The only better way to take in the sight other than being on the riverside is to actually get out on the water yourself, particularly if there is food involved! You can do just that by joining one of the many dinner cruises offered in\u00a0 Ho Chi Minh city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dinner cruises in Saigon are generally 2-3 hours long and include entertainment. Guests will usually need to make their way to their chosen boat&#8217;s departure point at a given time (often around 6:00 PM), although some dinner cruises pick the guests up at their hotels. Once there, they will be let on board and allowed to find a table where they will spend the evening. Protip, get there a few minutes early if you book one of these cruises. The cruise will very likely sell out, and you do not want to get stuck at a table next to the kitchen &#8212; especially since the kitchens for these cruises tend to be noisy due to space restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the boat is out on the river, dinner will be served. Some cruises, like Indochina Queen, have a set menu with table service. Others, like Bonsai cruise, have a buffet with several entree options, usually seafood-based. In either case, vegetarian meals are nearly always available because of Saigon\u2019s large Buddhist presence. The food offered on these Saigon dinner cruises is generally passable but is not the main reason most people book a dinner cruise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main attraction other than the serene, gorgeous view of the city is the entertainment. The river cruises put on shows with magicians, musicians playing traditional Vietnamese instruments, and other types of acts you won\u2019t find back home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some popular Saigon dinner cruises include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indochina Queen, $<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonsai Cruise, $$<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saigon Princess Cruise Dining, $$$<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tickets for the cruises are sometimes available at the door, but we recommend booking online beforehand to ensure availability.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6829\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6829\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6829 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com.jpg\" alt=\"Dinner cruise Vietnam\" width=\"1280\" height=\"851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com-1068x710.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/saigon-river-cruise-planjour-dot-com-632x420.jpg 632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of Saigon&#8217;s dinner cruise boats.

And luckily, the city has a lot of fantastic rooftop restaurants that allow you to look over the bustling streets in style. A panoramic view is the best way for visitors to get a feel for the geography of this modern Asian metropolis. As an added bonus, the rooftop venues are usually much cooler since they are literally above the cramped avenues and motorbike fumes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rooftop restaurants collected in the table below not only offer a unique viewpoint of Saigon but they also generally have really tasty food.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-48\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-48\">\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Name<\/strong><\/span><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Viewing Area<\/strong><\/span><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breeze Skybar<\/span><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marina, Financial District<\/span><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colonial art-deco design gives it a cozy old-world charm.

It is even better when you catch the fish yourself. Combine that with the delicious herbs and spices that the chefs at these DIY fish restaurants sprinkle on the food before grilling or steaming them, and you\u2019ve got a mouth-watering meal you just can\u2019t get at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These \u201cleisure villages\u201d are far from tourist attractions; they\u2019re hotspots for local families and friends to spend the day together. As such, the staff don\u2019t usually speak great English, but you can definitely get by with Google Translate or if you\u2019re willing to gesticulate in order to get your meaning across. They\u2019re relaxing, they\u2019re authentic, and they are a great way for people of all ages to have a unique dining experience together. They\u2019re also a great place to go if you want to have some fun activities to go with your food, since they have hammocks, swimming pools, and sometimes even live shows with traditional music or magic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of the better locations for this unique experience are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nguyen Huu Tho street, located on the westernmost edge of the city (technically, it is just outside the borders of Saigon proper, in the suburban district of Nha Be). It is roughly a 25-minute drive from the center of district 1 without traffic. Two good restaurants for catching your own dinner on the street are \u201cVuon Thu Gian\u201d and \u201cThap Nga.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binh Quoi, an entertainment area built on a man-made island in Binh Thanh district that is a 20-minute drive northeast of district 1.

Some are hidden down back alleys and others have no sign advertising their presence to passersby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying under the radar gives the venues an intimate feel that makes you feel like a member of a private club. It\u2019s a feeling you won\u2019t find anywhere else during a trip to Ho Chi Minh City, since privacy and secrecy are two things sorely lacking in most of the city\u2019s culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6830\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6830 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com.jpg\" alt=\"Speakeasy restaurant\" width=\"1440\" height=\"961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/secret-restaurant-saigon-thehungrysuitcase-dot-com-629x420.jpg 629w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The elegant dishes at these venues are as delightful as the full bars.

