Xoi Mem Bistro - An Khanh - Vietnamese restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

If you go during meal times, there is a long wait. But the food is delicious, and the restaurant is pretty. However, there is a bizarre phenomenon where there are 20 people in line even though there are more than 10 empty tables. This implies that they cannot rotate tables quickly. It makes you wonder if the restaurant is intentionally aiming for a "waiting marketing" strategy or a "scarcity one-tic" effect. Also, it is crowded with women taking photos for SNS. They leave their bags on the tables to reserve a spot and then go somewhere else to take pictures for 30 minutes. And there are women sitting at tables doing their makeup for 30 minutes, and others who continue applying makeup and taking photos for 30 minutes without even touching their food once it arrives. It seems that all these factors combined make the wait even longer.

pretty good food, the rice is chewy, fragrant, not mushy. The topping for the sticky rice is kinda diverse, good flavor, the meat is also chewy

Came here on a quiet Monday noon, i've tried the food on takeout before and it was amazing so i came by for a visit, everything are even better if you try it at the store and the new seasonal menu also. It will be a bit hot here outside if you cannot take the heat though

📍MUST visit HANOI-styled sticky rice! Xôi Xéo is a common Northern breakfast featured sticky rice, shredded bean paste, and meat toppings. At Mềm, they delivered a fulfilling culinary experience with their new branch in D2. Food were all visually & taste pleasant; Sticky rice is soft and aromatic, which blends well with all the fatty cut of stew pork belly. Venue is ideal for a calm Sunday breakfast. Be mindful the spot is packed within morning time so might take a bit of waiting. ⭐️ suggestion: picked daikon & cucumber should be a bit more sour & acidic. I find it quite bland compared to the rest.
