paying by card at Giang Nam Quán in Gejiu 2026
Cash, the card reader is unreliable.
Yep, and Bank of China ATM on Jinhu Rd is the reliable one.
seconding this, the terminal at the bar choked on my visa twice before going through. the atm by the night market on Renmin Lu is the one i'd trust after dark, though it sometimes runs out on weekends
Agreed, though the ICBC branch by the old tin mine handles foreign cards better than most.
fair, though the tiny shop two doors down swaps yuan at a decent rate if u dont wanna hunt for an ATM at all
true, i'd just pull what u need before heading over. the machines inside the big supermarket on Jinhu are usually stocked and quieter than street ones. keep small notes too, they sometimes struggle to break a 100 for a round.
the bar's own machine is fine for small tabs but anything over a couple hundred tends to time out mid-transaction
thats the timeout thing, splitting into smaller authorizations usually gets through where one big charge stalls
small tabs clear fine but ask them to run it as debit not credit, credit auth is what stalls
only for bigger tabs tho
Nhà hàng Tùng Lâm in Gejiu, worth a stop?
I was there in October and the bánh xèo is what I'd go back for, crisp enough to crack and loaded with shrimp. Skip the fried rice, it's forgettable. The place sits a bit off the main drag so grab the address before you head over.
Agree on the bánh xèo, add nem nướng.
yeah nem nướng is the other one to get, the dipping sauce with it is worth the mess. only thing is the place is tiny so if you roll in with more than four people you'll prob wait.
true about the wait, but they'll squeeze you onto the shared table by the door if you ask, which beats standing outside.
The alley behind the market, not the main road.
Second entrance off Jinhu Road, past the phone shop.
Worth noting that entrance drops you straight into the dining room, so don't wander looking for a host stand.
that alley one is easy to miss, look for the blue tarp stall on the corner and turn right after it. parking is a mess around there so just walk in from the market side
Tung Lam does a solid bún chả and the grilled pork is the move, but go before 7pm since they sell out.
good call on the timing. their fish sauce mix leans sweet so ask for it on the side if that's not your thing. and they close early some weeknights, so call ahead if you're going later in the evening.