A few of our favorites are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shellfish_restaurants_on_Vinh_Khanh\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shellfish restaurants on Vinh Khanh<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">District 4 is known for fresh shellfish (or \u201cOc,\u201d as the locals will call them) and the marvelous Vinh Khanh Street is the hub for eating it streetside. Finding a place to eat shellfish once you arrive at the street certainly won\u2019t be difficult &#8212; there are dozens of shellfish places packed into the busy street &#8212; but it might be a little overwhelming if you are new to Saigon. Shellfish is also a food that can easily go bad if stored incorrectly, especially when it is kept on the sidewalk of a crowded street. So unless you are confident in your own street food appraisal skills, we\u2019d recommend either \u201cOc Oanh\u201d or \u201cOc Loan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you even sit down, the experience will have cemented itself as a memorable one. The sheer number of people crowded onto low plastic stools and tables is a sight to behold. There are singers, musicians, sword swallowers, fire breathers, and dancers performing regularly on the streets in front of the restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6831\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6831\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6831 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1.jpg\" alt=\"Shellfish restaurant Saigon\" width=\"1024\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1-696x488.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Quan-Oc-Vu-on-Vinh-Khanh-scootersaigontour-dot-com-1-599x420.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6831\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the many &#8220;quan oc&#8221; shops on Vinh Khanh, a veritable heaven for shellfish fans. (Image: Scootersaigontour.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you do sit, one of the waitstaff will dart deftly through the throngs of diners to hand you a menu. It will probably be in Vietnamese, and translations won\u2019t help much for most of the items. Luckily many of the menus have pictures and there are standbys like fried noodles with beef, steamed shrimp, and sauteed scallops if you are not sure what to order, but most of the items will be exotic shellfish (\u201c\u1ed1c\u201d or \u201cs\u00f2\u201d) that we virtually guarantee you have not seen or heard of before.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DIY_Barbecue\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY Barbecue<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saigon has a lot of barbecue places where customers pick raw meat and vegetables from a buffet and bring it to their table. The waiter or waitress then brings out a small portable grill, places it in the center of the dining area. The customers then cook the raw food they picked out to the amount of doneness they prefer. Customers can order rice, broth, or noodles to eat with their delicious barbecue. These BBQ restaurants are called \u201cquan lau nuong,\u201d with \u201cquan\u201d meaning \u201cshop,\u201d \u201clau\u201d meaning \u201chotpot,\u201d and \u201cnuong\u201d meaning \u201cbarbecue.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of outdoor DIY barbecue place is not seen in most western countries, possibly because it is generally against health regulations to give customers uncooked meat in an outdoor setting. So unless you are, again, an experienced street foodie, you may want to stick to \u201cQuan Nuong 1\/10\u201d in district 4, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;De Phat Tai&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in district 8, or any other \u201cquan lau nuong\u201d with a lot of people eating there.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6825\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6825\" style=\"width: 1350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6825 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com.jpg\" alt=\"Korean barbecue\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/diy-barbecue-trungdan-dot-com-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diners grill up their own dinner.

This acclaimed and popular tour focuses on introducing diners to memorable street food dining experiences. XO Tours has been working with the same handpicked restaurants for nearly a decade, which means you will be eating at the coolest places without risking sickness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_ps2id\" href=\"#contents\" data-ps2id-offset=\"\">[BACK TO CONTENTS]<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Dining_in_the_Dark\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span id=\"dark\">&nbsp;<\/span>Dining in the Dark<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the dining in the dark restaurant concept is not exactly new, Noir was the first restaurant in Vietnam offering this type of dining experience.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you arrive at Noir you will be instructed to don a blindfold and complete a puzzle wherein you fit nine differently-shaped blocks into nine corresponding holes. The puzzle is meant to transition guests from operating mainly on visual cues to instead focusing on tactile cues; it will help them with the meal ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the puzzle, each diner will be given 3 set menu options to choose from; Western, Asian, and vegetarian.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once each guests chooses which set menu they want, they will be led by a wait staff (who are all blind)\u00a0<\/span>to their table in a dining room that is completely dark. When everyone is seated, the waiter or waitress lets the guests know by guiding their hands where their eating utensils and drinking glass are. When the food is ready, the staff will set down in front of them a 10-course meal beginning with three starters, then three mains, and ending with four desserts. Although 10-courses may sound like a lot, the portion sizes are fairly small, so it&#8217;s not a huge meal.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that everyone in a group orders the exact same set, so that each person can compare what they think they&#8217;re eating with their dinner companions, and at the end of the meal, find out who was the most accurate. You\u2019ll actually be shown photos of your meal after you are finished, but having a little competition with the other members of your party during the meal is a good way to add to what is already sure to be a memorable evening.\u00a0Eating at Noir will surely make you reevaluate the role of sight in your own dining process.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6824\" style=\"width: 1295px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6824 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com.jpg\" alt=\"Blindfolded puzzle\" width=\"1295\" height=\"863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com.jpg 1295w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/noir-puzzle-klook-dot-com-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1295px) 100vw, 1295px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In a lighted room before the dining room, guests blindfold themselves and solve a tactile puzzle.

In fact, the owner designed the machines himself and had them specially engineered.

The restaurant\u2019s rice is prepared in clay pots, which allows it to take in more flavor during cooking. The real fun begins when the rice is ready to eat, though. The chef smashes the clay pot, extracts the sticky rice cake that has been cooking inside, and literally throws it through the air to a waiter, who catches it on a plate and serves it to a diner. The place\u2019s popularity has spurned on the opening of a few locations.
