Eddie's (District 1) New York Deli & Diner

The restaurant has a nice vibe, although it feels a little small. I stopped by around lunchtime, and it was still quite busy. The food seems to cater well to tourists, as I noticed quite a lot of travelers dining here. The staff are also quite good at communicating in English, which made ordering and interacting with them very easy and natural. Personally, I found the food a little too salty, although I get the impression that this is simply part of the restaurant’s style and seasoning. The location is very convenient, right in the city center. However, since the restaurant is relatively small, it can feel a little cramped, especially when it’s busy. One thing to keep in mind: my phone signal completely disappeared once I went inside, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly lose reception!

An amazing American Diner in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh - this specific location is close by to District 1 - but there are other locations as well! The owner, Eddie himself, came out to greet guests at every table to make sure we were all comfortable and had what we needed. He explained that they offer free water and refills are free on soda. I’m from NZ and my partner is American - Eddie shared a story that Federation Deli in Auckland was what drew inspiration for him opening his very own Diner in Saigon! A neat little fun fact. If you want authentic, delicious and filling American diner food I highly suggest this spot. We’ll be back for dinner or another breakfast. If you get the chance to chat to Eddie know he’s super lovely and will make sure you are attended to and enjoying your time at the restaurant. I had the full breakfast + a serving of biscuits and gravy (the gravy was super delicious). My partner ordered the tex mex cast iron and loved this as well. All around delicious food 🙏😍🇺🇸🥓🍳☕️

What an incredible American dining experience you can find in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City! The location is easy to access and you can't miss it with its bright neon signs that makes you feel like you've entered the US. The staff is very communicative and informative about the restaurant. They will take care of you and make sure you have served with every possible thing you need. The inside is filled with vintage singers , idols, and soothed with 80s tracks. A true american experience, relaxing and unforgettable! The menu seems a bit overwhelming at first, but eventually it all comes down to what you want to eat on the day you go. Yes, because this menu has daily deals based on the days of the week! Burgers, burritos, fries, milkshakes, hotdogs... you name it and you will see it! I truly recommend this place for anyone wanting to experience an American diner in Vietnam!

This is a fun spot with a thorough American diner theme. The menu has everything you'd expect from a classic diner—burgers, hot dogs, pancakes, fried chicken, milkshakes, and apple pie! It’s the kind of place where you relax and enjoy dynamic, rustic flavors rather than looking for subtle delicacy. The staff are all notably kind and friendly. I especially love their melt-in-your-mouth pancakes, which I suspect might use baking soda for that texture, and I’ve even ordered them for delivery!

The food is good. Onion rings average. Burger was good, and the fries more average. The milkshake was superb. The decor was nice. The staff were English speaking. Price was right. The bathroom needs better care. I had to fight with the dispenser to get soap and it was messy there.
