Thủ Cừu Hoàng Gia _ Nhất Thuỷ Phong - Family restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City
About This Place
Lamb is the reason to come to this riverside spot on Nguyễn Văn Hưởng. The kitchen works through a wide range of cừu preparations — grilled being the standout — making it one of the few places in the Thao Dien area with dedicated lamb cookery rather than a token dish on a generic menu. Seating fans out across a wide, well-ventilated space with views over the river, which keeps temperatures tolerable even on warm Saigon evenings. The setting draws groups looking for somewhere to spread out: colleagues wrapping up the week, families with kids who need room to move, or hosts wanting to impress without paying fine-dining prices. Beer and affordable snacks are on the menu alongside the mains, so the bill stays reasonable for a table of five or six. One consistent note in early reviews: the location at this newer branch doesn't always map cleanly in ride-hailing apps, so first-time visitors are better off saving the pin directly or calling ahead for directions. Service runs lean relative to the size of the room, which can mean slower attention during busy hours. Hours stretch to 11 PM every night, giving it more flexibility than most family restaurants in the neighborhood — useful for anyone arriving after work or coming from District 2 on the other side of the bridge.
Reviews
nice place and affordable snacks and beer
Lamb legs & fried rice are OK but beware of mosquitoes if sitting outside!
Ok
Mình đã ăn ở khá nhiều chi nhánh của quán này nên có chút để so sánh. Riêng chi nhánh này thì đồ ăn theo mình chưa ngon bằng những nơi khác, hương vị vẫn ổn nhưng chưa thật sự ấn tượng. Hôm mình đi lại gặp mưa nên phải dọn bàn vào trong. Dù quán có che nhưng vẫn không kín lắm, ngồi ăn khá lạnh nên trải nghiệm bị ảnh hưởng một chút. Điểm cộng là không gian rộng, thoáng và ngồi khá dễ chịu khi thời tiết đẹp. Giá cả thì không rẻ, nhưng cũng là mức giá quen thuộc của chuỗi này. Hy vọng lần sau quay lại trong điều kiện thời tiết thuận lợi hơn và đồ ăn sẽ đúng phong độ như những chi nhánh khác mình từng ăn.
