Đệ Nhất Mì Kéo - Quận 2 - Asian restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Pretty good noodles. I like the dried noodle dishes more than the soup versions.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I have eaten dim sum in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and across Southeast Asia, and this has honestly become one of our favourite local dim sum spots. The restaurant itself is quite unique, with both a front and back entrance, so you can access it from either side of the road. Once inside, the place feels clean, spacious, and well looked after. The decor is nicely done, the chairs are comfortable, the tables and cutlery are clean, and you can tell proper effort has gone into the setup. The menu is a good size too. There is enough choice without it being overwhelming. The duck is a must try and was genuinely one of the best I have had in a long time. The roast pork cheung fun was so good that we came back again just a few days later. The vegetables were also fresh, crunchy, and well cooked, and the spicy Beijing dumplings are definitely worth ordering. Portion sizes are good, service was excellent, and the staff were very attentive. I also liked that they have an open kitchen where you can see the food being prepared, and the kitchen looked spotless. Special credit to the guy outside making the noodles in the heat every day. You can really see the effort that goes into the food here. Highly recommended. A fantastic local dim sum restaurant and one we will definitely keep coming back to.

I took my family to De Nhat Mi Keo for lunch today after hearing a lot of good things about their hand-pulled noodles, especially the Char Siu pulled noodles. And honestly, the whole experience was better than expected. 📌 Ambience: The restaurant has a clean, spacious, and classy look. Air-conditioning is cool and comfortable, and the seating is perfect for families. Even the menu feels well-designed and professional. 📌 Service: The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to serve. They checked on us a few times and made the whole meal feel pleasant and welcoming. 📌 Food: The hand-pulled char siu noodles are the highlight. The noodles are springy and aromatic, the sauce is flavorful, and the char siu is tender and juicy — not dry like many other places. You can really taste the difference with handmade noodles. We also tried some dim sum and the Sichuan-style pork trotter. The dim sum came out hot and nicely filled, and the trotter was soft with a rich, savory sauce. The wonton soup had a clean, natural sweetness — not the artificial kind. 📌 Price: Reasonable for District 2 considering the quality and the restaurant’s upscale atmosphere. Definitely worth it. 📌 Bonus: If you leave a 5-star review, they give you a complimentary herbal tea. I reviewed because I genuinely liked the food, but hey — a free cool drink is always a nice touch 😄. 👉 Overall: A great spot for a family lunch. Good food, nice space, friendly service — and the hand-pulled char siu noodles really live up to the name “De Nhat”. We’ll definitely come back to try the roasted duck and more dim sum dishes!

This place is usually crowded, a lot of staff, just need to wait for the food. Food is average to me, but service is good.

Tastes good food. The dishes have the Chinese style with Vietnamese favor. This is good place for family, group of friends, with a cozy vibe. Very affordable.
