    Located in front of Park Hyatt in District One Ho Chi Minh (one side of their hotel). The area is an upscale area, please expect upscale pricing as well. Unexpectedly, the restaurant was up to the standard, or I may say exceed my expectations. There is only motorcycle space for parking (did not ask, just by observing), and yes the booking from Google did the job, my request for booking and smoking area was fulfilled. Kindly be advised, there is only 6 seating table in the smoking area first floor where I seated. The other seating are inside with proper air condition and I assumed it was non smoking. Almost everyone on the service area speak good English (if not fluent). Cannot rate all, since only interacted with some. The foods were exceptional. Drinks are up to the standard. Service was wonderful, there was always a service staff waiting during my dinner from bread to dessert. Upselling of drinks also enforced. Hospitality standard of 5 star hotel (even though its a restaurant). Kitchen to restaurant area also around 40%:60% space (more or less, pardon my mistake should it have been wrong) Last order will be 23:00, however, they shall wait for you to finish your drinks, no rush. Bonus: they prepare a power bank for us who are power hungry. Bring your own cable though. :) Overall, its a wonderful experience, surely will come back when I have the opportunity. :) Home mix of Vodka Caramel its a must try. Food suggestion will be as per your liking, don't afraid to ask for a suggestion, taste only two, expecting that all of them are good. Would personally thanks Candy for the hospitality during the dinner experience. Cost for 2 main course dinner with 2 side dish, dessert, loads of liquors and cocktails (4 people), expect around 5.5 million Vietnamese Dong.

  • 1/5 Minh Duc T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very overrated. They don’t know how to cook steak properly. No seasoning (not even a grain of salt), outside is way over cooked (almost burnt). I ordered medium, because all the steak in Vietnam I’ve had was very undercooked when asking medium rare. This place was no different, some parts were well done, some parts were beyond rare. There were 3 people, we all ordered steaks and all were raw. I ordered the 9oz platinum and someone ordered the 9oz black angus, and they were exactly the same. Just a toothpicks saying they were different. Complete waste of money. Way too expensive for the food. If you have had real steak, this is not the place. Presentation is terrible, they give you a piece of stake on a giant plate with nothing else. Sides aren’t even included with steaks, you have to buy them separately. They charge way too much for very poorly cooked steaks. I would say avoid this place. Pros: + Nice Staff + The interior was nice Cons: - Don’t know how to cook steak - “Filet Steak” no difference between Platinum and Angus - Overpriced - Poor Presentation - Slow - No place to park

    El Gaucho Argentinian Steakhouse serves the best steaks 🥩 in Ho Ch Minh City👍🏼 Known for its premium meats from Argentina, US and Australia, El Gaucho serves the most delicious steaks with a large collection of alcohol and wine pairings available. Service is excellent but be prepared to pay north of US$120 to $150 per person for the excellent meal. This restaurant is well located in proximity of the best hotels in the city, within walking distance to the Sheraton, Le Méridien, Park Hyatt and Caravelle. Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    (Translated by Google) Steak level is outback level The price is the level of Bone & Bread After all, I focus more on interior and other things than main food. The bread tastes the best so I give it separately (Original) 스테이크 수준은 아웃백수준이고요 가격은 본앤브레드 수준입니다 역시나 메인음식보다는 인테리어나 그외적인것에 많이 집중하네요 빵이 제일 맛납니다 그래서 별세개 드립니다

    Quiet as I went early around 5pm. Been to others they have as well. This one is good the food well cooked. Good steakhouse in HCMC. Staff very friendly and they have some good deals eg 1st Tuesday every month the steaks are 50% off.

    El Gaucho exceeded expectations with its authentic Argentinean fare and inviting ambiance. From perfectly grilled steaks to attentive service, every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch. The rustic charm of the decor added to the overall delight. El Gaucho is a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Argentina's culinary excellence. The professionalism of El Gaucho's staff was evident from start to finish.

    Had a great dining experience here. The atmosphere was very classy and the service was great! Really loved the food. We got the filet, NY strip, and garlic mashed potatoes! They provide complimentary bread as well. It’s expensive but the food lived up to the price.

    This's my second visit which was as good as the 1st one. I ordered the wagu beef burger with additional cheese this time. So far, it's the best burger I've had. I also love the free schnapps - wish I could have more.

  • 5/5 Food L. 5 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Really good and tender steak. The starter bread was really good with baked garlic. I particular liked the caesar salad. Sauces are a tad bit too salty for me. But overall it was a nice experience.

