Green Monkey Saigon occupies a narrow building on Đỗ Quang street in Thao Dien, run by Vuko and his wife Ngọc — a couple whose visible investment in the details has built a loyal following among both expats and locals. The menu centers on Mediterranean-style sandwiches and wraps built on house-baked baguettes, with the Medley Charcuterie standing out for its deliberate approach to cured meats: each is layered so it contributes its own character — richness, salt, depth — without any single one overwhelming the rest.
The baking extends well beyond the bread. The homemade vegan Snickers bar has developed its own word-of-mouth separate from the main menu — dense, sweet, and substantially better than its name might suggest. The cinnamon biscuit is a consistent repeat order. On the drinks side, house infusions, a coco-matcha glow, and an oat latte that regulars rate among the best in Saigon round out a list that reflects the same care as the food. Coffee orders arrive with complimentary bruschetta, a small gesture that reveals how the place operates.
The ground floor seats are quieter; upstairs, a plant-lined balcony catches the morning light and has become a go-to for anyone working through the morning on a laptop. The space feels lived-in rather than curated — the kind of place where details were added because the owners wanted them, not because an interior designer specified them. Portions are generous enough that takeaway is a practical option even after eating on-site.
Closed Tuesdays; open 8 AM to 9 PM throughout the rest of the week. The stretch of Đỗ Quang itself is quiet and tree-lined, and a walk after eating is easy — which fits the unhurried pace that most people end up settling into once they arrive.
We were craving sandwiches and healthy options for lunch and tried out Green Monkey - so delicious and a really lovely spot!!! The owner is very nice and her skills with baking fresh breads and cookies as well as making different infusions for their drinks is definitely impressive. Great toppings and selection for the pita’s, wraps and sandwiches. We will definitely be back! The street where Green Monkey is located is also really nice, cool area to enjoy a walk after you get a great lunch 😊
Food is more than just delicious, cinnamon biscuit is yummmm 🤤 I love sitting outside at the balcony in the morning. It's quite chill. The plants need to be taken care a lil bit then you have amazing place. The man staff who wears like a chef is so friendly and nice. I will be back 😬🙏🏻
The food and drinks and the service and the place itself is crazy good. We stopped for breakfast and loved it. The portions are huge, so we even got to take away half for later. The appetizers and huge complimentary cookie for the coffee were a nice surprise. Thank you for the great experience 🙏
