Chài Village

Food got a lot of variety. Highly recommend their cheese lobster and jellyfish salad. Service also nice with 小雪 always keep follow up our experiences. I walk in during weekdays without reservation. The price show at their menu is 789,000 VND++, so be aware that it's not including tax yet. Drinks is a seperate order and cost individually.

The food quality and service at Chai Village were actually quite good. The staff were friendly, and the dishes we ordered were enjoyable. However, I would strongly advise against spending money on the claw machine. At first, it seemed relatively easy to win, and we managed to catch a few plush toys. But after winning 3 toys in around 10 tries, the machine suddenly became much harder. The plush toys appeared to be packed so tightly together that it was almost impossible for the claw to get underneath or grip anything properly. We continued trying for another 15 attempts but couldn't catch a single toy. It ended up feeling like a waste of both money and time. While we enjoyed the food, this part of the experience left us quite disappointed. Hopefully, the claw machine can be adjusted to make it feel fairer for customers.

During our short holiday to hcmc, my family and I looked for a reputable seafood restaurant to go to and we landed on Chai Village after seeing loads of positive reviews about the place. However, everything was disappointing. Every seafood dish was overcooked and served luke warm even though they claim to make it after you place an order. Octopus tasted like rubber bands. Crab had no flesh. Lobsters and giant prawns were small and overcooked. Sea urchin was alright. The self-service buffet section was atrocious too. The only thing worth consuming there was the kimchi. They served sushi and some fried items which were there from the time we arrived to the time we left. Nothing was added and it was just sitting there exposed. Food poisoning waiting to happen. The service staff were attentive and proactive but hardly spoke English. When the staff asked me how the food was at the end and I said it was overcooked. She didn’t know how to react and just asked us to leave a Google review - probably following mgt’s instructions. Furthermore, there’s a live band that’s playing and doing a horrible job at covering popular songs. They absolutely butchered every song and ruined the atmosphere. I was shouting just to talk to my family members seated opposite me. Would never come back again.

Came expecting a great meal and excellent seafood. Food was ok, but severely overpriced. At $50 a head was expecting a lot better due to positive reviews but the crab and lobster were very small and side dishes although free were not kept cold when should have been. Then was forced to leave a positive review to be able to get the check to pay. Half the items shown in images were not available.

The food at Chài Village Seafood Restaurant was good, and the staff were friendly. The environment was nice and pleasant. However, it's quite expensive compared to other similar seafood restaurants nearby. Also, there's no special access or toilet for people with disabilities, which is something to keep in mind. Overall a decent spot, but be prepared to pay more
