6 Must-Eat Dishes in Ho Chi Minh City Over 72 Hours (2025): My Personal Picks
Saigon is one of my favourite food cities, and over 72 hours, I munched on some absolute classics. Now, I’m no expert in Vietnamese cuisine, but these six dishes are perfect for my personal palate, and I think you’ll love them too!
🍜 Bún thịt nướng – Grilled pork with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, and a splash of fish sauce. Light yet flavour-packed.
🍳 Bánh xèo – Crispy pancakes filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, perfect for wrapping in greens.
🍲 Bánh canh – A comforting bowl of thick, chewy noodles in a rich, savoury broth.
🥖 Bánh mì – The iconic Vietnamese sandwich with layers of pate, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs in a crispy baguette.
🔥 Bún bò Huế – A bold and spicy beef noodle soup from Hue, bursting with flavour.
🥗 Gỏi khô bò – A refreshing green papaya salad topped with dried beef and crunchy peanuts.
Whether you’re exploring Saigon for the first time or are a seasoned visitor, these dishes are a brilliant way to experience the city’s vibrant food scene. Which one would you try first?

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this YouTube channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!
