If you enjoy Japanese cuisine, one well-known location in Saigon to explore is Thai Van Lung in District 1. This area truly evokes the impression of being in Japan, living up to its name, Japan Town. Just like in Japan, you’ll see bars, or Izakayas, cafes, ramen and sushi restaurants, all with their signature wooden signs, fabric, lights in white, red, and yellow, as well as the distinctive rolling doors, which are present throughout the entire neighbourhood. You would certainly believe you were taking a stroll somewhere in Tokyo or Osaka during the summer if it weren’t for the Vietnamese address lines. The best part? It isn’t the only one in this city.
Just to really emphasise how authentic this area is, the businesses in here are all owned and managed by Japanese expats, and mainly serve the large Japanese expat community living and working in Saigon, hence the Japanese signboards. Over the years, it has also become increasingly popular as a tourist spot for both locals and foreigners.
