasty authentic local Vietnamese cuisine. The service is prompt. Really appreciated they have English speaking waiter and waitress who recommends good selection of food. If weather permits, I would recommend to go rooftop to enjoy the dinning, else ask for window seat on 2nd floor. Definitely will come back again in the future.

Decent place for Vietnamese food! Theres a ton on their menu so i only had a chance for a few dishes. The spring roll taster was good! I did try this egg pancake which wasnt as good as other places ive tried. Chicken was ok...if youve been to panda express then you know what to expect. Good place to bring foreign friends to introduce them to a bunch of stuff :)

I found this restaurant from Google reviews and I was so happy with this place. Casual, but not really too casual that you feel it’s a nice environment. HCM city has a lot of restaurant options that you feel like you don't want to go to the same place again, but it was an exception and I did it. I made a reservation for the first visit so after we had dinner, I wanted to make another reservation for the next day. I went downstairs as we were leaving and spoke to one of the staff if I can make a reservation. He asked me to call the restaurant number instead so I referred to google and called the number on the spot. Someone answered immediately and took my reservation, but I thought it sounded quite close so I looked at the counter within the restaurant and another guy who was just 2 meters away was the one who took my reservation. We had eye contact, but he did not talk to me in person and just talked to me on the phone. I hung up and asked him if he just took my reservation and he said Yes. He indicated the note that he wrote down the reservation details just now. I found it really strange, hence 4 stars. Maybe there is a reason, but anyway, my reservation was successful for the next day. The ambiance was great and the food was very good. The dish, Banh Xeo had Cuttlefish inside and not pork so that was unexpected, but maybe I did not read the menu properly.

Suggested by a friend who lives in HCM and so far it was my best Vietnamese dining experience. This restaurant bring the Vietnamese food to the next level.

Been here twice for dinner. Really great and authentic food that has a home made taste that isn't too oily. The service and atmosphere is great too. Many variety of dishes !

Saw great reviews and went there to check it out for ourselves. One of the few best meals we had in VN. My mother is a picky eater since she's a chef herself. She mentioned that everything on the menu sounds delicious and the dishes we had were full of flavors and I agreed with her. Very cozy, cute and clean restaurant. We will be back again before heading home.

We had bun thit nuong, quan bui salad, roasted pork w pickles, fried spring rolls and cream passion fruit. The salad is tasty and crunchy with an interesting mix of ingredients. Roasted pork with the fish sauce was a great combination! The bun thit nuong is not recommended as it was quite dry without any sauce with it, they didnt give us any sauce for that. Fried spring rolls were very oily. Cream passion fruit was soooooo yummy! Atmosphere here is comfortable, casual and clean. Service here is impeccable and efficient. Our food came 5mins after we ordered. Staff were attentive to our needs and requests too! Definitely recommended, just don't order the bun thit nuong and fried spring rolls!

Vietnamese cuisine, but western dessert. Foods were good but small portion. Very special Vietnamese beer, the new one name is Te Te which is very tasty, must try. Nice staff and helpful, good atmosphere. Clean restroom and nice decor. Decent price, great location.

Fantastic Vietnamese cuisine in a good 👍 atmosphere 👌. It's very tasty and delicious local food , slightly adapted to foreigners but without any compromises. Very polite and professional 👌 staff. It's really one of the best restaurants for authentic local food. Warmly recommend this real gem in the heart of Saigon!

Loved the food there, the pricing is reasonable given the portion served. All the dishes were great, flavourful and nicely done. We were very impressed that they are opened at 7am and serving the whole menu!

One of the best places we ate at in Saigon. Amazing pork with egg, greens, must orders! Springs roll platter was lovely also & the ginger chicken was nice. Just avoid the fish, weirdly cooker and not good quality. Also a nice ambiance inside the restaurant, and serves healthy fresh juices.

Lovely food, though nothing out of the ordinary. Ordered the platter, morning glory w/ garlic and crab and corn fried rice. The platter was delicious and contains a variety of different things to dry (both fried and steamed) - recommend sharing this 2-3 pax. The morning glory had too many stems in it compared to Bep Me In and they give you soy sauce which personally I don’t think you need. The crab and corn fried rice didn’t have a lot of crab unfortunately and personally I think the fried rice was a bit dry. There are several floors so don’t think you need to worry about wait times (note that we came around 10-11 in the morning). The staff however are lovely and atmosphere is quite nice. However, worth going once (no food was left behind). Note that I think it’s on the pricier end compared to your local eats.

The food is good and unique but it can't really tickle my taste buds. I definitely will give other foods a try for my next visit

Had a good dinner here. I tried a new dish for me, fermented pork and a tamarind drink, it was the first time drinking it the way they made it here . The place is busy so getting here earlier is a good idea because there can be a line. Staff were good and explained things clearly.

Lovely set-up, this restaurant. Good food with simple presentation. Average prices, but worth it. The taste of every dish was spot on. Not too warm a service but requests are met.

We absolutely love this place and have been there twice on our trip to Saigon. It was recommended by a friend who lives here and we couldn’t agree more that it is just wonderful. It has a lovely retro Saigon flair with an urban touch, good lighting, amazing food and an absolutely lovely service team. They walk the extra mile to make you feel welcome and at home, the service is impeccable and comes from the heart and they all speak great English. Our kind waiter Don gave us perfect recommendations and patiently explained how to eat the different dishes (some need to be put into a little wrap and we were very grateful for the demonstration). Make a reservation if you can: On the ground floor it’s more family style with long wooden tables, first floor has a cosy balcony and the top floor a small rooftop terrace. The food is authentic, very tasty and good to share. We’ll be back next time - this is truly one of the most charming Saigon food experiences!

