    The food is intoxicating! It’s heaven for those who like exotic food like shellfish and snails (of different types). You should not miss the oysters (although I strongly advise you to take cooked ones). Sanitation is relatively weak - you are advised to throw the shells/bones below the table - on the floor 😅. The food quality is excellent, and the favours are hot and spicy. Beer is priced low - drink Tiger Crystal which is highly rated locally. Wear light as the place is not aircon.

    This restaurant is located on a busy seafood street and offers a wide variety of snails prepared in different styles. We thoroughly enjoyed every single dish we tried and highly recommend checking it out!

    I had a pretty awful experience here. I came here alone and was repeatedly ignored by the staff. I get that the language barrier makes me a more annoying customer to deal with but I always tried to have Google translate ready with my order and tried to be patient and polite. But seeing people who arrived later than you eat their food and leave without having been served yourself is a bit of a slap in the face. They're also always yelling at one another and one server actually started to hit another (it did not seem like a joke.) It was uncomfortable to witness. As for the food, the crab was very tasty, but the snails I had were truly disgusting (some kind of corn/cheese sauce?) Paid ~430k. Really wish I hadn't gone here. After two weeks of eating amazing food across Vietnam, it was a bummer to have spent my last dinner in the country at this place.

    Very local Vietnamese food! Had problem order as they could barely speak English. But the food here is really good! We tried their grilled pork, clams and stir fried kangkong!

    Popular local seafood restaurant. Dishes were served promptly. Beer service was good. Food was so so. Can be spicy, so better to let them know up front!

  • 5/5 Tee N. 1 year ago on Google • 278 reviews
    Quán ốc gia ca hợp lý. Restaurant had such a variety of choices. Everything tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend this spot for seafood. It gets really busy after 5pm. They do have lots of parking and lots of seating as well so not to worry. I will definitely re-visit soon!

    Seafood restaurant on Saigon seafood street in district 4. Menu was very difficult to order from and there was no pricing on anything including on the drinks menu. I wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you come with someone from the area. Some of our order was delicious however some of the other food was also fairly average.

    Had dinner here as our accommodation was close by. Food tasted decent but we were quite upset by the prices we had to pay as we were considered as “foreigners”. Had ordered a periwinkle dish which was stated as 100k on their menu and was charged 400k when it came to the bill. A local beer was charged 120k which is more expensive than most high end restaurants/clubs. Our total meal costed us 1.4million for 5 dishes including a fried rice dish which was not taken a photo of. Just be aware as they seem to make up prices as they go. I can appreciate good food but dishonest businesses is where I draw the line. Do not recommend

    Seafood place for (mostly) local Vietnamese. Fresh. The place is nice for chit chat with friends. Try this place if you want to feel like local Vietnamese. Recommended.

    Delicious seafood restaurant down the famous 'seafood street' of hcmc. Fresh seafood, it's noisy hot and open air and busy but that just adds to the atmosphere

    The seafood snail coconut taste is not nice. And the four plates food is very hard, should be overcooked. There a alot of seafood restaurant along the street can cook better then here. Not recommended. Go eat fast food better. Price is costly. Added to my black list.

    Fresh and tasty seafood at affordable prices. I highly recommend the grilled prawns, octopus and clams. There is no English menu so you can just refer to the Google review photos and point to them.

    Quite expensive for an Oc restaurant in HCMC. Only So duong (my photo below) is worth the price. 50k/ pcs fresh & big. The rest are over pricing & not so great cooking taste.

    Good for sea snails not sure why the Vietnamese like this. These are fat snails in tamarind sauce you get a skewer to eat with. The snail is chewy at the foot end then mushy organ bit strange taste but just dip it into the green chilli salt sauce. OK. Get tiger beer and watch the mopeds go past.

    Great Vietnamese spot with fresh seafood. The razor clams were the best dish by far. The regular stuffed clams were also delicious. Definitely recommend this place

    I used to hang out a lot in this area, the prices of this restaurant are double or triple than the other’s places. They dont display any price so you will never know until you pay the bill, its quiet suspicious so avoid this place. The food is ok nothing special.

    Open seating area where there is no fan. Was quite windy tonight. Very authentic and many local visit here. Does not see as many tourist as those usual famous places. Overall was above average, vast varieties of items to order. Can be spicy, order carefully.

    The price is from 150,000-200,000 VND in 2022. The portions are quite big, I'm an Asian, I can't afford to eat a portion of that size.Only the place is not too big, but clean. Located in front of the city park

    Local restaurants, fresh seafood with affordable price. Delicious bbq shrimp. Seafood sauce is so tasty. Very busy at dinner time, I order some more food and they forget my order.

