The Story

About This Place

Eddie's New York Deli & Diner brings a Route 66 sensibility to Thao Dien — the décor leans 50s and 60s Americana, with a lived-in diner atmosphere that's rare in this neighborhood. The all-day breakfast menu is the main draw: biscuits and pork gravy made fresh, big breakfast burritos stuffed with scrambled eggs, peppers, and onions, and full platters stacking pancakes, ham, bacon, sausage, and home fries onto a single order. The kitchen runs equally well at lunch and dinner, producing double smash burgers, Reuben sandwiches loaded with corned beef, and a mac'n'cheese with chili con carne that regulars repeatedly single out.

Milkshakes generate consistent attention across the 1,600-plus reviews — the peanut butter and salted caramel and the Oreo versions come up most often, and the house recipe keeps sweetness calibrated rather than overwhelming. Freshly baked cinnamon buns and toasted bagels round out a pastry selection that pulls early-morning visitors as reliably as the lunch crowd.

Portions run large and prices stay accessible for the neighborhood. The 600K combo — spaghetti, steak, fries, and roasted chicken — gives a sense of the kitchen's scale. The menu extends well beyond the American diner label: Chinese dishes, vegetarian options, and a full burrito lineup appear alongside the diner classics, and Coke comes with free refills.

The crowd skews toward expat families and visitors looking for a reliable full breakfast outside of hotel dining, alongside neighborhood regulars who return for the burger and shake combinations. Tables fit groups of four comfortably, and the space handles walk-ins even on weekends. Service draws frequent mention — staff are noted as attentive and approachable, and occasional complimentary touches like a waffle dessert have made it into multiple independent reviews.

Wow! I must say, as a Chef, native New Yorker and Deli lover I was VERY PLEASANTLY Surprised by Eddies! I had a surgical procedure at the local clinic and was really looking to just relax and have some good healthy food and I got even more than I had anticipated. The service was over the top good and the detail in the food prep was noticed: the chicken soup was incredible! Food broth, lots of chicken that was not overcooked until it was too tough. And of course, fresh dill in a chicken soup always makes it extra special. Even the sauerkraut had caraway seeds added to it!! I asked for tomato in my grilled cheese and it came out perfect. The hot dog brought me back to Coney Island for a brief second and fun 50s music made the atmosphere a perfect place!!! Thank you Brad!!! (I heard your father and family was from Minnesota which explain explains why everyone is so nice here!!!!

I was really fortunate to have met the restaurant owner there. Prices are affordable and the portion is insanely generous. Eddie's definitely among of the theme restaurant gems here at Vietnam. The milkshake cream is actually pretty clever, it's not too sweet at all so it balances out the sugar count. Food is just mind blowing, it's not because it's one of the few restaurants that serves these kind of Route 66 / American theme food, it's 100% cuz of the quality, the flavour is just insanely underrated. Service and atmosphere are nice and I left a tip there cuz of satisfaction. Would definitely recommend people to try this place if they ever feel bored.

We had such a fun and delicious meal at Eddie’s New York Deli & Diner in Ho Chi Minh City! The double smash burgers were outstanding — juicy, stacked, flavorful, and honestly one of the best diner-style burgers we’ve had anywhere. Absolute perfection. Eddie’s also serves breakfast all day, and the menu is huge. Pancakes, eggs, biscuits & gravy, breakfast burritos — everything and more than you’d expect from a classic American diner, served any time of day. It feels like stepping right into an old-school diner from back home, complete with retro American music playing in the background. The atmosphere is upbeat and nostalgic, the service is friendly, and the food is exactly what you want when you’re craving real American comfort food. Highly recommend Eddie’s for amazing smash burgers, all-day breakfast, and a super fun diner experience!

I absolutely love this place. Eddie's does it right and has the Americam diner feel down to a tee. From breakfast all day to the vibrant diner feel, they have a way of making you feel welome and right at home. We ordered a patty melt, and a burger with vanilla, and a peanut butter and salted caramel milkshake. Their shakes are the best! They also have such an amazing menu with a variety of choices that we will definitely be back to try the things we couldn't this time. The service is also friendly and attentive and not in an overbearing way. I'm genuinely excited that this place exists in D2. Try it for yourself!
