Great riverside local fish restaurant where you will scarcely meet another foreigner. Very local - seems frequented mainly by local Vietnamese business owners. It has a wonderful ambiance, with gentle breeze. You feel in Vietnam here. And locals are very kind and friendly.

Food is good but the price is very high. Their specialty is snake head fish. But they grill overheat and burn. But atmosphere is good, by side of saigon river.

The place was reverberating with celebrations and wails of joy from the cheering after work crowd. Beautiful views from the table of the Saigon River. We tried the fried baby squid that had a subtle concoction of spices still preserving the natural aroma. A must try. Then, the grilled prawns in sticks goes so well with the lemon mint chilli sauce - a perfect buddy to the beers. Then, for the rice lovers, the seafood tofu is a great choice to fill up on. Beers taste much better with great food, and this place is there to deliver. Overall, Food - 4 Ambience - 4 Views - 4.5 Service - 4.5 [very prompt]

Good view. The restaurant located near the Saigon River. The space is always cool and airy. It’s decorated by bamboo and wood. The best type of food in there is seafood. You can choose some fish are swimming in the tank, some shrimp or some squid. Everything is fresh. One of the best dishes here is Squid sauna. They will put hot stone in the pot and place Squids on top. Then they pour the broth into the pot. Very fresh and tasty. I recommend to try it.