  • 3/5 Mingxun T. 1 year ago on Google
    Did you follow a food blog here? Turn back! The food isn’t anything to shout about, but it’s really expensive. A stick of prawn is 100k VND, they constantly forget your order and it’s really a tourist trap. The only good dish were the crabs in Chili, but even that was haphazardly made

  • 4/5 시이라젠느 1 year ago on Google
    A delicious restaurant with regional specialties! The cleanliness was a little disappointing, but the taste was great! Fresh seafood!!

  • 5/5 Angela O. 10 months ago on Google
    District 4 saigon is seriously the best. Don't waste your $$$ in District 1. Get out to Vinh Kanh Street and eat super fresh and affordable seafood. Slipper lobsters 🦞 ♥️ and razor clams with garlic. OMG too good. A real vietnamese experience. Flans near by are also the best, for dessert.

  • 4/5 Sok Yean K. 11 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Franz P. 1 year ago on Google • 9 reviews
    We went for dinner here because the seafood here is very good taste and fresh. The atmosphere here is typical open air Vietnamese style. Service is very good and attentive. We had 5 different dishes and the food was excellent. Price was about 800,000 Dong for two persons. We have been here before and will continue to eat here in the future

  • 5/5 Roy N. 1 year ago on Google
    good food if you want to try exotic food such as snails

  • 4/5 Emy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food and fast, friendly services. Oc len in coconut milk was delicious. Scallop with onions peanuts topping was slightly over cooked. My favorite was a recommendation Oc Dan (cockroach snails?) stir fried with Ung Choy had a great veggie crunch and meaty chew. Three dishes and two beers, the total cost was slightly high considering I ate at another Oc restaurant the next day, that was smaller Oc Cart for half the price. So Oc Oanh is definitely for larger parties where you are seen and be seen.

  • 5/5 Js K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was one of the best place to visit as a foreigner since you can taste the real seafood and feel the vibes in Vietnam. Affordable price with delicious awesome food. Why not going there? Must place to visit!!

  • 4/5 Priscilla L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food. Ate the chili salt crab pincers, bloody clams, bbq octopus, razor clams with greens and the seafood fried rice. Plenty of food with some left for take away, costing 810k total including 2 beers. Keep in mind, my partner and I are VERY big eaters! All of the food was good, particularly the crab and octopus 🔥

  • 5/5 Ross L. 1 year ago on Google

    This is one of the most famous and popular local seafood place. A lot of local people come here for good seafood processed very tasty and good! You can also enjoy a good cold beer while having a “must try” spicy crabs here! Overall, although this is type of side road local restaurant but the quality and delicious food is really cannot be beaten.

  • 4/5 Joseph C. 4 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the food and great atmosphere in the street. We ordered around 7dishes with majority of them having some sort of chilli in it(not spicy though). I think it was more on the expensive side but still way cheaper then what I can have back at home in Sydney.

    for the last evening before we leave hcmc, we went to vinh thanh seafood street we went to recommended oc oanh, looks like the biggest with 3 stalls.. no english no price but quite ok.. we ordered 3 shells-snails etc 100000VND & steamboat 250000VND total we paid 630000VND = S$40 I didn’t think oc oanh is any different from other stalls so maybe can try others who display the shells like razor clams etc then can order more easily 17.9.2019

    (Translated by Google) The restaurant has a very nice location right at the intersection of Dinh Liet and Ta Hien streets. It is very suitable for you to conveniently visit Ta Hien beer street on the weekends. Because it is located in the center of the old town, the price is a bit harsh, small snail is priced at 40 thousand VND / bowl, and the snail is bigger than the price of 60 thousand VND / bowl. However, the snails here are very good, you will feel the freshness. delicious of snails. The snail here is mainly boiled snail and captivates visitors by the delicious dipping sauce with its own recipes that cannot be obtained. (Original) Quán có một vị trí rất đẹp ở ngay đoạn giao giữa phố Đinh Liệt và Tạ Hiện rất thích hợp cho bạn tiện ghé ngang qua phố bia Tạ Hiện những ngày cuối tuần. Vì nằm ở ngay trung tâm phố cổ nên giá có hơi chát, ốc nhỏ có giá là 40 nghìn/bát còn ốc to hơn giá 60 nghìn/bát.Tuy nhiên ốc ở đây rất ngon, ăn vào bạn sẽ cảm nhận được sự tươi ngon của những con ốc. Ốc ở đây chủ yếu là ốc luộc và hớp hồn du khách bởi nước chấm tuyệt ngon với công thức pha chế riêng mà không đâu có được.
