2025 Thao Dien Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

#TravelChat On a warm Sunday morning, we stopped by Astral, a cozy coffee shop in the Thao Dien neighborhood, known for its tranquility and uniquely chic style. The aroma of coffee wafted through the door. Beans from small growers around the world were meticulously brewed in simple ceramic cups, amidst sunlight filtering through the large glass windows and the surrounding greenery. With our coffee, a light conversation began. "If you had a five-day holiday, where would you go?" A simple question opened the door to the world. We began talking about coastal cities in Northern Vietnam, islands in the middle of the ocean, and even plans to drive around Dalat during the rainy season. Laughter and dreams gradually emerged as the coffee smoke rose. Astral is more than just a coffee shop, it's a starting point for planning a trip. Every table tells a story, every cup of coffee is an inspiration, inviting us back to the rhythm of life. The seemingly quiet Thao Dien neighborhood becomes a place to recharge your spirit, without rushing or competing. #MustVisitCafe

At Coffee Time, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee fills the air, accompanied by soft jazz music that soothes the soul and sets the stage for meaningful conversations. On a hot summer day like this, what could be better than discussing travel plans or sharing dreams of destinations you wish to visit at least once in your lifetime? While sipping on a hot latte and enjoying freshly baked butter bread, we take turns sharing travel stories. Whether it's the azure seas of the Andaman or the lush greenery of the northern mountains, every tale evokes the small joys hidden in each trip and the memories that a single cup of hot coffee can bring back. Talking about travel in a coffee shop is not just light-hearted chatter; it can be a source of inspiration, a plan for the next adventure, or even the beginning of a journey together in the future. So, if you're looking for a place to relax and find new inspiration, stop by Coffee Time and start a meaningful conversation that begins with the question, "Have you traveled anywhere yet?"

#TravelChat In the warm atmosphere of Beo Cafe in the Thao Dien district, this small cafe captures the charm of traditional Vietnamese culture in every corner. From the antique wooden furniture, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, and the soft sounds of local folk music, it's more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee, it's also a place to start conversations about "travel." Sitting at a wooden table by the window and sipping on a hot cup of coffee or the distinctively fragrant Vietnamese tea, the atmosphere invites you to strike up conversations, whether with fellow travelers or strangers. Stories of travel abroad, memories of small towns, or even the exchange of dream trip plans all naturally arise in a place steeped in nostalgic memories. Beo Cafe isn't lavishly decorated, but it exudes a unique charm that captivates many. Located in Thao Dien, a neighborhood teeming with travelers and expatriates, travel conversations are easy to engage in, and in multiple languages. Every word uttered is like a journey through memories, photographs, and the taste of the beverages in front of you. #MustVisitCafe

A beautiful café where kids and parents can get up close and touch the adorable, gentle, and super food-loving capybaras! 🥰 Today, we headed to Thảo Điền, parked next to a supermarket, and were greeted at the entrance by friendly staff who arranged an electric cart to take us inside. The café is located right by the river, offering a stunning view—especially during sunset when the golden glow spreads across the sky. We bought a 200K combo that included entrance tickets, food, and drinks to visit the capybaras.

SOKO bakes brunch at Thảo Điền is seriously one of the cutest places to catch up with your foodie crew, especially during the holidays! I mean, there’s a Christmas tree right in the restaurant, so the festive vibes are off the charts. Plus, that SUKU logo in the background adds major style points 🌟. Let’s talk food! The brunch menu comes in a bit pricey, with mains around 300,000 VND and drinks about 100,000 VND each. For three people, we spent a total of 1.2 million VND—honestly, the experience is sooo worth it for those IG-worthy moments and chill vibes.

📍Thao Dien Street Even amidst the fast-paced rhythm of Ho Chi Minh City, Thao Dien is a neighborhood where you can quietly find your own pace. It's a perfect place to pause and catch your breath. At Lins Furniture, filled with a warm wooden tone aesthetic, you can browse beautiful furniture and objects. A 10-minute walk from there will lead you to Urban Garden Café, a garden-like oasis in the city. If you're looking to escape the bustling city for a while and enjoy a relaxing afternoon, I highly recommend spending a day in Thao Dien🌿

Vietnam is packed with cafes! ☕️ One of the joys of traveling to Vietnam is cafe hopping! This time, I visited the Thao Dien district in Ho Chi Minh City. The Thao Dien district is packed with general stores and cafes. It was hard to decide which cafe to go to, but I decided to visit this one I'd been interested in. It's a spacious cafe called "Dalaland Coffee." The interior is so photogenic, I couldn't help but take loads of photos. 📷 The cafe is located at the end of a narrow alley, so there's little to no car or motorcycle traffic, making it a great place to relax! [Dalaland Coffee] Address: 24/4/1 Đ.

