Gao Dai Viet: Preserving the Vietnamese Spirit Amidst an International Rhythm

Every city has its own soul. If Ho Chi Minh City embodies vibrant diversity, then Bui Vien Street is the heart where that spirit truly comes alive. Amidst the lively rhythm of this international hub, Gao Dai Viet (Dai Viet Rice) stands not merely as a restaurant, but as a story — an experience, and an invitation filled with pride in Vietnamese identity.

Gao Dai Viet

From Grain to Table: Cherishing Vietnamese Tradition

The story of Gao Dai Viet begins in the endless rice fields nourished by the fertile deltas of Vietnam. To us, rice is more than a staple — it is the symbol of a rice-growing civilization, the result of hard work, and the essence of the land and sky. We believe that every great dish starts with the finest ingredients.

At Gao Dai Viet, we select only the best, most fragrant, and tender rice grains — each carrying the journey of dedication and care. From the hands of the farmers who sow the seeds with love, to the moment those grains are cooked into aromatic dishes, every step reflects our respect for Vietnamese agriculture and tradition.

A Space That Tells Stories: Reviving Vietnamese Beauty in the Heart of the City

Stepping into Gao Dai Viet feels like stepping into another world. Separated from the hustle and bustle of Bui Vien Street, the restaurant offers a serene and welcoming space. Its architecture is inspired by the rustic charm of Vietnam — with handmade lanterns, bamboo décor, and traditional patterns creating a warm, homely atmosphere.

Every corner of Gao Dai Viet tells a story — of peaceful countryside life, of enduring traditions, and of the beauty deeply rooted in the soul of the Vietnamese people.

The atmosphere at Gao Dai Viet is cozy and rich in Vietnamese character.
