The Story
About This Place
Sitting on a quiet stretch of Nguyễn Bá Lân, Union Jack's has earned a reputation that runs well beyond the expat community that first put it on the map. The fish selection covers barramundi (listed as seabass), ling cod, sweetlip snapper, and ling cod salmon — each available battered and fried in medium or large portions alongside handcut chips. The snapper is described in reviews as firm and flaky under a particularly crisp batter; the triple-cooked chips are made in-house and represent a genuine investment in technique over the standard approach. Beyond the core formula, the kitchen offers potato scallops (battered potato slices, available thin or thick), salt 'n' pepper chips tossed in Chinese-style seasoning, and bangers and mash that earned consecutive repeat visits in at least one reviewer's account.
Sunday shifts the room: the roast dinner — generous portions of tender meat, crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and a gravy rich enough to stand on its own — has accumulated its own stream of five-star commentary and is frequently cited among the better British roasts available in Ho Chi Minh City. A single large order often covers two.
Breakfast rolls extend the range into morning hours: an English Breakfast Roll with banger sausages, back bacon, and caramelized onion; a double bacon version in homemade bread. The house-made Branston pickle has earned specific mention from regulars who grew up with the real thing.
The space is dog-friendly and skews unhurried. Motorbike parking out front is limited. Hours vary by day — closed Wednesday and Saturday, shorter hours on Thursday and Friday — worth confirming before the trip.

What a brilliant roast dinner, best I've had in Asia. The portion sizes are very big, definitely worth the price. Very nice and welcoming staff. Everything was seasoned perfectly,gravy was perfect. Will be back
Had the ling cod and the triple-cooked chips, and everything was really good. The fish tasted fresh and the chips were incredibly crispy on the outside but fluffy inside. Not greasy at all. Definitely hit the spot.
Really enjoyed my experience here. The fish & chips were honestly so good, probably one of the best i have had in saigon The staff were also very friendly and helpful. They rcm the most popular dishes on the menu and their suggestions were absolutely worth trying I ordered delivery today and their website really convenient to use with flexible payments and the staff replied really quickly too Definitely a place to come back to
I had a hankering for a Sunday Roast so after having a look it seemed like four places that had a roast. I decided on Union Jack and ended up with three course lunch lol 🤣. Carrot and coriander soup , pork Roast and apple crumble and custard, The soup was light and subtle, hot and portion size was just right. The roast was as good as you are going to get in Vietnam. It’s not a Campden Town pub roast. But it is pretty good.The apple crumble and custard took me back👍. If it was an apple and rhubarb and custard it would be the dogs nuts 👌 Staff were very attentive and english speaking. Top effort.