Let's eat Vietnamese wraps~ So, I went to Thao Dien Street, which is a bit far from the city center. I went to a traditional Vietnamese wrap restaurant there. Wow... what is this... the plating is amazing... and the food is so delicious... It's like eating traditional food in a hanok (traditional Korean house) in Korea? There were no customers, so it was quiet... ^^ Highly recommend this private date!!! And the variety of delicious food is a bonus? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 🫶🏻 - Ho Chi Minh City / Thao Dien Street

If you're looking for a relaxing spot that perfectly blends tranquility and style, Bibouyo Cafe in the Thao Dien district is the answer. Its warm atmosphere and modern minimalist vibe make it a popular destination for both Vietnamese and expatriates living in Ho Chi Minh City. The cafe's décor emphasizes openness and spaciousness, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The crisp white walls contrast beautifully with wooden furniture and lush greenery in every corner, creating a relaxing backyard feel. Soft music creates an even more pleasant atmosphere. Bibouyo Cafe's menu features carefully selected, high-quality coffees, along with other beverages like teas, fruit smoothies, and exquisitely flavored homemade pastries. Whether it's fragrant croissants, fluffy puddings, or seasonal homemade cakes, they're sure to impress visitors. #cafereview

#CafeReview Tucked away in a quiet corner of the charming Thao Dien neighborhood, Bibouyo Cafe is a vintage-style cafe that gently transports you back in time. The moment you step inside, you're instantly transported to a bygone era, with meticulously detailed décor, including antique wooden furniture, classic lamps, antique radios, and perfectly placed vintage accessories. The cafe's atmosphere is warm and reminiscent of your grandmother's childhood home, with soft orange lighting cascading down onto polished wooden tables. The walls are adorned with black-and-white photographs and vintage 70s posters, complemented by soft jazz music that wafts throughout. The cafe's simple yet charming atmosphere is captivating, creating a sense of calm and serenity. Bibouyo Cafe's menu is equally impressive, offering aromatic drip coffee, specialty tea blends, and homemade pastries like fruit tarts and original brownies. Each dish is served in vintage tableware, creating a memorable experience.

#holidayitinerary The restaurant's decoration is quite striking, with a luxurious and friendly Japanese and Middle Eastern style. The grilled items here are very special, and the staff provides table-side service and detailed descriptions of them. One dish that really stood out was the "Snow Salad"; I believe it was my first time trying it, and I found it quite unique. The restaurant has a spacious and very clean atmosphere, and the staff is very welcoming. Once again, I really enjoyed the view and the overall perfection of the place. I'll be back.

#holidayitinerary - A beautiful cafe with a million dollar swimming pool view in Thao Dien. Hidden in an old house, there is a view of the cool green shade of trees. ☕️ Lull cafe' ☕️ ⚓️ 44 Street 47 Thao Dien District 2 ⚓️ 💸 From 44'xu 💸 ⏱️ 8am- 22pm ⏱️ 🏍️ There is no charge inside the shop 🏍️ The shop is quiet and relaxing inside and outside, blending in with the chill vibe in this peaceful little corner where I can enjoy tea, cakes and coffee with friends and relatives. The staff are all lovely, so you should go in the morning or late afternoon, it will be much cooler than at noon when it is a bit sunny outside. ❤️

