Looking for the best seafood spot on Bui Vien Street? Skip the tourist traps — discover Dai Viet Restaurant, a 24/7 local favorite serving live crab, lobster, snails, and hotpot in the heart of District 1.
1. Not All Restaurants at Bui Vien Are the Same
Bui Vien Street is known for its bright lights, bars, and backpackers — but finding real, quality food here isn’t always easy.
Among the neon signs and music, there’s one place that locals actually return to again and again:
Dai Viet Restaurant
Tucked among nightlife spots and souvenir shops, Dai Viet is more than just a restaurant — it’s a seafood house where the flavors are as fresh as the seafood tanks by the door.

2. Choose It Live, Eat It Fresh
Here, the experience starts before you even sit down.
Guests walk up to the tanks and pick their seafood live — from Ca Mau crab to scalloped spiny lobster, queen conch, and more. Everything is cooked to order, using traditional Vietnamese flavors: garlic butter, lemongrass, tamarind, or just steamed and dipped in green chili salt.
No frozen trays. No guessing what you’ll get. Just real seafood, real fresh.

3. No Rush, No Noise — Only Real Saigon Flavor
While many restaurants on Bui Vien are loud and tourist-focused, Dai Viet Restaurant is surprisingly relaxed.
The staff are friendly. The food comes out hot and fast. The vibe? More family table than party bar. You’ll hear soft music, clinking chopsticks, and maybe someone happily cracking crab claws beside you.
It’s the kind of place where you forget you’re in one of Saigon’s busiest streets — until you step outside again.
