Fantastic and noisy place for great food and beer.
Close to the apartment is Bui Huu Nghia Street is very famous for Chinese Style Roast Duck in SaiGon. Many different vendors along the same street. It’s not real street food as one duck can cost you nearly 300.000 VND (around 15$) and it’s not a food that you eat right on the street, you need to bring back home to enjoy!
In Vietnam, roasted duck is usually eaten with bread.
They also have very good Roast Pork (heo quay)
Open: 5:30 AM – 9 PM (and often earlier)
