Back’s Burger - Thao Dien - Hamburger restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Back's Burger on Nguyễn Duy Hiệu has built one of the highest-rated burger spots in Thao Dien — 1,814 Google reviews at 4.9 stars, a score that reflects repeat visitors more than first-timers. The space is intentionally compact, with limited seating that works better for a quick meal or takeaway than a drawn-out dinner. That constraint hasn't slowed the kitchen's pace or the food's consistency.

The signature Back's Burger comes in two builds — mix patty or 100% beef — both loaded with cheddar, BBQ pulled pork, and coleslaw on a toasted bun. For larger appetites, the double-patty Classic Cheese stacks two mix patties with double cheddar. The guacamole cheese fries have developed their own following among regulars, and the crispy fried chicken burger draws equal praise. Portions are generous across the board. A Latin-American and hip-hop soundtrack runs through the dining room, and reviewers note a vibe that blends LA burger culture with Korean touches — the PSY Burger name makes the latter explicit.

The menu extends beyond burgers into pasta: aglio e olio, tomato, cream, and rose sauce preparations with bacon, beef, or shrimp, a range that gives the spot more versatility than the single-concept counter format suggests.

Service pace can stretch during peak hours, but the quality holds steady enough that the same customers return without much deliberation. On Nguyễn Duy Hiệu, where the expat and local crowd overlaps daily, this spot fills a specific gap — well-built burgers at fair prices, reliably executed, with enough personality in the playlist and menu to feel like a deliberate destination rather than a default.
