Ốc Quậy

A good place to come if you live in the neighbourhood. I wouldn't come out of my way here. Wish they had English menus, which made ordering a matter of finding past photos. Otherwise the small dishes allowed you to try more items.

The best restaurant of Ho Chi Minh !! We tried almost all the food and it was very good !!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable local dining experience in Ho Chi Minh City, Ốc Quậy is your secret tip. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warmest hospitality—especially from the Boss Lady, who speaks excellent English and makes everyone feel right at home. Her passion for great food and genuine care for her guests truly set this place apart. The star of the show here is absolutely the snails! Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection, each dish is a celebration of Vietnamese seafood. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned snail lover, you’ll be blown away by the variety and flavors. The atmosphere is lively and authentic, making it a perfect spot for both adventurous foodies and anyone wanting to dive deep into Saigon’s vibrant street food scene. Don’t miss out—Ốc Quậy is a must-visit for anyone wanting to taste the best snails in the city and enjoy a welcoming, friendly vibe. Highly recommended!

Absolutely, worth stopping by. It was one of the top meals we had in Vietnam during 3 weeks backpacking trip including Micheline star and random local (extremely delicious) restaurants/street food stalls. Plus, the owner speaks very good English, which is very scarce in Vietnam. She explained the menu very well and provided good recommendations. To her surprise, we didn't follow it exactly, but we had everything perfectly as we enjoyed :) Fully recommend for Vietnamese seafood!

fast service — our dishes came out in around 1 minute 30 seconds. The snails and seafood were sooo fresh and very well cleaned. Seasoning was just right, flavorful but not overpowering. If you’re visiting Landmark 81, this place is definitely worth trying.
