Tân Định Market

This is a local market so prices are lower here, not very much tourist here because I think only few knows this market. They have instant coffees here, various kinds of nuts and many more local items. Just no souvenirs. I bought a G7 3in1 here for 65k (21 sachets), which is 88k already in Trung Nguyen branches. I also bought a sandal here, brand is TriWin, they sell it at Ben Thanh for 800k-1M, I bought it here for 200k. There is also a nearby coffee bean store, that is also much cheaper from Ben Thanh. Also vendors here are smiling and very friendly. Plus its near from the famous Tan Ding church or Pink church.

Tan Dinh Market is a local gem worth exploring. It's a bustling spot where you can find a variety of goods, from fresh produce to clothing. The market offers an authentic Vietnamese shopping experience, with plenty of local flavors and bargains. While it can get crowded, the vibrant atmosphere and unique finds make it a visit worthwhile.

Right, so I’m wandering around Saigon & stumble into this market—what a place! It’s like a sensory overload of the best kind. Imagine this: I’m just minding my own business, looking at some fruit, when this cheeky old woman practically grabs my arm and thrusts a spoonful of her homemade chili paste at me. Now, I’m thinking, “Oh, this is going to be a disaster.” But no, it’s actually amazing—spicy enough to make me question my life choices, but brilliant. I end up chatting with her for a while, and she’s laughing like she’s just told the world’s best joke. Next thing I know, I’m leaving with a jar of chili paste and a smile on my face. This place isn’t just a market; it’s a full-on experience. It’s chaotic, it’s vibrant, and it’s exactly the kind of place where you’ll get an unexpected story—or in my case, a jar of chili paste and a new friend.

Your everyday typical market in South East Asia with a combination of wet and dry section. Worth a quick check in when you visit the nearby cathedral. What stood out is the traditional costumes and fabrics at the section near the main entrance which is different from other markets.

A nice market. Has the Pink church, highlands coffee where we sat for a bit, some showrooms, cycle market etc. lit if traffic though. I went to look for water but couldn’t get it anywhere. There was only one cafe kinda where she gave me 500 no of water for 80000 vnd normal regular water and cold referigated water for 100000 vnd which is expensive but then it’s all about need. Almost like double price. Language problem too. I went to a grocery store cum small restaurant and they couldn’t understand English. It’s in district 1 itself.

This market offers a more authentic local experience compared to Ben Thanh Market. Although it has fewer stalls, prices are significantly lower. It's a clean and tidy market where many items have prices clearly displayed, eliminating the need for bargaining. It's advisable to have Google Translate handy as English isn't widely spoken among the vendors. Came on a Saturday morning and it was well packed with locals buying food, produce, meat, etc. Remember to drop by the pink church for some photos!

For a true local experience like no other. From fresh meals prepared to fruits and live markets. Quite an experience

Most of the shops in Tan Binh primarily cater to wholesalers, although they do offer retail options at a slightly higher price. I enjoy visiting this area whenever I'm in Vietnam because it's not overly touristy and offers a wide range of dress and clothing options in various qualities and styles. There's also an excellent bridal selection available. The food court serves delicious spicy noodle soup, rice plates, and Bun Rieu noodle soup. It's a laid-back atmosphere and enjoyable to wander around, with fewer vendors bothering you compared to Ben Thanh Market.
