Is it worth the trip, and what else nearby is just as good? Also, how much should I expect to pay for a bowl?

Try Bún Bò Huế O Xuân in District 3 for the same lemongrass broth with less of a queue.

Lines get long around noon, go early.

Same broth, less queue, so agreed. Go before 11am.

i went to Gia Truyền Huế Xưa on a trip last year, solid but not mind blowing. bowls run about 60k to 90k dong depending on toppings. honestly the little spots along Nguyen Trai in District 5 are just as good and cheaper.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

those alley stalls off Tran Hung Dao in District 5 do a decent version too and you can usually sit down for under 50k

arrow_drop_up 5 arrow_drop_down

fair enough, but do they do the proper bun rieu style broth there? also cash only at most of those little spots, bring small notes.

arrow_drop_up -1 arrow_drop_down

ngl the spots near Co Giang do a solid bowl too. prices shift a bit year to year so dont bank on those exact numbers

went on a trip there and the Bui Thi Xuan branch in District 1 was my favorite, broth had that proper lemongrass punch. expect 50k to 70k at most places. try asking for extra bun rieu topping if you like it richer.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

tbh the bun rieu thing is a bit off, thats a totally different soup, just ask for extra nam and huyet instead.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

yeah the lemongrass punch is real, but skip the bun rieu ask and get extra nam and huyet instead, thats teh proper topping

Best dermatologist in Ho Chi Minh City 2026?

Any recommendations for clinics around District 1 or District 3, and do they take international health insurance? Also curious what a consultation typically costs out of pocket.

I went to Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong at the Victoria Healthcare clinic on Nguyen Van Troi in District 3 and they handled my insurance paperwork directly. Consultation ran about 500,000 VND out of pocket, though eczema follow ups might be cheaper.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Second this, but book ahead, walk-ins wait hours

arrow_drop_up 4 arrow_drop_down

Weekday mornings, right at opening.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

Do they bill your insurer direct or reimburse u later?

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

good to know they file the paperwork for u. did that 500k include the actual prescription or just the consult? asking cause my eczema stuff usually doubles the bill once creams get added

arrow_drop_up 5 arrow_drop_down

Usually the consult fee is just the exam, creams get billed separately at the pharmacy counter. Ask them to write the generic name, since the branded tubes can run 300 to 600k each and generics are often half that.

arrow_drop_up 5 arrow_drop_down

Consult fee only, and the pharmacy at FV Hospital on Nguyen Luong Bang charges separately, so budget roughly double once your steroid cream is added.

arrow_drop_up 4 arrow_drop_down

Prescription's on top, so closer to 900k all in.

arrow_drop_up 4 arrow_drop_down

Worth checking if they still take your specific insurer in 2026, contracts shift yearly and eczema care often needs pre-auth.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

Did they quote u a follow up price too?