Food and dishes are beautifully presented with care and attention to detail. Ambience is casual and relaxing. Service is very friendly and efficient...but couldn't help feeling a slight lack of 'wow' in the food. I normally get that explosion of flavours sensation when eating Vietnamese food, but didn't really get it here... My choice of dishes perhaps?

Delicious food, great atmosphere with beautiful wall paintings and lighting. It's a shame their service is poor. Waiters forget and annoyingly you have to keep reminding them.

Loved the atmosphere here but gets crowded during late evening. Food was delicious. Staff are busy but helpful and make you understand on all items for you to decide.

The softshell crab was the best dish. Next best was rFamily style local fare with a huge menu and ample space. The beef stir fried was ok. Rice wine was terrible. Service was average.

Food was tasty, but it was the only place I was charged 5% and 7% twice on the final bill. Price is on the high end, service was impeccable, and staff looked very happy and were attentive. It gets super busy so reservation is a must or go early.

I really enjoyed the food at Quán Bụi and went here twice during my stay in Saigon. During my first visit, I had the bún mọc, a northern Vietnamese vermicelli noodle soup with pork balls, and mushrooms. This dish is often served with mắm tôm (shrimp paste) and a plate of fresh vegetables on the side. The mắm tôm was delicious! I absolutely loved it. Fair warning, mắm tôm is an acquired taste. Many westerners may find the smell to be off putting and the taste to be a bit too strong. But it is a perfect sauce to add to the soup. I also had the cà phê sữa đá (Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk). This too was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness and velvitty texture. The restaurant menu features a plethora of Vietnamese home cooked dishes that can be hard to find in restaurants outside of Vietnam. The size of the dishes are best had by a group of people eating family/tapas style. If you are going alone, I recommend keeping it between 1-2 dishes max. The second time I went, I had the thịt kho trứng (braised pork with eggs in coconut juice). This is a fairly common Vietnamese home cooked dish. I just wanted to see how different it was compared to how my mom prepared it when I was growing up. It seems almost exactly the way my mom made it, which was great! The pork was extremely tender and flavorful. The egg being stewed with the pork allows it to take in a lot of the flavor of the sauce and is an absolute joy to eat. I really enjoyed this place and highly recommend anyone interested in trying traditional Vietnamese home cooking to go here. The menu also has English text for those who are unable to read Vietnamese.

Came here myself for breakfast before heading for work conference - my one complaint about this place is that it was full of mozzies and I kept getting bites during my breakfast there. Apart from that, I ordered the beef rice vermicelli with spring rolls and loved it so much. I wanted to try other items on the menu as well, but because the portion already was quite large for this, so I couldnt eat anymore. I had been here few years back too so it's nice to be back!

We visit there at early dinner. 4adults 1kid(4yrs) Menu are various. It's good for us because not too salty. Taste good. If I visit hochiminh again this restaurant will be on a list. Humid and hot weather is reason why 4stars at mood.

One of the best restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. Great Vietnam cuisine and simple present. Without fancy plate presentation but only delicious foods. Each one are unbelievable and wish to have two more weeks here to taste all of them. What's more，they have good wine pairing with a good price. It will be perfect if they have aircondition such hot weather

We had a really nice lunch on Sunday. Only first floor was open and it was full. Food was really good and I have no complaints. Some pictures in the menu were not correct Vs real dish, but that's not a bigg issue.

Their food really taste good as well as the ambience. However, when we went there, there was no available water to drink (in-house water) or even bottled water. They only offered us juices and sparkling water. You might also need to wait for about 10-15 minutes when you order (juices or any kind of food).

Stopped here while we were out walking around Ho Chi Minh City on a hot day. The restaurant was very relaxed and we really enjoyed the food, especially the brown rice and chicken AND the star fruit juice. Really tasty and the prices were reasonable (and the air conditioning helped on the hot day too!).

Only once we tried 'cause it's near Azumaya. Advance booking as review suggests. So, intead of arriving exactly at lunch or dinner time, we booked in between to be more quiet. It's still hot humid at 3:35pm we sat down, did not feel if air conditioning well working. I'm the one who normally like the heat ( up to 29 degree C, still OK). Nice staff welcomed though. I liked clean & nice decor too. The menue's over-priced but we decided to try. When staff started table set up, I noticed some chipped plates, so I requested to change. Another new set's replaced, still chipped ones. I started thinking myself if it is their " rusty look" ? Anyway, I asked & staff confirmed that is their style & they had many! We ended up with sharing shrimp salad. I kept photo showing some chipped plates as souvenir. Too hot inside the restaurant so we just want to cool ourselves quick with a beer, eat & leave. That's a "special" HAPPY BIRTHDAY meal that we celebrated in HCMC.

Lovely variety and quality is good too!! Ambience is v good and so is the service. Like the mini clams in sauteed soya sauce with onions.. ! Wished they served Vietnam desserts though as only western ones available... the grill prawns were good.. and a good variety of drinks and juices.. enjoy

We had our first lunch here and the foods really tasty. I specially like the spring rolls platter and I recommended it simple because it give you some snapshot of the many types of spring rolls in Vietnam. So you can sample taste it as your preparation for a more adventurous meal moving forward. But I suspect it doesn't really serve authentic Vietnamese food but a more fusion type of meal. Either way the food here really good. But sadly it doesn't have good view as the restaurant located at some alley. But I did enjoyed it here. Pricing is above arrange thou.
