interesting experience. the food was good. loved the crispy bread and fish cakes. made us so full, couldn’t have lunch afterwards.
I went to the eatery early in the morning, and the service was quick after placing the order. The place only serves two dishes — make sure to try their special pan bread and a glass of iced milk coffee! It’s something special you should definitely try!
I’m so happy this place is still here . I went here with a friend for in 2018 for the first time. We loved it. It’s a very filling, local breakfast. I was excited to go back with my husband. We ordered the two available items and a milk coffee. It was A LOT! We felt bad that we couldn’t finish it. My husband is still talking about how soft yet crunchy the bread was . The service was also incredible, very kind and helpful. It was also fun to sit on the side of the street in a very local area and see the morning unfold.
Bánh Mì Hòa Mã is a true gem for Vietnamese breakfast lovers. This legendary spot serves up a unique and mouthwatering bánh mì ốp la — a sizzling skillet of eggs, assorted cold cuts, pâté, and more, accompanied by a warm, crusty baguette. The flavors are rich and savory, and dipping the bread into the egg yolk or pâté elevates the experience to another level. Despite its simple setup with street-side seating, the food is top-notch. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the vibe is authentically local. It gets busy early in the morning, but the wait is absolutely worth it. Verdict: Delicious, iconic, and a must-try breakfast spot in Ho Chi Minh City.
A really excellent local place for breakfast. The prices are a bit high but it’s very filling and high quality. The food was great at 8am and the service was fantastic and very friendly. Coffee was fine. Lots of parking but space for seating is quite limited.
Nice bánh mì breakfast spot I usually go to in the morning. It's usually very busy early morning time so if you're in a hurry, don't come before 9! The bread is very good, I personally think it's the best thing there. It's very soft on the inside and airy. The pate is homemade, and their fish cakes are very good (generous portions)!
One of the best breakfasts I have ever had! Within 2 minutes of ordering the food and coffee was already on the table. Under 100k VND for breakfast and a coffee. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the banh mi was so fresh and crispy! A great way to start the day when in HCMC!
