Quán Ăn Ngon Sài Gòn

Quan Ngon is a pleasant spot for a relaxed Vietnamese dinner, especially if you enjoy traditional comfort food in homely Chinoise style setting without breaking your wallet. The restaurant is nicely decorated, with much of the outdoors vibrancy coming from the warm lantern lighting and inside, the Asian-chinoiserie interior décor. The space is open and well-ventilated (no fully enclosed walls), making it ideal for an evening meal. The overall vibe leans more towards comforting, homestyle Vietnamese food rather than luxurious or highly refined courses. There is seating available both upstairs and downstairs. A few interesting decorative features installed around the restaurant include a gold-white steel vintage motorbike, a rock statue, and a swing upstairs. Food-wise, the sour and spicy soup was satisfying and well balanced. The noodle portion was not overly heavy with a chewy qq texture. The meat in the soup was tender, soft, and lightly chewy, similar to well-cooked pho beef: supple, not dry, and easy to bite through while still having some body. The Vietnamese platters were decent overall (around a 6/10). The highlights were clearly the fried items, especially the fried beef-stuffed and vegetable-stuffed "popiahs" which were crisp and flavourful withoht being too oily. The "otak-otak" on the platter came with large lettuce and salad leaves for wrapping. The bún chả was well proportioned, with enough meat to properly accompany the noodles. I will recommend requesting extra lime/lemon as the set lacks an acidity source. Many dishes are assembly-based (similar to salads or DIY wraps) rather than fully integrated dishes like fried rice or pasta. This means the experience depends a lot on how much effort the diner puts into mixing and matching components. The mint served with the platters can sometimes be overpowering, particularly the larger leaves, which may dominate the overall flavour. The final bill for 2 dishes and 2 platters ended up around 650000 VNÐ, which is quite cheap actually :D

Been here approximately 5 time already. This is a most visit when im in saigon. Definitely tasty and delicious food and most item wont disappoints you. . Very traditional setting and vibe to the layout and the way the kitchen line is set up Make you feels you are getting food from street stall. . Diffently recommend the fried crsipy tilapia and the the banh xeo here when visit.

There were 4 of us, and we ordered 8 dishes. Only 4 of them were decent, while the other 4 were truly disappointing in both quality and flavor, especially considering the prices at this restaurant 😠😠😠. The 2 most disappointing dishes are noodles with immature chicken eggs and stuffed nails. 😒 The immature chicken eggs were fake, it tasted disgusting, I had to spit it out. The stuffed nails was full of powder, I guess only 5% of meat + snails. Why do they do business with this manner? I could not understand given the snail in Vietnam is very cheap… 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I initially found it strange that there weren’t many customers on a Saturday night, and most of them were foreigners until I tried the food. 😌 It was a complete waste of money, time, and a dinner to be here. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The restaurant is built in a heritage building and inside is antique style furnishings. It is opposite the independence building. Good variety of Vietnamese food which includes vegetarian food also

We came here as a family of three on a Thursday evening around 7pm. We were seated outside by the friendly staff and our order was taken promptly and efficiently. The surroundings are authentic in an old heritage buidling. The food arrived quickly and was of excellent quality....much better than we expected as we thought the restaurant may be a little touristy given it's location. The portions were large and very tasty. Food tour qroups arrived on mopeds shortly after we had been seated. Surely a sign that the food is good. The staff were friendly and spoke good English. The toliets were clean. Final take....excellent!
