Nhím's Mama Bistro | Saigon local food

Roadside stall with smiley waiters. We had generous slices of beef in our ban bo and flavourful broth. A good lunch spot!

Quaint little venue, few minutes walk from the mall. I’ve been meaning to go here for a little while as I saw the good reviews and I wanted Vietnamese food. I wasn’t disappointed. I went in for Pho but ended up having Bún Rieu instead. That’s the beauty of travelling and having an open mind, always something new to try. The food was delicious and the service was great - I’ll be back

Do your taste buds a favour and come try the food at Nhíms. My family and I are staying in HCM for over a week in the Masteri apartment blocks. We wanted to try a nearby local place for authentic food and this place seriously delivered. We tried other pho around the city, even Michelin star restaurants but they didn’t have the same flavour and aroma as this place. One of the staff Duc is such a lovely person who is friendly and has given us many helpful tips for our holiday. His English is great and he helped us to explain each dish every time and what sauces to add. It’s a small family run business and each day the menu changes so you are surprised and put your trust in the chef but it is so worth it. Any foreigner or local will enjoy the delicious food here it’s a must!

What a cozy location with delicious food!! I still think about the incredible Bún riêu I tried here. This is a family run restaurant, and you feel so welcomed when you walk in. Be aware that they do eventually run out of the main dish, so, come early if you can. 14/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam. This place is a must try!

I left Saigon a month ago and still dream about the delicious food I had at Nhims! The owner and her family are all incredibly kind and throughout our numerous visits taught us how to correctly eat each dish and shared other advice for our travels. The menu rotates each day but every meal we had was amazing so you cannot go wrong.