  • 4/5 Nguyen Xuan Thu H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The restaurant is decorated very well, the manager or the owner of the foreigner is quite enthusiastic, but I have a little unhappy point when riding a motorbike to ask for a place to park the guys to protect the wor outside not happy with customers. really, I don't know how to ask the right restaurant, when I went to the staff, I saw myself standing at the door, I didn't bother asking if you would book a table, standing still with your friends saying that if you set the table, you will only go to the manager. the owner. The food is ok, eating beef is getting a discount, so it's ok (Original) Quán ăn trang trí phong cánh rất ok, anh quản lý hay anh chủ người nước ngoài khá nhiệt tình, nhưng mình có điểm ko hài chút khi đi xe máy đến hỏi chỗ gửi xe mấy anh bảo vệ wor ngoài ko dc vui với khách cho lắm, ko biết hỏi đúng bv quán ko, khi đi vào nhân viên thấy mình đứng ngay cửa cũng ko buồn hỏi chị có đặt bàn ko , đứng lúc vớ dc bạn nv nói chị có đặt bàn thì mới chỉ tới chỗ anh quản lý hay chủ quán đó. Đồ ăn làm ok ngon , lúc ăn bò đang được giảm giá nên ok lắm

    First and for most when you walk in the vibe is immaculate. Dim lights, good music and cold ac. For starters the appetizers were astonishing and delicious. A Spanish taste that brings you back home. Lavish Crispy tender Salmon worth the wait. Grass fed Australian steaks cooked to perfection. If you’re tired of traditional Vietnamese food this is the place! FIVE STARS ✨🥩

    Excellent service and delicious steak. Came here for lunch and got a ribeye steak, striploin, bone marrow, and fries. The ribeye was tender while the fries and bone marrow were cooked to perfection. I was assisted by Mimi and she took initiative to check in on us about our food. My medium-rare striploin was overdone initially and Mimi replaced it for me immediately without hesitation. She remained apologetic and was generous to offer complimentary dessert and a vodka shot to make up for the overdone striploin even though we deemed it a small matter and still enjoyed our meal despite the small hiccup. Would come back again for the food and service. :) Had one of my best meals in vietnam here and El Gaucho is lucky to have Mimi as part of the team. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Very happy with my experience. Got the prime rib med rate,roasted mushrooms, garlic mash potatoes and asparagus. They give you roasted garlic heads with butter and bread and it was heavenly. At the end they have me a shot of the Carmel liquor, Delicious! Attentive service, good music. Fine way to end my trip in Saigon(Ho Chi Minh)

  • 5/5 Paul B. 11 months ago on Google
    If you happen to be in Ho Chi Min City, I highly recommend this restaurant. Visited with my wife in April 23. Very busy, so would suggest reservations. Service was very good and food excellent. Probably one of the best steaks I have had outside of the US (I am UK). Wife is a vegetarian and she really enjoyed the meal they prepared for her. Tables are close together, but not intrusively so. Atmosphere good.

  • 5/5 Joshua N. 1 year ago on Google
    Would be criminal if I don't give this place 5 stars. Steak that we ordered for sharing was done well, so were the aglio olio pasta (balanced taste with the cheese) and garlic prawn. We ordered 2 glasses of red each to go with the mains (Corte c, and tuscany) and had a great time. For desserts, nothing to fault with the homemade cheese cake and fruit platter. To top it off, they gave complimentary shots of vodka when we settled the bill. Would recommend coming at night (way better atmosphere).

  • 5/5 Sebastian Gomez T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 L L. 1 year ago on Google
    The juicy ribeye medium rare, just what I want!! Side dishes a bit salty. Appreciate all the little things there as in serves on real hot plate, soft and fresh breads and finished with a complementary caramel vodka in the end to wash out the oily. Prepare the price at the high end in HCMC.

  • 5/5 James W. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Or B. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent Argentinian steakhouse, everything was really delicious and the event we came for "the meat" was great. It's really not a cheap restaurant and you should know that. Other than that everything was great!

  • 4/5 Duy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was great, nice ambiance, tables are too close to each other on second floor. Big portion, well seasoned and on the salty/oily side.

  • 5/5 Alejandro Z. 11 months ago on Google
    As South American growing up in bbq culture, can express how much I like this place. Is not simply a steakhouse, is massage for the soul. Year after year since 2016 coming and quality, flavor, atmosphere, service, term of cooking keeps consistency impeccably.

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, fresh food and a nice atmosphere. The service is definitely top notch here, and the food came out on a hot plate quite literally. The meats were very high quality, tender. Besides that,the prices are a bit high but that's to be expected from this establishment if you've ever been to their other branches.

  • 5/5 챙굴 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious and good, but the problem is the price is similar to Korean restaurant Properly eating high-grade meat will make 100,000 won per person. But when you are tired of local food or want to experience something high-quality It's great if you go to Flex and eat it once. (Original) 맛있고 좋은데 문제는 가격이 한국 레스토랑이랑 비슷합니다 ㅋㅋ 제대로 높은 등급의 고기를 먹으면 인당 10만원도 거뜬합니다. 근데 현지식에 지쳤거나, 뭔가 고급진 느낌을 경험해보고 싶을때 한번 가서 Flex하며 먹어주면 딱 좋습니다.

I'm shocked once again that there are a lot of people who are satisfied with this steak level at this price... Bread is the most delicious level of meal The price is on the level of knockout, but the steak level is about outback (Original) 가성비 최악의 레스토랑... 최고의 스테이크라하여 가서 프라임 가장 높은 등급을 시켜봤다 이 가격을 내고 이 스테이크 수준에 만족하는 사람들이 많다는것에 다시한번충격... 식사중 빵이 가장 맛있는 정도의 수준 가격은 뜨락 수준인데 스테이크수준은 아웃백정도
