Tasting Menu

Thank you, everyone. We’re so happy to be ranked the #1 food tour in Vietnam by Tripadvisor for 2026.

 

Three years in a row winning the Viator Experience Award (2022, 2023, and 2024): Top 10 Food Tours Worldwide & and recommended by VTV Online (Vietnam’s largest national media outlet). Enjoy a convenient hotel pickup & a delightful selection of 10 dishes:
1. Gỏi Đu Đủ -papaya salad, originally offered in our tour since 2018, includes long strands of thinly cut green papaya, roasted peanuts, black beef jerky, a wonderful addition of sliced Vietnamese coriander, and finally a handful of extra crispy fritters, fried shrimp crackers, on the very top. *fresh, yummy and must-try
2. Dừa Tắc – Coconut juice infused with pineapple jam or tangy kumquat jam.
3. Bánh Xèo – Sizzling Mekong pancake, a specialty served at a Chinatown restaurant with over 25 years of history.
4. Real Banh Mi: Skip the fancy, touristy spots like Huynh Hoa. This is the authentic, everyday Banh Mi that locals actually eat.
5. Bò kho – Vietnamese beef stew with glass noodles, slow-cooked with carrots and herbs in a rich, flavorful, bright-red broth, garnished with a handful of green onions, cilantro, sliced white onions, and a dash of pepper
6. Nem Bò Nướng – Grilled BBQ beef wrapped in lemon grass served with pickles
7. Vietnamese Pizza – Delightful fusion of melted butter, cheese, egg, and sausage.
8. Chuối Nướng – Grilled banana with creamy coconut milk, a creation honed over 20 years of experience by our vendor. 
9. Saigon beer is a must
10. Chè – Vietnamese sweet soup or Flan Cake With Coconut Milk
All local Vietnamese street food-stalls have Government Safe Food Certificate.

Le Van Tam Park

First stop: We will visit a coconut juice stall to enjoy a refreshing coconut juice infused with pineapple or tangy kumquat jam as we get to know the other guests and tour guides.

Then we head to the 2nd stop to try papaya salad, originally offered in our tour since 2018. It includes long strands of thinly cut green papaya, roasted peanuts, black beef jerky, a wonderful addition of sliced Vietnamese coriander, and finally a handful of extra crispy fritters and fried shrimp crackers on the very top. *fresh, yummy, and must-try

Vo Van Tan street

Now we’re heading to the heart of District 3. For the third stop, we’ll try grilled bananas wrapped in their leaves and served with sweet and salty silky coconut milk, a creation honed over 20 years by our vendor.
*sometimes, the owner doesn’t allow many bikes at the same time due to traffic, so we may buy it and bring it to the 4th stop

Ban Co Market

Nothing beats Saigon Bo Kho (our 4sth stop): Southern-style beef stew with glass noodles, slow-cooked with whole shallots (naturally sweet), carrots, and herbs in a rich, flavorful broth *loved by Mark Wiens (exclusively offered on this tour)

Ho Thi Ky market

Ho Thi Ky is the largest wholesale flower market, located in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, supplying flowers to the city and some provinces in the south of Vietnam.

At this market, we will try Khmer-style grilled beef, Vietnamese pizza, and Saigon beer. We learn how to cheer like a Vietnamese

Also, would you ever guess which Bánh Mì locals eat every day? Yes, we will show you the authentic one (not Huynh Hoa or any expensive version) after visiting this market.

Chinatown

As we mentioned, there will be a lot of food to come on this tour, so we hope you still have some room for Bánh Xèo in Chinatown, which is 3 km away from Ho Thi Ky Market (District 10).
Bánh Xèo is a savory Vietnamese crepe, bright yellow and crispy, filled with shrimp, pork, and vegetables, and served with sweet chili sauce and pickled sweet sauce for dipping.

Afterward, we will visit an old apartment in District 10 for Chè, a traditional Vietnamese sweet soup, or creamy flan.

Drop off

Back to hotel: We will drop you off at your hotel (the same as the pickup address), or you can choose a meeting point at bars or pubs located in Districts 1, 3, and 4. We can also provide you with a list of food and addresses upon request after the tour.

The motorbike tour was immersive, we got to try different food like locals as most spots were mostly where locals eat. Our tour guides, Kelly and Lyn, were very friendly and informative. They shared random facts about the food we ate and some places we passed by. They were also well-prepared, offering us ponchos when it began raining, as well as toothpicks and wipes after eating. Would definitely recommend trying this tour 👍🏻

Honestly, I couldn’t have had more fun. The guides were informative, fun, and a great starting point for Ho Chi Minh’s delicious street food scene. Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience HCMC’s street food but doesn’t know where to start.

Booked this tour for myself and my family (6 people) as I had done it before and was such a good time the first time.
It did not disappoint at all, food was excellent and riding on the back of the bikes lets you experience Saigon from a different perspective you don’t usually see (plus it’s also just really fun being in the traffic!)
Ricky organised to pick me and my family up from directly outside our hotel, then took us to a lot of different places to try heaps of different Vietnamese food and once we were done dropped us back at the hotel. Overall a seamless experience. Price was great value for money, so much food that most of my family couldn’t fit it all in.
Overall would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience not only the food but the feeling of zipping through traffic on a bike in Saigon!
10/10 experience.

Brian and Nam took my dad and I on this, well-thought-out and informative tour. We would never have eaten this kind of food or seen these areas if it wasn’t for this tour. Brian and nam’s attention to detail, kindness and thoughtfulness made this experience unforgettable. We felt so safe on the back of their scooters. My dad had a bad back and Nam looked after him so well; he fetched him higher stools to sit on so he wouldn’t hurt himself more. Brian and Nam bought me a rose from the flower market to end the tour. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
