Master List: Food

All food posts, sorted by dish/type. Updated Monthly.

100+ Posts! Time to improve navigation/discovery for you!

I’ve already posted a Master Map that you can search by location. Check it out.

Google tells me I’ve visited over 2600 restaurants and cafes in HCMC, which is a frankly silly number - lucky for you (and me, of course), I have another 2000+ on my list of places to go. For your help, I’m compiling all my food and cafe posts in two master lists. New posts added monthly.

I wanted to do a few things here.

1. Update all businesses to the new addresses. It’s kind of confusing, and you can still search by District, but for official purposes I will use the new ones for everything.

2. I will also be checking each business to see if they’ve closed or moved since I posted about them.

   1. Moved businesses get the new addresses.

   2. For closed businesses, I will replace it with another recommendation (if I have one). If I don’t have one, I’ll just delete it so no one is wasting their time.

3. Posts with substantial updates will have a star ( ˚⟡˖ ࣪ ) tag.

Without further ado, let’s go through every food post I’ve posted to date! Pics are all mine and just for illustration.
