Home-style Vietnamese in a villa with a koi pond

Hours: Daily 09:00-23:30
Budget: Mid-range (₫₫) per person
Address: 10 Dang Tat St, Tan Dinh Ward

A koi pond sits in the garden of an old villa, and a second dining room faces it across the street. The kitchen leans toward country-table cooking with produce from the owners' own farm. Tofu fried with chopped lemongrass and chilli and the sour fish soup (canh chua) are the dishes Michelin singles out. For dessert there's fried banana or an intensely herbal sương sâm jelly. It stays open from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., so a missed mealtime isn't a problem.
