Green Monkey Saigon

I’ll add better pictures (before finishing the food next time) - I got the combo: a chicken with eggs wrap and the Coco Matcha drink, as advertised. 💯 Very value for money. (I’m an asian male average height and average weight; exercise frequently, but was full with the portion received.) Counter Staff is hardworking and genuinely friendly. 👍🏼 👏🏼

Don’t think I have had such a pleasant and fulfilling experience dining at a new place in a long while. This morning I was not feeling greasy food after 10 days of traveling. And so I searched up for healthy food in Thao Dien. Of course there are hundreds of places there but I pride myself on being a good restaurant reviews investigator 🕵️‍♀️ - I can tell which one is real and which one is bot (such is the case with restaurants nowadays). Anyways, the first review I saw here was from someone who said she went back almost everyday during her stay at the airbnb nearby. That sold me. Along with her comments about how the green juice healed every cell in her body. I saw comments about huge portions but NOTHING could have prepared me for the gigantic wrap literally the size of my forearm being brought out. In this economy? In Thao Dien? For 129k VND that is unheard of! I’ve been to Thao Dien countless times and I’ve tried so so many restaurants. But seriously if you’re looking for nourishing affordable food look no further. My cafe bill later was higher than this meal lol.. The wrap was so good with a thin crisp and the chicken and mayo and chili was chef’s kiss. The juice made me double blink because while I am no stranger to ginger and lemon and celery, this juice took me by surprise at how potent it was. Literally like a huge glass of straight ginger/celery/lemon shots. And it came without ice too 😭! How can you be so perfect and generous? And yes it was working like magic helping me with my constipation just an hour later 🫣 Saw freshly baked cookies and bought them to eat later on the plane. They were still so delicious! Seriously Green Monkey makes me wanna move to Saigon. I can eat there everyday. They made me wanna weep tears of joy and gratitude for such care and thought and effort they put into their foods! I felt so good about myself after eating. Food can taste good AND be nourishing! Not to mention the owner and the staff were so friendly and looked like they were genuinely happy to be there 🥹Please don’t ever go out of business. My biggest regret was not finding out about you sooner and give you all my money!

Cute and cozy café with good coffee, tasty sandwiches, fast Wi-Fi, and nice staff. It was really quiet and a nice place to stay and work. Also, I liked their choice of music. We’ve got Gourmet chicken baguette and The Surf & Turf baguette. The gourmet chicken was really good. For the surf and turf, if you like a lot of fresh onions, then it is a right pick for you. I’m not a big fan of a lot of fresh onions in the sandwich, so I’ll try some other options next time. Thankfully, they have a lot of things to try. Also , I’ve noticed that they have some facilities for kids, such as chairs, toys, and other things for entertaining kids.

It’s top1 place for a healthy breakfast in Saigon! Portions are surprisingly huge, the quality and taste of dishes is highly satisfying. The atmosphere and service are very delightful and just melted our hearts! Also this place is perfect for both: vegetarians and meat eaters. Highly recommended!

Food is more than just delicious, cinnamon biscuit is yummmm 🤤 I love sitting outside at the balcony in the morning. It's quite chill. The plants need to be taken care a lil bit then you have amazing place. The man staff who wears like a chef is so friendly and nice. I will be back 😬🙏🏻
