Skip to content Our 2009 listing gave the address and a mobile number but little else, priced at about $3-5 a meal. We found no current listing, review or post for a French restaurant of that name at 153 Xo Viet Nghe Tinh, and nothing that proves it is gone either.
A different Sesame
A restaurant called Sesame, serving vegetarian food, is open at 39 Ton That Thiep in District 1 (its Facebook page gives lunch from 11:00 to 14:00 and says it’s a vegetarian restaurant). We can’t confirm that it’s the same business as the old Binh Thanh listing, so treat them as separate.
Eating in the area
Binh Thanh is across the Saigon River from the centre, and is mostly local restaurants and cafes. For vegetarian food, see Hoa Dang and Tib, or the wider Ho Chi Minh City guide. For evening street food, try Saigon’s night markets.