#holidayitinerary Tapas and Cocktails-Chi Mo-Thao Dien-HCMC. I visited this restaurant before to eat Pho and do a review. Now I heard that the restaurant has some new Tapas and cocktails, so I had to try them right away. 🏠The space at night when the restaurant lights up is like Hoi An at night. Sitting outside drinking cocktails with cool green trees is quite chill. The restaurant has an open kitchen, so you can watch the kitchen make Tapas dishes while listening to the kitchen explain the ingredients and how to make the dishes. 🌸Food: Among the dishes, I was really impressed with 2 dishes: Pho Xao Loi Rua and Com Rang Bo Cua Bo. - With Pho Xao Loi Rua, I have to admit that the restaurant's turtle core is delicious. The turtle core is stewed with Demi Glace black pepper, making the tendons in the turtle core soft and soaked in Demi Glace, making the meat very flavorful and unforgettable. The pho noodles are soft and chewy without breaking. When eating, you can smell the burning pan. Very good! - Fried rice with beef and cucumber: The rice is cooked with Pho broth, making the rice firm and permeated with Pho spices, making it fragrant and flavorful. When eating, you can also smell the faint smell of a burnt pan. This dish does not have pickles, but the Kitchen makes Aioli sauce mixed with pickle juice. The topping is rice cooked with Séng Cù rice in the style of lightly burnt Paella rice, slightly crispy and strange. The pan-fried beef is very skillfully cooked, not too tough. The remaining dishes are also quite delicious. - The dish of Quẩy made with sourdough flour eaten with Pate reminds me of Hai Phong's baguette. The restaurant's chicken pate is lightly fatty and very smooth. - The dish of crispy rice made from Séng Cù rice with braised salmon with pepper and wild vegetables is also strange. This dish is great with beer. - Fried vegetarian pho with crushed tofu and shiitake mushrooms cooked with pepper in Ragu style is also strangely delicious. This plate is very big. It has to be shared by 2 people. The restaurant's tofu is fatty. The first bite was delicious. But the following bites were a bit boring. 🌼In general, I find the dishes here to be delicious, with a very Vietnamese flavor, beautifully decorated like the dishes on the Tasting menu. The price is also reasonable. 🍹🍷 Cocktail: I was most impressed with the Tofu Cocktail with Vodka. The dish brings back old memories of soft tofu with ginger syrup at a street vendor. When drinking, you can faintly smell the scent of jasmine. The two new cocktails, Da Ta and Seasonal cocktail, are also gentle and suitable for PN sisters. In particular, the new Seasonal cocktail, combined with homemade Hanoi plum wine and a special puree created by Ms. Mo's family, is also smooth and delicate. 🌸 Service: Cute. The waiters clearly explain the ingredients and cooking method for all dishes. When serving cocktails, the Bartender also comes to the table to explain the ingredients as well

I discovered Taiwanese cuisine in Thao Dien and decided to give it a try. The name of the place sounds like a night market, but the overall atmosphere is more like a bistro. I ordered the chicken cutlet, hot and sour soup, and dan zai noodles, all of which I'd always liked. I didn't think the flavors were Taiwanese at all, more like creative cuisine. The chicken cutlet was tender and delicious, and paired with the pineapple and sauce on the side, it was truly unique! The hot and sour soup wasn't rich enough, and the sauce for the blanched vegetables was a bit sweet. Overall, the space and atmosphere made it a very comfortable place, perfect for gathering with family and friends. The food itself is a matter of personal preference. ❣️Yeshi Taiwanese Kitchen 🕰️Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM (Closed Mondays) 📍Address: 1F 16, Thảo Điền, Thảo Điền, Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh #HoChiMinh #HoChiMinhRestaurants #HoChiMinhFood #NightMarket #TaiwaneseFood

Escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city and take a slow stroll in the peaceful area of Thao Dien, Thu Duc. It's like taking a break from the hustle and bustle of a new, unhurried atmosphere. This place is full of the charm of a simple way of life, with cute cafes and a variety of restaurants. One of them is a special cool corner for those who love sweets - 2089 Ice Cream Shop. 2089 is not just an ordinary ice cream shop, but a "traveler's resting point" where you can stop and relax amidst the aroma of vanilla, chocolate and fresh fruits that are fragrant with every scoop. The specialty lies in the carefully crafted flavors to suit the hot weather of Vietnam and the relaxed mood of tourists in Thao Dien. After walking along the river or cycling around the city on a sunny day, stopping at 2089 Thao Dien is like going back in time to being a child who was happy with a small cup of ice cream in hand. Some people choose to sit quietly and read a book, while others come with friends and laughter. Everyone has their own reasons for coming here, but one thing is the same: the simple happiness that occurs in every bite. 2089 Thao Dien - Sweet and cool on the day of travel and sweetheart at every stop #Get a discount without relying on luck

