Bui Vien Walking Street Night Market

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

About Bui Vien Walking Street Night Market

HCMC's nightly pedestrianized street festival - from 7pm the Bui Vien strip closes to traffic and becomes a wall-to-wall carnival of street food carts, beer vendors, live music, and fire performers. Chaotic, cheap, and brilliantly fun for solo travelers.

🍜

Nha Hang Ngon

HCMC's most loved introduction to Vietnamese regional cuisine - a restored French villa where stalls around the courtyard serve specialties from every Vietnamese province. Banh mi from Hoi An, bun bo from Hue, banh xeo from Da Nang - all under one elegant roof.

🍜

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa

Widely considered the best banh mi in Vietnam - the bold claim is backed by legendary queues at this tiny shophouse on Le Thi Rieng. The pork rolls are stuffed to almost comic excess with pate, cold cuts, pickled daikon, and herbs. Open from 2pm until sold out.

🍜

Oc Dao Restaurant

HCMC's famous seafood snail restaurants (quan oc) are a Vietnamese institution - piled-high plates of whelks, clams, sea snails, and oysters cooked in a dozen different sauces. Oc Dao is the best of the cluster on Hoang Sa Street, serving cold beer and fresh shellfish in chaotic, joyful outdoor seating.
