Cơm Niêu Sài Gòn

Cơm Niêu is a highly recommended Vietnamese homestyle restaurant with multiple branches throughout Ho Chi Minh City. It’s popular among both locals and tourists, and for good reason. Every time I pass by, the place is bustling with diners eager to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The star dish here is their clay pot rice, which is similar to Korean-style crispy rice. The bottom layer of the rice is perfectly charred, giving it a delightful crunch that pairs wonderfully with the savory flavors of the accompanying dishes. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant. Beyond the clay pot rice, the restaurant offers a wide variety of homestyle dishes. From the rich flavors of fish sauce-marinated pork to crispy fried spring rolls, every dish we tried was flavorful and met or exceeded expectations. The quality and authenticity of the food truly shine through. As for pricing, it’s incredibly affordable. Our group of seven spent about 2,000,000 VND in total, which is remarkable for the amount of food we ordered. It’s a great value for the quality and portion sizes provided. One unique aspect of Cơm Niêu is the live performances during the evening, which add an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. The lively yet cozy atmosphere makes it an excellent choice for family gatherings or a night out with friends. Overall, Cơm Niêu is a fantastic spot to enjoy traditional Vietnamese cuisine at an affordable price. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit for its signature clay pot rice and homestyle dishes.

A Vietnamese Gastronomy restaurant, serving delicious meals and clay pot rice. Recommend for food, atmosphere and both inside A/C and outside, full service restaurant including Valet service. - Enjoy - J

The service is great, very fast and friendly. The food was fresh and tasted great. The menu is big and every dish is quite unique. The price might be a little bit high, but it's worth every penny just for the decor and unique ambiance the place has to offer.

Their speciality is claypot rice but is quite different from those we taste in Singapore, as the rice is just somehow harder and without the burnt taste, something the Claypot rice in SG is known for. The dishes we ordered could be found in most Vietnam tourist restaurants like "Ngon", so nothing much to brag about.

A must visit for first timers to Ho Chih Minh. Order the broken claypot rice just for the performance and experience. The dishes are general pretty nice although it won’t be the same as the time when Anthony Bourdain visited.

We came here for lunch. The food was cooked very well. The staff is super friendly and kind to our kids. The decor is very cool too. We didn't reserve but still got a table because we came a bit earlier than lunch time. This place is quite busy so if you plan to go, it's worth to book a table to avoid waiting.

The food we ordered was simple and plain. Service was ok. Good location, setting and decoration. Crowded and noisy.

Food was average, price is steep for the small portion. Clam casserole tastes great. The rest of the food was average. Fried squid is tasteless and tough. They did not break the claypot nor throw it in front of us. Maybe because I went on a weekday afternoon. When it was not very crowded. For the price ($800k) and quality of food, I don’t think it is worth the trip down.
