When it comes to Saigon’s culinary landscape, the southern hub is pretty progressive. In addition to an array of Vietnamese dishes from every corner of the country, the city has also acquired a cosmopolitan palate that includes scores of Japanese izakaya , Korean barbecue spots, Taiwanese milk tea shops, Italian pizza places and burger joints of various international origins.
