2025 Bình Thạnh Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#earthdayjourney Few people think that a bowl of pho with meat and beef balls in this land of Saigon, costs only 35k. The special thing here is not that you can ask for more pho noodles or more beef but the price is only 35k. That is because of the owner of the restaurant. I am shy to ask how old she is, but I can guess that she is around 80. May I call her Grandma, with white hair, a thin and petite body. Perhaps because of her health, Grandma does not have a fixed schedule and often takes a break (due to her health). Grandma sells alone, no one helps. Some days she sells pho, some days she sells beef stew, vermicelli or chicken vermicelli. Although it is so hard, Grandma always has a smile on her lips. Grandma sells so cheaply that even first-time customers (like me) give her a little extra. If anyone wants to come and support, you can stop by the foot of the bridge on Bui Huu Nghia Street (Binh Thanh District). Grandma sells from around 1:30 pm until she sells out. When I come around 4 pm, I rarely see Grandma still selling. As long as she has the health, Grandma will still sell, working hard and always with a loving smile on her lips.

#earthdayjourney THERE IS A PHO SELLING HERE WITHOUT BROTH 🤔 Binh Thanh has a restaurant selling authentic Hanoi food, there is also a hot boy sitting and rolling pho right in front of the restaurant 😅 📍 Pho Cuon House - 46 D5, Binh Thanh ⏱ The restaurant is open from 9:00-21:00 I haven't had a chance to go to Hanoi yet, so I ate Hanoi food first. The restaurant doesn't have pho broth, only pho rolls, pho tron, pho chien phan, nem chua ran typical of Hanoi 🤣. Pho rolls and pho tron are my two favorite dishes, the sauce is super delicious. I have the menu below, the space is clean and beautifully decorated, a restaurant with authentic Hanoi flavor right in Saigon, everyone should try it.

#earthdayjourney - Large restaurant, airy space, many trees. There is an outside area for fresh air, and a quiet air-conditioned inside area - Highly recommend pink grapefruit cherry because it's delicious. Drinking a cup of hibicus tastes like medicine so it's very strange :)))) - There is a beautiful mirror outside, very enchanting - Around 8pm, it starts to get crowded. Parking in front of the shop is staffed, no parking card required and free of charge

#earthdayjourney HIDE - SAIGON CAFE -- 𝗧𝗿ố𝗻 - An old but new cafe located on Ngo Tat To Street, Binh Thanh District. This is a small street with bustling shops and signs, the shop will be a bit hidden so if you walk too fast, you may pass by without knowing, but because of this point, I think the name 𝗧𝗿ố𝗻 of the shop will be true to its inherent spirit. 🌟Regarding the design of 𝗧𝗿𝗻, the shop uses gray walls as the main color and has 3 spaces inside, the width of the shop is not too wide but in return 𝗧𝗿𝗻 has depth, with a small garden covered with gravel located between the 2 front and back houses of 𝗧𝗿𝗻, making me feel more comfortable and closer to nature when sitting here. The next thing I like about 𝗧𝗿𝗻 is that although it is located on a busy street, the scenery and space around 𝗧𝗿𝗻 is very quiet, I observed that many people come here to read books and study, I think this is a good place for those who need to concentrate. 📋Regarding the menu of 𝗧𝗿𝗻, there are full dishes of machine-brewed coffee, traditional coffee and cold brew coffee. In addition, the shop also serves iced tea, milk tea, chocolate, matcha and other interesting drinks waiting for you to discover. I will post the menu in the review of the drinks I drank at the shop. 🌟A true coffee shop for those who are looking for a place to hide from the hustle and bustle of Saigon. If you like quiet, 𝗧𝗿𝗻 is a place not to be missed😊 ⏱: Mon - Sun, 6:00-22:00 💵: From 45,000 - 65,000 VND 🏠: 87 Ngo Tat To Street, Ward 21, Binh Thanh, HCMC

#vietnamtrip keng saigon has a space with a gentle, cozy brown-gray color scheme. The shop has many comfortable tables and chairs for cafes, working, studying. The drinks are probably the part that the shop should review the most. Leon ordered Bac Xiu Coffee, the coffee tasted bitter and too sweet. Pineapple Coffee also looked quite good in appearance, but the taste was just as bitter. The shop staff was enthusiastic and cute, but the instructions for where to park when I arrived were a bit confusing and far from the shop. After that, customers who came later were able to park their vehicles in the yard of the shop without having to take them elsewhere.Free parking Address: 136/8 Van Kiep Street, Ward 3, Binh Thanh District.
