I had lunch today at Nguyễn Trung Trực and it is one of the best meals I’ve had in my 10 years in Vietnam. It’s also the first time that I liked fish sauce. That is my new “every time I come to Saigon“ restaurant. Outstanding!
It doesn't look like they are on Google Maps. The best way to go there is to go to the little art alley on Dong Khoi which leads to Okkio and other cafes. Keep going through the alley and you will see some ladies coooking up a bun thit nuong storm

I'm glad to hear it's still as good as I remember! That place RULES. It's really got it all in one bowl.
I find Bun Thit Nuong Kieu Bao to be very delicious. Fish sauce in buckets on the table is awesome. Several locations around HCMC
I’ve never been! I shall investigate
Mine is Nem nướng 79, on Bà Hạt street, near my apartment. It's almost always crowded though..
Omg it looks AMAZING! And you know what they say: more crowded, more delicious…!
Bún Thịt Nướng Chị Tuyền is god-tier.
Right?! I don’t get my friends who say the fish sauce is too sweet
Utter hogwash!
I reject it utterly!
Nguyễn Trung Trực is my go-to, and I like the one on the art alley off Nguyen Hue that leads to the apartment block with cafes on Dong Khoi
What is that one off Nguyen Hue?? I don’t know about it! Do Tell more!
Oh yea, that one is great!
I can’t wait to try this place!!
