Cà phê Đỗ-Phủ, cơm tấm Đại-Hàn

Do Phu Cafe is an interesting destination if you love to learn a little about the history and explore the old house that used to be the secret base of the Saigon Special Forces. The lady (perhaps the host) is very willing to introduce and show you where documents, letters, and money were hidden in aluminium cans hanging in the narrow wall. The secret basement, just enough for one person to crawl into, is camouflaged in a wooden wardrobe upstairs, with an exit to the house's back door. It is great to be able to enjoy broken rice in a space where the objects associated with it seem to witness all the events that happened here, from the past during the war to today's peacetime. Although it is introduced that the broken rice dish still retains the same flavour as before 1975, honestly I find it a little below average. The meat is too dry and the steamed egg meatloaf seems to have too little glass noodles and wood ear mushrooms in the ingredients. In return, the pickles are very delicious. The drinks are also very typical, most of them are popular drinks from the old days. But the flavours are not too outstanding.

Broken Rice is quite good, the fish sausce is typically saigon style. Pork chop tasted great, but a little thick and dry, but overall experience is still good ;) It’s deserved to have a try if you are a traveller :D

Cute little place with old furnitures and steep stairs. Sitting in the balcony can be an experience while the local go by. Their signature dish, the first on the menu is worth a try. We also tried their butter coffee ( filter coffee with butter in it) - It was unique and has given me some ideas to try when I am back home. Use google translator for a better experience, they are nice people. Just need to know what you are after :)

It's cafe and you can have Com Tam here. The pork was a bit stiff but it tastes good. The price was not expensive comparing to the decore and atmosphere. It's nice to visit here.

Despite the regular com tam with a dry meat, the soup, the rice and the pickles were delicious. I recommend the place mostly for the great atmosphere. Travel back in time.

Historical location for study An old days memory of Saigon Delicious food & drinks Helpful & knowledge staff who share us many good stories about this historical house & others. A little bit dark inside & quite moody in rainning day Đỗ Phủ broken rice like old day dishes with kim chi Have got handwriting notes of Vietnam General Võ Nguyên Giáp & Sir Nguyễn Phú Trọng when they had visited here!

The atmosphere feels very traditional, and the food tastes great.

A pretty good cup of coffee in a historic, traditional house off the beaten path. The inside is almost untouched from 50 years ago, and while the chairs are not very comfortable there’s something undeniably relaxing about the setting. Great service and a cool view of the street from the porch or balcony.