#VisitHoChiMinhCity ⸻ – A Slow Escape in Ho Chi Minh City Hidden in a quiet area of Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An Collective is not just a cafe. But it is a small space where I feel like I can “rest”. The smell of lightly roasted coffee, soft music and natural light through the wooden lattice Make this place more than just a coffee shop. …It is the atmosphere of Hoi An that has been brought to the middle of Saigon. ⸻ 🏺 Decoration & Feeling The shop uses cream - brown - old wood tones like Central Vietnam. There are pottery, fabric works and still light and shadow. Every corner seems to be arranged to let the heart slowly relax. Suitable for both those who come to work lightly or sit still with a cup of coffee without rushing anywhere. ⸻ ☕️ Menus that I tried: • Salted Coffee: Slightly salty, very smooth • Passion Fruit Soda: Sour, sweet and refreshing, suitable for hot weather • Homemade pastries with a strong buttery smell Paired with coffee is awesome ⸻ 💭 Feeling after sitting there Here, they don't rush us No need to be someone who is good Just sit and give yourself time That's enough ⸻ 📍 More information • Open daily 9:00 – 19:00 • Many photo spots, but no one rushes you • They also sell local crafts and ceramics

Daily life in Ho Chi Minh Fireworks on War Memorial Day And the pretty flowers on Thao Dien Street in May It's a bit hot, but ^^ It's a good day to travel!!

#earthdayjourney Ciel dining 📍 Ciel Dining Thao Dien I haven't been to District 2 much lately. But Ciel is still one of the fine dining restaurants in District 2 that I always recommend to everyone (and the first and the best is always La Villa French for sure!) This time's menu will focus on poultry and less seafood. I will review the dishes that impressed me the most: • Choux pastry with three types of cheese, the most impressive of which is gorgonzola cheese. Normally this dish is a cold appetizer, but here when it is served to diners, the cheese is still warm enough, moist and melted to blend with the crispy crust of the cream puff as well as the rich fatty taste of Iberico ham and truffle mushrooms 🥰 • Fresh crab with tomato salad is a cold gazpacho-style soup but cooked with a consomme broth of 4 types of tomatoes and a little lemon to increase the freshness. Personally, I don't like crabs so I don't really like this dish but the tomato broth is very delicious. • Hong Kong fish maw cooked with steamed eggs, Spanish ham hocks. Add a little more cheese, richer, more saturated and thicker. I like version 2.0 of this dish better than the previous version. The fish maw is much more flavorful but still retains the chef's identity. • Northwest wild duck, as I understand it, is wild duck, hunted, not raised in cages. The technique is very good but the meat is still a bit tough, the smell of wild duck is still a bit strong so in fact, the side dish served with it, although it has it, cannot completely overpower this. Regarding the quality of the meat, it may be due to the soil, so this wild duck meat doesn't taste as good as the ginseng bird eaten at Dung Hoa's house 10 years ago 😹 I'm sorry but in Vietnam right now, I haven't seen any family that can handle wild duck well. • The best French pigeon in the world (that's what the chef told me), the price is the same as Kobe beef, the quality of the meat is number 1, far surpassing all the pigeons I've ever eaten in Vietnam and even China. Grilled eggplant and hollandise sauce add to the umami flavor of this dish, the meat is so tender that it's suitable for people with dentures 😹 • Abalone rice cooked in a special steamer ensures that the rice grains are evenly cooked and soaked in abalone liver sauce. The abalone is a bit tough and overcooked, but the rice is very delicious, delicious like vinegared rice cooked for Omakase in the Edomae style. The technique is very good, but I would prefer the abalone not to be overcooked. • The two most excellent desserts are sweet potato ice cream, like eating baked sweet potatoes with vanilla ice cream in the freezing cold winter. Winter truffle is very delicious. In general, the ingredients are impeccable.

#vietnamtrip Amanaki is known to mean "Hope" in the Tongan language of the Polynesian region (old English). With the belief that culture and art are the foundation for human existence and development. From the lobby to the private resting spaces, these two elements continuously appear and are naturally interwoven in the furniture of Amanaki Thao Dien. Just stepped in the door, the amanaki staff welcomed me extremely warmly. Instructed and gave me coconut water while waiting for room check in. I'm quite impressed with the atmosphere here, elegant and cosy style. The room I choose is located on the 14th floor, with panoramic view of the city and fireworks during Tet Ta or Western New Year. The room is laid out in a style that combines traditional and modernity. The center is the large sleeping area. Surrounded by all the necessary tools and accessories to use.
