Pingu's Burger - Hamburger restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

If you like juicy burgers, this is a place for you. Service is nothing short of great. Being an indoor place, don’t plan to hang out. Come, order, enjoy, and leave happy.

I was surprised that buns were very soft. The sauce is too sweet, so I think it would be good to reduce the sweetness a little more and bring it closer to a demi-glace sauce style. Or, give the patty a little more salt and pepper, and I think even just the saltiness of the cheese would also bring out the original deliciousness of the ingredients. (But it’s better if the saltiness isn’t too strong, isn’t it..) The staff’s eloquent English and atmosphere were nice.

They have all the basics (and more) that you can find in the West when it comes to burgers. The burrito is a bit wet. Personally, I don't like a burrito that is wet inside, but it's still good. I also got Pingu's burger, and to me, it's one of the best burgers I've had in Vietnam. I've had Eddie's, Back's, Soul, and Bunz Burger (all are top-tier burger joints), and this one is up there. I love ice cream, but I'm a bit lactose intolerant, so I avoid it unless it's excellent, and this place has one of the best, if not the best, vanilla ice cream in Vietnam. I was not expecting it since it was free... On top of all this, condiments are free, including jalapeños (super rare in Vietnam, which is why it's kinda pricey) 🤯🤯 The only thing I would add to this place is root beer to the drink option. THEN you can make root beer floats with their delicious vanilla ice cream. 🫡 The only negative part is the whole place probably fit 5-6 people. Quite small... and since its in a small street neighborhood, only limited motorbike parking is availiable...

Meat Lover or Gym Bros gonna love this place. 🤤Fulfeeling of meat, high protein and sugar-free ice cream The price is reasonable (I think), I ate "clean" my dishes here 🤣 Next is gonna be Post-Work Meal 💪🏼 ☝🏼Small place (5 tables for 2ppl)

Great burger spot hidden in an alley! Finding Pingu’s Burger takes a bit of effort, but it’s absolutely worth it. The burgers are fantastic—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in Thao Dien and craving a great burger, this is the place to go!
