[2025 Ho Chi Minh City Restaurant] Travel Guide for Quan Nem Restaurant (Updated Jul)

If you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City, you must try the banh mi at HONG HOA! Vietnamese cuisine is truly delicious, and the most impressive dish for me was the banh mi. The bread is incredibly tasty, and it's packed with fillings like pâté and pork 🐷. Since I don't like cilantro, I asked them to leave it out. The shop might look a bit shabby and make you worry about hygiene, but trust me, it's absolutely delicious! You have to try it! Another must-try is pho! I went to a local spot frequented by residents. Watching how locals eat, I noticed they added vegetables and some kind of sauce from the table to their pho, so I copied them—and it was delicious! Later, I met up with friends and went for Vietnamese barbecue, which is apparently called bun cha. It's quite famous, so reservations are a must! Vietnamese barbecue is healthy and easy to eat. You dip the meat into a sour soup or sauce, which adds a unique flavor. As for banh xeo and fresh spring rolls, I personally found them underwhelming. Maybe they taste better at other places! Be careful with banh xeo, though—it’s huge! 🤣

When you come to Ho Chi Minh City, in addition to tasting authentic Ho Chi Minh City cuisine, this city also has many cuisines from other provinces. Among them, the most recommended is Hanoi's specialty - Bun Cha Hanoi Hanoi grilled pork slices. At Quan Nem in District 1, the Vietnamese on the sign reads: The Story of Seafood Spring Rolls, so in addition to Hanoi Grilled Pork Slices, don’t miss another must-try snack - Crab Meat Pillow Fried Spring Rolls. The crab meat pillow fried spring rolls are as big as a girl’s fist. After being fried, they are fully bulged and very cute. The waiter will cut the spring rolls into four when serving. The crust is crispy and plump, with sweet crab meat filling, houttuynia cordata, perilla, Vietnamese mint leaves, etc., a perfect combination! #nem #buchahanoi #Hanoi #Ho Chi Minh City #crab meat

#VietnamTravel I traveled to Vietnam with 3 couples, a total of 6 people! Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is a great city to travel to, especially for vacations, sightseeing, and delicious food~! While planning our Ho Chi Minh travel itinerary, we found out that Mui Ne is close to Ho Chi Minh City, so many people bundle the two and go together?! We also wanted to go to Mui Ne desert while we were there, so we went together~ I will share with you a really fun and informative 3 nights and 5 days itinerary in Ho Chi Minh City & Mui Ne😍 Day 1: Check-in at Grand Hotel Saigon - Hana Viet Nam (rattan bag shop) - Ara Moor (District 2 emotional cafe) - Quan Nem (bun cha restaurant) - Ben Thanh Market - Accommodation Day 2: Breakfast at hotel - Move to Mui Ne - Sinbad (kebab restaurant) - White Sand Dune - Red Sand Dune - Hotel swimming Day 3: Check-out at hotel - Pho Quin (rice noodle restaurant) - Little Hanoi (egg coffee) - Cong Cafe - Pink Cathedral - Bap Main (banh xeo, garlic fried rice restaurant) - Massage - Airport [Recommended attractions] 1. Ben Thanh Market: If you go to Ho Chi Minh City, you absolutely must visit Ben Thanh Market! You can really feel like you're in Vietnam, and you can buy a variety of products at low prices, from clothes to dried mangoes and snacks. We each bought the clothes we needed and snacks to take to the company at Ben Thanh Market~! Since the market is inside a building, it was hot, but it was comfortable and easy to move around, so it was great. And I tried sugarcane juice for the first time, and it was delicious!! Mango juice and sugarcane juice were 4,000 won. It's very cheap and delicious, so try it when it's hot👍🏻 2. Mui Ne Desert: We went to Mui Ne on a day trip. Mui Ne is worth a day trip! The pick-up vehicle came to the front of the hotel, and we were able to adjust the course to our liking, so we went to the places we wanted to see as much as we could physically. It was my first time in the desert, and it was amazing and beautiful. In particular, there was a large river in front of the desert, and it was amazing like an oasis in the desert. I felt the greatness of nature once again👍 3. Ho Chi Minh City Hall & Pink Cathedral: If you go to Ho Chi Minh, you must visit the beautiful night view of Ho Chi Minh City Hall and the Pink Cathedral. You will be captivated by the unique and beautiful architecture. City Hall is a place I came across by chance while walking, and it was even more beautiful at night when the lights came on. Be sure to see the beautiful architecture of Vietnam!! 【Recommended restaurants】 1. Pho Quin: I searched for a rice noodle restaurant and went there, and it was the best during my trip to Vietnam!! Please go, especially menu number 2❤️ 2. Sinbad: This is one of the things I included in the Mui Ne desert tour, and I understand why everyone goes here when they go to Mui Ne. The kebab is really really delicious and super cheap. You should definitely try the kebab more than any other menu👍🏻👍🏻 The price was about 3,000 won including Americano!!! 3. Beb Main: You should definitely try the Banh Xeo here, and the garlic fried rice and morning glory. Morning glory on rice is a rice thief🥰 [Recommended hotels] 1. Hotel name: Grand Hotel Saigon 2. Hotel address: 8 Đồng Khởi, Ben Nghé, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam 3. Price per night: Breakfast included, mid-to-late 100,000 won 4. Hotel features: It's a 5-star hotel with 100 years of history in Ho Chi Minh! The swimming pool is especially cute and pretty with a European feel, making it great for taking pictures. And the breakfast here is so delicious👍🏻 【Photo Spots】 1. Mui Ne Desert: We went to a total of three courses, including Red Sand Dunes, White Sand Dunes, and one photo spot. The vast desert really makes for great pictures. The guides took all the pictures for us, and they really took great pictures. Take the best pictures of your lifeㅠEveryone👍🏻 2. Take a picture of the Pink Cathedral on the 3rd floor of Cong Cafe: The Pink Cathedral is a famous place to take pictures because it's pretty, but I recommend going to Cong Cafe across the street and taking pictures. The pictures come out better and the Pink Cathedral seems to be close!! It was killing two birds with one stone because I could taste the famous bean cafe and take pictures at the photo spot~ It was an unforgettable 3 nights and 5 days in Ho Chi Minh and Mui Ne with my friends. Looking at the pictures, I really want to go againㅠㅠ Oh, and since taxi prices in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam are reasonable, you don't necessarily have to book a place to stay in District 1. Please keep that in mind🤍

Ho Chi Minh City is a food paradise, there is no doubt about it! This restaurant near the post office and the Pink Church - Quan Nem Special Vietnamese Spring Roll Restaurant is definitely worth recommending to all diners. By the way, the famous American radio station CNN also recommends this restaurant! The restaurant was very full, so reservations are recommended. The restaurant’s fried crab spring rolls and grilled pork belly slices are must-try signature dishes. When the food is served on the table, the fragrant crispy fried aroma hits your nose, and paired with fresh spiced salad, it satisfies diners' tongues and taste buds!
