PAMA Stew & Brew

Great experience for brunch - their dishes are inspired by the local bò kho but with some interesting twists. The handmade pasta noodles are excellent and the German pretzels also go quite well with the dishes. They also have an interesting drinks menu with fruit juice combinations and cold brew coffee. The neighborhood is also a plus - quite charming with leafy alleyways in a quiet corner of Thao Dien, with many good cafes around. Would make a great weekend stroll.

Small menu but flavours are in point! Knife-cut noodles are great. Tangeriot drink is fantastic. Would definitely come back.

Tucked away in the heart of District 2, I just discovered a hidden gem! PAMA Bò Kho Ông Bà Già... cả nhà ơi. The moment the food arrives, I noticed the full visual experience. Presentation is 10 điểm. The bò kho sits rich and deep in the broth, with tender chunks of beef that look like they’ve been slow-simmered for hours, and tasted just like that. So YUMMY! The noodles are coated in a glossy sauce, perfectly seasoned, with that soft, golden-centered egg... so beautiful... so colorful... It’s the kind of dish that looks just as good as it tastes... So satisfying... Every bite from the chew of the noodles to the melt-in-your-mouth beef, so super good enjoy the moment. The space adds to the experience. Corner wall with shelves of spices, warm lighting, and handwritten coffee notes gives off a cozy, thoughtful vibe—like you’re dining in someone’s carefully curated kitchen. It’s simple, but every detail feels deliberate. If you’re in District 2 and craving something hearty, authentic, and visually satisfying, this spot delivers. Check it out.

Hidden restaurant stay on Truc Duong street, it’s was amazing Bo Kho that i’ve eaten before. The dish is cooked in a more modern way compared to its orginal version,and its truly unique. I really enjoy and highly recommend 👌

Cute restaurant with amazing food! We came here for lunch while exploring HCMC and wow it was good. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was also the restaurant's 2nd birthday 😊 and we got lucky with a discount! We ordered their signature bountiful beef stew with knife-cut noodles and their coco brew juice (forgot the actual name of the juice but it had lemon, lime, ginger, and coconut). I highly recommend trying if you're in the area! Edit: We went back and tried their classic bountiful noodles and it was phenomenal!
