Where to have dinner in District 1?

After stressful working hours, diners and colleagues, friends can choose to enjoy delicious food in a quiet space at 5 restaurants in District 1 (HCMC) below.

You can consider choosing between Lai – Cantonese Restaurant, Moc – Rieu & Bake, Sorae or Secret Garden if you are looking for a restaurant space to enjoy dinner in District 1, HCMC.

Suggested dishes: Dumplings, roasted duck, herbal marinated char siu

Lai – Cantonese Restaurant is located in a rather strange location compared to other Chinese brands in Ho Chi Minh City that I know. The feeling of enjoying Xinjiang, Yunnan (China)-style food on the 28th floor of a building in the heart of District 1 offers a new experience.

The space inside is cool, the decoration is quite beautiful, the design exudes an elegant, Asian style, but visitors cannot observe the surroundings. So, I chose to sit outside to enjoy the city view on the lights.

The ingredients here are fresh, the menu is varied, but the taste is not too special and the portion is quite small. The group ordered crispy roast pork without being too fat, crunchy and big, crunchy shrimp, thin shell, delicious seafood rolls when served with soy sauce. I like the aromatic and rich golden oat seafood fried rice.

For me, going to a Fine dining restaurant for a meal without serving napkins is difficult to accept. The restaurant was not so crowded that the staff did not observe all the customers.

Comparing this restaurant with cheaper Chinese food addresses, Dim Tu Tac or Ngan Dinh seems more worth the money. However, the space and view here is still worth a visit on important occasions.

Suggested dishes: Udon, sushi, sashimi …

The name Sorae means “Above the Sky”.

Like other high-rise restaurants, Sorae Restaurant – Lounge offers diners a romantic night-time atmosphere, below is the city shimmering, in front of a beautifully decorated meal, candles and smells. mildly fragrant. The restaurant is located on the 24th floor with tables and chairs arranged in each area, with a separate dining room for group guests. It is distinguished by high-class wooden design in traditional Japanese style.

Each customer who comes to the restaurant spends about 500,000-1 million VND for the experience of enjoying high-class Japanese cuisine. Readers from Denmark suggest that diners should try avocado foie gras eel sushi, salmon roe, beef steak, sushi tempura. “Eating sushi, first I can clearly feel the aroma of the eel, then the foie gras and finally the greasy taste of the butter, the top is a bit of dried onions. Overall, the dish is in harmony, the taste is unforgettable. “, Wrote Ha Mach.

You should book a table in advance to choose a good area.

Suggested dishes: Shrimp and pork spring rolls, shrimp rice cakes, lotus salad, shrimp, chicken …

Located in a dead alley on Calmette Street, Secret Garden is like a green garden in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, where I often visit every time I want to taste Vietnamese food and find some peaceful atmosphere.

Dining space is one of the factors deciding whether or not diners will return to the restaurant. For me, from the layout of tables and chairs, Buddha statues to the lake … here are meticulously cared for, reminiscent of the old village space.

The shop serves dishes from the North – Central – South regions with familiar cooking methods such as making salad, stir-fry, fry, and grill. I tried the salted egg tofu, mixed rolls, stewed chicken with lemongrass leaves, rice with crab meat, sour soup with prawns and prawns, and the taste was fine. Lotus leaves salad with shrimp, shrimp and chicken served with crispy shrimp crackers, mixed with the sweet and sour taste of the sauce is quite impressive.

Suggested dishes: Fried rice with scallop, crispy squid with tamarind sauce, grilled snail with green pepper, fried chicken feet with spicy sauce …

Moc – Rieu & Nuong is located right in front of Vo Van Kiet avenue, so it is quite easy to find. The restaurant impresses diners by the open, green and pleasant terrace space. This is the right place if you want to enjoy the evening after work with colleagues or close friends.

Here, you can try beef salad, chicken feet, pilot mascot or fried rice scallops, scallops grilled with flying fish roe … The price of the dish is high compared to popular pubs but good with the view and quality. . Each person spends about 300,000 VND.

The biggest minus point here is in the parking location quite far from the shop, if the group is crowded, customers have to take the car to the parking lot and walk to. Conversely, the number of cars is small, the security guard will assist you.

Suggested dishes: Deep-fried slow-cooked duck drumstick served with ginger plum sauce, shrimp with coconut milk, tacos filled with Wagyu beef and butter …

I have the opportunity to come and enjoy the Christmas menu of the restaurant along the river ROS – Dining & River Lounge. High-end dining spot open from 2019 on the banks of the Saigon River, next to the romantic marina is an interesting evening dating suggestion for you.

The space of the restaurant has both inside and outside. If you like the feeling of watching the Saigon River airy like me or admiring the special fireworks, you can save this address.

Asian-style restaurant dish, good taste, not too impressive. You can try the combination seafood tray, in which the cheese oysters are the best. The staff is enthusiastic and diligent to observe and suggest to change the plate continuously for the customers when the dish is finished. I appreciate the fact that the restaurant kept the table on time despite the large number of customers at that time.
