Đệ Nhất Cơm Canh Thịt Lợn (Thảo Điền)

If you're craving authentic Korean food in Ho Chi Minh City, Subyeon Choego Dwaeji Gukbap in District 2 is definitely a must-visit! The pork gukbap was absolutely delicious, and honestly, it was just as good as the ones I've had in Korea. The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting, with that authentic Korean taste that can sometimes be difficult to find overseas. The milmyeon (Korean wheat noodles served in a chilled broth) was also excellent and tasted just like what you would expect from a good restaurant in Korea. We also ordered dumplings, which turned out to be another great choice. They had a wonderfully chewy and springy texture, making them very enjoyable to eat. What impressed me most was how consistently satisfying everything was. The pork gukbap, milmyeon, and dumplings were all delicious, and there was really nothing to complain about. If you're Korean and missing the taste of home, this place will definitely hit the spot. Overall, this was a nearly perfect Korean dining experience. The pork gukbap was outstanding, the milmyeon was just as satisfying, and even the dumplings exceeded expectations. A reliable choice with no disappointments. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Korean pork soup in Ho Chi Minh City!

good bone soup and cold noodles. i wish they have blood sausage in the soups, though. delicious cabbage kimchi. everything is tasty, simple, and reasonably priced.

Had an amazing experience at Đệ Nhất Cơm Canh Thịt Lợn in Thảo Điền. If you’re looking for authentic Korean comfort food, especially pork soup and gukbap, this is definitely a place worth trying. The food was excellent. The pork soup was rich, hearty and full of flavour, with tender pork that went really well with the rice. I also really enjoyed the Korean side dishes that came with the meal. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the portions were generous enough to make it a really satisfying meal. The service was excellent as well. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout the visit. The restaurant has a simple, cosy atmosphere that feels more like a traditional Korean family restaurant than a fancy modern place, which I actually really liked. Overall, definitely a 5-star experience. Great Korean food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. I’d definitely come back again whenever I’m craving a proper bowl of Korean pork soup in Thảo Điền.

It's Korean restaurant. I had a pork soup at lunch. It's very smooth and kind tastes. With the some toppings, I could change the flavor a bit by bit If you don't have appetite much, then this could be a choice for you. The value for the price is good also. The seating is comfortable enough.

Probably the best pork soup rice I’ve had in Ho Chi Minh City! The broth is rich, fragrant, and super addictive—and even the plain rice is really fragrant too. I got the special pork soup with blood sausage, pork, and pork stomach—very generous portion and really satisfying. It’s only around 180,000–200,000 VND, great value for how filling it is. The steamed dumplings are also really good, but they often sell out on Sundays—so come early!
