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.

Booked a same-day food tour and it was well worth the money. I left feeling absolutely stuffed! My favorite stops were the Bun Bo and the Banh Mi, hands down the best I’ve ever had. The guides (Ricky, Ryan, Andy, and Micheal) were also very knowledge and easygoing. It was fun meeting other tourists as well.

We had a really great food tour through Saigon by motorbike! We tried a lot of delicious local food and drinks. We also learned many interesting things about the city, the culture and the food.

Our guides Ricky, John, Ryan and Peter were very friendly and well prepared. They even brought wet wipes for us to clean our hands between the different food stops. We felt very safe on the motorbikes the whole time.

A really fun and interesting evening and definitely a great way to discover Saigon. We would totally recommend this tour!

We had an amazing adventure with our tour guides Kelly, Andy, An, Levi and Kit. They were super friendly and informative as they took us around to many of the long standing establishments where the locals eat and drink.

We were so full by the end of it and felt safe on the motorbike
