Huong Lai was set up as a restaurant where disadvantage kids, delinquents, teenagers from poor families can go to to learn cooking, service etc. I went there knowing this and hence did not have the highest expectations food wise. However, I was pleasantly surprised. There are four set meals to choose from (prices about $20 per pax) each with about... More

We like to visit good cause restaurants and so were happy to come here. While the service was great and all the staff super friendly it was a little over priced for the portion sizes. The food was tasty though. However, as a non- smoker the fact that every other table was smoking while we were eating ruined our meal.... More

This restaurant is a bit out of the way from the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh but was close to our hotel so we decided to try it. The restaurant is up the stairs on the 1st floor, the menu is quite big, which was good as the waiter quickly came to tell us that a third of the... More

As someone who has worked with vulnerable youth, I found this place delightful. Our food was really good, and the servers so very earnest! The kids are quite shy, and really appreciated positive feedback. The manager told me later that he had learned English in Vancouver. I was grateful this place was mentioned in a major guidebook, or we never... More

Difficoult to find if it weren't for all the reviews in various guide books and online platforms. Once you find the entrance the friendly staff does their best to fulfill your wishes. We don't go to a restaurant for charity but for the quality of the food. But we weren't disappointed. The dishes are simple but taste great. The ingredients... More

Look, it is in a good cause. Training young people with new skills for the catering business is worthy and laudable, but the setting is very ordinary and so is the food. Again it does not justify its rankings in terms of the food, but if you want to support a cause then do support it. Little ambience but charming... More

We found this place through TA and was not disappointed, the food was excellent and with a family of 6 we ordered alot. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were the best we have had in one month of Vietnam. The service was great, around enough to ask if you would like another drink but not feeling like they are... More

Excellent menu and good service. if you want decent Vietnamese food at a fair price, i would recommend this place. The new Saigon special beer is very good too!

We went here based on the Lonely Planet guidebooks recommendation. My wife and I are social workers in the states so we are always happy to aid a good cause. The food was delicious and light (we had the light fixed menu). The wait staff were so friendly and attentive. We would recommend this place and return if we had... More
