Viet An - Ho Chi Minh city

Kind of surprised to see that the last review for this place was years ago...We lived in HCMC about three years ago and used to come here all the time. We were delighted to find it still here (not so with our other, much cheaper, favourite: Phap Hoa. So sad to see that 's gone! Anyone know what happened to it? Their food was AMAZING! . Anyway, the food here is still incredibly good. The owner is lovely, and the whole atmosphere is really warm and welcoming. The reviewer that complained about the parking must be talking about somewhere else. There 's a lovely man who will watch your bike for you and you can tip him if you like, but there 's never been any 'extortion ' going on when we 've been there (and seriously? Extorting 10,000 VND? Blimey, time to check your privilege, stranger . A great restaurant with sensationally good food. The name is now Nha Hang Chay Viet An, though (the signage has changed , but it 's exactly the same place with the same menu.

This place is lovely the staff are so friendly and attentive and the food is excellent. My tops is the pho, which I personally think is one of the best in the city. The prices are a little high (65k for pho, 85 90k for a dish), but for a eat in place like this, it's par for the course. Totally recommend!

The owner and waiter make you feel at home, speak English and are very friendly and helpful. The pineapple rice was sweet with a nice fruity aroma. I would definitely go back there and try some more dishes.

Update I stopped going here in 2015. The food becoming more average and the dodgy parking guy trying to extort 10,000vnd from me for the FREE parking. There are much much better places to eat. The food at Tib is good. Can be a bit on the pricy side when compared with other Vego places in the city, which sell food on par with them. Updated from previous review on Monday December 19, 2011

I have been here a couple times and had a great experience. Anything I have ordered was really good, but the the best things were the grilled eggplant and pineapple rice. You will not go wrong with anything you order. Also the service was incredible and the staff is very nice. It is worth a visit in Saigon, its more expensive than local vegetarian restaurants but not an expensive place
