I went last year and it's not a tourist trap, mostly Vietnamese families grilling at the table. Book ahead for Saturday, walk-ins get squeezed after 7pm. Beyond octopus they do scallops, shrimp, and a decent bò nướng you cook yourself. Prices sit around 200k to 300k per person with drinks. It's on a side street in District 3, a short Grab ride from the center, so worth it if you're nearby rather than a special trip.

Scallops sell out by 8pm, go early.

Agreed, and the ốc hương (babylonia snails) go even faster, so order those the moment you sit down.

Book by phone rather than Facebook since the owner rarely checks messages during service.

the online portal needs a verified phone number tied to ur passport first, that step blocks most people

Right, and the SIM has to be registered in your own name at a Viettel or Mobifone counter, not bought pre-activated.

Tax office on Hai Ba Trung, not District 1.

yep its the cuc thue building further up, easy to walk past. bring your passport plus a notarised copy of the visa page, they turned me away for a plain photocopy. go early, queue builds by 9

go before 815, tickets run out by lunch

also worth knowing it's the cuc thue branch up past the ven hanh intersection, not the small ward office
