Amano Local Eatery - Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

We visited on Thursday night and decided to check out the Gg reviews before trying it out. They have four tables downstairs, and upstairs, there’s a long bar table that’s only open when needed. The food was pretty good; the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the braised pork shoulder could have been cooked a bit longer for extra tenderness. The pizza was okay, not particularly flavorful. The salad with quilted lettuce was fine, and I didn’t want to make a fuss about it. What really bothered me was the lingering kitchen smell on my shirt when we left. The place has small, low ceilings and an open kitchen with minimal exhaust (we couldn’t hear it) 🤷‍♀️

Lovely service! And I love that they provide sanitiser at each table! Unfortunately that has become too rare. Pizza dough is very good but the flavour is lacking a little compared to what I’m used to with the four cheese pizza. Also the place is a bit messy/casual but I was glad to get a seat and appreciate being able to pay very conveniently by card.

Amazing food and service. They actually offer a wide range of pizzas with their own spin on Vietnamese cuisine. A definite must to revisit in my opinion

The meatballs are absolutely phenomenal! Handmade pasta is cooked al dented and you can taste the noodle flavour. Music is too loud, but a lot of Vietnamese restaurants go for the techno music lol.

The best local pizzeria i HAVE HAD in my 1.5 year stay in saigon. Beats 4Ps in EVERY WAY. I dont even know how they do it. Their foods just taste good and this is coming from a woman who HATES western foods just so you know (still craves it occassionally) I've been to both locations they have and the one in le thánh tôn is bigger with more tables but to be honest, yall need a revamp. I mean the 2 stores are cute and cozy and i get the vibe but things seem a lil bit run down. Nevertheless it doesnt affect my experience one bit. I stay happy the both times i had my dinner in these set ups. Foods ? Like i said, OUT OF THE QUESTION. Try it, be happy, mark my words. Service ? Its not like the usual professional chain brand but its sufficed. Staff are cute altogether, laid back fun ensemble kinda vibe and that suits the place. I mean they were still very enthusiastic and helpful dont get me wrong. Overall i am satisfied and def will come back lmao foods so good i dont even bother to talk about the price but its very reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
