Officially opened in early October 2022, the restaurant in District 5 - "Saigon - Cholon" cuisine (161 Vo Van Kiet Street, Phan Thiet City) immediately attracted the attention of local diners and tourists who loved the flavors of Saigon - Cholon.
From dishes with "family recipes" famous for decades in District 5 and District 8 (Ho Chi Minh City), the "Saigon - Cholon Delicacies" brand chose the tourist city of Phan Thiet as its first destination in its business strategy to introduce its menu of traditional delicacies to tourists and people from provinces and cities outside Ho Chi Minh City. Despite its relatively modest business area, its central location in the coastal city and, especially, its menu of nearly 40 traditional dishes and specialties from District 5 with novel flavors, prepared by chefs from the family tradition, have gradually won over diners.
One of the signature "traditional" dish groups in Phan Thiet, both delicious and unique, and with a rather interesting name, is dim sum. It's simply dumplings, steamed buns, wontons, etc., but with secret recipes for fillings (seafood, char siu, vegetables, custard...), creative decorations, and especially the unique dipping sauce (soy sauce, chili sauce, satay, and red vinegar), the flavors of dishes like shrimp and crab dumplings, crystal dumplings, shrimp and crab siu mai, fried wontons, steamed dumplings, char siu buns, custard buns, and Xiao Long Bao are elevated. Most of these dim sum dishes are prepared at the main restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City and transported daily to Phan Thiet to serve customers.
Besides dim sum, the menu also includes other dish groups such as: rice noodle soup - wonton noodles, stir-fried noodles - fried rice, specialty dishes, nutritious stews and nutritious desserts, with two dishes considered the restaurant's specialties being stir-fried rice noodles and crispy fried noodles. Responding to a question about customer feedback on the food's taste, the manager said: "Most customers commented that the dishes were delicious and unique, with a smaller number suggesting a difference in saltiness and sweetness." The dishes on the menu are all family recipes, each with its own distinct and famous flavor. To cater to customers' tastes, the restaurant provides guidance on preparing suitable dipping sauces to ensure each dish is delicious and perfectly suited to everyone's palate.
With just enough space for 10 tables, the restaurant boasts a cozy atmosphere, a distinct "Saigon - Cholon" style decor, attentive and friendly staff, and most importantly, serves food "hot" after customers choose their dishes. These positive points attract more and more diners to the District 5 restaurant, as well as those ordering via phone (0981.200.069) for "delivery." Open from 6 AM to 10 PM daily, the District 5 restaurant - "Saigon - Cholon Delights" is one of the unique and novel culinary destinations that locals and tourists should visit. It is known that in early December, "Saigon - Cholon Delights" will open its second branch (197 Hung Vuong Street, Phan Thiet City) with a more spacious and modern space, and will add more of the famous "roasted" dishes that have long been popular in Saigon to its menu.
