District 10 slows down before you ask it to.
Why District 10, why now
District 10 is gaining traction in 2026 as a local-favorite zone along the Ba Thang Hai boulevard corridor, anchoring a growing cluster of Vietnamese-concept specialty cafes and street-food spots that Vietcetera and Saigoneer have flagged as an authentic alternative to the over-saturated District 1 and Thao Dien scenes.
1. Goc Hue - An Duong Vuong
- 400 An Dương Vương, Chợ Quán, Hồ Chí Minh
- 4.8 · 736 reviews · Bun bo Hue
Goc Hue opens the course because a bún bò Huế spot that holds a 4.8 across 736 reviews is the kind of anchor that gets the morning right. You arrive before the corridor fills up, order what you came for, and let the rest of the day follow from there. The route is built to start settled, not rushed.
Crew's note
The chairs aren't in a hurry. Neither are you.

2. Nha Minh Cafe
- CC 16 Trường Sơn, Cư xá Bắc Hải, Hòa Hưng, Hồ Chí Minh
- 4.7 · 114 reviews · Cafe
Nha Minh Cafe closes the course because after a bowl like that, you need a chair that isn't asking you to leave. A neighborhood cafe with 114 reviews and a 4.7 rating is doing something quiet and consistent, and this is where the course trades momentum for duration. If you skip this stop, you leave District 10 too soon.
Crew's note
The chair's been waiting. Alley's yours.
What visitors say
Attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere, tasty drinks at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
The staff speaks English well so I was able to make my order easily and ask for clarification.
The walk between
The stretch between the two runs along the Ba Thang Hai corridor, where the Vietnamese-concept cafes and street-food spots the scout research mentioned start to stack up. You're walking through the part of District 10 that the local-favorite reputation is built on.
- Start Goc Hue early enough that the second stop still feels like mid-morning, not lunch.
- Nha Minh works if you're planning to sit past one drink, the kind of cafe where the second hour costs nothing but time.
FAQ
- Does Goc Hue accept cards?
