Black Rumor - Salad Bar

I had a salmon bowl and dare I say it’s the best poke bowl in HCMC. The taste is exquisite, everything is so fresh, and the portion is just perfectly enough. Unfortunately the ice cream is out of stock on the day I visited (sep 26) tho.

Oatmilk soft serve ice cream - completely vegan and dairy free!! It’s really delicious, lightly sweetened so don’t be afraid to add toppings 👍🏾👍🏾. It also came with a cone! Also the service was great; I asked several questions because I’m lactose intolerant and have a reaction to dairy - they were patient with me and they assured me there’s no dairy, showed me what they make it with, and even gave me a sample to try. I will definitely come back for more soft serve since this is some of the best vegan ice cream I’ve found while traveling - and I’ll try the salads and bowls too. They have a lot of options here!

Looking to try a new Poke shop around Thao Dien and chanced upon Black Rumor. It's pretty quiet on Sunday afternoon. Only 2 other customers. Shop is cosy and comfortable. Has poke, salad, granola, oats etc. Ordered Poke Salmon.... Ingredients taste fresh as expected from Poke Bowl Unfortunately compared to my usual Poke shop, they don't offer customised options (only can add on), toppings are lesser, portion is smaller and price is higher (Paid VND205). Also crab stick is processed food, which I don't think should be added into Poke bowl. I don't think I will come back for Poke again but I'm keen to try other selections next time, especially the Oat soft serve ice cream.

The atmosphere was very comfortable, the service was friendly, and the smoked duck salad recommended by the manager was delicious. The food was absolutely worth the price.

A great healthy food spot in the Thao Dien area. They specialize in salads, poke bowls, oat smoothies, and other clean, nutritious options. The owner seems to be Korean—and clearly a big BLACKPINK fan! You’ll notice K Pop photos all over the walls, and even the restaurant name has a similar vibe. This time I tried their Tuna Poke, and it was really delicious. The highlight was definitely their chili sauce—highly recommended, don’t skip it. I’m already planning to come back to try their yogurt next time. Prices are very reasonable, around 100,000–200,000 VND, which is great value for the quality. By the way, the girl staff member who served us was super friendly and charming, which made the experience even better 🤭 Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
