Nhà hàng Tùng Lâm near Gejiu, worth the trip?

fmd_goodNhà hàng Tùng Lâm · #restaurant #food #gejiu
I'm passing through Gejiu in early 2026 and someone told me to eat at Nhà hàng Tùng Lâm. Is it actually worth crossing over for, and what should I order there?

Skip it unless you're already headed to Mengzi, where the border-town kitchens actually earn that kind of detour.

Ca phe sua da, if they still do it.

Mengzi's alleys near the old railway terminus beat anything on the Gejiu side, no contest.

I haven't been to Tùng Lâm myself, but that name reads Vietnamese rather than Chinese, which is odd for a spot near Gejiu. Double check it's still open before you cross over, and confirm the address with whoever recommended it.

Yeah always check it's not just a menu translation thing, names get mangled all the time.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

Same happens with Chinese place names romanized twice over.

Worth asking whether it's a Vietnamese-run spot serving the old Indochina crowd or just a transliteration on Dianzhu.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

honestly calling ahead is the move, phone nuber might be dead by now

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

The old French quarter side, ask for the pho.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

Fair point, plus the name could just be a Chinese owner borrowing a Vietnamese-sounding brand, so ask who actually runs teh kitchen.

200 sounds like the whole-night rate for a mid-size room, not per hour. Most places in Gejiu quote the room for the evening and split it among whoever shows up. Confirm whether drinks and fruit plates are included before u commit.

arrow_drop_up 5 arrow_drop_down

Agree, and check if the room has a minimum spend.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Minimum spend usually kicks in after 10pm.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

usually kicks in closer to 9 on weekends

arrow_drop_up 21 arrow_drop_down

Weeknights it's more like 8.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Different spots, different cutoffs. Check with the room.

arrow_drop_up 22 arrow_drop_down

fair, but teh clock varies by venue so just ask upfront when their cutoff actually is

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

yeah the fruit plate thing trips people up, some spots count it toward the 200 and some bill it separate. ask them to write the total on paper before you sit down, saves the awkward bit at the end

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

Writing it on paper also stops them adding a service fee afterward, which some rooms slip in at checkout.

Per-room pricing is standard across Gejiu, not per head.
