A Saigon hearth since 1995

From a small eatery on Tu Xuong street, Cơm Niêu Sài Gòn became a beloved Saigon institution — through tableside-cracked clay-pot rice and 200+ hearty Vietnamese dishes.

1995

A hearth in District 3

Cơm Niêu Sài Gòn opened on Tu Xuong street with a simple idea: cook rice in clay pots, the way it was done back home.

The ritual

Cracked at your table

The clay lid is cracked open right in front of diners — the moment everyone remembers.

The spotlight

On No Reservations

Anthony Bourdain visited for No Reservations — a milestone the whole team still talks about.

“Cooked in clay, served steaming — a hearty meal that tastes like home.”— Cơm Niêu Sài Gòn, 27 Tu Xuong
