Can't asked for a better ambience. Super friendly service and delicious food. Portions is reasonable, so need to order multiple if you're trying to fill up
We had a fabulous time at Secret Garden. The staff were very friendly and helpful (explaining how certain dishes should be eaten). The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend 👌.
I came twice to this lovely place and needed to repeat the same dishes because they were so delicious! So I highly recommended the khot shrimp/squid and the beef grilled wrapped in banana leaves, as well as the pineapple and passion fruit juice. We ate outside in the covered terrace that is beautiful , but indoors looks very nice too. Fair prices for the quality and atmosphere. Really recommended! Card payments accepted without extra fees :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Oasis in District 1 Secret Garden is exactly what its name suggests — a peaceful, leafy escape right in the middle of busy District 1. The moment you step in, the noise of Saigon melts away and you’re surrounded by greenery, warm wood interiors, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I ordered the clam salad, and wow — it was fantastic. Fresh herbs, crisp onions, tender clams, roasted peanuts, and those crispy sesame rice crackers… every bite had that perfect mix of bright, crunchy, and savory. The house dipping sauces took it to another level. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and kind service. If you’re visiting HCMC and want a memorable dining experience away from the chaos, Secret Garden is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
As a longtime fan who frequented the original OG location, I was eager to try this new branch. The renovation and decor are absolutely on point, creating a wonderful ambiance. However, the food was a letdown. Perfectly acceptable, but missing the distinctive, authentic taste 🥲
